it's not that deep
This is just my personal opinion!!!
First of all, I can totally understand why people like this BL. Honestly, it checks most of the boxes for a “feel-good” kind of show!
Thap is a very understanding, non-toxic guy—at least when it comes to his relationship with his man. In is just wonderful, pure-hearted, and kind.
I think the problems I found—if we can even call them “problems”—are in the script, as always. It’s no secret that finding a good, cohesive, non-cliché story from GMMTV is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Once in a blue moon, they release something genuinely good and well-structured, and Last Twilight was one of those shows.
Yeah, I know comparing shows isn’t the best thing to do because inevitably one comes out “better” than the other. That being said, in my head it became inevitable.
Last Twilight was the show that actually made me like JimmySea, and realize that they are—and hopefully will remain—one of the most promising couples in the company. The kind of chemistry they share is truly rare, plus they can actually act.
When they became Mok and Day, we got to see two people struggling with different challenges and complex emotions. Day had to come to terms with the fact that he had become blind, while Mok couldn’t see the goodness and kindness within himself. Even though most of us haven’t gone through exactly what they did, their characters were so relatable, so human, and so real. Their romance bloomed naturally.
It was beautiful, but not the prime focus of the story. We had other things to hold on to, which made it dynamic and interesting.
My problem with My Magic Prophecy is that it feels like a show made just to appease the fans (in my view, not saying that it is). In struggles in the beginning but ends up falling for Thap. Thap is perfect, he loves In… and that’s it. Yeah, Thap is at risk of dying, but honestly, sometimes I even forgot he was in danger. The show, in my opinion, focuses solely on their romance and lets it overshadow everything else. I guess it proves how strong JimmySea’s connection is, but like—GMMTV, are you FOR REAL? Is that all you could come up with?
Just an underwhelming, cliché, “I’ve seen this a million times” kind of show.
And obviously, I’m not saying “people who just want to watch light romantic BLs are stupid.” Honestly, if it makes you smile, giggle, and forget your troubles, I’m glad! I’m happy to see that so many people feel good after watching it.
It’s just that I was expecting more. More from actors who clearly have so much to give. Putting them in a show like this feels like wasting their potential. But once again, just my opinion. If you love it—slay!! I don’t think I can finish it though.
