Cherry Magic Thailand (2023)

It Was a Cherry Magical Series

We finally got TayNew back onto our screens and I couldn't be more happy. My gosh, I completely forgot how amazing both of them look -- individually and together, and man, my my my, aren't they beautiful. Anyways, onto the Thai remake of the Japan series, "Cherry Magic", that has blessed our screens with these two. I'll say, when I first heard that this was getting a remake with Tay and New I was a bit skeptical on how this was going to go, plot-wise and acting-wise. I think I agree with others when they say this series is not an entire remake of the original. Instead, it's its own series with a lot of the plot changed, some things added, and just the overall Thai BL touch that GMMTV knows how to do well.

Let's Dive In.

The few first episodes were the best out of the entire series. The building of the characters and the setup of the overall plot was golden. I was sitting on the edge of my seat throughout it all, feeling so intrigued with Achi listening to Karan's thoughts, the connection between Achi and Jinta, the office relationship, and the overall pleasantness of the series. I'm glad they kept the iconic elevator scene and they executed it perfectly.

Now onto the rest of the series, the episodes where Achi had to leave to work in another part of Thailand, were where the episodes get a little draggy. Personally, if you take out Achi leaving and some other junk this series could've ended in 10 episodes. I hate when the last 2 episodes feel irrelevant to the actual plot, which this teetered very near that line. I got bored, and I skipped through a bunch of the filler to get to the parts that I wanted. But nevertheless, it was all still good, just blah.

Moving onto the Achi and Karan's relationship -- I think they were so stinking cute. I think the first bit of their relationship was obviously established through Achi reading all of Karan's thoughts and feelings, which led him to feel the same way. Tay and New have had years of connections and so their already close relationship helped build the chemistry between Achi and Karan perfectly. When the series was announced, the joke running around was that Tay and New took this role so they wouldn't have to kiss (lol), but they shut that down immediately with some amazing kiss scenes, and even a very mid-heat NC scene, but still it was done to show that Achi was about to lose his powers, and even I was expecting that. My only real argument about this couple is that Karan's character is not as developed as I would've liked him to be. He was a walking green flag, which isn't a problem, but his flaw was not having a flaw. You could argue that that's an actual flaw itself, but it's never pointed out in the series that he's too nice, too forgiving, too perfect. He was such a one-dimensional character, there to be sweet and his whole personality was to make Achi's life better. I would've loved some more character depth from him. For Achi, it was more that he wasn't taking accountability for a lot of what they had going on in terms of their relationship and let Karan always take the blame. Besides like one time he apologized, Karan was there to forgive first. I also kind of hate that Karan didn't feel some type of betrayal when finding out Achi was intruding into his thoughts, even if he wasn't trying to. I would've liked a conversation behind Karan wondering if Achi really liked him or was only doing so because he could hear his thoughts. But besides some of those small points, they were really cute, and TayNew did a good job.

Moving onto Jinta and Min -- the most disappointing part of this entire series. Junior (Jinta) was by far my favorite actor/character. He took this quirky role and made it work perfectly in this remake. His conversations with Achi, his reactions to MIn, his way of analyzing and thinking and reacting -- all of it was legit perfect. It was also so nice to see Mark (min) again since Sky in Your Heart. He did an incredible job in this -- showing how versatile his acting is compared to his character in SIYH. Their setup was nearly perfect, and their continued build-up was so good that I was rooting for them more than I was for Achi and Karan at one point. Then Jinta confesses, and it's magical. After that, they have a couple of cute moments, but my problem is that Jinta never loses his powers, which isn't entirely terrible, but the premise of this series is that their virgins with superpowers that no longer will have them by the end. It's upsetting, but I guess it's an oh-well situation. I would've still loved to see them connect and watch how their first time would've gone down which is why the end result of this couple is such a letdown, but nevertheless, I really liked them.

Another addition to this series was Rock and Pai who I actually really liked. I liked that Pai was assertive and more of the leader in their relationship while Rock was bubbly and just happy to be around her. Loved the way Rock treated her and flirted with her. Again, happy they became a couple, but a kiss would've been nice too.

