On Tiffany's recommendation I watched Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (the Japanese series) and it was so nice, I had finished it in one day. I kept the 2 special episodes for the next day ;-) Now I think I'll wait a little and then watch the Thai remake later this year.
Are you aware that "Cherry Magic: The Movie" (also on Gaga) is a sequel to the series, not simply a movie version of the same thing? It's a satisfying conclusion, so you'll definitely want to watch it, too.
I'm usually a tough critic of remakes of ironic originals that don't need remaking, but in this case, I think the Thai remake is even better: Perfectly executed, with Tay & New in top form.

Regarding Cherry Magic: The Movie - Oh, I didn’t know that. Thank you!
Anyone watching "Love Algorithm", a Malaysian BL starting on WeTV? I don't know why it shows "Thailand" on WeTV, maybe because homosexual is illegal and persecuted in Malaysia and thus it needs to be released through an overseas shell company (?). Not listed on MDL, presumably because it's Malaysian.
I'm not sure I want to watch it - in part because Malaysia is so uncomfortably problematic, in part because the drama doesn't excite me - but I'd be interested in feedback.
For right now it's still to short (13 min) to make a definite judge. It's not terrible, but nothing ground breaking. I do like one of the actors acting so that's a plus. It has the feel of a low budget so prepare for that. And has the classic, we misunderstood each other but neither of us actually has a conversation like a normal human so we have resentment, trope. How this is handled will be my deciding factor on it being good.
