Cherry Magic (2023)

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!

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 !!!

A MAGICAL DREAM COME TRUE FOR A POLCA LIKE ME♥

Everything is Magic Indeed !
I don't know where to start to be honest but let me just say that this is a dream come true drama for every POLCA or POLCASAN in the world, and as of me, I cried just seeing Tay Tawan and New, playing the role of having a romantic feeling for each other, coz I have been watching them on some shows as a friend and I dreamed seeing them as a couple ! and even I know it was just a fiction, it was just a drama, this people didn't know how happy I was watching this, It's like I am having a moment on the world of TayNew or Karan Achi and this was the first time as far as I remembered of me crying out of happiness on my watching of a drama ! like after watching this drama, I didn't know what to do with my life anymore, I just wanted to stay in the world of Karan and Achi , and it's like after seeing this drama I didn't want to watch any drama anymore coz it feels like no one could ever beat this drama out there for me, and of all the drama's I have watched this seems like the finisher, like what more out there is to watch ? Cherry Magic chanted a spell in the drama world and finished it all ! This drama is created indeed for every Polca , forget the story, forget the characters Tay and New kissing , loving each other ! it was heaven for a Polcasan like me and I believe it is the same with every Polcasan out there in the world ! I am crying, so this is what it feels like to watch a drama that you ever dreamed watching and a drama that you have waited for so long, coz I know every Polcasan out there knew how long we all have waited for this to come ! this is just so special and magical and memorable to us, I can even hear the OST in my head RN!
About the Story,
In my opinion and experience watching this, this version completed what the Japanese version lacked, specially in romance, and in every remarkable parts or scenes of the story itself, they gave it a different outcome, we cannot really compare the Japanese and this one because they are totally different for me but they both gave a beautiful outcome, story and vibe, in Japanese I had this feeling like I am expecting more romantic things that Adachi and Kurosawa will do but ended up like , oh that's it? okay! but Karan and Achi filled the story with romance and I literally had butterflies in my stomach, love overflowed from their hearts to the screen that made me cry so much. Only what the Japanese excelled more here for me is the weight of the scene, I don't know how to explain it but Thailand is more light and fluffy than of Japanese but over all different in every way and both beautiful adaptations
This series as I have mentioned is so light and fluffy and very easy to understand, it was quite predictable in some parts but since it was elaborated differently it was really good also ! I was actually waiting for the scene where Adachi got sick and Kurosawa carried him and brought him home here coz that is one of my most unforgettable scenes of the Japan version but they changed it, it still okay since I was really impressed how they elaborated every small things that Karan was doing for Achi that his love for Achi over flowed in my heart, in this adaptation it's like all we ever have to do is to enjoy the lovey Dovey TayNew, believe me because I was too focused and too entertained to Tay and New playing this, I never realized I watched almost all the episodes !
They added some characters here, it was okay for me coz if some of the watchers over there who gets tired easily of the faces of the leads , those added characters and side couples were a great balancer, not really a fan of Pai and Rock but they were so cute ! Pai as the main shipper, Rock as the innocent cute newbie , and P'Duj ! love her , I also love Jinta and MIn here, Jinta did really a great job, super nice acting, he is the best actor here, he was full of emotions and a fluffy person ! indeed Min is his good match. New Thitipom gave a new image of Adachi for me, Adachi of Japan is like he looks dumb but is a very helpful and passionate person, but here Achi was like a very delicate, passionate also, and someone who is a smart and capable person that needs only a little push--thing that Karan did to him !
My favorite parts are when Achi was sent to a certain place to be a representative or manager of the newly opened branch of the company, when he was on video call with Karan, asking him for advice how to manage people, and then asked Karan to sing for him, and then he fell asleep, for me this scene was everything, I was touched, I cried and had to stop for a while from watching to cope up with that, I believe that was on ep 11, and so many more ! love the cheek kisses, the shoulder kisses ! and the double proposal ! the wedding ! such a total package of a romantic love story
This drama is not the usual, it set up a high standard for me, now I don't even know what to watch, like, is there still drama out there that can make me feel happier than this drama ? from the OST that is my playlist since it was released, the production, the cinematography, I can clearly say that people behind this drama prepared well and enough, loved the screen writing, I was really impressed also that they also used the sound effects of the Japanese version here when Karan and Achi had an argument, very nice ! and now I officially declare and announce that this drama will be my Favorite BL in the world no one will ever and nothing will ever over take it, unless There will be another BL of Tay and New will be released that is more romantic and beautiful as this, but as of now, this is my favorite of all in the world !
All in all it indeed magical ! As I have mentioned, I can really think this is literally made for every Polca, so I want to thank the people behind this drama specially Taynew, they never fail to make me happy, I was honestly in a lay low of my fanning for them but I still held them in my heart, I did not regret doing it because what I hoped as wished during the Divorce era happened now and now I don't know where can I even get into fanning over them but I'll just enjoy every moment of it. So yeah the Drama was a Magical adaptation, the story fit well to the numbers of episodes it was complete from dating to marrying , not rushed , understandable, not too trying hard, beautiful in its own way, I would probably re watch it many times in my life , and I will be joining with what Phi New Thitipom wished, it is that I hope also that every people in the world will watch Cherry Magic !♥♥♥

Fun for in between

I liked it.
This drama resembles a pure and healthy relationship. It is neither rushed nor unrealistic. Even though I couldn't adapt to the storyline at first and thought that the idea of a mind reading power was quite weird, I'm glad that I continued. The story isn't complicated and it is perfect for watching in between all the other currently airing dramas. Though I hadn't seen any of the actors, except for Mark (btw he's great), in any other series they were able to convince me.
I really recommend it:)

Also the cuddle scenes were extremely cute<333 and not repetitive:)

Love for all!!

