Cherry Magic (2023)

The chemistry is no joke!!

Meskipun saya adalah penggemar taynew, saya akan lebih merekomendasikan series ini daripada series mereka yang sebelumnya. Mengikuti alur cerita manganya, Adachi digambarkan sebagai sosok yang kikuk namun menggemaskan disaat yang sama, sedangkan Kurosawa digambarkan sebagai Mr. Perfect all rounder (setidaknya begitu saya menggambarkan mereka secara singkat). Kedua sosok yang saya pahami ini terealisasikan dengan baik oleh karakter Achi yang diperaankan oleh New Thitipoom dan Karan yang diperankan oleh Tay Tawan. Mereka berhasil membawakan kemistri yang sesuai untuk sosok yang mereka perankan. Menurut saya, mereka sangat berhasil menunjukkan bagaimana hubungan yang sehat dapatsaling membantu dan menopang satu sama lain beiringan. Di samping alur ceritanya yang memang ringan dan terselip unsur komedi di dalamnya, akting para aktor pendukung lainnya juga tidak kalah dengan pemeran utama. Saya sangat suka penggambaran karakter Jinta (teman Achi) yang menurut saya benar-benar sesuai dengan karakter dari manganya. Selain itu, karakter Pai (Fujisaki) yang ceria juga mencerminkan bagaimana agenda 'shipping' yang sangat manis. Seluruh aktor memiliki kemistri yang baik satu sama lainnya. Untuk lagu yang digunakan di series ini, saya telah mendengarnya berkali kali. Lagu yang dibuat benar-benar merepresentasikan bagaimana ini pikiran Achi dan Karan dari POV mereka masing-masing.

Jadi, kesimpulannya adalah series ini sangat saya rekomendasikan untuk ditonton, terlepas dari apakah Anda adalah seorang penggemar dari aktor yang terlibat atau bukan. Selamat menyaksikan, semoga Anda mendapatkan pengalaman menonton yang menyenangkan melalui series ini seperti yang saya rasakan 🥰

loved this much better than the original

I was super excited to see that there was going to be a remake of Cherry Magic, because unfortunately the original didn't really live up to the hype for me. I hoped that this remake would fix at least some of my issues with the original, and thankfully, it did!

I absolutely love the additions and changes made to the story. The last few episodes especially were so, so sweet--and truly indicate how much this show, and this couple of Karan and Achi, care about communication. The main couple are so tender and kind with each other; their many hugs and moments of hand-holding were genuinely nice to see. Of course I'm glad they kissed as well (one way they deviated from the Japanese LA), but the way they clung to each other was one of my favorite aspects of their relationship. My only complaint I suppose is that sometimes Achi felt a bit too stiff; I couldn't always feel the same level of care and emotion in him that I felt in Karan.

For the second ship, well. I hated Tsuge lmao so I was very pleasantly surprised that Jinta was one of my favorite characters! While I did like Jinta and Min together a lot, I feel like Jinta really shone. He had a lot of character growth and was consistently really funny, really crazy, and a pretty good friend and boyfriend. I was really happy for Min by the end, they seem like a great couple who actually have something to bond over and it was fun to see!

And finally, for Rock and Pai. While their relationship was really cute, I honestly wish it would have stayed just a friendship. However, what we did get with them was adorable so I'm not too mad. I really enjoyed how it seemed like they truly got along well and made each other happy.

Fuck Tanaka though, terrible boss.

Anyway, this show was super fun and sweet, I would definitely suggest giving it a try!

Without any expectation I liked it, I really do. I wished they released this series Globally

I've watched the Japan adaptation first so when I find out GMM going to make a remake honestly, I'm kinda worried. I'm I actually loved the japan adaptation even there was no much skinship or even kissing. So I tried to watch this and its turn out that... I LIKED THAI VERSION much than the japan version. Sorry I had to say this because I usually never put Thai BL into my top list. I guess this may kinda biased or reference. So here's why

- The Story : The Story is still enjoyable, I'm mean I'm glad they didn't change much storyline between two male leads. But I have to say the last 2 episodes was like fast paced(?) I know theres not much drama going on around that ep but it feels so rushed. But I still liked it tho and also theres no actuall villain in this story and just about Karan & Achi fighting for their love together makes it even more better IMO.

- Cast : Everyone did great but Hands down to Tawan/Karan he definetly carried the whole series, IDK his acting is just geunine especially when he is crying his heart out it was so real It makes me fall into him deeper.

- Music/Scoring : I personally think they use very good scoring in the very important scene, it just click and gosh it make the scene even more better than I expect, it was really beautiful scoring. Who ever incharge for that he deserve a raise.

I feel like this should be released globally this has huge potential much people should watch this, I really wish gmm would released this globally in the short time. If they did I'm definetly going to rewatch it all over again, I love to ride this series more than once 😊😊😍😍

Cute and Sweet Pairs

It is a heartwarming and beautiful depiction of how both Achi and Karan fall for each other because of their kindness. There is a warmth to the story’s well-placed humor. And a sincerity in the way it has begun to tell each character’s story. Newwiee is adorable as the fluffy Achi, who despite being a hard-working employee has low self-esteem issues. Tawan is equally good as the dashing Karan, with a blinding smile that has all the office girls weak in their knees. Most of the story unfolds in an office set-up, which was a refreshing change from all the college fluff such series are filled with.

