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!

A healing , simple yet so beautiful love story.

Simply is the best.
Plot
A basic GMMTV serie : simple story ,easy to watch and short .
However, its healing power is no joke.
Tiring of everyday small troubles, stressful things ⁇
This is for you, no need to think deep, just let the growing up journey of the main characters ease your soul.

The cast
I can not imagine who could do better than Jimmy and Sea for this. They ate the show ans make me want more. I stayed up late and waited for every episode. They improved the story and acting , Jimmy actually tured red while acting LOL . Super satisfied to watch .
The director must be proud of himself for letting the actors enjoyed the show like this .

For a nonchalant series watcher like me for doing all of this ,this series is special to me. I would rewatch it for n+times again.

For me? It was perfect

A comfort series, from which I could recharge emotionally. It couldn't have been better for Jimmy and Sea.
I was captivated by them in Last Twilight, so I really wanted to get to this series. Because I wanted to be captivated by their quiet chemistry all over again.
The story isn't wow, but for me it was PERFECT. I needed something light, cozy, without too much drama, that focused on a healthy relationship and character development.

Jimmy playing a doctor in a series is an old dream of mine. And I'm glad it came true. He was perfect in the role (I didn't expect anything else), and his natural charisma won me over again. He has all my respect. His roles are the best models for: look, I want a man like that too.

Sea, well, I was happy to see him in a new role, especially after Last Twilight, where he nail it with his character, Day. From seeing nothing to seeing too much... Gosh, loved it.

And the fact that I felt the reference to Last Twilight made everything even more wonderful: the sun glasses, the hate for the sunset...

And... First. Man, if I could choose just one actor to admire in this life, it would be him. 100%. I hated his character. He made me forget about my love for the actor and cling to hating the character he was playing. Just to cry with him in the last ep. 😭😭😭

And Junior, baby, I could never hate you. No matter what role you were in. And I was glad I didn't have to.💜💜💜

This series brings hope for a loner like me

If you like watching handsome men loving each other, this series is for you. If you lost your faith in love, this series is definitely for you. The plot is not really great but it reminds us of our daily life, our relationships with family and friends. I really love a quote in this series. It stated that love is above all. Even though I haven’t experienced true love but somehow I believe that, maybe it’s just me simply long for a thing that any creature needs. JimmySea’s acting are on point. They improved a lot. If you watched their previous series, there’s no reason to skip this one!

This series was a wonderful discovery for me.
I found it really touching, with endearing and well-portrayed characters.

I felt a little sorry for Kan's character, even though his jealousy, which drives him to want to kill his friend, seemed a little exaggerated to me. On the other hand, First played his role as the villain really well, and as always, his acting is excellent.

Jimmy (Thap) and Sea (In) have great chemistry on screen, and it's always nice to see them acting together.

Overall, I really enjoyed this series and had a great time watching it. I'm even a little sad that it's already over.

Really, really good. The story, pacing, and acting were all on point. The relationship was very green flag and sweet on both sides.

I really enjoyed the fact that both partners were complete equals. Both of them take care of each other, both of them pay for things, and neither of them are domineering or controlling. Although Thap took the lead early on since In was inexperienced and had never been in a relationship, by the end, In was also initiating caring gestures and both emotional and physical affection. In the second NC scene, Thap tells In that he took care of In last time, and tells In to take care of him this time. And at the end, In comforts Thap emotionally after Kan’s betrayal.

The only thing I would say I wished there was more of was In doing small gestures to care for Thap. Thap was always doing small things, like bringing an umbrella to keep In out of the sun, putting his hand on the car frame to prevent In from hitting his head, helping with his hand injury when he noticed it was acting up, etc. I wanted to see more of that minor, day-to-day type care reciprocated from In.

There was a brief period at the beginning of their romantic relationship where In was shying away from from Thap’s affection (which I didn’t like since it can read like dub con), but he gets over it relatively quickly, and Thap always backed off when In told him to. There’s one scene where Thap is taking off In’s shirt to give him a sponge bath and In grabs his shirt sleeve, so Thap immediately backs off and turns away so In can take his own shirt off. That kind of fine-tuned non-verbal consent is top-tier.

There were a few scenes that involved crossing boundaries, but it was overall a very green flag romance compared to most BLs. There are two scenes where In is hysterical / upset and keeps telling Thap not to touch him, but Thap keeps grabbing at him anyways. And there was one scene where Thap blocks In up against the wall and puts his face really close, supposedly to check if his hair was wet (a typical BL flirting move, basically), but In seemed uncomfortable. And also there’s the brief period where In was shying away from and seemed uncomfortable with Thap’s affection right when they’re first getting together.

There were scenes on both sides where one character wanted the other to do or not do something because they wanted the best for the other person. A lot of the time in BLs, this comes off as controlling behavior. Like forcing someone to do something that you perceive to be in their best interest, regardless of their own thoughts or feelings on the matter. That’s not the case here, and that was incredibly refreshing. Help, support, and care were offered, but not forced.

When Thap tells In to get unsweetened soy milk to avoid sugar or to blow dry his hair so he doesn’t get a cold, he does not coerce, manipulate, guilt, physically maneuver, or otherwise force In into listening to him. In is fully capable of and does say no if he doesn’t want to listen. They also have an actual conversation about boundaries (!!), during which In tells Thap to stop nagging and Thap agrees. In also wants Thap to run away and to not make his presence known to the public because he’s concerned about Thap’s safety. Again, he gets upset and emotional given the severity of the situation, but he does not force Thap to do what he says. And they have actual conversations - Thap agrees to run away and be more considerate about his safety, but doesn’t want to stay hidden away from the locals and In doesn’t force him to despite not liking it. There’s a mutual understanding that despite the concern for each other’s wellbeing, In is still going to help the people in his visions even if it puts his health at risk, and Thap is still going to help people that are hurt even if it may publicize his location and put his life in danger. There’s no pressuring or guilting or demanding each other stop something important to them in the name of “caring”.

