The most beautiful and heartfelt BL that has left a permanent mark on me.

This show is breathtaking and honesty is a masterpiece filled with happiness, a perfect story, and is a truly unique piece of art.

Story 10/10:
You will not find a more heartbreaking and meaningful love story out there. The whole show leaves us with this incredibly impactful bittersweet feeling that leaves us remembering this show beautifully. To begin we’re presented with a simple plot of a teddy bear coming to life as a human. This teddy bear named Tofu is owned by Nut, who we learn is a very troubled soul. Tofu pretends to be an amnesiac so that he can be by Nut’s side, as his teddy bear Tofu is filled with love and admiration for his owner.

The story progression and character development is phenomenal as Nut has to learn to love this amnesiac who’s suddenly living in his house, whilst dealing with his own internal and external struggles. Tofu is a beam of light, the very personification of a teddy bear who’s life mission is to make Nut happy. The story progresses their relationship as Nut starts to heal his wounds with Tofu by his side. The more Nut allows Tofu into his heart, the more his trauma and relationships with other people start to heal. Not only does Nut learn to love Tofu, but Tofu allows Nut to love and accept himself.

The show presents us with many realistic and complex plots such as homophobia, the difficulties of mental health and Alzheimer’s, grief, abuse and overall the struggles that come with being a human. We are able to deeply understand all of the characters and watch as they develop due to the effects Tofu has. As the story goes on we begin to realize that Tofu Is not meant to stay, he is truly a miracle that blessed everyone’s life’s. As we advance we learn of Nut’s first love who gifted Nut his teddy bear (Tofu) . Tarn (his first love) was taken away from him due to the homophobic nature of Thailand at the time. We find out Tarn is in a coma and we learn alongside Tofu that Tarn’s love for Nut is what created the miracle that is Tofu. Tofu is an amalgamation of Nut’s desires, feelings of love and regrets. This is why Tofu is able to fix all of Nut’s problems and bless him. In the end of the show we watch as Tofu sacrifices himself to save Tarn, as Tofu is not meant to stay. In the final scenes of the show, Tofu returns to being a teddy bear and forever loves Nut. Nut is able to move on and live a happy life with Tarn and his mother, however he always loves Tofu and always holds him in his heart.

The details and execution of this show was phenomenal, with the foreshadowing of Tofu’s fate shown through Nut being a screenwriter who writes real and tragic love stories. Then as we see in the end Nut writes Tofu’s story and is able to keep his legacy. Absolutely incredible writing and a story that stuck true to its meanings and didn’t try to satisfy the audience but gave us a unique and special story.

Acting/Cast 10/10:
I could not imagine another cast. ‘In’ truly felt like a human teddy bear, his reactions and emotions felt very animated and happy. He wore his emotions on his face, as if he never learnt how to mask his feelings. He truly encapsulated the expressions of a teddy bear and what it would feel like to suddenly be a human. Not only this but as the story goes on we see him progressively get better at being able to hide his emotions and have more human reactions to things. ‘Job’ felt incredibly realistic, I felt every single emotion he displayed so close to my heart. He truly was able to create a story solely with his acting. I felt when he was angry or when he looked at Tofu it genuinely felt as though it was with love. You could feel all of his trauma behind his eyes, but you could also feel it all being lifted away when he was comforted by Tofu. All of the other actors supported beautifully and helped bring the show alive.

Music 10/10:
The Opening and the OST all are perfect for the themes of a bittersweet show. The music was usually soft with an acoustic guitar, piano and played at a slower tempo. This added a nostalgic and temporarily happy feeling to everything. The music was so happy yet it felt like it wasn’t going to last, like you’re looking through a book of memories. I especially enjoyed in the last episode where Nut sings the opening song to Tofu after he passed. This scene was the most heartbreaking to me, as a viewer I didn’t even think about how the lyrics were really foreshadowing how the story would play.
“How long will it last if our hearts are still together?
The day with you by my side, at the end we had to part 
This place has meaning with many memories
Stay with me, stay right here
The day when I'm with you is the day we meet again”

Rewatch Value 10/10: I would recommend this show to anyone and can’t wait to show and rewatch it with many people. I feel I will always remember this show and the impact it had on me. I know I will be rewatching it many times as I grow and remember this beautiful story.

Overall 10/10:
‘The Miracle Of A Teddy Bear’ is truly a special story, that cannot be replicated. I truly loved the way it made me feel while I was watching it and how it continues to make me feel. I can’t recommend it enough and hope that it will also have an impact on other people. I think the ending was extremely thought through and could not have gone any other way. I think this show shows us that it’s never too late to be happy, and that life will always bring us miracles. Tofu changed everyone’s lives and truly made Nut happy. He was a miracle. He continues to love Nut as a Teddy bear and Nut is now able to live his life without regrets. In the end we see the characters truly start to believe that Tofu was a teddy bear who came to bring about happiness. Nut always comforts his teddy bear and never ever forgets about Tofu and will always lives
with him in his heart. Tofu was not just a dream, his impact forever lives on. His love will always stays.
