Cherry Magic Thailand (2023)

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!

What did I just watch?

I heard so much about this show that I got really excited and I wish I didn't. I don't know what's up with this GMM shows where nothing happens! Like these are turning into bromances. I'm not saying I need every show to be full of NC scenes but Jesus could we maybe get some hand holding and a good cuddle? Like there is no romance there what do ever! I'm new to the whole TayNew couple and they seem like they should have some good chemistry but this show is just... I don't know is it the story or the script that's bad? Is the Japanese version better newscaster I'm serious disappointed to the point in going to have to go watch one of my comfort shows to get over the disappointment. I was so in the mood for a good romantic BL but I got nothing. Makes me afraid to watch the new OffGun series. What is GMM doing!?!?

The differences between this and the Japanese original will make it or break it for you

Disclaimer: the Japanese drama is not just one of my all time favourite BL; it's an all time favourite for any TV series. I am hugely biased, I can't pretend otherwise.

That said, I think this ended up being perfectly calibrated for the GMMTV audience. It has leads with sweet chemistry, plenty of opportunities to use the platform to push Thai culture to the forefront, and as many boxes of Lactosoy as possible. The storybeats are similar but not exact to the manga and Jdrama, and this is enormously sweet and suited to comfort watching. I can see why many people prefer it.

But, like, go watch the original too.

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 POLCASAN 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 !♥♥♥

A Breath of Fresh Air and a Testament to What it means to be a Remake

Cherry Magic TH stands on its own-- carrying its own charm and adding its own flavor to an already loved series/story. The story of Karan and Achi spans beyond them as the main couple-- it includes all the people important to them, surrounding them with support and love.
I want to list all the good things this series holds, but to summarize, I will say this: Every character is important, every scene is a build up and the love of these two is well fleshed out.
I could not have asked for a better version, and this was so wonderfully done with respect to its original material. And although I found the second main couple (Jinta and Min) in need of improvement for their story, overall this series is top notch. They tackled so many topics respectfully, whether it be about the self, the relationship, the friendship, the family, communication and so on, and so on. And the hopeful theme left by the end is one we wish to strive for-- a world in which our purest magic is to love wholeheartedly.

Very thankful for this series. Kudos to the cast-- especially to Tay and New who has shone brightly. Kudos to the writers, to the director and to everyone who has anything to do with this. Truly a breath of fresh air.

Sweet and inspiring

I adored almost everything about this show. Karan and Achi were adorable, and really cute together. I loved the office and all the characters there. This adaption really focused on themes like hard-work, pursuing your dreams, overcoming challenges, found-family, personal-development... that kinda thing. Very inspiring messages.

I confess, though, I struggled with the Jinta/Min storyline. It was better than the Japanese adaption (IMO) and there was a lot to love about it (the message was very inspiring) but the comedy really, really wasn't to my taste. AT ALL!! But that was also my issue with the Jinta/Min storyline in the Japanese adaption so I think it's a problem I have with the source material not the adaptions (I haven't read the original).

As for what I thought of it as an adaption... I really loved that it was slightly different from the Japanese adaption. I think each version of a story SHOULD be different, otherwise there's no point having different versions, and it's fun seeing how different parts of the story are interpreted or presented.

Overall, I really enjoyed it.

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!!!!
