Magic Move is a romantic BL series that tells the story of Rit, a university student who works as a fortune teller at the Magic Move shop. Using rune stones, he has gained a reputation for making surprisingly accurate predictions, attracting many customers to the shop.
One day, fate leads him to meet Itthi, a young man searching for a childhood friend he has never forgotten. After meeting Itthi, Rit develops feelings for him almost immediately and decides to pretend to be that childhood friend. What begins as a single fortune-telling session soon becomes the starting point of a story filled with romance, secrets, and unexpected twists.
The series is available on IQIYI and Moonlight Glow's
YouTube channel.
Personally, I had been following this series since the release of its Official Pilot on Moonlight Glow's YouTube channel, and when the full series finally aired, I felt it lived up to my expectations.
One of the things I enjoyed most was the way the story developed gradually and logically. The pacing allows viewers to get to know the characters and understand the progression of their relationship. I also liked how the series incorporated beliefs, fortune-telling, and rune stones into the storyline. It gives the series a unique identity and makes it stand out from many other BL dramas.
The cast is charming and delivers solid performances throughout the series. The actors fit their roles well and make the emotions and relationships feel believable. That said, there were a few scenes where the acting or dialogue felt slightly unnatural to me. Fortunately, these moments were minor and did not significantly affect my overall enjoyment of the story.
The production quality is another strong point. The cinematography, camera work, lighting, and visual composition are all well executed, resulting in many beautiful scenes that enhance the atmosphere of the series.
I was particularly impressed by the intimate scenes between the characters. These moments were filmed beautifully, balancing romance and sensuality without feeling excessive.
The use of lighting, framing, and visual aesthetics helped make these scenes both emotionally engaging and visually appealing.
Overall, Magic Move is a BL series with a fresh and interesting concept. By combining fortune-telling, beliefs, and romance, it creates a story that feels unique while remaining emotionally engaging. With its strong performances, attractive visuals, and compelling storyline, it is definitely a series I would recommend to BL fans.
Final Rating: 8/10.

Watch Suggestions:

What I Liked
- it was funny how he got into fortune telling (though he's going to need to slow down lol)
- the dream in episode 1
- intimacy

Room For Improvement
- what the writers did to a character in episode 9
- multiple main characters annoyed me. Who needs enemies with "friends" like those (bartender dude was fine turning his best friend into an alcoholic). Itt knew he was hurting Rit by not saying he knew also did the "I can explain" and never explained. Rit also lied and then somehow thought all the actions/feelings they experienced were false? And I cannot believe he did that AT A FUNERAL
- the finale a character apologized for manipulation by more manipulation lmao and they reconciled at 39 minutes...of a 46 minute episode!
- constant comedy sound effects
