This BL is extremely heart warning!
To be honest I watched it bc of the good reviews..and since it’s nowadays rare to find a worthy watch BL I gave it a try. Until the last episode I freaking enjoyed it.By my opinion the story could have been a little shorter, there were completely unnecessary scenes.
Also I understand it’s hard to act out a gay character, but it really could have more love full scenes.
Otherwise the acting was on point, they casted talented actors. I hope I’ll see them in other BL series too.
Anyways be aware you probably gonna cry your eyes out at the end. Tissues are welcomed, also your time shouldn’t be budgeted. It will take long, but it is worth to watch.

Loved and Expected
I enjoyed the series from start to finish. It gave me reasons to cry as well as laugh. I loved and expected the ending once I realized how Tofu was linked to Tarn. I understand that some people may be disappointed with the ending, but I don't believe it could have gone any other way. When the Teddy Bear was running through the streets and hiding from the dog in the final episode, it was a bit comedic. I kept thinking "Didn't anyone see that?" I gave it a 9.5 instead of a 10 because Jan just seems to vanish and Tarn takes over her house. You don't know if she was punished or what happened to her. I'm relieved that everyone ended up happy and that I wasn't left crying at the end. Even Phrippri found her own Tofu.Was this review helpful to you?

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 lastACTING : 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

Not other like "light typical BL series"
Im not typical who watch BL, I only watch several, and watch it just for seeing the actor lol but I can see the different from each stories. MOTB is different. They bravely showing some social issues despite this series is a fiction typical. They also rising some family issues, which is so good i think. All the actors (for the lead especially) they incredibly portrayed the role so well. Sometimes it has lot of fun scenes, other time you gonna be so hurt seeing painful scenes. Its worth rewatch only for the cute scenes imo hahaha but over all it indeed have a good message.Was this review helpful to you?

I am in tears TnT
I would recommend watching this if you are okay with major angst. This seems to be light at first but turns dark soon. But I still love the concept and the cast. I wanna protect Tofu with all my heart❤❤❤Really this was so different from all the light BL genres. This was wholesome and had its fair share if angst. This highlighted the trouble of lgbtq members and also how gender roles are casted by the society. It dealt with so many serious topics and executed them flawlessly.
The acting was so good that it made me love some actors by all my heart and hate some as well. This magical comedy angst story would literally be one of the best bls I have watched. The concept may not be realistic but the message it portrays is so true.
The ost and the intro never fails to make my heart flutter. Overall I wouldn't wanna rewatch it as it would make me cry for hours lol but yeah I will always come back for those cute scenes between Nut and Tofu.

Beware of the ending ( Spoiler!!!!)
I loved the drama for all the reasons you read in other reviews. So I won't write about the things I liked. I will make a review based on the last episode.We get to know the characters, we get to love them especially the two main characters so WHY?? i found this ending awful, sad heartbreaking!! the character Tofu we like just dies and comes back as a teddy bear: the worst end ever, for several reasons: Tofu was happy to become a human to be able to help others, to interact with them. He got to really love Nut ,and after all the good things tofu has done, he is "sentenced" to watch his lover and his rival " together! I would rather he was dead! really.
Other things as well, in the last episode as well: Nut tells tarn " in my heart i married you a long time ago" What? Has Tofu ever been there??
moreover is Tarn's place his aunt's house in which Tofu died?? How come they can come to that place???
a bit angry with the end, it's like everything from the beginning has been erased..
However, the first 15 episodes are very good. Stop there if you don't want to be disappointed.

The tragedy of a Teddy Bear, that's what the series should have been called.
To be honest, I was actually expecting a fluffy romance judging from the title and sypnosis but no its actually more than that. This series, dive in more into the story, real life hardships, mental diseases, society and peer pressure. It was a really wonderful series. The story was really good, the way it handle the story telling, characters, and romance was wonderful. The suspense and the mystery was good. When you thought that, this might be the answer its actually not. It made 1 and 30 mins fell like 20 mins. That's how good it is. The cast, was just *chef kiss*. No cringy acting, all did their characters justice. The way we could distinguish who was who when twin came into the story was good. You can know just how the way they act. The music was ok to me. The reason that my rewatch value is low because of the ending. The way they made the ending just left a bad taste in mouth. I have no issue with bad ending if its done right but this was just not it. Tofu was how I feared was just an object or plot device to fix Nut. They made it clearly in the story that he was just made for Tarn's love and Nut's memories. So is he not his own person? cause they made it clear by the way Nut told Tofu that is own person. So why did Tofu had to go when everything else is fixed. Like in the last episode, he died. I was sad but I would have come into terms with it. But no, they pulled the most obnoxious thing ever. They Tofu into a bear again....I don't how he didn't get cremated and escaped without any burned marks when the coffin was shut tight and I don't think he could break it with his teddy bear arms but that aside, it was just bad. They gave me false hope that Tofu might go back to being a human again. and the end like omg the end, Nut was back with Tarn again. And I don't know the time cause they didn't specify but its still too fast. This just means that Nut was never over for his love for Tarn. Sure having him as a good memory is a good thing but actually still loving him you got to be kidding me. I would have been more happy if Nut was with someone else. But not tarn, no matter how good he was, having him as endgame was just fucking stupid. and now they are also getting married and if the knife was still not deep enough to hurt my heart, they took it out, stab me again, took a fencing sword too and a thousand knife, stab me in the heart again, took my heart out and throw it in the floor and danced on it. They fucking made Tofu still alive to see this, but now he can't do anything. He just has to sit there and watch Nut being happy with his life without him and the fucking audacity they shoved us down our throat that Tofu was fine with. Bitch how would he or anyone be fine with this. It would have been better if Tofu disappeared, why did they have to do this? To be honest, this could have been a 10/10 series for me, if it was not for the last episode. Cause everything else is just perfect.Was this review helpful to you?

