This ep. was probably the best of the series, IMO. I just wished they hadn't gone down the "trope lane" to tell the back story (and it didn't need to take 7 out of 8 eps. to do it either). But, it got folks to watching it, so I guess it worked!

We still didn't get to see how they became such good friends. It was never told in any of the eps.

Yes.

AGREED!!!!!

Although I kind of liked ep. 6, it introduced story issues not previously brought up in the series. I'm sorry. But, to bring "new" stuff near the end of the series is either a setup for a season 2 or lazy writing. It'll be intertesting to see which is which.

Interesting! One possible answer to your last question could be this: "BL has become a $$$ making industry." AND, as an industry, the fanservice, fan meets, merch sales, concerts, and commercials may take precedent over the desire for societal change. I'm just saying!

Okay, thanks!

I'm curious! Did I miss something? Did they show in any of the flashbacks how Ji and Achi became friends? We see them meet up at Ji's meat shop and nothing on HOW they came to know each other. Does anyone know?

I agree mostly with you. However, well, the story is kind of slow. But, I'm ok with it. However, IMO, I think that if you're going to use flashbacks to tell part of the story, then probably more thought should be given to how those flashbacks are "sequenced." To me, the flashbacks didn't always seem to fit or explain the story in the present timeline, and there appeared to be gaps in the flashbacks until later episodes. Maybe this was done for some kind of dramatic or plot effect OR it could've just been "lazy writing." Who know??? But, I am interested in how it turns out.

Absolutely agree!

True. I guess it depends on what you call "good." It did have cute faces. some NSFW, and kind of touch on the Thai religion of past lives, gods and deities. But, to me, the story didn't flow as well as some of BLs. IDK, maybe it needed more eps?? And the ending didn't make sense at all, other than having the mains reunite.

Now, this is an opinion I can agree on. I never said I liked KP, just that it might have deserved a similar or higher rating. It appears that the MDL rating is just a "popularity" contest. 🤣

KinnPorsche for one. But, honestly, it's like comparing apples to grapes.

I'm curious as to whether the MDL rating of 8.6 is actually how it calculates out to be. Yeah, yeah, it's a cute plot with lots of action and cute actors. Yeah, I know it's nothing more than fictional entertainment. And, it has the whole reincarnation thing going on (which I understand is important in Thai culture). But, 8.6??? I don't get it! Series that were actually much better (in every way possible) than The Sign didn't obtain an 8.6. Oh well, to each his own.

Oh, I didn't know that! Thanks!

IDK?

Postponing the final ep. because they didn't get enough for the fan meet live is pretty pathetic. I hope that really wasn't the only reason.

Agreed!

I actually like this adaptation of Cherry Magic. I also liked the Japanese version, too. Is one better than the other? IDK. They're both different representations of the same manga. I personally think that the Japanese version probably is sticking closer to the manga than is the Thai version. But that's ok. The Thai version is simply putting its "spin" on the Japanese work.

IDK why folks want to compare the Thai remakes of Japanese , Taiwanese or Korean series (or vice versa)? Just as their cultures are different, their representations of BLs will be different. I'm not sure comparing them is actually even needed.
