Is this even a bl???

This is a repeat on how trailers do be misleading!!!!
I am now going unto the seventh episode of this series and i am yet to see a spark or hint of romance between Q and sunshine
And is it me or am i the only one that recognizes that rain and sunshine can never get back together????
Like it is super obvious that everytime sunshine makes every possible person that kinda hinders their relationship disappear,) rain either forgets he exists, move on to another person, or never existed or become friends with benefits ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️
Sunshine cant be this dumb to recognise this simple fact !!!
I guarantee most ppl who watch this is confused as to where the romance is and me too
I would mostly call this a bromance if anything
Like is Q and sunshine are going to end up together???
Because i am not seeing anything that hinting that they are going to be together
Man it is like i am walking down a long narrow path and it is never ending
Like it is so clear sunshine is not the brightest bulb everyone knows this and let me be real
The time when he erased rains ex boyfriend now tell me if this maths is mathsing
So when rain broke up with sunshine he told him that he was in a vulnerable moment when he met sunshine and he needed someone at the time
Now note, that the peron who made him vulnerable was rains ex
So common sense, when he erased rains ex
What do u think will happen ???
He would not know sunshine obviously ??
Because rain would not go to mins bar where he would meet him and he would not vulnerable
At this point he is just randomly choosing ppl to erase
My advice to him (even Q said it himself) move on he is never going to go back to you get it through ur head!!! Just imagine he is doing all this stuff ( leaving potential dads without their child in ep 2, changing civilization ep 6 etc) just for one guy who does not like him anymore ????

Stunning Visuals Can't Mask Shallow Plot

I really get confused when it comes to the rating of any Cdrama. I haven't watched many but the majority I found rating should be at least 1.5 points less. this drama is no different. the only good thing here is super sexy Jerry Yan, oh yes also the cinematography. I am halfway, and now keeping it on hold as it's very boring. I will complete it sometime later but now I can't keep it going anymore.

Positive Aspects:

1. Jerry Yan's charismatic performance.
2. Impressive cinematography.
3. Beautiful locations, especially scenes on top of the mountain.

Negative Aspects:

1. Lack of character development.
2. Shallow relationships and lack of depth.
3. Absence of chemistry between the leads.
4. FL's lack of likability and depth.
5. Missing backstory and logic behind character actions.
6. Supporting characters' dullness. (though there aren't any significant ones)
7. There is no intriguing story, just some sexual tension between two leads that runs on for half of the drama.

Overall Assessment:
The drama falls short in various aspects. While it excels in visuals and Jerry Yan's performance, it lacks character development, relationship depth, and chemistry between the leads. The main female character's lack of likability and depth can be attributed to weak writing. The supporting characters also fail to engage the viewer. The drama's potential might have been better realized in a shorter format like a 2-hour movie rather than a series.

Taking the relationship step by step

I have now watched half of this series and I really love it! Their chemistry is amazing and even though the relationship is taking its steps slower than usually ( At least I feel like that. Could also be because the episodes are longer than usually) the story is still just as catchy. Time really flies when you are watching this series and I promise you will keep smiling like an idiot. The chemistry between Pat and Jeng is something that I have not seen in a while. Their eyes and gestures tell a lot about how they fell towards each other. I can't wait to see more of these heartwarming scenes between them. I am hoping that also Jaab can find someone who loves him whether it is Jen or not. To end this review I need say that Jeng and Jaab are the best siblings I have ever seen in a series. You can see that they care and love each other. Jaab is absolutely gorgeous btw.

Sometimes it is the best to take small steps to reach something big and beautiful.

Started with a bang and ended with explosion and confusion

PLEASE DONT BELIEVE THOSE 9.0 reviews! this drama is horrible! started interesting but slowly got abusive and manipulative.

1) the female lead is plain dumb! She tries come up with her own plans thinking they will work and doesnt consider danger as an issue , like she is naive in a lot of situations . She probably one of the dumbest female leads also getting manipulated the male lead.
2) The male lead fail to communicate and trust the female lead, like if he has just told the female lead maybe they could og work together.. It was the male lead bailing the female lead ass' every single time! Also he is very controlling a bit too sensual?
3) The bad guy is played pretty well where you hate him. He was abusived by his father which made him turn into a two face person .Like seemingly innocent but also a psychopath

The only good thing was the steamy romance but too much and always forced feels a little to much .

GMMTV Dropped The Ball and I'm over it

First off I adore TAYNEW and was thrilled they were returning in another BL especially something so iconic as Cherry Magic. I loved Kurosawa and Adachi in the Japanese Version. Even though its TAYNEW I dont think they can redo it better but they can make it more suitable for them.