Can't believe I cried because of a Teddy Bear
I’m writing this right after finishing the last episode. It’s a very bittersweet sensation to be “happy” that the couple you’ve been following for 15 episodes of 90 minutes doesn’t end up together, even though they are perfect for each other.Once we had the confirmation of the connection between Tofu and Tarn, I knew this would not be a happy ending. As much as I loved Tofu, I was 100% sure the show would not let Tarn stay in a coma or die. This was never about the love story between Tofu and Nut. They never really had a chance. And that’s how I’m choosing to take this finale. I don’t have Tarn nor do I think him and Nut are a bad fit. I truly believe they are great for each other. I just don’t care much about him. We barely got to know the real Tarn, since we mostly know about him from Nut’s memories and point of view. So, he’s kinda of the perfect flawless guy. Nut always saw him as being perfect, being the polar opposite to Nut’s home life. I know, it’s true that Tofu was also kinda the perfect guy too, right until the end.
I thought Jan trying to poison Tofu would be a huge red flag. It was so obvious once the scene started. I was very surprised by that actually being how he dies. I knew he’d die in the episode, just as he did, but I expected that he’d die literally protecting someone from a bullet or a car trying to run someone over. He actually had a very, very sad death. And to make matters worse, we did not see that he got any justice. Sure, Saen was arrested, but we don’t know what happened to him. We also can’t forget that Jan was actually the killer. It looks like her punishment was losing Saen and Tarn waking up. The TRD lady got even less, the only think was that her project was stopped for good.
I’m happy that teddy bear Tofu came back in the end. I also love his scenes as a teddy bear running from the dog and reuniting with Nut. Them being together is the true happy ending of the show. Tofu will get the hugs and will be able to stay close to Nut. Gen and Song have their happy ending too, with both families both on board. BTW, Gen’s parents definitely earned a spot in the best parents in BLs. Nut’s mom does not, but he also missed the selection for worst moms [that actress being the mom of a BL protagonist is always a bed sign…]. If you really think about it, Na was responsible for everything bad that happened. At least, she was nice to Tofu.
I think 90 minute episodes was a bold choice. Airing three consecutive days also meant that a lot of people probably dropped the show because you don’t have time to catch up between airings. I know a lot of people that only restarted watching after the show was done, so they could do it at their own pace. Most episodes had a good flow. But, the amount of flashbacks annoyed me a bit, specially the ones centered around Na, Saen, Jan and Sib. I feel like we got flashback after flashback of the same things happening with them. The flashbacks centered around Saen at school were better.
Overall, The Miracle of Teddy Bear was a good show. I do think 16 episode of 90 minutes are a bit heavy, but that might be a bit selling point for people that like korean dramas. That aspect, plus the way this show is structured, makes this series more closely related to a kdrama than a regular thai BL. The cast is amazing and the chemistry is great. The acting highlight is obviously the dog. I’m glad he got his happy ending too.
PS: I find it really weird that not a single person thinks it’s weird for Tarn to open a studio right in the same living room where Tofu was murdered recently.

It's really great. but I had to drop it close to the end.
Don't get me wrong, the series is absolutely fantastic but it's way too sad. The actress who made the mother is an amazing actress, most of them are. I had to drop it in episode 14 because I knew what was coming: I knew he had to die for the other guy to live... also the alzheimers thing with the mom was sad enough. I admire the show for not having a convencional story and ending though. I recommend it, it's an experience of a rollercoaster of feelings. Almost forgot to say that the animated objects are terrifying lol that is ugly.Was this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?
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.
