The Miracle of Teddy Bear (2022)

Warm hearted Tofu beary

Every thing about this series is good. It you start watching it you feel like you are watching some Disney fairy tale! The visuals, ost and background music are amazing. Each character has their own preference and Even side characters are described nicely. This is not some lovey dovey BL or some random BL with NC or steamy kiss scenes! But you will regret if you don't watch this series! This series contains every thing and you can see a good chemistry between tofu and nut and also other couples! there are cute kiss scenes and a little more!
Because of this series, I started to assume again that non-living things too have life! During childhood, I used to talk with my Plush toys(teddybear & mickey mouse) and I always wished god to make them alive! Unfortunately they only listen to my words but can't express their feelings! This series has really brought my imagination back! I love this series very much!
This series is a BL which they took in thai lakorn style!
Ending is kinda sad but still satisfied with that ending! Tofu is back! Even though he can't talk /walk/eat/express his feelings anymore, still he is nut's favorite! This is not a random BL we watch but it is scripted in more creative way with perfect ending! Nut got his past love which he lost due to circumstances! Tofu remained as a miracle that occupied a place in everyone's heart surrounded by him! Everyone thinks that tofu died and it's a sad ending! but one thing we should know that tofu is a teddy bear from the start and he came to nut because of tatharn's yearning towards nut! So it's a good ending for tofu to became a teddy bear again! Tofu represented the true meaning of love. No matter what, Nut have tofu to count on and also in future tofu will be there cheering for nut. Here I liked the unconditional love of both tofu and tatharn, they both love nut deeply! Miracles do happen in every one's life and it's a gift from our devotion towards our work/loved ones/ our life! When we have an unwavering, unbreakable and unparalleled fondness and devotion for our loved one's then extraordinary events may occurs into our lives too! I wish everyone gets their own tofu into their lives!
Watch this series without thinking about ending, then you may not get hurt and will like the ending too!

This show is TOO MUCH

1. There's a lot of back plot that makes it hard to like the characters. After knowing the mom's history, I genuinely hate the mom's character. Like she's just terrible. I don't like watching stuff where I don't like the characters.
2. The show is too long, and a lot of the plot is highly unnecessary. 1.5 hrs and 16 episodes just killed me. I wanted to keep pushing through, but I just knew I could not.
3. The show had too much to say and needed to cut a lot of it out. Though I appreciate the activism in the show, there were too many points they wanted to make all on top of a fantasy plot about a teddy bear coming to life.
4. With Tofu being a teddy bear and all, he did not have to be as young as he was, and it kind of makes it weird. The age gap isn't unbearable when you look at Song's relationship, but because Tofu has that whole "you're my owner/master" it makes it weird. I'm not even one to be mad at age gaps, but that one wasn't necessary. Also, the fact that both of the couples are age gaps makes it weird.
There's more that I just won't get into too, but the show just has so many plot points and it's exhausting. It wasn't necessarily a bad show but when I don't like most of the characters and I feel overwhelmed by the plot, I just don't watch.

Profoundly Sad Tale

This is a difficult series to review. It is NOT entertaining and at times gets tripped up in its own minutia. There is no real love in this series. It is more pretend or school-boy fantasies of love. The main protagonist is unlikeable. The reason for my anxiety about this series is because of its glorification of abuse for the sake of love. No one is worthy of love who is abusive and to make matters worse, this series paints a picture that the victim is the one who is wrong. I know what it was trying to say but for me, it failed and I wept at all the overt and covert signs of emotional, physical and psychological abuse dispensed like candy in this series. Production is excellent and by no means am I implying the the actors/actress were bad. They were not and in fact there is some very good acting in this series. Its the message and how it was presented that is bothersome.
I could not re-watch this series again.

there's so much potential but...

This Bl series is a new type of series being produced in the BL industry. The Genre is definitely different from the usual genre of a bl series.

I love the storyline of this series, it tackles the story in the past and how it affects the present. There are lots of realizations and lessons that we can learn in this story. It depicts the situations of how society viewed the LGBT(especially being gay) in the past, and how it was tackled inside the house. Actually, this series shows how important parenting is and the gender roles, and stereotypes. Mother and son relationship, abuse, first love, family, and Miracle.

I have no problem with the casting and acting because they all gave an spectacular acting in each scenes they portray. I also love how they make things interesting because actually I never imagine what will happen next. The flow of mysteries is smoothly transitioned in each episode.

The thing that I've wished that they showed is what happen to the villains because they simply showed arresting because I will think that there is no justice in this series. There are so many things that I've wished that they paid attention to.

The Ending, mostly from all perspectives, was a sad ending. Personally, I don't like how they end this series. I have so much hope in this series. Well, I'm not saying that they should let tofu live, it's just that they should at least make a clear conclusion about nut, tatarn and tofu.

