Cherry Magic

For those that may not know, the basic plot is this: Shy and reserved Achi has turned 30 and discovers that he has been given the power to read people's minds when he touches them. Through this power, he inadvertently discovers that his extremely competent and handsome colleague, Karan, is in love with him. This results in some big changes in Achi's life.

It's worth comparing the Thai version to the Japanese version of this manga. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. The overall production values in the Japanese series are better as is the acting in general. But there is something incredibly charming about this series despite it being a bit rough in spots. (The three couples are all uniformly cute and have nice chemistry but still feel like friends rather than lovers). I think the new characters and relationships, the integration of the Thai culture into the plotline, and the positive messages inherent in the original story (e.g. Goodness and kindness are important traits in a love partner) all make the series worth watching.

As someone who has watched the Japanese series recently, as in finishing it right when this started airing, this series is a watch I couldn't miss out on!!

As the anime and Thai adaptations were being released at the same time, GMMTV had to put the series for Thai viewers only. But did that stop some of us? NO. I watched this on so many websites that I've lost count. I WANTED TO SEE TAYNEW!!! I finished watching the JP version, started the anime, and started this all at the same time. It felt like I had deja vu.. BUT That's okay because this story may just be a favorite of mine.

This story portrays Achi, a average office worker, who suddenly gains the power of mind reading with any physical contact at the age of 30. Karan, someone born with everything, right? Except being able to make the one he loves, fall for him. Until.. Achi bumps into Karan and suddenly hears his thoughts. Karan, the best worker, most handsome, most popular, is in love with him?

TayNew will never disappoint me honestly. No matter of I've seen all of their series or not, they are the IT couple!!! There weren't many side characters that made me upset, surprisingly..

The side couple, Jinta and Min, are CUTIES!! I loved that couple in the Japanese one and I do in this one!! Mark (Min) is just a cutie overall and I'm glad to see him on screen. Although at times, just like in the JP ver, I had to take a moment before continuing the scene.

This series overall was great, just like the Japanese series. If you need a wholesome love story, this is for you. I love TayNew and can't wait to see more series of them!!

P. S. The cat? CUTEST ONE OF ALL!!!!

I dont mean to be that person, but this is so much better than the JP version. Don't get me wrong, the JP one gave me tingles, but the Thai one is just top tier. The production, the acting, cinematography is really great. Each episode keeps getting better and better. The second couple, Jinta and Min, are killing it too. TayNew have always been my favourite BL couple and i was worried their onscreen chemistry had already fizzled out, since they hadnt acted together in a long time - so happy they proved me wrong.

This is a must watch and is a breath of fresh air from the trending 18+ BL series.

Its been a day since I finished watching it and WOW. I don't think i can get over this drama any time soon. I mean, i just made an imdb acc just to rate this drama, that's how much I loved it. It was sweet, cute and everything I love in a drama. The chemistry between the actors was great too. I have not seen any of their drama before so their chemistry was definitely a pleasant surprise.

And the last Ep, the last Ep was definitely a cherry on top. I was not expecting that happening but boy was i glad.

So overall, one of the best bls released this year. I am sad it ended and I am going to miss ashi and karan so much.

Cherry Magic is pure joy from start to finish. I never got bored, not even once! It's the perfect mix of romance and comedy. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of BL series set in office environments because they can feel slow or dull, but Cherry Magic completely changed my mind. It's fluffy, adorable, and downright hilarious.

The premise is gold: Achi suddenly gets the power to read people's minds when he touches them and that's how he finds out the hottest, smartest guy at work, Karan, secretly has a crush on him! Karan is such a sweetheart, a total green flag energy. Achi, on the other hand, is this shy, innocent cutie who doesn't realize how lovable he actually is. His lack of confidence can be frustrating, but it's also what makes his character so endearing.

The chemistry between Achi and Karan (TayNew) is top-tier; they're so cute together! And don't even get me started on the hilarious mind-reading scenes and Jinta's reactions. Jinta and Min (JuniorMark) are such a fun side couple too. I cracked up when Jinta read a dating guide in the bookstore, adorable! Oh, and the chubby cat? Bonus points for her.

The story flows so smoothly, with a simple but consistent plot that kept me smiling the whole time. I didn't skip a single scene. Even the supporting characters, like the boss who speaks Nihongo (his accent is everything), added so much charm to the series. No villains, just vibes, lighthearted, wholesome, and comforting.

And that airport love confession from Achi? So beautiful and heartwarming, I could melt.

If you're looking for a feel-good BL series that's sweet, funny, and full of heart, Cherry Magic is definitely a must-watch.
