Unrelated topic: I noticed that MDL doesn't show if a series is in GagaOOLaLa. This one is in GG but there's no indication on this page. The same for The Rebound, Hello Stranger, I hear the sunspot. Does anyone know why?
I’m reading all these positive comments and I must’ve watched a different series because what I saw was really bad: overacting (pretty much everyone but specially Sun), tiring old Thai BL tropes (nasty office workers, comic sidekick, etc.) and what’s with the slo-mo reveal of characters (Sun. Sun’s brother and the woman in the office)??? Is it supposed to be dramatic? It feels like old-fashioned shampoo commercials
While waiting for ep10, been watching the early eps and just noticed that on ep 2 (2/4) at 2:37, when Moo puts sauce on the omelet, he draws a heart!!! Am I the only one who thinks the screenwriters had a lot of fun developing the script???
Well explain because I honestly do not understand and would love to.
OK, this is how I see it but I might be wrong so feel free to disagree!
One of the recurring themes in the series is the need to go out into the world and face life’s challenges on your own terms. Mhok thanks Day because he understands that he was locking himself up in a room the same way that Day was doing at the beginning, except that now the “room” was Day’s life and needs. By breaking up, Day (maybe unintentionally) forced Mhok to leave that room. Their roles have reversed and Day was now the one dragging Mhok out and Mhok was grateful.
BTW, this theme appears several times in the series, not only with Day and Mhok but also in the stories of Phojai, August, and Day’s mother
Question for people familiar with Thailand: Is the expression "warm as a microwave" real? Do normal people say it or Is it an invention of the screenwriters/translators?
I just want to say that I wish more Thai BL had female characters such as Phojai and Gee. Both are so important to the story and both are so real. Kudos!
PS: To anyone who criticizes Mhok for saying "Thank you for breaking up with me", just let me say that you didn't understand this series at all!!!
Under related content above, it mentions 3 Taiwanese compilations. What is a "compilation"? Is it different from a remake, or side story, or prequel/sequel?
I enjoyed this. It has some weak spots but in general is quite OK. However there are two things that bothered me a lot.
First, I found the whole “read people’s mind” unnecessary. Usually, series that are about body swapping, time travel, etc. need the gimmick to keep the story together but not with Cherry Magic. If you take out the “read people’s mind” thing, you still have a good, coherent story with characters, situations, and emotions that make sense. I really think it doesn’t add anything.
Second, I don’t get why they had to make Jinta such a clown. The character seems completely out of place as if it should be in a different series. The other characters are all moderate and relatively low-key but Jinta is so over the top that it made me cringe. What were the screenwriters thinking???
Moo: It's the same thing. Not talking about it and not acknowledging it is the same as lying
What a take down!
