I have not seen Cherry Magic but judging from the pics and trailer, I don’t. Part of the reasons I don’t watch many Japanese BLs is because of what you just described- weird & disturbing plot.
I’m impatiently waiting for more. Like, IMPATIENTLY FRUSTRATED. Have you seen A League of Gentlemen? It’s got two of my fav actors and I’ve been wanting to continue but damn the censorship came hard & it’s like watching the empty shell with any potential BL completely sucked out. So many series have been placed on hold because of censorship.
I’m mostly not into Japanese BL because I rarely find the leads attractive. So far, only 1 appealed to me : Ida from My Love Mix Up. I never feel their chemistry and don’t find them interesting. Don’t come for me !
I read Addicted the novel as well. I had to know how it ended. Yes, it’s toxic but we also got mad fan girls for Tharntype so I’d much prefer Addicted over that shit.
In my view, up to now the best Thai series in 2023 is "My School President" and many people here and on many other…
MSP has been a solid one despite the over done school theme mainly for its lack of toxic characters and relationships. It’s another great coming of age series.
1. I Told Sunset About You. I totally forgot to add this to my profile but definitely a remarkable coming of age series with wonderful storyline & acting. I did not like its sequel (I Promised You the Moon) mainly because of how their relationship became toxic & we all know Teh did not deserve Ohaew.
2. Word of Honor: Where do I even begin? The censorship did nothing to hide the oozing chemistry and intensity of their relationship. Definitely one of THE best.
3. Your Name Engraved Herein: It broke my heart but it was beautiful too watch.

I think I should back track. Yes, both were toxic as fuck . I think I’m just more turned off by Tharntype because of the fanbase.
Absolutely agree on 2 series & 1 movie:

P.S I messaged you. I hope you’re not mad at me! 🫣
Thanks for saving me from an extra 5 hours of bullshittery. Disappointed that we came knowing nothing and we left knowing nothing.
