Hello!
Hope your day is going well.
So I love Kieta Hatsukoi. And am very nervous about the thai adaptation because I love it so much. And you've talked about your views on that here. So I was wondering...
Do you feel the same way about the thai adaptation of Cherry Magic?
I've been rewatching it and although I like TayNew and think they could do a good job at playing these characters, I'm still not sure. I don't know if I should even be making comparisons but I'm gonna do it anyway, because it'd be impossible not to. The voice overs are so funny and endearing in the japanese version that I don't know if the thai version will be on the same level. And also the side characters, I love Rokkaku. Anyway...
What are your thoughts?
Thanks💜
Hello, again!
So, I guess I'll come public and say that I have some qualms with Cherry Magic, which are similar to my issues with Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But To Kiss! Both shows ask us to care about the role of sexual intimacy in human relationships, and yet both shows end up being super precious about it.
In Mr. Unlucky, they don't kiss! I think it's mostly fine because Fukahara learns that he likes Shinomiya in a real way, but still...it's in the name! I think it would have been nice to see him kissing on his own terms, especially since we know Sota Ryosuke is down after watching Grand Guignol.
In Cherry Magic, I didn't really like that the movie had Adachi still running around with the powers. I think the movie covered some really great ground and topics, but that show gets caught between the social awkwardness that Adachi has and the sexual tension it wants us to feel from Kurosawa. It doesn't exactly want to release it, because that means we'll lose the powers and all the conceits that brings.
So, for the GMMTV attempt at this, I'm actually interested in what Tay and New do with this because we know they can and will play into the sexual chemistry between their characters, and I think there's an opportunity to deal with that properly here in a way that the Japanese show didn't do.
Also, because Thai shows tend to be longer, they might adapt more of the source material than the Japanese adaptation.

Is it really a Japanese BL if one of the guys isn't doing a full on trackstar run to the other?

kurosawa and naoya tho both noticing the discomfort so they try to be as gentle as possible with the kiss, and it's so different but it stems from the same place, pure kindness, for kurosawa it hurt so much to do sth like that in the context of a beer game where his peers could ridicule them both but adachi could hear in its entirety kurosawa's pain, and naoya just keeps making me insane he's so goddamn attentive he sees it all even tho he doesn't really imagine where kota's excitement comes from and even tho kota threw himself at him it does not mean other things might come as easily to kota and naoya clearly feels like he got overexcited with the kiss like imagine falling so fast for someone and it being so genuine because kota's excitement over his bad luck being gone is ofc genuine and naoya seems like he has been hoping for someone truly genuine after so long, and i lost my point here but i think naoya and kurosawa falling for genuine people as both people that have put up personas for the sake of other's comfort over their own entire selves and being so gentle and patient and kind about it, about kota and adachi, it's goddamn beautiful, it's an ode to giving ourselves the opportunity to slowly open up to the world after feeling lonely or being alone and forgetting to connect with people like they keep choosing kindness despite it all, despite it all
