My Beautiful Man: The Movie

Could two kings co-exist?
I am confused! I cannot say MLs are attractive (my opinion)it does not seem this story could happen in real life, I even must admit that I would not be sad if leads separated and their paths went different directions. At the same time I was watching the story and never was bored. Whereas in other bl dramas we usually have two handsome boys and it is easy to "forgive" mistakes - because they are cute... here, with one lead shown as a king and another - a slave like nerd (I checked - actor is a cutie one, it must have taken a lot of effort to make him look creepy), it take some energy and thinking to understand the real reason they are together. MLs are strengthening each other, the drama shows that heart has its own ways and real love is much deeper than appearance and conventional behavior. Chemistry is on other level, and I can believe that, as after butterflies in the stomach period, relationships must have deeper meaning, such as partner's development, discovery of new personality layers, surprises.Maybe this is not the best drama, maybe I won't rewatch it and it is not sweet, but was it worth my time? Definitely!

Rewatch value - 11 out of 10
I was hooked from the start and binge watched without initial expectations at the end - what a gem!Just 8 episodes, could be more.
Heartwarming - I almost cried the whole 8 episode. Bromance - though bl elements were in place (hugs, support, escape to the beach and then to the motel, no hesitation to help each other).
The main thing: Im totally satisfied with the end, as there was no room for anything else. If Yi Heon returned - his life wouldnt be easy, just new difficulties : gangster resolved issues he saw, yes. However: did Yi Heon participated? Did he learnt how to deal with previous situations? No, he already gave up, and most importantly: who said it would be easy to even maintain what he would receive upon returning? It is sad, but true: from his perspective nothing has changed! He didnt resolve issues which led to suicide, and if he returned he would face new level of challenges just to maintain what Deuk Pal achieved - so technically, circumstances havent changed a lot to allow him to return and continue happy life. I would be rooting for Yi Heon return in two cases: if both could return and stay friends, or if Yi Heon actively participated in his life changes under Deuk Pal mentorship - but that will be completely different drama/scenario.
I also love humor in the drama and mature resolution of issues, without questioning or plot holes. No annoying characters or toxicity without redemption.

If I left you, that doesn't mean I stopped loving you
An epic love story, probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is not even a gem, but much more, I want to be this series at least in top 10 bls of all time. Cinematography and director's work worth an Oscar. Chemistry between MLs - from the first minute - just insanely high. I saw comments that KinnPorshe is similar, but in what way? KP is well done, however for me it is only blockbuster with comedy with zero rewatch value (except SL couple?), whereas NLMG is a masterpiece, with sensual kisses, genuine pure love - the journey I want to rewatch immediately. There are no fillers or redundant characters, instead - actions and consequences. Having amazing music and scenery, colour effects are worth mentioning - reminds me of movies made in 80's style. Some scenes were so emotional, I had to pause streaming to process them, which is a rare thing for me. I only can give 10 points to series- as I cannot give more, and I dont have reasons to deduct scores. If you liked Not Me or History 3 trapped, this series is at par with them and should be regarded as BLs staples. PS Pond And Phuwin - they are such a strong couple, I cannot watch them with someone else, only together. During their scenes in the first half- due to their outstanding performance, it was obvious what they felt, so I didn't even paid. Attention to dialogues itself, they managed to deliver communication through eyes and body language!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Epic and cannot be obsolete ever
If you are in bl- this is a must watch and still relevant.It is a shame I watched it only in 2024. Nevertheless, it is still one of the best bls I have watched.
OST: I listen to osts almost daily and all of them are awesome, each time experience the same emotions and warmth as during watching the series.
Acting: probably not professionals, it was a cast of newbies. They managed to deliver natural youth awkwardness in the best way - sweet and naive, at the same time with personality growth and decision making abilities and no toxicity.
I will definitely rewatch that for music, for the story - altogether 48 episodes, and I would be happy to have 2-3 times more!
I never skip scenes, the first s with 12 ep was strange, I was not even able to understand who is the main couple at first. Second season - 36 ep, side stories were drastically reduced, and still - the story was rushed at the end. That is in itself fenomenal - bl drama, long enough, and I still was craving for more!
What caught me? Sincerity, real life situations and conflicts and their reconciliation. There is not over performance or exaggeration.
To conclude, after 100+ bls, this is the inly one, when I can say I would love to forget everything and watch again!
