Cherry Magic

For Thai BL fans, TayNew is not a new thing. Seeing them both in another BL series brings back the sweet memories of Pete & Kao from Dark Blue Kiss. This Thai adaptation of Cherry Magic from the original Japanese version really put TayNew's infamous chemistry to good use. Several changes was made in this version. Like how Achi (Adachi) doesn't have any senior who often ask for his help in the office. And also how Rock (Rokkaku) isn't Karan's (Kurosawa) assistant. He's actually closer to Achi than to Karan, which is the exact opposite of the original version. Also they made Pai (Miss Fujisaki) ended up with Rock. That was a sweet twist! Come to think of it, this Thai version of Cherry Magic is extra sweet and extra spicy. When Achi was gonna crash at his place, Karan's imagination was way naughtier than Kurosawa's. I feel like I'm getting diabetes after finished watching this series. I'm sure Cherry Magic's fans won't be disappointed with this adaptation.

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.

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.

At first, I thought it would be the same as in the JP series or from manga. As the series was released, it was able to include Thai culture in the series. Viewers were able to relate to each character. It starts with a light and funny series, but as the story develops, it shows us different characters and how the main characters help them (and each other) handle their personal issues, as well as work-related problems.

The actors, from the main ones to the supporting roles, all have amazing chemistry and showcased their acting talent viewers will relate and appreciate. Tay Tawan and New Thitipoom proved they are really amazing actors.

Overall, I recommend Cherry Magic TH to all viewers!

It's a feel-good series you will definitely enjoy!
