Not bad but too stretchy
I have to admit two things.
First: I have yet to find a re-adaptation from another country that is better than the first adaptation of any source material be it a mange web toon ... Etc. especially if the first adaptation is done pretty well.
Second: I love Cherry magic Jap. ver. So freaking much and I only watched this ver. Because I love the cast and I saw many good reviews but tbh I know for sure it won't raise to the bar of the original but I'll not hold this against it by any means.
So long story short, despite knowing that it's lacking as a re-adaptation, I'll try to judge it as a drama by itself without comparing it to the original.
Now like most Thai dramas, the main problem I have with them is that they drag at the end, and this one is no exception, I enjoyed till about ep7... Maybe 8... Let's say 9 to be fair, but the last 3 ep were completely unnecessary for me, I was skipping a lot, and not because it's bad or anything, but the story got boring I loved some scenes but they weren't enough to entertain me for the last 3 eps. The only reason that kept me going was PaiRock and if the only reason I continue watching a BL is the straight couple in it, then something is wrong 😂
The main couple are gorgeous, I loved them together.. TayNew never disappoint, Jan and Sing were adorable too and I love Jan so much that I wanted to see her more and more here, Song's character Rock is also fun to watch, but sadly the second couple were too lame, I didn't like Jintha, not because of anything but I couldn't see why he fell in love with Min Like, what happened you blink and they are together, with no reason at all, also I didn't think he was "cute" or adorable with his nervous introverted personality. Also Mark did his best and I love him for that but by no means he fits the character IMO.
Now I like this drama generally and I loved TayNew ver. Of the characters but I wish it was a little shorter.
But to be completely honest, if I ever needed to suggest Cherry magic, I'd definitely go for the Japanese ver. Not this one.