However after 2 episodes aired on GMMTV YOUTUBE CHANNEL it was pulled due to copyright issues so i have dropped this series even if somehow it is re-released in the states I will never watch this.

GMMTV is to blame entirely. They are an established production company and they should have known they didn't have the rights to air this series outside of Thailand.
Yes I realize it can be watched with a VPN but why should anyone have to. Because GMMTV messed up.
Are we in for same for their other Japanese Adaptations (OSSAN'S LOVE with Earth Mix) or( MY LOVE MIX UP with Gemini Fourth)

Apologies from GMMTV ring a bit hollow since as a company that's been around and produced so many series (many of them BL) should have been more diligent before even airing this series

So I'll stick to the original Cherry Magic and the recently released Anime Version from Japan. So yet another Thai Adaptation of an established series falls short because a production company that failed to cross all it's T's and dot all of it's i's.

Not the typical fluff

I really love it when I get to watch a drama that offers more than fluff.

Maybe some would find the first few episodes to be a little slow and the FL to be a little depressing character but it will all be understandable as the story unfolds and viewers see how hard life has treated her. Deng Jiajia is giving a very good performance as the FL. She emits different feelings for the different stages in her life. Before the hardships, her eyes looked carefree even when she was beginning to worry. During her saddest phase, her eyes looked dull and defeated. And in the current timeline of the drama, her eyes looked fearful but determined.

Darren Chen as the ML is a case of kind to the FL but cold to others. But unlike the usual overbearing CEO trope, he was already kind to the FL even from the start of the drama. Also unlike the usual trope of unapproachable boss, he looks gentle and bubbly to his coworkers. He is kind to people who are kind to the FL but straightforward and a little ruthless to those who are not. He is a silent guardian type who would be happy if she is happy. He is exactly the type of person the FL needs in order to move forward and grow.

I am liking their interactions so far. I liked that the ML can draw out smiles from the FL, that she is comfortable with him and slightly guarded to others. I also like that they seem to be able to understand and heal each other's traumas.

The second CP also seems to be cute and uncomplicated so far. I immediately felt that they truly like each other and that this might be an ideal coupling.

A little odd but fun to watch

This is not my usual cup of tea, but I’ve got a thing for crime dramas at the moment so I’m here for it. The premise is really engaging and despite the upbeat OST you can tell it will handle some serious topics. I look forward to seeing where they take it.

The actors are funny and engaging and it helps you look past some of the other downfalls. One that I think is important to mention though is that the FL is supposed to be younger than the ML and you can really tell she’s not, for me that’s a little hard to overlook and is a bad casting choice in my opinion. It also makes the chemistry between them awkward I think, at least for the first couple of episodes. Hopefully that’s something that improves as the story goes on.

Though be warned, if you’re not a fan of seeing the “good guys” bend the law this probably isn’t for you.

THE DRAMA IS SO GOOD THAT YOU WOULD PROBABLY LOVE TO WATCH ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

THE DRAMA IS SO GOOD THAT YOU WOULD PROBABLY LOVE TO WATCH ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!
From the first episode up to the current episode, you would literally love it. The character's, the place, the charms and even the plot are aesthetically very pleasing. You would get so in love with the character's, they really did well. Even if it's still ongoing, you would literally love them. I almost got fainted because of too much emotions I've been experiencing through this drama. It is very eye catching, the scenes and all are all eye pleasing. I am lost for words but it is really good.

Tacky and cringey yet a very like-warm one-time watch.

I understand that this is a mindless comedy but still making it a bit sensible wouldn't hurt you.
Why does the Female Lead have such a nasal voice? N y is the drama so hell-bent on role/gender reversal and misandrous. I have recently observed K-drama tend to be misandrous for no reason.
How about before u start ur version of feminism.. u start accepting foreign-origin people working/living in ur society (specially from third-world country). U always portray them as needy victims and treat them as aliens who r very different from u. Why don't u start with that flaw? Orels atleast make women equal to men not degrading either of the genders.
There are many more quirks in this drama but I would just like to enlighten u about these ones first. Overall would call it a one-time mindless watch drama with corny or cringey comedy.. yet somehow okay to watch.

Waste of potential

A drama about a powerful woman who can kick ass? Love it. This drama? Hated it.

Empress Ki had me singing praises until episode 6. The actions of the characters made no sense, all because the writers were too lazy to write a decent plot. Why couldn't the heroes simply kill the villains within the first 3 episodes? Why let them live and continue to wreak havoc?

This drama simply made no sense, and it was draining to see the protagonists suffer while the antagonists continued to thrive all because the writers were too weak to have them killed off.

I was promised this would be like Yona of the Dawn. If you want a well-written historical fiction narrative with a strong female protagonist, watch/read Yona of the Dawn instead.
