The Miracle of Teddy Bear (2022)

Good series over all.

I loved this series and felt like the ending was very mature and realistic to the plot. The series was well acted and the story was amazing. The idea was super unique and refreshing. The plot on the character were amazing too and explored to their full potential. It wasn't just characters with no backstory.

Every character had a mature act around situations which made it bareable to watch. The ending was very mature like I said, and was something I think had to be done to make a more realistic ending to things, As Tofu was mare but a teddy bear.

10/10 would recommend.

The torture of poor miracle Teddy Bear

**Lots and lots of spoilers and frustration**

Okay. here I go. This Is going to be a little bit wordy, so I apologize in advance lol

This is not your average BL! I give major props for being different and refreshing....it's not a common story with the usual BL stigma and topic, that alone made me like this series more. Oh, and sorry friends.....barely any PDA here. It's supposed to be a more "sweet" BL. However, there were a few things I couldn't get over after finishing all 16 episodes.

First, I had a problem with Nut's behavior and how he treated the SWEETEST boy ever!! I know he grew up all fucked up because of his dad's crazy macho bullshit and his mom's lack of a fucking spine, but that doesn't give ANYBODY the right to be shitty! It took Nut way too long to treat Tofu the way he deserved from day 1. And don't even get me started that he didn't wait for Tofu's body to be cold and he was already back with Tarn. Like, whaaatt??? Really?? I am sorry, but if I was in his shoes I could NEVER switch like that. The way that he immediately went to see Tarn in the hospital and had the internal monolog "Yes, I still love and miss him" made my skin crawl. Tofu LITERALLY gave up his life and happiness for YOU my guy and that's how you repay him? Cold.

Second, after poor Tofu waking up IN A BURNING COFFIN and then (like that wasn't straight-up evil enough) having to watch the love of his existence immediately start a relationship (and marriage, I guess *internal screaming*) with Tarn is EVIL!!! Why do that to him? By the end, he had feelings like a regular person. That is pure torture to a great guy. He should not have returned "awaken"....just the teddy would be fine. If he could have returned just for that scene where he talked with Nut would've been great too. Keep the "miracle" alive....but him being fully aware of himself and watching Nut moving on is just incredibly sad. Left a bitter taste in my mouth. I wish we could've kept the sweetness.

I did enjoy the series and the cast's performance. As you guys could tell, I had my fair share of problems lolol but it was good! Not everything has to have a happy or fair ending.....but to me, Tofu's ending was so evil. I can't forgive or forget! That's why my score wasn't higher.

Thanks for reading me rant :)

SO so very wondeful

This is a BL drama but also so much more. It is beautifully written and the plot has just enough twists to keep you interested but not so many as to wear your enjoyment out.
It is essentially a fairy tale - but fairy tales can still deliver strong messages and be wondrous at the same time.
The actors are well cast and the actors perform very well together making their characters develop well. As always the supporting cast are weak and overly given to playing pantomime in a way you see in all Thai and Korean drama. I know that almost seems a cultural requirement but I do wish that directors would move on from this. Asian drama has moved a long way forward in the last few years and this drama shows that.
The story is in some part based on the novella "The Little Prince" but is not just a reworking. In many ways the most recognisable aspect it draws from the novella is with the insights it gives to the human condition, on life and death, love and obsession, dreams and reality.
From the outset it is clear that the ending was going to be a difficult task and by the time we got to the last episode I nearly stopped watching as I couldn't 'bear' the story to end as I feared it would. I am glad I stayed the course as the ending is quite superb and beautifully done.
It is truly the best show I have watched all year. Thank you so much.

Beautiful and deep

If love, unblemished with ego, jealousy, and attachment, was to come alive as a person, they would be like Tofu I guess ....<3

What an absolutely beautiful and deep series this is...while many other Thail BL series have hinged on magic realism, this seems to have taken it to another level altogether. 16 episodes with an average duration of 1.5 hours, that is a whole day/24 hours, and yet, I binge-watched it.

Should you watch it? The short answer is YES. It has avoided many usual tropes and pitfalls of Thai BLs. Hats off to the team that they stuck to their guts to keep the episodes at 1.5 hours length and refused to cut corners, which helped with a layered and nuanced portrayal of sensitive and difficult issues such as mental health, childhood trauma, toxic social-cultural traps that many parents forced their children through, and so on....

It also beautifully captures how we get caught up in our own lies, even with the best intentions, how jealousy, attachments and inner insecurities stop us from being our authentic selves and hurt everyone in the process.....and how love (Tofu personifies love to me in this series) is the only force that can ultimately brings us towards closure and peace, so that we can look towards the future with some hope and happiness.....

Off course I also have my axe to grind with the ending, not because how it ended, but more for the pace of it. It felt completely rushed at the end without giving the characters and viewers some time to grieve and adjust to Tofu's storyline, and also find some closure before being able to 'move on' and look to the future with hope....I just don't get why the team, after making such long episodes without cutting corners, had to rush through the ending...I'm wondering if they faced the same pressures as Nut's boss in the series, Juea.

It would have been much better to show a break in the storyline like '2 years later' or '3 years later' before showing how the characters moved on with their lives....that would have given Nut, Na and all others a reasonably acceptable time to grieve Tofu (yes, the Teddy's presence notwithstanding) ...without that closure curve, it seems like all the people who were so deeply touched by Tofu and his love, just quickly went past him and went on with their lives...which is plain disrespectful and insensitive to a character who was as important as Tofu.... and that is why it seems so painful and unacceptable for most of us, I believe...it would have been also good to spare 5-6 minutes for the Saen-Jan storyline to show what happened to them afterwards....If not for these gaps, this series would have figured in my list of Top 5 Thai BLs so far, but because of this issue it will only do so in the top 10.