Now, onto some nit-picky things: I wish they would've had the moments when Achi was touching someone for it to be slow-down because their touching for a long period of time when Achi read their minds felt so awkward. While I liked the Rock and Pai addition to this series, they still felt irrelevant to the entire series and didn't really help drive along the original plot. They were obviously added so this series could run for an entire 12 episodes, but that time could've been used for Jinta and Min to build more, or even Achi and Karan.

Ratings:

Story: 8.5/10 - Really nice. Felt like its own series and did not follow the same format entirely as the Japanese one. some stuff felt draggy, but overall, this was really nice.

Acting: 9/10 - Great! Junior was the best in terms of taking his character to the next level. TayNew were a close second. Everyone else did well too.

Music: 6/10: I didn't pay much attention to it at all.

Recommendation Value: 8/10: This was really nice! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to see TayNew again on their screens, and if they enjoyed the Japanese one. I feel like I liked the Japanese one still a lot more, but this was good too!

my honest review (kinda story-telling too lmao) ??

i want to desclaimer at the beginning before im continuing this review. i might adding my opinion as a polca (shipper fandom of taynew) but overall this is my honest review as a pure viewers.

first of all, this is a comeback of taynew as a BL couple and i'm so excited. no matter what kind of series they'll get, i don't care, as long as i can watch them as a couple on screen again. then, when i know taynew will got a series based on one of the famous BL manga, my excitement doubled and doubled. i know this manga already had a japanese series and ofc, i have to watch it first before the thai adaptation one is airing.

finally, on december 9th 2023, the first episode of cherry magic thailand is airing! i'm very happy and ecstatic but can't helo myself to comparing it with the japanese version. i really like the japanese one but for some reason the thai one hits so much different. starting from many adjustments to the culture in thailand so the series can be more comfortable and acceptable to watched by the native people there, details that are not shown in the hapanese series, the chemistry of taynew and other players that so fun to watched, and much more (you can watch it yourself if you want to know more).

i can proudly say, cherry magic thailand is such a masterpiece and can be one of the must-watch series that you have to see at least once in your lifetime.

the series still on-going so if you want to binge-watching it, you still have time and then keeping up until the newest episode. i'm kinda promoting here but you can watch it live at 20.30 BKK time every saturday on gmm25 channel and rewatch it on viu thailand at 22.30. the english subtitle already available both of the platform. let's feel the magic of cherries by yourself like me, guys! 🥰🍒🪄

BL SERIES OF THE YEAR

I can simply say, this was worth it! I really can't believe that it's gonna end today. I'll surely miss them and the series and end up repeating my fav scenes (which are uncountable tbh)

I was a bl fan back in 20-21 but suddenly i lost the interest in them. I think like a month ago i suddenly wanted to watch some parts of my fav bls. I wanna say i didn't really like DBK. The only thing i loved about the series was the intro. And I didn't actually care that much about TayNew back then (probably bc of the characters ig . They didn't hit me much)

So while i was watching some scenes of SOTUS which has my forever favorite duo, ( I'm just promoting it here go watch it if u haven't yet!) i remembered TayNew and wanted to see what's going on with em and searched them on yt

AND GUESS WHAT THE THAI ADAPTION OF ONE OF MY FAV JAPANESE BLS IS HAPPENING STARRING TAYNEW!!! I instantly watched the trailer and yk what I fell so in love with em. Then i watched the pilot trailer and the 3 OSTs. I really wanted to watch it but it wasn't available in yt ( which is a shame ) So i found it on a telegram channel and started watching Cherry Magic. YK what my mental health is not in a good state since then. I'm literally blushing, screaming, giggling and kicking my feet while watching it and even when i repeat a scene it feels like watching it for the first time.