P*RN WITHOUT ANY PLOT AND WITHOUT ANY FEELINGS OF LOVE

Thai ruined another great Japanese BL after Love Stage.
Those liking this trash are only obsessed stalker fans of those u*gly actors. All fans are happy that Japan intervened legally, now only waiting for this to be cancelled forever. And the actors can end in disgrace to ruin it.
U*ly actors that can't act at all, 0 chemistry, and only sly perverted kisses.
Karan is an obsessed stalker who wants to r*pe Achi, withou any fanboy love feelings from the original.
Achi is a party boy, without any antisocial skills from the original.
People are too blatant and ridiculous that can't even understand the difference between being antisocial and being shy.
second pair is so stupid i can't, without feelings from the original.
And those stupid perverted inserted touchy thing, totally unnecessary.
They say it's an adaptation of the manga, but they should explain why they cut half of the manga, without adapting it.
As always, Thai are too p*rn and too touchy to be able to adapt more delicate and pure BL like that. They have the flavor of lust and s*x, not the flavor of love.
I don't recommend this trashy thing to anyone, and i'm happy that every Japanese BL fans raised in protest.

Cute and funny watch just not didn’t meet my expectations

Cute and funny, a lot of fluff and 0 drama. But I personally couldn’t enjoy it as much because I kept comparing it the Japanese version (Cherry Maho) So even though it’s very different I will say some of the differences I noticed for those who want to know.

1. Characters
So first obviously we have to talk about the big change in personality of the characters, now of course not all had a big change but some of them did.
•Kurosawa-Karan
Karan is overall, a more expressive character mostly since we got to hear his crazy thoughts which clashed with his cool personality but I also feel we didn’t get to know the real Karan not the mind Karan. Also I felt that Karan wasn’t as much of a green flag, as much as people like to think, Karan was jealous but jealous really jealous and since he is more expressive it came across as invasive, Karan also was pretty obsessed with Achi by waiting outside his house and all, then him going to visit that much when Achi was working made the then climax of Achi loosing his powers loose the build up and longing
•Adachi-Achi
Achi generally just really didn’t struggle as much as Adachi did, If he ever really was which made me feel like he could’ve gotten with Karan even without the powers, also since the problems got solved very quickly which thanks to that we got less angst and drama but it also took a big part of the depth of the show.
•Side Couple(s)
The Thai version did a better job developing the side characters and their relationships considering they had more time to give them; like Jinta Min which was alright but at least 10 times better than the JP ver. I personally didn’t like the RockJoi pairing though it was just kinda not interesting and had too much screen time for my taste but considering the long time they had, it was kinda necessary


2. Main relationship progression
Weirdly even though this drama is longer it felt like things were going too quickly, KaranAchis relationship was very fast I didn’t feel like there was enough progression and time, which just made it feel fake, and as much as I like TayNews interactions and interviews (I have seen many) I don’t know if I felt like they were a believable relationship, and it definitely has a lot to do with the story and the pacing I mentioned before


Conclusion:
So even though I personally prefer the JP version I also feel this one is pretty different and overall not bad I would recommend it

boa versão

a primeira vez que eu vi o anúncio sobre o remake de cherry magic eu odiei, não fazia sentido nenhum pra mim um remake de uma obra que era relativamente recente. por este motivo, não acompanhei a série conforme foi saindo semanalmente, e lembro que ao tentar ver o primeiro episódio eu achei algo legal mas nada mais, então, não continuei a série. após ver muitas pessoas elogiando eu decidi dá uma nova chance e valeu a pena.

é complicado não fazer uma comparação entre as versões existentes mas honestamente eu acho que ambas tem seus pontos fortes e valem a pena serem assistidas. o casal principal é perfeito em ambas as versões, impossível não vibrar com eles. sobre os personagens secundários o da versão thai me agradou muito mais, são personagens mais divertidos e tem uma história mais interessante, o casal secundário me vez vibrar mais com eles (apesar de ter ficado decepcionado com o "apagamento" deles no final de série) de um modo geral eu recomendaria a versão japonesa primeiro, ela tem uma duração muito menor e conta muito bem a história, mas também recomendaria a versão thai pois ela conseguiu ser um bom remake.

Cherry magic TH is comfort!

So cherry magic TH is the first BL series I decided to watch after my long break from BLs. One day I just came across the poster and thought why not give it a chance and I am proud of my decision since then. I just loved the story like how it was simple and just completely magic. The positivity brings you comfort and it feels like to just go back again and again to watch it.
TayNew are the best. I am happy that they were the chosen ones to play the character of achi and karan and they just served the best chemistry. The actors they are... It is commendable. The emotions were getting reflected through their eyes. And after knowing that their real personalities are way too different from their characters, it is more fascinating to watch.
The series will make u happy, complete and fulfilled. If you are going through sadness, heartbreak and need that energy just watch it and it will make your heart light.
