Achi goes into his thritieth birthday feeling like a failure. He doesn't have time for relationships outside of work, hasn't moved up in his workplace, and doesn't have the charisma of his senior coworker Karan, employee of the year many years running. On the morning of his birthday, he finds out he's gained the power to hear the thoughts of those he makes contact with, including perfect Karan—who he's surprised to learn has a crush on him.

Cherry Magic Episode 1 Reactions
love the Japanese version & as this the same plot, doubt i wont enjoy this. even though this pair isn't my favorite, as i got introduced to them in Dark Blue Kiss (which was a sh*t show IMO) & i couldn't stand Pete (played by Tay. heck in any of the spinoffs didn't like him - not in Kiss Me Again or in Our Skyy) so put off watching this adaptation, even though was curious. but so far so good, both guys looks great (or aged well - even though being in ur 30s doesn't make u ancient lol) New looks as good as he always did (he could easily pass for a 18 yr old), but Tay looks better - maybe cause i disliked his character in the BL's i mentioned above, it colored my POV about his looks... either way, enjoyed the eye candy & the acting. even though Achi is a bit extra for my liking & i get he is trying hard to imitate the Japanese, Adachi Kiyoshi - which is making me cringe (again maybe cause i know New to be more melancholy in his character portrayal's) or maybe i just can't forget the J counterpart & cant hep but compare.... will try hard to stop with the comparisons.*******************************************************************************************************************************************the things i like so far - other then the looks lol. this version of Achi's bff, Jinta is wayyy better looking then the J counterpart Tsuge, heck i didn't like the side couple at all. so already have high hopes that this time, will enjoy them (hope so). also liked seeing Achi's commute to work - it is a new fresh look that i rarely see.

I had some revelation about something very very basic. Maybe it's not even the first time I am realising this? But feels like it is.Started watching Cherry Magic (Thai ver). Even though I am super biased to the Japanese live adaptation, I decided I can only give the Thai version a fair-ish shot if I considered it as something new and do my best not to compare. I'm only in one episode and while I appreciate the cultural difference incorporated, I wish they kept Karan's character closer to Kurosawa. No, it doesn't make the series better or worse if I think about it, it's just a preference. Because Kurosawa's cute thoughts were what endeared me to the character - even when madly in love, until he is actually closer to Adachi's even his fantasies are just his crush looking cute, adorable or sexy after a shower wearing PJs. That's only the extent he lets himself even fantasize, and that's the defining point which made me realise how these two versions are different for me. Thai version is a fun, romantic watch; Japanese is my comfort series. Just like comfort food you look for when you are sick - something you are attached to, something that will make you feel better - varies with people. Mine is simple, sweet, without much complications, and the (unreal) purity of Japanese series made me very attached to it. Like incredibly biased.That said, the first episode was a fun watch, with difference in persona, living and working situations reminding me this is an adaptation - all these points were wonderful. I guess I can say it's no "30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii" but I do like it in a different way.(There is one thing I am biased to here and it's Tae Tawan's smile so.. 🤷♀️🤷♀️..first episode ended in a very satisfying note)

Haven't we been here before? I liked the Japanese version, and I just finished Dark Blue Kiss, so I am back here on Daily Motion to watch the Thai version. The concept of this still freaks me the fuck out. New and these juicy lips I can't. They are so beautiful. How come he looks younger in this one than the one that came out 5 years ago? MY MANN, Karan, or Tay looks so hot when he is smiling. I had to cover my ears; I couldn't listen to him speak Japanese. I don't remember it being this sad at the start. He looks so handsome with his hair ruffled up in this twin-sized bed. I would get that checked out for schizophrenia, lol. I love how they still have aspects of the Japanese version; it is very sweet. I haven't seen him since Star in my heart or whatever the fuck, holy shit. He looks so fine in this. This lighting is doing him so much justice, or the fact he is meowing at a cat, I don't know. He is just very attractive. He has liked him for 7 years, man. Okay, I don't remember that he could see actual thoughts; I thought it was just here. Or that is his crazy ass mind. Update: It is his crazy-ass mind, lol. So handsome when he smiles—what a handsome man. And that was a good first episode. Glad to be back for round two, can they make this one as good as the Japanese version, there is only one way to find out. Okay bye!

