Cherry Magic (2023)

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 ♡

Poor adaptation with bad casting

Let me start with saying I love TayNew! I have been their fan since 'Dark Blue Kiss'. With that said I still think this series would have deserved better care when casting. GMM just casually casts their most popular ships in anything and everything just to boost the number of viewers. I can look past that. I eat it up most of the time. New as Achi however was more than ridiculous! Putting a man like New (phisically big and muscular) in a drama where the main is continuously described as weak, small and even scrawny... don't even get me started. They could have at least erased those scenes from the script!
The story was the same old we all know from the manga and from the Japanese adaptation, except it was doubled in lenght. The Japanese adaptation was not a masterpiece either but to make it two times longer? A crime against humanity really. Absolutely no story, bad casting and what was it with repeatedly going in Japanese direction?
Big no from me!

LOVE the first half, but slowly fizzles out........Still a lovely drama!

Subjective Gut Rating: 8.25

What a lovely Thai adaptation of the manga, and it has big shoes to fill after the beloved Japanese adaptation. I saw the Japanese drama a few years ago, and honestly, I don’t remember much. The only thing I remember was how awkward and shy Adachi was.

The early episodes of “Cherry Magic” gave me very positive vibes. It feels very Japanese and very Thai at the same time. I was in love with the first half of the drama. I love Achi more than Japanese Adachi. Achi is shy and introverted but not overly, and definitely, not as awkward as Adachi. Achi actually feels like a normal person. Karan is just as lovely as his Japanese counterpart. He’s a total Mr. Green Flag. But I do find Machida Keita more handsome and I like the more confident version of his character. Karan is sweeter, softer, more sensitive and more smitten.

The sweet, shy and adorable scenes of Karan and Achi in the first half of the drama before they officially got together was so good that I thought I might rate this a 9.0, if it continues on. I cried my eyes out during Karan’s confession scene by the boat, and the subsequent episode telling us all that he’s done for Achi behind-the-scene. My heart hurts for Karan.

Unfortunately, once the leads officially got together, the cringe started. The Japanese vibe slowly disappears and it’s all Thai cringe of sweet nothings. In a way, Karan is very cute but just a little too much for my taste. He’s just too smitten with Achi! I like the more mature and a little shyer version of Karan in the first half.

All the supporting characters are lovely and they don’t take away from the main leads. I find Rock more likable than the Japanese Rokkaku Yuta. Pai is a kickass female character and I love her shipping the leads and being the voice of reason. Min and Jinta are fine but not amazing. In the end, I somewhat lost interest in the idol storyline, the romance between Jinta and Min, and even the romance between Rock and Pai. I feel that these minor plots are not written well and not developed evenly throughout the drama.

Although the ending is lovely and more complete than the Japanese version, it felt rushed to me. A lot happened in the last episode but everything resolves and ends without much hassle.

In the end, I do recommend this lovely drama and I had an enjoyable time. I was hoping I would love this from start to finish, but that didn’t happen. At least we got good kisses and great chemistry!

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😭

I didn't watched the Japanese version nor did I watch the anime version; thought I plan on watching the anime soon. Hence, I have nothing to compare it too for this review.

Overall I actually adore this drama. The character development between Karan & Achi is just top notch! Oh to have someone looking out for you for so many years. So sweet.

When Achi mustered all his courage to accept his boss's challenge and step out of his comfort zone, it made me reflect on my own life choices and consider whether I should also push myself to face new challenges ~ but it merely considering 5555

However, from my POV, the second lead couple - Achi's bestie and the newly debut kid; is too cringe. At first I thought I would my like them, but the longer they are together, their chemistry is just meh ~

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!
