This has been the most ambitious BL project so far, with 16 episodes of 90 minutes each, and I can promise you will not get bored once along this fantastic journey. It is a fairy tale about a teddy bear turned human and furniture being able to speak, but it is so much more than this, and it is certainly not silly at all. The series addresses a lot of issues on the personal level like mental illness, greed and jealousy, but also issues on a social and political level of contemporary Thailand, which are universal at the same time. "The Miracle of Teddy Bear" is a milestone in the history of the BL genre with respect to cinematography, writing, directing, and editing, so from now on there is the era before and after ”Teddy Bear”. There is only one 2022 series that I have watched whose production quality can compare with ”Teddy Bear”, and that is ”To Sir, with Love”, which is a lakorn with BL elements, while I would categorize "Teddy Bear" as BL with lakorn elements. The acting of the leads, Inn Sarin (Taohu, the "teddy bear") and Job Thuchapon (Nut, its owner) is among the best I've seen in a BL series, and Um Apasiri's (Nut's mother) display of a person suffering from Alzheimer's is heartbreaking at times.