Writer and Director should consider the audience satisfaction especially at finale of of the series

To be honest a lot of us are not satisfied about the ending. The writer or director should consider the satisfaction of their audiences. Since its a fictional BL series tofu must be the endgame and the real miracle happen when tofu will get his second chance to become a human again and be with nut. Im disappointed at the part when Nut moved on so quickly about Tofu's death. When Tarn was back in his consciousness Nut should saying his closure since back then they dont broke up. About Tarn, since they have a past connection with Prib both of them should be the endgame. The finale is the downfall of this series because many audiences was dissatisfied and disappointed including me.

POOR WRITING

I dnt usually write review but man i regret going against my instinct n decided to watch this.
This drama was good at keeping me engaged,good looking characters n yes good acting i give it that but that's all .
M going to b brutally honest here ,i dint like this at all bcz it fooled me into thinking this is atlst going to b good mystery drama when i wasnt able to feel the chemistry between MLs.My reasons fr not liking it :
Firstly,i understand people suffer alot in life n their past influence their behaviour but does it give u the right to b immature n insult just anyone without thinking ? people suffer from many things much more harder than nut did but those tragedies help u gain perspective.His character was poorly written.but it doesnt matter much so i ignored it.
Secondly, mystery was just nonsense n even fantasy has realism in it but this dint,things never made much sense in last episode.
Thirdly,it's not BL it's a complete drama abt family n life with weak plot,it wasn't completely mystery,bl romance,slice of life ,politics n corruption.It was half assed in any case.
What pissed me off in real is my main reason , tofu 's become side character.I dnt care tht he disappeared in the end ,it was obvious but his existence was a mere life lesson bcz tell u why.
Would u let go of the killers who poison ur loved ones ryt in front of u whn u have such strong character n fond of accusing everyone without thinking?Nut did absolutely nothing,which is obvious that writer dint care much abt it ,this incident conflicted with nuts' character.
There was no conclusion fr corruption n politics either.Then nut says,i actually missed tatarn,it was obvious that tofu ,no matter how important he was,was just a side character.Nut just goes with flow ,his feelings cn easily shift from one person to another.It was completely nonsense ,i never felt emotional bcz it was way too draggy ,no chemistry between the ML ,tatarn n nut had good chemistry but less screen time.Nut n tofu's rship was pushed to b a romantic one but that felt one sided with no chemistry.

I was disappointed :((

First, the overall story was really awesome. I like how they picked up topics about the real LGBT in the country. Yes, international BL fans always see a dream-like story of same sex fell inlove and a happy ending. The story pointed that spot that still, there are people who are still conservative and traditional but it also includes how to educate people about LGBT.
Second, the actors were new and refreshing but they did a really good acting on this one. They did an amazing character on this. Though, many people got irritated with Nut, well, if you hate the character it means the actor is doing well. Despite that, i always get the point of view of the character which are the coming from and why they acted like that but on the latter episodes, i think the character of Nut is kinda annoying especially how he approached his mom. Overall, he did a great job. For Tufo (mi amigo <3), his character was very consistent from start to end. It is kinda annoying as well, but i know, that his only reason is to be loved and be accepted by Nut. I actually like his character at the latter part of the story as to how he confronted Jan and Saen . Overall , I feel like i wanted to be comforted by tofu, i need his hug. He did awesome overall.

Third, i will be honest, i just run the last episode to see what happened, until now, I haven't watched it as I know what happened to Tofu in the ending. Sorry, but I always do this especially if the series got me really hooked up. I cannot finish the end not because i do not like the ending but also I can't accept that it is the last one. Last time i did this was on Addicted Heroin. Probably, if I am ready I will finish it. Though i know that the ending was not an open ended story. I am still hoping for season 2. I want to see more.

a must see even if the ending is not satisfactory

First of all, I would like to make it clear that I recommend the series to everyone, even if it became more and more of an emotional roller coaster for me towards the end. At the end I was emotionally touched, sad, angry and frustrated because the ending was difficult for me to bear. This in advance.

The series starts rather nicely with some really successful comedy scenes (Tofu on an escalator for the first time or how Nut and Tofu are in the police station).

But the further you look, more and more drama elements are added and in the end it becomes a tragedy. I can't understand what many people see as bitter sweet, it simply filled me with sadness, the authors' resolution was a complete failure. I can't understand them.

Early in the series, there is a hint that Tofu's existence is linked to Tarn's, as Tofu faints and Tarn wakes up, but immediately falls back into a coma when Tofu wakes up.

This problem becomes more and more intense, so that when you watch the last episode you ask yourself more and more, how will this end, how does the series try to resolve this conflict.

The tension created in this way gripped me, but the solution that was then shown shocked and frustrated me. The ending is unsatisfactory in many ways.

Tofu becomes a teddy bear again, Tarn and Nut come together again and everyone praises what a good friend Tofu was and that everyone should have their tofu.

That would be understandable if Tofu was just someone who solved other people's problems. But tofu was more, he was the love of his life for Nut.

As Nut said, Tarn showed me the world, Tofu showed me the beauty of the world.

The series shows us a beautiful love between Tofu and Nut that simply doesn't deserve to end like this by murdering Tofu. Neither Tarn nor Tofu's rebirth as a teddy bear can replace her.

