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.Was this review helpful to you?
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 !!!Was this review helpful to you?

A MAGICAL DREAM COME TRUE FOR A POLCA 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 !♥♥♥

Fun for in between
I liked it.This drama resembles a pure and healthy relationship. It is neither rushed nor unrealistic. Even though I couldn't adapt to the storyline at first and thought that the idea of a mind reading power was quite weird, I'm glad that I continued. The story isn't complicated and it is perfect for watching in between all the other currently airing dramas. Though I hadn't seen any of the actors, except for Mark (btw he's great), in any other series they were able to convince me.
I really recommend it:)
Also the cuddle scenes were extremely cute<333 and not repetitive:)

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!!!!

Shockingly better than the Japanese version
I am so glad TayNew are selective about their shows. Dark Blue Kiss had a pretty realistic, decent story (compared to most GMMTV shows, it actually seemed to be set in real life, rather than a fictional BL universe.) That sense of realism exists in this show too.I am surprised this is better than the Japanese Cherry magic adaptation, and for me personally, it is due to the side couple. I actually never even finished the japanese version because of them (i think due to the age gap, it was icky.) This time, even they are wholesome. Junior is hilarious in his role as a shut-in. But he is relatable sometimes, he is nerdy and socially awkward but not mean or creepy.
Even more of a sign of how good this drama is, the secondary het couple is also really cute. I found myself rooting for Sing's character and actually shipping them! This is such a cute show.
It is shocking how inconsistent GMMTV adaptations can be. F4 Thailand is also the best version, but Love Mix Up was so badly made that I was hesitant to try this. Good to see this is equal in production/writing to the Japanese version but surpasses it due to the secondary storyline being improved.. Seriously, 10000/10. If you want to introduce somebody to BL, this is the show. Can't get better than this. So surprised. I wish GMMTV consistently made shows like this.

CHERRY MAGIC HITS DIFFERENT ❤️
Cherry Magic is pure joy from start to finish. I never got bored, not even once! It’s the perfect mix of romance and comedy. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of BL series set in office environments because they can feel slow or dull, but Cherry Magic completely changed my mind. It’s fluffy, adorable, and downright hilarious.The premise is gold: Achi suddenly gets the power to read people’s minds when he touches them and that’s how he finds out the hottest, smartest guy at work, Karan, secretly has a crush on him! Karan is such a sweetheart, a total green flag energy. Achi, on the other hand, is this shy, innocent cutie who doesn’t realize how lovable he actually is. His lack of confidence can be frustrating, but it’s also what makes his character so endearing.
The chemistry between Achi and Karan (TayNew) is top-tier, they’re so cute together! And don’t even get me started on the hilarious mind-reading scenes and Jinta’s reactions. Jinta and Min (JuniorMark) are such a fun side couple too. I cracked up when Jinta read a dating guide in the bookstore, adorable! Oh, and the chubby cat? Bonus points for her.
The story flows so smoothly, with a simple but consistent plot that kept me smiling the whole time. I didn’t skip a single scene. Even the supporting characters, like the boss who speaks Nihongo (his accent is everything), added so much charm to the series. No villains, just vibes, lighthearted, wholesome, and comforting.
And that airport love confession from Achi? So beautiful and heartwarming, I could melt.
If you’re looking for a feel-good BL series that’s sweet, funny, and full of heart, Cherry Magic is definitely a must-watch.

Candid Charms of TayNew
"Cherry Magic," the Thai adaptation of the popular Japanese BL series, introduces Achi, an ordinary employee who discovers an extraordinary power on his thirtieth birthday – the ability to read minds through physical contact. Portrayed by Newwie, known for his role in "SOTUS" since 2016, it's evident that he has grown as an actor, delivering a commendable performance. His chemistry with Tay, who plays the charming colleague Karan, brings freshness to the screen, particularly for me who's accustomed to seeing Newwie with Earth (my last BL with Newwie starring on it)Tay's portrayal of Karan is engaging, although lacking a point of comparison since I haven't seen him in previous dramas. The storyline follows Achi's struggle to navigate his newfound ability, especially after unintentionally uncovering Karan's feelings for him. While the Thai adaptation stays faithful to the original premise, there are moments where the pacing feels sluggish, making some parts of the series less captivating.
One aspect that stands out is Newwie's handling of intimate scenes. Despite his experience, there's a noticeable awkwardness that detracts from the authenticity of those moments. However, it's worth acknowledging that this could be a result of various factors, including character dynamics and personal comfort levels.
Overall, "Cherry Magic" offers a decent adaptation for fans of the BL genre, with strong performances from its leads. While it may falter in pacing at times, it's a refreshing addition to Thai BL dramas, showcasing both familiar faces and new talent in the genre.

