InfOrmation & DialOgue

tO the MOdern VersiOn:

THe base story line from tHe original Comic and Tv series was a classic, but today it's largely outdated. Even in tHe spin offs, tHere seems to be a common tHeme within tHem all. THe quality, intensity and tHe substance of tHe characters and story line seem to burn out reasonably fast. THe female lead for instance, starts out fiery. A force to be reckoned with, someone that stands up in tHe face of adversary and against all odds. Too quickly it seems, after just a few episodes. SHe loses that fire that made Her a standout character to begin with. SHe turns into some kind of submissive wimp that cowers at tHe hands of tHe male lead’s controlling motHer, caves to all tHe pressure and situations that build up around Her, stops fighting and runs for tHe hills. This really lets me down. Not only as a viewer, but for tHe story itself. For instance, tHe male lead is drawn to Her because sHe's tHe only person who has ever stood up to him. SHe’s strong, independent, intelligent, righteous, prudent, loud, wise, different and more interesting tHen every otHer person He has ever met. SHe stands out to him. But, to have Her basically retreat into some kind of timid, overly shy, quiet, borderline brain-dead mute after just a few episodes was a complete let down. It contradicted tHe reasons why He was attracted to Her in the first place. I also don’t like tHe fact that tHe female lead acts like a 40-year-old virgin being forced to kiss a stranger. THere’s no emotion or flowing cHemistry, it feels unnatural and awkward to watch. THe male lead does well to keep the depth of his character alive, but tHere's only so much you can do when you have a co-lead that becomes boring and placid and does a complete 360 on what tHeir character originally begun as. I get sHe was meant to be shy, but it started becoming unfortunately too boring or too corny to watch after a while, and at times just pure cringe. F4 Thailand is tHe only version I can say that kept it realistic enough to really enjoy. But even in that version, I felt like some things were unneeded and made tHe story unrealistic. Such as tHe memory loss and brain damage to tHe male lead. I feel like too much over the top drama ruins tHe dynamic of tHe show, keep it believable.

I would like to recreate tHe female lead’s role entirely in this story. Into someone that can actually keep tHe energy, interest and intensity from start to finish. Someone that can match tHe male leads intensity and growth throughout tHe entirety of the story. THe dynamic between tHe upper and lower class is an interesting and intriguing plot. It has a lot of potential and a lot more could have been done with it to build more tension and suspense between all tHe characters. Seeing tHe two classes battling it out and bumping Heads until finally declaring a truce should have had a lot more substance and context to grow tHe opposite classes bonds more appropriately. I would also like to include a lot more action and fight scenes along with a lot more realistic drama that reflects a modern teenage romance in tHe current generation. I want to give it a more Action/RomCom feel. I’d also like to magnify more deeper tHe struggles, trials and temptations a real teenage girl would have to really go through dealing with school, violence, love and lusts for the first time. Also experimenting with parties, substances, dogey jobs and doing tHethings your parents taught you not to do.