As someone who has watched the Japanese series recently, as in finishing it right when this started airing, this series is a watch I couldn't miss out on!!

As the anime and Thai adaptations were being released at the same time, GMMTV had to put the series for Thai viewers only. But did that stop some of us? NO. I watched this on so many websites that I've lost count. I WANTED TO SEE TAYNEW!!! I finished watching the JP version, started the anime, and started this all at the same time. It felt like I had deja vu.. BUT That's okay because this story may just be a favorite of mine.

This story portrays Achi, a average office worker, who suddenly gains the power of mind reading with any physical contact at the age of 30. Karan, someone born with everything, right? Except being able to make the one he loves, fall for him. Until.. Achi bumps into Karan and suddenly hears his thoughts. Karan, the best worker, most handsome, most popular, is in love with him?

TayNew will never disappoint me honestly. No matter of I've seen all of their series or not, they are the IT couple!!! There weren't many side characters that made me upset, surprisingly..

The side couple, Jinta and Min, are CUTIES!! I loved that couple in the Japanese one and I do in this one!! Mark (Min) is just a cutie overall and I'm glad to see him on screen. Although at times, just like in the JP ver, I had to take a moment before continuing the scene. Cringe but fun!!

This series overall was great, just like the Japanese series. If you need a wholesome love story, this is for you. I love TayNew and can't wait to see more series of them!!

P.S. the cat? CUTEST ONE OF ALL!!!!

Langweilig

Ich liebte die original Serie aus Japan und hatte hohe Erwartungen. Ich würde leider komplett enttäuscht.
Die Geschichte hat mich nicht gepackt. Die Hauptdarsteller auch das BL Nebenpärchen sind meiner Meinung nach schlecht besetzt und ihre Chemie gleich 0. Ich hatte echt Fremdschämen, besonders beim neben BL Pärchen beim anschauen. Das Schiff ist längst gesunken.... Das war leider ein schlechter Versuch das Hauptpaar wieder zu beleben. Schauspielerisch haben sie auch einen mittelmäßiges Ergebnis erzielt. Ich rate allen sich die Zeit zu sparen das anzuschauen. Es gibt 1000 Mal bessere BL Serien. Den Hype drum verstehe ich überhaupt nicht. Ja ich weiß ich werde dafür gehasst von den Fans aber so ist es nun Mal. In Dark blue kiss hatten sie eine hervorragende Leistung. Das war's aber auch schon.

¡Increíble y maravillosa adaptación!

(Voy a hacerla corta porque lo bueno si es breve es dos veces mejor.)

Como amante de la adaptación japonesa, vine a esta adaptación con dudas, miedo e incredulidad.
Me pone muy contenta el poder decirles que esta serie me pegó unos buenos cachetazos y me hizo ver que podían hacer una muy buena adaptación con cambios muy positivos, con música hecha para vibrar con las escenas, con personajes interpretados magistralmente por dos actores que tienen una química aplastante (y sonrisas cautivadoras) y, en general, con un amor y aprecio por una historia de amor simple y tan enorme a la vez.

No soy buena reseñando cosas, pero necesitaba expresar mi felicidad ahora que la serie terminó. Yo, por mí, que la serie durara toda la vida y no me cansaría de verla.
La voy a rever de seguro próximamente. ¡Es una joyita, sin dudarlo! Se ganó un lugar al lado de su contraparte nipona. No puedo decir que esta sea mejor que la otra versión, como así tampoco puedo decir que la versión japonesa sea mejor que esta. Ambas son muy buenas y tienen sus puntos positivos y (un poquito) negativos. Me siento como una madre, no puedo elegir entre uno y el otro porque ambos son especiales en mi corazón. No hay manera de elegir, si debo elegir algo, sería reverlas a las dos. Sí que sí. Todos los años, al menos 1 vez cada una. ¡Jajaja!

En conclusión, háganse el favor de ver esta serie. 100/10.

Serie que ame!!

vaya disfrute esta versión de Cherry Magic mucho mas que la japonesa, quizás sea opinión impopular en ese sentido, pero ame mucho la ejecución de esta y el desarrollo de los personajes y que profundizaron mas (en mi opinión) en algunas escenas que en su versión original, y como dije, ser opinión impopular, pero sin duda la ame.

Hace tiempo que quería volver a ver a actuar al TayNew, y se dio esta oportunidad con esta historia tan bella y la verdad es que no decepcionan, la química de estos dos actores me encanta.

Sobre la historia, ya la conocíamos, esta deriva de un manga y una serie japonesa y la verdad es la misma, lo único que se adecua al contexto cultural de Tailandia.

la volvería a ver? pues si, ame muchísimas esta versión, disfrute mucho, seguro sera de las series que vuelvo a ver.

La musica me gusto mucho, algunas ya estas en mi playlist.

Si amaron la japonesa pues disfrutaran esta y si no la han visto, pues no se que esperan, especialmente esta, en mi opinión es de lo mejor.
