Cherry Magic (2023) – Season 1 Episode 8 Recap & Review

The Contract

Episode 8 of Cherry Magic begins with Tanaka giving Pai and Rock a restaurant voucher for their OTT. She is not interested as people will tease them together but Rock convinces her. Jinta wants to propose to Min who suddenly shows up. He gifts Jinta a Lego bouquet to celebrate his new book.

Achi and Karan go on a date and have a good time but Karan wants to hold his hand like other couples. At the same time, Tanaka joins Pai and Rock as a special team lunch. Rock is disappointed and runs out where he spots Achi and Karan. Achi quickly denies that they are dating which Karan accepts silently.

However, after Rock leaves, Achi explains their company policy on dating and how he doesn’t want to get Karan fired. Karan is touched and declares he would choose Achi if he had to. They hold hands but Tanaka spots them.

While building the bouquet, Jinta loses a flower and feels guilty since Min bought him an expensive gift. However, Min reveals that it is a botched delivery he took responsibility for. This hurts Jinta as he thinks Min may not feel the same way for him.

Back at the office, Duj and Pai overhear Karan and Achi tell Tanaka that they are dating. Unfortunately, Tanaka insists they sign a no-dating contract as their feelings or potential break up may hamper their work. Karan asks for a chance and makes a deal – he will 3 million in sales for the month or resign.

At home, Jinta wants to throw the gift when Min shows up with the lost flower piece. Jinta mind reads that Min climbed ladders and balconies to get to the piece and is touched. They complete the bouquet together and Min finds everything Jinta says as cute.

Karan works hard day and night and Achi helps him. However, Karan is happy to do the extra work because it is for Achi. But it is not enough and he only has a week to bring in 2 more million. He decides to contact Ms. Kem, the client who had hit on him 7 years ago. Of course, she gloats and makes him entertain her.

He does it all but it is not enough as she makes him kneel and apologise. Achi tries to stop him but Tanaka intervenes. He tears the contract and refuses to partner with Kem for insulting his employee. He also tears the dating contract much to the couple’s delight. He confesses that he doesn’t support their relationship but he won’t stop them. 

While heading home, Achi reveals that he too would resign if Karan had to. Karan is happy with the turn their relationship has taken and sings a song in his head. Achi joins him and Karan is shocked. Achi says he hummed aloud and Karan just believes him. Karan decides to go above and beyond to make Achi happy because he cannot read his mind while Achi knows everything about him. This makes Achi guilty and he tells Karan that he can read minds at the end of Cherry Magic Episode 8.


The Episode Review

Cherry Magic Episode 8 dives deeper into Karan and Achi’s relationship and was very much needed. It reveals that Karan’s love is not just a crush but real. And those who may think Achi doesn’t reciprocate on the same level can finally breathe a sigh of relief because he clearly feels the same way for Karan. Points to Tanaka for defending Karan and not being corporate evil.

Min and Jinta’s relationship is pretty cute as well. Sure Min did not go out of his way to get the gift but it is the thought that counts. Hope Pai and Rock also get some screentime together because they are just so wholesome and adorable.
