My Sweet Dear (Movie) (2021)

worth watching!!

Such a good movie to watch! MSD is a really good enemy to lovers movie, I’m so impressed! A lot of Korean BL films and shows have come out this year, and MSD is one is easily one of the better ones that came out :)
Story: an interesting plot for sure, i personally liked it and it kept drawing me in. basically, the main character, chef yoon, works at this place called laura’s restaurant (or something like that) as the head chef. his job is threatened by chef choi, and get off on the wrong foot. they slowly but surely fall for each other after seeing each other out of the kitchen.
acting/cast: the acting moved me, it’s always the way the leads look in each other’s eye that i determine if they’re acting is actually good. let’s just say these two had me in a chokehold :) the cast was really good looking and made me forget they were actually acting!
music: good soundtrack!! but the one song that girl sang in english whenever anything romantic happened was B A D 😭
rewatch value: i’d actually rewatch this because it was that good and easy on my heart hahah..
overall: watch it!! it’s a good bl romance movie <33

Sweetly Simple

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

Edited on 9/8/2024: This is an updated version of my original review to match my current writing style for BL series that were edited into a movie version.

If you need something to left-up your mood after watch an overly serious/dramatical series, this movie/series is for you.

The series/movie: This was a very cute series. It has a simple, but good storyline. However, the script does have many weak elements to it. The cast did a great job portraying their characters and the cinematography was beautiful. I really enjoyed the songs that were used and felt the music really helped set the mood the scene it was used in.

The movie: They did a great job editing the episodes into one cohesive movie. They only added one random scene in the movie which did not add anything to the storyline. I think it was done to add more minutes to the movie. The only negative aspect is they cut out the behind the scenes and bloopers shown at the end of episode 8.

Random Notes:
I recommend watching the movie version because the editing made the storyline flow much better. However, you will be fine watching the series version too. If you do watch the movie, don’t forget to watch the end of episode 8 for the behind the scenes and bloopers.

******Potential Spoiler Alert******

The time span for Yoon Do Gun and Choi Jung Woo’s relationship development was too fast. They should have swapped the time span of the competition (1 month) and the time they were apart (3 months) around.

The ending had a very quick conflict resolution and felt a little rushed.

It was very weird how everyone forgave each other very quickly.