They have changed the plot a bit I must say this version is way better. The chemistry between Tay and New is insane y'all. I never knew they were this cute together, Both of them literally did justice to their characters. This is very unlikely of GMMTV but they did so well with this series. Every scene is so beautiful. JintaMin and RockPai are also so freaking cute. I'm so hooked up with this series. This really showed the real chemistry between TayNew ngl. I really can't say goodbye to this today. Please give us a season 2 or a special ep or something , anything !!!

update : That was the most beautiful ending ever. I'm crying so bad I'm gonna miss them so much. No doubt, THIS IS MY ABSOULUTE FAVOURITE BL SERIES. No other series has ever made me feel this happy istg.

The proposing scene was so fvcking adorable . I was too into that i literally stood up and danced. It's a shame that i couldn't scream loud {cuz it's literally 3 am rn] And the way Karan cried when his parents accepted them. I was crying with him too. Karan is the greenest flag ever. Tay did a great job. And New is the cutest ever. The way he portrayed those expressions of Achi made him look cuter, I just wanna put him in my pocket. How tf is he 31?? He's literally 3 years old.

The ending was perfect. The way they showed how all of the three couples at the end was so cute {p' Duj and the boss too} AND THE JINTAMIN SCENE WITH JUNIOR'S COVER WAS EVERYTHING. Bro there's literally nothing that disappointed me on Cherry Magic. The only thing i want rn is another season!! and ik we all need a junior x mark series. please let that happen too. I wanna gatekeep this as much as i want to tell everyone to watch it. Thank u GMMTV and P'X for this wonderful series. I'm gonna be a polca forever !!!

I RECOMMENED THIS TO EVERYONE!!! PLEASE DO WATCH IT IF U WANT THERAPY FOR YOUR SINGLE LONELY SOUL😭

Worth to watch?

Totally yes, this adaption really hits different. The story is more relate-able to life, i love their chemistry on this series, and also the cinematography are so beautiful, soft and light to watch.

But for the storyline sometimes become slow and fast? At the same time, referring to the manga. There is some scene that don't really needed.

Side couple r cure too, i love SingJan as RockPai, they're really made the series more sweet at work. JintaMin and Madam Noi ofc the dramatic one, Jinta(Tsuge) character it's little bit different, but no worries.

Yeahhh so far soo good.

8-11 already, tmr it's the final ep and i can't wait for that. I wish te marriage become true, it will be a good ending FOR REAL.

(+) Anw as a manga reader, there is too much improve from the original story, i feel like this version is good but there is something missing, like a LOT. Is it too hard to make the series a lil bit close to the manga? Some part is really waste time, we can get something better if they don't make it longer and nonsense (ep 7&10 is good, but sorry...) And yeah gmmtv series ending always become rush.

BUT I LOVEEE THIS SERIES SO MUCHHH I LOVE TAYNEW, i wish after this we can see them in another BL series, with a good story and character. This series got 1M on trends, why not??

(+) I'm here after watching the final EP, as i said before the ending of gmmtv's story always came too fast, there is so many scene that need to be fullfiled. If they don't waste many screen time maybe they could make the ending better, i really want to see KaranAchi struggling before the marriage, it will be good if i could see it. BECAUSE THAT WAS MORE IMPORTANT, you know???

But yeah it's okay, still worth, still good, their chemistry are so good, they can bring the butterfly effect on viewers. I'M SO MELTING ON EVERY SCENE OF KARANACHI. Y'all should see the details of every scene, there is much of soft touchy, taynew ate this, so natural.

FINALLY HERE I'M SO SAAAAD, WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT WEEK??? WITHOUT CHERRY MAGIC TH???????

My absolute fav! ?✨️

oh how i love karan achi, they are the best boyfriends i swear i never knew i could love some characters this much. taynew really did insanely great with acting, they were doubted when cmth was announced but oh well.. look at all the ppl that are complimenting them. this series really gave me all the happiness that i haven't felt in the previous year, i was smiling ear to ear throughout all the eps. i also learned a lot about a true relationship, it was so beautiful seeing karan achi learn from each other & doing everything even ready to sacrifice their job ah.. i yearn for love like this. i also really like minjinta and rockpai they were adorable. the only disappointment is that its restricted everywhere except thai, even after all these issues(a long wait, copyright, geoblock, premium access) cherry magic th is so highly supported by the fans. trending worldwide and reaching more than 1M posts is so insane love that for polcas. i genuinely wanna thank p'x and all the cast and crew to bring this magical series to us. lots of love to taynew <3 AND karanachi ♡