I'M BACK WITH MY TAYNEW!!! the beginning was a little depressing and actually had me worrying about my future in the 30s... mind you i'm only 19 :(. i literally gasped when new looked up the actual manga. im surprised that they aired it. as of now, the japan one is still my favorite. the actors were just so well suited for the roles. not saying that tay or new aren't doing a good job, but they just can't reach the level of the japanese actors who portrayed their roles perfectly.

I waited for so so long to finally watch this and finally see My TayNew together again in a drama, I am so so happy that I was really crying literally watching the episode 1 !!To be honest, I was looking for the difference of the Japan Version and this version but right now I will just forget about comparison and enjoy my TayNew ! After all I have read informations about here is that it is not the adaptation of the Japanese but it is more of like the adaptation of the comic itself.I so so love it, Tay Tawan is so Handsome and it really feels new to me to see him act as and he rocked it, and my Baby New ! So adorable and cute , Omg love how exaggerated he was when he was just realizing he had a power, it was a blast pilot for me and okay the Smile of Tay Tawan or Karan on the last part when Achi entered his condo, it was like, he got successful of getting his prey and his smile seems he has really a different intention 🤣🤣🐳🐻❄️ .. in real life it will look like a stalker but forget the real life here Ill just gonna binge this and enjoy being a POLCA waaaa 🩵🩵🩵

Gak kalah bagus dari manganya. Tay dan New sangat bisa membawa karakter Karan dan Achi. Bahkan aku kalau udah nonton gak liat mereka sebagai TayNew, tapi sebagai KaranAchi karna memang sebagus itu penbawaan karakter mereka

the first ep of CMTH brings a warm delightful glimpse into the unexpected, creating a charming introduction of the cherry magic universe.

This episode tells how difficult ACHI's life is even though he has worked hard and many people understand this because the same thing often happens at work. Boring life becomes interesting when ACHI has power and can see everyone with a new perspective. Their acting was very good and the atmosphere was really comfortable

This is very interesting, Achi, who didn't expect to have strength at the age of 30 and is still a virgin, at first of course it will interfere with activities because it's impossible not to touch, but Achi can do it well.

#CherryMagicTHep1 was so pretty well series. All of the characters are suitable like in the manga. Both main leads and supporting roles acting were so good and the script writers wrote it too well. I love the cat too anyway, so cute :D. Karan's imagination is very wild but funny at the same time, so Achi... be careful :p

I don't recall the Japanese version of this show as it's been a while since its release, but if I'm not bored basically rewatching the same exact storyline, I think there's something being done right here!If you're weary about whether this story will be completely changed or not given justice, don't be. Tay and New are great actors with great chemistry and I'm sure the show will not be a let down.

What a perfectly wonderful start!Tay and New have captured thevery essence of their characters.They played their roles to perfection. The supporting cast also broughttheir A game. The production, thetiming, the visuals are all spot on. It is just delightful to watch as this romance begins to unfold.

I'd die if people could hear my thoughts, I'd probably sound just as insane as Karan does. Even though I liked TayNew's chemistry, and thought the episode was funny, I cannot get over the fact that Karan sounds SO creepy in his thoughts lmao (when he was fantasizing about bringing Achi to his apartment?? Man I would RUN if I were Achi). It of course makes for some hilarious moments (and the premise of being able to mind-read is very interesting), but oh my God, some things are not meant to be heard - even less so when it's your thoughts about your crush. Overall, however, it was a cute first episode, let's see where this goes.

As someone who loved the original and was a little skeptical when I heard that Thailand was making their own version, I was pleasantly surprised by the first ep. It definitely has a Thai spin to it, but the chemistry is good, casting seems decent, and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
