WHOLESOME

I dived into this with zero expectations. I remember back in October when I saw this drama trending on MDL. First look at the poster and I was like no this seems odd, but curiosity got the best out of me and turns out clicking the play button for this drama was the best decision of my life.
Cherry magic has given me so much. I can't exaggerate enough how much I love this drama. It will make you go through a rollercoaster of emotions!

The chemistry between the leads was phenomenal. I have a background of watching Thai bls. So when I say phenomenal I mean it. Everything interaction between them felt oh so pure, there was not even a single moment where I felt uneasy watching them. The way they communicated with just their facial expressions and body language was just out of this world! Even the simplest gesture of holding hands had my emotions going haywire. This show portrayed a healthy relationship in the history of the many bls that I've watched. There is no toxicity whatsoever involved. Even the supporting characters have done a very great job.

The realistic setting that they created is one of the reasons why I love this drama. The focus of this show is on pure emotions. The fluff, comedy acts as a cherry on top. This is easily one of the best rom-com of all time with a well-executed plot and no unnecessary fillers.

All the characters in this drama play a very important part. It is very easy to connect and understand these characters as they are portrayed in a very real way. Being a shy and introverted person myself, there were numerous moments where I could find myself relating to Adachi. Besides, the character development of Adachi was the best thing I have ever watched.

The OP and ED songs made from the lead's standpoint hits close to home. Please do check out the lyrics for the songs, it's bound to make you feel emotional.

Kudos to the screenwriters/director for creating a perfect balance between magic and reality in the story, and to the whole crew who worked behind the scenes to create this masterpiece.

This show has such high rewatch value that I can't even explain how many times re-watched each episode. The interesting part is that every time I rewatch, I tend to find new details I've missed before. This drama is truly a treasure for me.

Now that it is over, I'm really sad that my Thursdays are no longer going to be as exciting, but those who haven't watched yet, or are considering, please do give it a try. I can assure you this will put a big smile on your face and will make you feel really happy.

'There is no such thing as "your way" or "my way" it's our way '

An absolute gem!
Just a disclaimer that I know nothing about Go. I only started this solely based on reviews, and I'm really glad that decided to give this a try!

This drama portrays aspects of strong friendship, brotherhood, a way to fight for your dreams, and passion. I like how the characters are relatable. You could feel the joy, sadness, anger, frustration through the screen. Shi Guang and Chu Ying's friendship made me want a friend like Chu Ying for myself!

The actors have done an amazing job especially Hu Xian Xu (he has a bright future ahead in acting).
The OST is amazing, but the ending song is just chefs kiss. This was my first ever Chinese drama and also the first time I watched a drama with so many episodes. I can't believe it left me wanting more.

Last but not the least, please do give this gem some love <3
