Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!

At this writing only three episodes have been released, but it's enough to see the quality of the production. It almost feels like a film, especially if you are used to Thai or Pinoy etc, BL series. This just feels more - well I want to say professional but that's not quite right-accomplished and thoughtful. From acting to cinematography to editing.

It feels substantial, even though the plot is fantasy. The office / workaday setting somehow gives the series more gravitas than most BL fantasies. The characters seem real and genuine and we cannot help being drawn in emotionally.

I realize It's a little irresponsible to write a review based on just three episodes of a 12 episode series. And I'll revisit this when the series finishes. But frankly, I couldn't wait to share my enthusiasm.

Side note: it's not clear to me whether there is an official version with English subtitles. I've seen two differently translated versions of the same episode, and there was considerable difference between them. One was more succinct, the other more fleshed out. In BL land, it's kind of the wild west when it comes to bootlegged copies and subtitles. I hope that an official version becomes widely available soon.

The strength in this drama is that the two main actors immerse themselves in the role very naturally, the director maintains their unique style of play in their drama. the office environment is an important setting that makes the story very natural and the element of speaking in the heart is the main weapon to attract the emotions of the audience, this drama comes from a comic, but this playwright has added a lot of good things, usually a drama with a gay theme will only end with the dominant eroticism side or bromance awkwardness that makes it annoying, this drama tells a love story that releases gender identity in romance. This drama is a breakthrough that can be widely accepted in the Asian global market. I hope there is a second season or a special film, of course with a mature plan and can take stories from other comics. this is the best drama of 2020.

I recommend this series to someone who wants to enjoy a really sweet and heartwarming lovestory, great acting and chemistry between actors and an amazing plot adaptation.

Getting to know about what the story was going to be all about, I found it cliched and didn't expect any better from an adaptation, but man was I thrown off!!

Generally in bl series more focus is put on explicit scenes between men rather than the plot and relationship development itself, thats why I never liked watching them that much, but this is like the complete opposite, there is this slow burn and a really beautiful love story and the best part was the way it was portrayed and blended with the main plot. Many may argue that there weren't explicit scenes so it was a let down, but honestly I didn't feel there was a need for that. The chemistry between the mls was soooo good and natural with no cheesiness whatsoever which was surprising considering its a bl series, you could tell how deep and sincere the feelings were without them actually having to show it.

Kudos to the actors, the director and the entire team of Cherry Magic for creating such a beautiful and enjoyable adaptation and I feel so lucky that I came across it .

Lately, I watched lot of BL series and I have to confess this is the best one so far. Only part that I don't like there is no kiss scene for whole episodes. Gosh I waited to see that!

I really hate romantic drama, because in my life, never dating and had bad experience of love rejection many times, and looked down on myself in 1 decade. I often run from romance and only look at the sensuality and eroticism side. This film with fresh and very interesting ideas plus professional acting, slightly opened my cold heart to imagine the beauty of love, two-way relationship dating. intelligent director who is experienced in making cheerboy films who make this drama androgynous, we do not face gender issues in love, the element of conscience which is usually rarely used in this drama can be the main weapon, the screenwriter is also great at negotiating with original comic writers and adding the storyline is important. after a long time I fell in love, I can feel them expressing feelings of love and feel the warm hug and the beauty of dating, I can watch this many times without getting bored. in the last episode I want to have a happy story maybe getting married or living together as lovers. thank you for opening my heart to try to love someone once again, this drama deserves to be a movie or a second season
