Delivered Magical Connections and Healing for the Heart
i feel like we have watched the chemistry blossom between jimmy and sea in each of their shows and i truly think My Magic Prophecy was one of the best showings of their chemistry. they got to show their personal growth and their growth together, and even improvised additional intimacy to give the show a deeper spark of joy and closeness between the characters. the romance between thap and in was a beautiful story of overcoming the struggles of the weight of magic and of medicine and the power of grief and bringing life back to lonely people. it also showed the power of embracing your struggles and accepting that someone who loves you can help carry the weight of them.sea’s character inthu was a very cool fortune teller and I honestly wish we had gotten to see more of his fortune telling/tarot reading throughout the show. the visions and the consequences were heart-gripping for me and i really felt for in. sea’s portrayal of inthu’s grief was beautiful and heartbreaking.
in terms of his visions, i loved the fate is an arrow metaphor in used to explain the consequences so much and think that it’s my favorite quote of the show.
one more thing about inthu’s character resonated most with me. as a person who has a comfort/security blanket, inthu and his star blanket means so much to me personally and him being on screen with it so much truly touched my heart and made me feel not so weird for having one.
it was also very fun to see jimmy playing a flirty, open character who more actively pursued hitting on his romantic interest.
lastly, i really enjoyed the second couple as well. the softness and shared backstory of ton and pokpong allowed them to fall easily back into each other’s lives and provided context to a soft chemistry they share. they were very sweet in their interactions. they also seemed more than happy to make up for lost time and it allowed them to have open discussions to apologize and to forgive the fading out of each other’s lives that had happened. i really loved their story and their scenes and i wish we had seen a bit more. but i loved pong deciding not to wait around and making it clear that ton’s feelings were reciprocated and that ton didn’t have to wait for them to build because they were already there. pong initiated the emotional intimacy so ton took the initiative in the physical intimacy and i think that was a very sweet thing to share the moment of the beginning of their romantic relationship. i also think that it was a great introduction to savefranc as a pairing and i hope they continue to grow their chemistry while acting together.
all in all, i think My Magic Prophecy was a show that delivered magical connections and showed that medicine can also be used for the heart.
this is my first ever written review of a show so i hope my points came across alright. this review was also posted by me on letterboxd. thank you for reading!