I really valued the communication. They discuss and agree on boundaries, and there are apologies and adjustments when those are broken (like Thap fixing In parents’ furniture unknowingly after agreeing not to touch his stuff). They have an actual conversation about the feasibility of a long term relationship given their differing beliefs.

The ending was also great. There was pretty much a full episode left to give them a proper HEA and wrap up all loose ends. So many BLs only have a few minutes at the end where the couple is finally together and all the conflicts are resolved, and it often feels rushed and unsatisfying. That’s not the case here. I really enjoyed the 2 ring proposal. I didn’t get why they had Thap forgive Kan though, and I also didn’t understand In’s career because he graduated college but is a fortune teller that no longer does readings…so how exactly is he making money?

The one thing I didn’t like was the ex drama in episodes 7 and 8. Thap and Wan dated back in college, and Thap hasn’t dated anyone since, although he seems completely over him both mentally and emotionally. When Wan comes back, Thap is not shy about saying he’s dating In and shutting him down. But they’re realistic exes, so they’re kind and friendly to one another, and they have the longest ever closure conversation about the downfall of their relationship, the mistakes they made, and well wishes for each other’s futures. I just didn’t want to see all that, given that In was simultaneously having a breakdown due to his own inferiority complex.

Speaking of, I understand In’s discomfort with the ex being the one to help Thap when In couldn’t save him (by donating a rare blood type), with Thap’s mom saying Thap and the ex should get back together, and also with the ex posting a very couple-y type photo on Instagram. But Thap had just gotten shot and In didn’t come see him at all, even if he did go to the hospital and stay outside the room. He essentially abandoned Thap emotionally immediately after he just got shot to prioritize his own feelings, and that wasn’t fair.

The only thing that fell a bit flat for me was the kissing. There are a couple NC scenes, mainly just shirtless kissing and a cutaway with implied sex. They’re not very steamy, but they are sweet. And there’s a lot of overall physical affection, including casual kissing, which I felt solidified the couple. The problem was the actual quality of the kissing. Either the actors weren’t opening their mouths wide enough, or they weren’t matching each other’s mouth movements well, because the kissing looked really bad on camera. Simultaneously chaste, like they were trying to open their mouths as little as possible, and like they were trying to eat each other’s mouths (and not in a good way). The second couple had much less screen time and not much kissing, but they knew how to kiss for the camera.

Liked it very much!

After Twilight Jimmy and Sea became one of my favorite BL couples. The dynamics and chemistry between them are so good.
Sea is an amazing actor, in this drama his acting skills are proven once more. When he cries you can't help to cry with him because you just feel his pain, but he also nails other emotions like being drunk, happy etc.
Jimmy is also a very good actor, they are a perfect match!

I liked the story, i really like magic related stories. The music and visuals were beautiful.
And i always like it when a series has little eastereggs at the end of an episode. The overall acting was very good.

The second couple didn't really deliver for me. They were not bad, but also not very rememberable.

Definatly a must watch!

I actually don't know why everything was just perfect for me.

Honestly, I don't know how others saw Jimmy and Sea onto the characters, but I only saw Thap and In, whom I read about in the novel (except for the last scene lol). I mostly expected all that will happen in the series, as it is an adapted novel, and I truly believe that it is every author's dream to truly see the character they wrote into reality being well portrayed. They played the right emotion in every scene, even the right punch for the comedy, drama, and romance. Truly, Jimmy and Sea never disappoints with their acting.

It wasn't a perfect storyline, and some will find it cliché. The story has a great sequence; there are things that could've been better, but I already love how it is now, and as a reader and a watcher, it was perfect how it was done. The story talked about life that was sometimes overlooked by people. Talking about how death is a topic we tend to see as something normal, an escape, or an end. But no one has actually talked about those who are grieving, those who are left behind. And the oldest sibling trauma. Others will find it an overrated topic, but behind the conversation that happened is what was left unsaid for those who are really facing it. Other than all the issues and the plot, I found Love very interesting with their story. I just found love in every form that will make you see the goodness of having such to hold and being held onto. They portrayed such a very genuine and pure love that I even questioned if I'll find it in reality.

I really can't find the right words to describe the series; it was just so perfect for me. I want to ask for a few more episodes that will just make me see the life of Thap and In.

I Prophesize More Sea In My Future

Ever since 'Last Twilight' I cannot get these two out of my head and off my radar. I adore Sea and Jimmy, especially Sea. I think they have great chemistry, they know how to bring the emotional depth to their characters. I enjoyed the overall premise of this show with the tarot reading (which I also do in my personal life) and mysterious hitman. Though I called the culprit pretty quickly, like why else would First be here without Kaotung lets me so forreal. The side couple in this was pretty unneeded, they didn't add anything to the story. Overall, I enjoyed this show but it could've been and should've been so much more. And those trying to stick up for First's character...no just no. I don't care if he's salty over not being as good as Jimmy's character, like we don't just go out and try to have our supposed friends murdered. What he was doing is not excusable, and I wish the show had really brought that home to the viewers.

Also the amount of callbacks to 'Last Twilight' in this with the sun glasses, playing the guitar at the campfire, etc. Had me cracking upppp