Nut will have a deep scar on his heart and soul for life, even though he may be able to live a happy life with Tarn. You don't forget your loved ones even if you move on with your life.

But here the script also makes a huge mistake, as we see how the love between Nut and Tofu develops and forms a wonderful couple (the scene in the cosmetics department where Na says, Tofu is also my son, the three of us are a family is adorable) , you can't find much depth about the love between Tarn and Nut.

It's just a first love and we talk about it because the first love is rarely the only and last one in life. What we see is a high school romance. A senior who has a relationship with a junior and supports him in a hostile environment and helps him to be at peace with himself and his homosexuality.

We see little deep love, more romantic infatuation, which is destroyed by a hostile environment.

After Nut ends the relationship because of his parents, not only the relationship but also all contact is ended. While it is said that Tarn never got over Nut, apart from one visit in 10 years, nothing happened.

And Nut once said that he wanted to see him again, to apologize for ending the relationship, but nothing more. But what prevented him from doing this within 10 years?

Tofu as a teddy bear acts not just as a loving reminder of a person who supported you he becomes the love of Nuts life.

Especially since the plot is structured in such a way that one can have doubts about how things would have turned out for the two of them as a couple. Tarn first studied far away in Chiang Mai and later went to Japan for years. How would the relationship have developed under these circumstances?

Ultimately, this is in contrast to the other statement that the aim is not to repair the past, but to move forward. But here the two take a step back and want to act as if they were meant to be forever. They try to correct the mistakes of the past instead of simply reconciling and keeping in their hearts the beauty of their time together.
I went into this a little longer because I wanted to show that this relationship is perceived more as a romantic first love than as the love of life.

Because Nut experienced this with Tofu, who for him was not only someone who solved his problems, but with whom he experienced the beauty of the world.

So what can I find in an ending in which he continues his life and finds new happiness. Tofu's murder will always haunt him. He has come to terms with it so that it is not an obstacle in life, but that doesn't mean that everything is good.

But I can't be happy about the ending for Tofu either. From a teddy bear who loves his owner like a child, he develops over the course of the series into a person who feels pain and suffering, but also joy and true love.

If the plot then wants us to believe that Tofu is happy with the situation, that is superficial and unbelievable.

Because at the beginning, as Tofu develops more and more into a human, he describes how happy he is that he doesn't just have to wait passively until Nut approaches him, but that he can now approach him himself and hug him or can even kiss.


How is he supposed to seriously cope with being relegated to the passive role of a teddy bear? Especially since bad things can happen in the future, what if Tarn cheats on Nut in front of Tofu and he just has to watch passively in the corner.

I feel like the writers didn't deal enough with grief and loss, which is also evident in Song and his father. I don't know how I would react if I saw someone who looked like my recently deceased father or older brother, who died with 13 years old.. But I couldn't feel much happiness about it, because a person is more than his looks. Nevertheless, this part was partly successful because I experienced the same thing as Song and experienced his pain of not being able to replace his brother. I almost had to cry here because even though it was almost 50 years ago, my soul is still hurt. Don't get me wrong, my parents never behaved like Song's father, but those feelings are just there, I couldn't give my parents grandchildren either.

The only winner of the ending is Tarn, he was able to win back Nut here at the end. Everyone else lost and that makes me angry, sad and frustrated. Maybe they were afraid a solution that would let Tofu stay human and still wake up Tarn would be too cheesy.

But the way the ending is now, they structured the plot poorly and didn't think enough about the feelings when you lose a loved one.

That's often the problem with series and films, they build up a tension that makes you excited for the end and then they offer such a poor solution that doesn't do justice to the previous tension.

So now I've gotten my shit off my chest, like I said, watch the series, despite the unsuccessful ending, the series moved me deeply and I probably wouldn't have written anything about it if it was crap.

I will definitely watch it again, the love story between Tofu and Nut is too good for that. You can fast forward to Sidecouple and maybe you won't watch the last episode during the review.

This Teddy Bear was more substance than fluff.

Don't be fooled by the cute trailer.
This series is MUCH deeper than it looks. it touches on a very wide variety of topics, including some very difficult ones, and it handles them very well.
My compliments to the writers because this series of interweaving plots had to be handled very carefully and they did an excellent job.
I gave the series a lower rewatch score because it isn't one I'll watch again myself. Several of the storylines hit home a bit too hard for me, I even had to take breaks while watching the show to collect my thoughts. But only very well written stories can have that kind of impact on us, in my opinion.

The acting is quite good, a few misfires in some ways, but not enough to impact the over all quality of the cast.

The music rarely got my attention other than the theme. So it wasn't a distraction or pulling focus from the show and I consider that a good thing.

Special effects were cartoonish at times but in a way that would suit the situation. No downsides to them once you got used to them. It was a tad jarring at first but it makes sense in the long run.

Overall, this series could be a hard watch for some people with a more personal connection to some of the plotlines, but it is still a very good series and I'm glad I watched it.