Nevertheless, I maintain that this is an absolutely beautifully crafted series ...the only other Thai BL series that I think comes close to talking sensibly about such difficult issues is probably '180 degrees longitude passes through us', and 'Khun Chai', though both of them only scratched at the surface, while this series goes deep and is thus a cathartic experience. It somehow reminded me of the series '13 reasons why' which also dealt with difficult subjects of mental health, jealousy, suicide, guilt, trauma, power and the likes, though it was way more triggering and raw...

Kudos and a BIG THANK YOU to the entire cast, crew and team for making this series. Definitely recommended!

WTFITS

Ok ok so I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea what I was expecting and I'm not sure if I found it. I'm giving this a solid 7 because it had me f***ed up on several occasions with good, bad and ugly emotions. lol
The MC aggravated me quite frequently with his overreacting and unnecessary outbursts of anger about EVERYTHING. I don't think this series needed 16eps/ 1hr 1/2 long eps to get it's point across. It got a little boring in the middle and seemed to continue yet not progress.
Overall this isn't the series for you if you want lots of intimacy. This isn't just about romance or even the struggles for LGBTQ+ people in the world. It's about cherishing all loved ones, forgiving others and most importantly, learning to love yourself. You're not alone and there's more to life than what you're forced to believe or see.
Side note: Legit I spent most of this series asking myself : "What The F*** Is This $***?!"
Enjoy...

My Thoughts about The Miracle of Teddy bear. I am here to express all my thoughts on this series. This series is good because it tackles about LGBTQ, Mother's Love, Alzheimer's Disease and About Thailand's Justice System. I learned a lot in this series. One of the best and Unique BL series this 2022. They set the standard !. We all overthink. Miracle happens for a reason. We can't blame Tofu's decision in the end. Thanks to the cast because I was carried away by their acting. They deserve an award.
This series is good.
I'll rate it 9/10 Why 9 ?. The ending is a bit sad and a plot hole like what happened to Jan? She should also be imprisoned. It reminds me of "Not Me" the series of OFFGUN because that's how the Justice System of Thailand is, Nothing is above the Law but if you have money and power that's what will happen. TRD (Saen's boss) should be jailed.
I also want to witness Prib and the woman she will meet. Ayiieeee. And more exposure to Song and Gen. We're expecting Season 2. Petition that The Miracle of Teddy bear will have Season 2 because I know not everyone is satisfied with the ending. Mixed emotions.
???? Sana all may Tofu in real life? ♥ ️

A good story with bad ending

After finished watching, I now know why it's famous like some other bl dramas eventhough it's much more better than them. The ending sucked. They ruined everything at last

ACTING : All the actors done a fabulous job. I personally like the one who portrayed tofu/neung. Difference in Facial expressions, body language, every tiny details he showed between tofu and neung is truly remarkable.

Story : The story is somewhat messed up although it had so much potential as a concept. So many flaws and loopholes being justified throughout the show
First one is they made tofu look like neung is not a necessary but they made it so they could show a mystery for a couple episodes.
Tofu having his own memory and heart full of feelings just to get used and thrown out.
Nut's father expecting love from his wife. He clearly married her knowing she doesn't love him and it's benefits in his life. He just simply coveted his brother's love by scheming.
As for Nut, it's my first time I ended up hating a protagonist. (The actor did an amazing job) The character is a big Red Flag. If he really loved and couldn't move on from first love, he should have searched for him until he finds him. Since there is no one stopping him from doing so. His uncle did the extreme so that the woman he loved and her child could live the way they like. Even after tofu's actions start remind him, he didn't thought of finding him once. He just wanted a replacement for tarn and thrown away tofu once again he has tarn. ?
I was furious watching the ending. They should have let tofu die. They made tofu watch nut and tarn romance in front of him right after he died.
Only the women's characters are justifying regardless of whether they are good are bad. They are true to themselves.

PRODUCTION : I think the production team should have done a better job. Each episode has 1 and 1/2 an hour running time. But it's like watching watching it in 0.5x speed totally annoying.

I liked the drama only until ep 12. A potential story has been wasted I believe.

What did just happened??!!!

Is it only me who think this series justifies abusing in the name of love??!
The series is realistic, and tackle many dark sides of life, triggering motions and scars that embed inside many of us. But still It hit me hard when tofu said ( you can hit me if you mad at me.. in episode 10)
I mean how sad it is to get used to be abused by your love and justify it in the name of love. I cried badly in this scene. The entire series I see nut only as immature jerk who hide behind his difficulties and make it an excuse to hurt every single one around him.. he shout, hits, punch, abuse, take advantage on every single one around him in some way.
That one doomed teddy bear? he is like how old. 3 month ? His existence is miserable an any aspect. How come he is so mature snd wise more than that jerk who he is in love of him.

And this cruel ending.. the writer should’ve let him just die for good instead of bringing him back to continue his misery and watching his love and his love’s ex making out in front of him.. not only this, the writer made him happy to watch them.. I mean seriously???

The series is good and well done in general but it could be better.

One last thing? where is my sweetheart song and gen kiss , we deserved one kiss from you mr writer ?you better make it for us in special episode
