Originally airing on Kapamilya platforms on December 19, 2021, F4 Thailand follows the narrative of a charismatic girl, Gorya, from a lower-class family, who enrolls in a prestigious university. There, she encounters the elite F4 clique, consisting of wealthy and spoiled boys named Thyme, Ren, Kavin, and MJ.

Known for their bullying tendencies, F4 subjects Gorya to a series of pranks, making her life miserable. However, Thyme, the leader with a notorious temperament, becomes captivated by Gorya’s spunk when she publicly embarrasses him and stands up to the group.

Thyme romantically pursues Gorya, but he must contend with Ren, the quiet and mysterious F4 member who forms a deep connection with Gorya.

Throughout their journey, Gorya and F4 become entangled in a whirlwind of adventure, learning meaningful lessons in love, family, and friendship.