Um romance lindo e aconchegante

Esse bl é lindo, fofo, descontraído e aconchegante!
Adorei acompanhar ele, achei que ficou uma ótima adaptação do mangá.
O bl é super leve e confortável de se assistir. Retrata um relacionamento entre dois homens adultos que é completamente saudável e doce, onde os dois se amam do seu jeito, respeitam e confiam um no outro. Foi lindo acompanhar o amor deles se aflorando a cada episódio.
Adorei os casais secundários também, os dois foram muito lindos e divertidos.
A atuação de todos estava perfeita, não achei que tenha ficado nada a desejar.
A cinematografia também ficou muito linda e leve.
Recomendo mt, é uma história muito divertida e com romances muito bonitos de se assistir.

An Intriguing Adaptation with a Stellar Casting

I pondered endlessly on how to best handle this review. Should I make a detailed comparison between the Thai and the Japanese versions? Should I compare the acting calibers of the main pairings in both versions? And ultimately, which version was better?


Seemingly confused and baffled by these questions, I realized that the best option was to review this show as a separate entity. Adapted from the manga series “Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!” (30歳まで童貞だと魔法使いになれるらしい) by Toyota Yuu (豊田悠), the Thai version is a rustic adaptation of the original work (be warned, it isn’t a remade version of the Japanese adaptation). As such, it has a flavor of it’s own and needs to be savored as the main course and not a side dish. When I first saw the official trailer starring Tay Tawan & New Thitipoom, I was slightly apprehensive. Having watched them play the main lead in “Dark Blue Kiss”, I knew they have a phenomenal chemistry. As veteran actors, you can’t condemn their acting skills. My worries were related to the fact that I absolutely loved the Japanese version. Akaso Eiji and Machida Keita left a memorable impression in my mind, and I was unsure if TayNew could recreate the same magic. Let’s address the elephant in the room as we talk about the other pairings as well!

What did I just watch?

I heard so much about this show that I got really excited and I wish I didn't. I don't know what's up with this GMM shows where nothing happens! Like these are turning into bromances. I'm not saying I need every show to be full of NC scenes but Jesus could we maybe get some hand holding and a good cuddle? Like there is no romance there what do ever! I'm new to the whole TayNew couple and they seem like they should have some good chemistry but this show is just... I don't know is it the story or the script that's bad? Is the Japanese version better newscaster I'm serious disappointed to the point in going to have to go watch one of my comfort shows to get over the disappointment. I was so in the mood for a good romantic BL but I got nothing. Makes me afraid to watch the new OffGun series. What is GMM doing!?!?

Overall reveiw -cherry magic

Cherry magic drama are overall good. I am consider acting, The chemistry of Achi and Karan characters is a good mix up. The first parts felt a bit boring, but then it ended very successfully. The story was perfect effect, video quality was outstanding level. Simply cinematography was at the same level. The flow of emotions between Pai and Rock showed well in the story. But Min and Jinta's characters were not enough according to me. My feeling is that Jinta's character acting in some places interfered with the flavor of the story. As a fantasy story, the story can be viewed without any stress.

A must watch if you are interested in a stable build of a Love story

A thai adaptation to the manga CherryMagic 30yrs of virginity.. i love how they've truely adapted thru the manga without much alternation to the actual story. I loved how the story of Karan & Achi started from being hidden crush of each other to finally being in a relationship. I love how Karan has a crush over Achi for so many yrs yet waits paitently for Achi to accept his love. He won't give up on Achi but won't force him either. Achi being shy timid guy can't imagine Karan the smart sexy top employee of the company to have a crush on him ... has finally accepted his love. I know it took them 9 episodes to finally kiss but the wait was worth it. TAYNEW absolutely brought in all of their feelings and emotions ! Brilliant !!!
