The Miracle of Teddy Bear

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.

SO so very wondeful

This is a BL drama but also so much more. It is beautifully written and the plot has just enough twists to keep you interested but not so many as to wear your enjoyment out.
It is essentially a fairy tale - but fairy tales can still deliver strong messages and be wondrous at the same time.
The actors are well cast and the actors perform very well together making their characters develop well. As always the supporting cast are weak and overly given to playing pantomime in a way you see in all Thai and Korean drama. I know that almost seems a cultural requirement but I do wish that directors would move on from this. Asian drama has moved a long way forward in the last few years and this drama shows that.
The story is in some part based on the novella "The Little Prince" but is not just a reworking. In many ways the most recognisable aspect it draws from the novella is with the insights it gives to the human condition, on life and death, love and obsession, dreams and reality.
From the outset it is clear that the ending was going to be a difficult task and by the time we got to the last episode I nearly stopped watching as I couldn't 'bear' the story to end as I feared it would. I am glad I stayed the course as the ending is quite superb and beautifully done.
It is truly the best show I have watched all year. Thank you so much.

Miracles are said to have an end

The story was good except for the ending. Many liked this end though. They brought it to be a happily ended series.
..........................................................................................................
I wish TOFU to end up with Nut rather than reviving Tatarn and patching him up with Nut.
..........................................................................................................
May be I would have been more happy to see, after the death of TOFU and the return of Tarn, Nut Apologizing to Tarn and moving on from his past with the memories of TOFU.

Beautiful and deep

If love, unblemished with ego, jealousy, and attachment, was to come alive as a person, they would be like Tofu I guess ....<3

BL needle score: 7.5 - Reasonably strong BL-ness, interspersed with serious themes

What an absolutely beautiful and deep series this is...while many other Thail BL series have hinged on magic realism, this seems to have taken it to another level altogether. 16 episodes with an average duration of 1.5 hours, that is a whole day/24 hours, and yet, I binge-watched it.

Should you watch it? The short answer is YES. It has avoided many usual tropes and pitfalls of Thai BLs. Hats off to the team that they stuck to their guts to keep the episodes at 1.5 hours length and refused to cut corners, which helped with a layered and nuanced portrayal of sensitive and difficult issues such as mental health, childhood trauma, toxic social-cultural traps that many parents forced their children through, and so on....

It also beautifully captures how we get caught up in our own lies, even with the best intentions, how jealousy, attachments and inner insecurities stop us from being our authentic selves and hurt everyone in the process.....and how love (Tofu personifies love to me in this series) is the only force that can ultimately brings us towards closure and peace, so that we can look towards the future with some hope and happiness.....

Off course I also have my axe to grind with the ending, not because how it ended, but more for the pace of it. It felt completely rushed at the end without giving the characters and viewers some time to grieve and adjust to Tofu's storyline, and also find some closure before being able to 'move on' and look to the future with hope....I just don't get why the team, after making such long episodes without cutting corners, had to rush through the ending...I'm wondering if they faced the same pressures as Nut's boss in the series, Juea.

It would have been much better to show a break in the storyline like '2 years later' or '3 years later' before showing how the characters moved on with their lives....that would have given Nut, Na and all others a reasonably acceptable time to grieve Tofu (yes, the Teddy's presence notwithstanding) ...without that closure curve, it seems like all the people who were so deeply touched by Tofu and his love, just quickly went past him and went on with their lives...which is plain disrespectful and insensitive to a character who was as important as Tofu.... and that is why it seems so painful and unacceptable for most of us, I believe...it would have been also good to spare 5-6 minutes for the Saen-Jan storyline to show what happened to them afterwards....If not for these gaps, this series would have figured in my list of Top 5 Thai BLs so far, but because of this issue it will only do so in the top 10.

Nevertheless, I maintain that this is an absolutely beautifully crafted series ...the only other Thai BL series that I think comes close to talking sensibly about such difficult issues is probably '180 degrees longitude passes through us', and 'Khun Chai', though both of them only scratched at the surface, while this series goes deep and is thus a cathartic experience. It somehow reminded me of the series '13 reasons why' which also dealt with difficult subjects of mental health, jealousy, suicide, guilt, trauma, power and the likes, though it was way more triggering and raw...

Kudos and a BIG THANK YOU to the entire cast, crew and team for making this series. Definitely recommended!

WTFITS

Ok ok so I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea what I was expecting and I'm not sure if I found it. I'm giving this a solid 7 because it had me f***ed up on several occasions with good, bad and ugly emotions. lol
The MC aggravated me quite frequently with his overreacting and unnecessary outbursts of anger about EVERYTHING. I don't think this series needed 16eps/ 1hr 1/2 long eps to get it's point across. It got a little boring in the middle and seemed to continue yet not progress.
Overall this isn't the series for you if you want lots of intimacy. This isn't just about romance or even the struggles for LGBTQ+ people in the world. It's about cherishing all loved ones, forgiving others and most importantly, learning to love yourself. You're not alone and there's more to life than what you're forced to believe or see.
Side note: Legit I spent most of this series asking myself : "What The F*** Is This $***?!"
Enjoy...

My Thoughts about The Miracle of Teddy bear. I am here to express all my thoughts on this series. This series is good because it tackles about LGBTQ, Mother's Love, Alzheimer's Disease and About Thailand's Justice System. I learned a lot in this series. One of the best and Unique BL series this 2022. They set the standard !. We all overthink. Miracle happens for a reason. We can't blame Tofu's decision in the end. Thanks to the cast because I was carried away by their acting. They deserve an award.
This series is good.
I'll rate it 9/10 Why 9 ?. The ending is a bit sad and a plot hole like what happened to Jan? She should also be imprisoned. It reminds me of "Not Me" the series of OFFGUN because that's how the Justice System of Thailand is, Nothing is above the Law but if you have money and power that's what will happen. TRD (Saen's boss) should be jailed.
I also want to witness Prib and the woman she will meet. Ayiieeee. And more exposure to Song and Gen. We're expecting Season 2. Petition that The Miracle of Teddy bear will have Season 2 because I know not everyone is satisfied with the ending. Mixed emotions.
😭😆🥺😍 Sana all may Tofu in real life🧸 ♥ ️

too much chaos, not enough connection

this series was hard to get through. there’s a lot of chaos, many unnecessary layers of drama, and characters that kept taking me out of being immersed in the story. Inn did incredible acting that would draw me back in, but the random outbursts of violence against him would sour the good for me. nut was borderline abusive to everyone and I found it hard to feel much sympathy for him most of the time.

I do have to admit that the dragging out of the main story made it hard to connect to nut & his feelings. by the time we get the real picture of his life, the show is basically over. maybe I expected a lot more from the constant high praise I see for this series, but I can’t say I feel like I enjoyed this all too much. I am still giving it a high rating because the acting was good. I hated the parents/twins 97% of the time, so that was good on the actors.

overall, a very frustrating series that left me unsure I even connected to any of the characters.
