I have never understood why they don't just let those two loose. They were always forced into such fake and cliche…
What does this comment even mean? Viu published their statistics that in 2024, the most watched series in their platform was Cherry Magic Thailand. And gmmtv published the trend statistics for each episode. So the sources, literally, are Viu and Twitter.

?? CM was the most viewed series in Viu that year. And it got over a million tweets in the last few episodes. That was a couple of years back, when it was quite difficult to get that number.
This is the most entertaining BL airing right now, without a doubt. Each scene is humming with energy and chemistry. And then the quiet moments hit so well. The scenes when Toto is genuinely wooing Kanit, and Kanit gets shy 😍 Also, Kanit is definitely more sad about Toto lying to him than about Lion cheating. He is not eager about having sex with Lion, he is not fully heartbroken about Lion cheating on him, Kanit definitely is more interested in Lion as a status symbol than as a boyfriend.
TayNew chemistry is superb and this series reinforces why they are two of the best actors in Thai BL. They can do such a wide variety of characters convincingly, when some of the so called “good BL actors” only do the same character over and over again, but are called good by their fans only because they cry in every role.
When has this subject matter been done before? Genuinely asking
The closest comparison, with themes of religion is of course Your Name Engraved Herein. Boy Erased and Latter Days are western movies depicting religion and struggling with sexuality. Latter Days is a gay romance.
There’s also other media which centres on Catholicism and forbidden romance like Father Amaro with Gael Garcia Bernal, then Fleabag.
This is just off the top of my head, but Catholicism/christianity vs forbidden attraction is a pretty popular theme to explore in media, given the tension and conflict.
This series is doing super well on Thai TV and in Japan. The trending ain’t bad either, over 25 countries I think. Not too shabby for a decade old couple lmao
Done a lot previously lmao where if it's not intresting to watch may be it's not for you
Crashing out in the comment section over the mildest of critiques. Are you not embarrassed at the way you behave and choose to be in life? People irl will not be blind stans like you, you can’t control how other people behave.
Ticket to Heaven is incredibly well-acted and directed.Fourth's acting alone is really deep and thought-provoking.…
I disagree. I think MOR had the same issue as TTH now, the scenes and the writing are not very captivating, it’s all strangely one note and inert. But, the ending of episode two gives me hope, maybe the following episodes will be more engaging to watch.
This is giving me Memoir of Rati vibes. That is great acting/chemistry, good direction/production, but somehow not very interesting to watch? This kind of subject matter has been done a lot previously and in a more intense way.
However, the last 10 minutes of episode two was great, I hope the rest of the series is like that and not too inert. The preview looks good.
Fourth has really great screen presence. Gemini is good too. I hope Bright has juicy scenes.

Thai BL is just killing it right now. At least four brilliant shows, which would easily feature on ATG BL show list, airing at the same time!!
The storyline is a little hard to follow sometimes tho. What’s the deal with the director Arthur? Why does Sun care about who Arthur is looking for?
And if he’s the rabbit, why can’t he recognise Jay?
The drama is incredibly successful lmao

Writing/direction/production is weak.