Mature? Yes; Sensible? Yes; Perfect? DEF FOR ME
I can't believe I'd been sitting on this absolute gem of a show. I didn't realllly wanna watch this because- idk, idk why. Maybe the superpower-trope made me not wanna watch this. But guys, the superpower trope is done really well in this one, it's goood it's goood - there's no trouble over it. I AM SO GLAD THAT I HAD EXAMS RIGHT NOW AND GOT THAT FEELING OF WATCHING ANYTHING AS LONG AS I DIDN'T HAVE TO STUDY, and I just used a wheel-picker to select what drama I'd watch. SPLENDID PICK. Stop hesitating and watch this yall

TAYNEW IN A PERFECT ADAPTATION
This series is really cute. Super comfort and sweet❤️ I loved everything about it and it has definitely become one of my favorite thai shows!I didn’t have high expectations, but I was wrong, it’s really a good adaptation of the manga and the japanese version. Personally, I like this one more than the japanese one, that I found cute but nothing more. Karan and Achi will always be in my heart❤️their relationship is so sweet and cute and Karan is really a green flag, I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time.
It's also a really funny series, as well as sweet, and it's really worth watching!
AND I LOVE TAYNEW SO MUCH, I fell in love with them with this series. Thank you, Cherry Magic.

Such a Cute & Comfortable BL Series
I think that everyone knows Cherry Magic from Japan because of how popular it was. Recently, I knew about the Thailand adaptation and it was portrayed by the popular BL couple, Tay & New.Since I already knew and watched the original series for a multiple times already, I know the things I need to expect and the standard that must be met. Watching this Thailand adaptation made me feel good. They met and exceeded the standard of Cherry Magic that I set. In the story, there were some alterations, and I felt like this adaptation is more light than the Japanese adaptation. Both Tay and New are great portrayers of the main characters. Frankly, there were moments wherein I felt like they became monotonous on their acting, but regardless, did a great job. Junior and Mark also did great as the second characters of this film. Their own story added an extra flavor to the whole series. Jang and Sing's story as a couple is also good and added an extra juice to the plot of this series.
In totality, the Thailand adaptation of Cherry Magic was satisfying. Yes, no one can beat the Japanese adaptation because the chemistry of the main characters there was extraordinary, but this adaptation served what they need to serve and did their best in their own accordance.

LOVE THIS BUT NOT OBSESSED! (Unlike JDrama version)
I'm obsessed with JDrama live action version.LOVE THIS BUT NOT OBSESSED!
Maybe that's bcz I watched JD live actn first, Anime next n then this.
For me, JD live actn had set up a high mark for KuroAda's story already n so makes me to compare any other adaptations with it as a reference.
I'm a FAN of TAY n NEW individually or as a couple n watch almost every work of them, even when they do a cameo😁
But somehow I DIDN'T FIND THE SPARK ✨ of Kurosawa's story in this.
To be honest, sometimes I get a vibe that this is a different BL, not KuroAda's magical story 😐
n so I treat this as a separate work n then LOVED it, haha
One thing I LOVE about this is, it introduced me to the wonderful actor, JUNIOR💕
He SLAYED character JINTA (Tsuge's counterpart) 😁
While Tsuge didn't impress me at all in JD live actn.
I loved Junior - Mark couple more than its JDrama counterpart 😍
DON'T MISS TO WATCH THIS, it covers the scenes which are not adapted in JD live action and U FIND THOSE LOVELY!!💕
Whatever JD live actn n Thai versions didn't cover, Anime covered.
Currently reading the Ongoing Manga, found that JD live action drama, Anime and Thai version TOGETHER covered everything from the manga.
