I'm torn. BL Japan jes. Thanks to CM and after search I prefer JP BL over others it's seem a bit irony and joke…
Oh the important thing with this work is to not see the world of the characters as reality. Even the main character acknowledges his world is one of fiction. I think with Cherry Magic we can still see the world as being close to reality despite the supernatural elements but this BL is much more towards fiction.
Watching it basically will feel similar to reading a selfaware cheesy romance manga yeah. Its not for everyone but as someone who used to read shoujo manga I'm curious enough about it. Also I read the original manga and it has some genuinely funny moments (like the ghosts, not sure if they'll include it), its up to the drama not to mess it up.
This show will specifically focus on manga BL and not on giving commentary on live-action dramas. It's not meant to portray some deep reflection on the BL manga industry or anything like that though. Just the typical ''falling in love at first sight'' tropes or how characters seem to be unable to notice certain stuff (like whispered confessions) in mangas. The main character can sometimes act weird or rude since he is selfaware but in the end he is also supportive of the couples around him.
Good luck watching! There may be some stuff in the series I will dislike but I'm watching for the main couple (Yutaro and the classmate) ^^
Alright the Blu-Ray boxsets of Cherry Magic have started to arrive to their respective buyers. Here's an unboxing video in Chinese so you can kinda see the contents of the package: http://t.cn/A6tkGqO6
Just giving a final notice here before the show airs. For those interested in Japanese BL, soon a new Japanese BL will air which is more of a comedy than CM but still contains some romance. May be worth checking out as it has a lot of good actors in it. Yes Yutaro (Minato in CM) will be in this show as well and coupled with a new guy. Which is kinda the reason I posted here since it's a bit of a connection. It will air on WeTv.
The name is: Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko (2021) The trailer (unsubbed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=990MQDaVCEM Explanation: Main character lives in a world that automatically creates situations similar to those in BLs mangas. So since the main character is straight he tries to avoid those situations by not standing out. In the process of doing that he ends up creating and seeing a lot of other couples around him.
It's a comedy drama so it's supposed to be a bit chaotic. The manga reads very comfortably though so it won't be difficult to keep track of the story if they just follow that.
Alright now if we keep doing crossovers we can eventually create the league of BL with Korea and Thailand (and mayby Taiwan if BL keeps strong there). I would include Japan but they kinda have their own vibe going on with BL for now.
Finally the final episode. I'm glad with the ending, this was a fun show to follow. Support-character that stood out to me most was the adorable Yamaki Hideo with his anxiety. Loved the main characters, they had good chemistry together.
Eh the trailer posted below? That one focusses on characters that aren't the main characters XD It's more like the poster pics yes. Most episodes will have mainly 3 guys and the female lead as the focus.
A story that has some heavy but realistic subjects that it tackles which I rarily see done in other jdramas in such an extensive way. The sisterhood between the women was wonderful to watch.
Episode 9 was good again and had some emotional but also lowkey funny moments at times. It's great to see the main character explore his identity in life. Always good to see the family together too ^^
