This drama was surprisingly really good

When I first started watching my tooth your love I didn't have high hope because I did find the first couple of episodes a bit slow but alas I really started to get into it once the main characters started to show more of their chemistry and boy do they have a lot it.

I was so impressed by how much chemistry the two main characters betrayed, within the last couple of episodes it felt like they were a really life couple from how they were acting. Theres a lot of 'simple kissing' just little pecks here and there which real couples would do but its hard to find that in BL's sometimes without it having slow-mos, close-ups, soft music playing etc on all their kisses.

Within the series there are real topics touched one such as trauma and how someone might help you through it (I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say that).

I was a little disappointed with the side couple as their romance story basically had no screen time and at the end it was hard to even conclude if there was anything romantic going on between them. I feel like as the second lead couple they should've had something else going for them. Secondly, I thought the story went a little side tracked in episode 11 and had an issue within it that either didn't need to happen or should've happened earlier and resolved a bit better, I feel like it happened a little later than it should've.

Overall, I definitely recommend that you give this show a watch I looked forward to it a lot every week and I am sad that it's finished. The two main actors have amazing chemistry both on and off screen and I hope to see them in upcoming BL dramas.

I'm obsessed!!!

I really love OffGun's chemistry and was excited to see their new project together. I was pleasantly surprised when I was coming back every week to watch it for the excitement of the story and not just for their chemistry (which was still absolutely amazing btw defo the cherry on top). The second couple DanYok, which I haven't seen these actors together before (don't know if they were in another drama together) their chemistry was off the roof. I really loved how their story was real, mistakes were made, feelings were hurt but isn't that with all relationships? I loved their development.
Anyways onto SeanWhite (OffGun). The story of White going undercover in his identical twins life, Black to discover who put him in a coma really kept me on my toes. To me it was quite obvious who beat Black up but it was still portrayed in a really good way. This was definitely a slow burn/ enemies to lovers (I LOVE THAT) as Sean and Black do not get along, so White acting as Black made both of them butt heads at the start but alas they get their happy ending.
This covered some really heavy topics as well, not just your fluff action you get in other BL's, this portrayed fighting for rights of those who get discriminated against and holding those high in power accountable for breaking the rules. Sean, Gram, Yok, Tod and Black (well White) are apart of a 'rebel' group which try to expose these people by doing various stunts to gain social awareness and to put a stop to their illegal businesses. All the people in the group have good story for why they are doing this so it really brings the watcher more joy when they succeed in their little adventures.
Overall, amazing show, really eye-opening and the romance was absolutely amazing, not too much where is dilutes the action of the story but enough to be screaming internally when watching the cute moments (and trust me there is a lot)

This drama was definitely not what I was expecting but I was far from disappointed!!!

My beautiful man (Utsukushii Kare) is a very unique story, which at the start I thought I was not going to enjoy but throughout the show I growed to love the storyline and romance between Hira and Kiyoi.

It is from Hira's perspective, who is a 17 year old boy that just wants to be invisible, especially in School (the main setting at the start of the drama), he is very shy and has a stuttering speech when talking to his classmates. He seemed to live a very boring life alongside his interest in photography. That was until new classmate Kiyoi enters his classroom and he immediately falls for him, but not in the way the way you would think. Hira seems to see Kiyoi as a somewhat king and treats him like it, getting him drinks, doing his errands, just so that he can be in his presence. This is why this drama has stuck with me for quite some time because their relationship is something I have never seen portrayed in BL before (and I have watched quite a few). Also at the start I thought their characters lacked any personality what's so ever due to their weird relationship but throughout the drama I came to the realisation that both Hira and Kiyoi are very complex and there is a lot going on behind the surface, which showcased through their rocky romance.

Yes Hira's obsession for Kiyoi and putting him on a pedestal in his life was a little weird and at the start I wasn't a fan of Hira's character, thinking he was a pushover and needed to stand his ground, but there are people like that out there (I do think there might be mentally something there with Hira) and I'm not going to spoil it but his character does get better. If you are thinking of watching it but have been put off by what people have said this is your sign to give it a try I don't think you'll regret it, its in my top 15 and I will definitely be rewatching it.

just amazing

The concept of this short drama touched on a topic that no other BL's (to my knowledge) have discussed and I absolutely loved it. It showcases a man who has borderline personality disorder, could also be called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) , due to a traumatic event that took place when he was 5 years old. This has caused him to have two personalities which he switches between throughout the show. One of which is called Noah, seen as the protecter of the two, he is very cold and aggressive and pretty badass if you don't mind me saying. He makes sure that no one hurts Yu Shi, the other personality, that acts like his 5 year old self due to the trauma at the time. He meets Wu Zheng who takes care of him and grows to like him. I'm not going to spoil it but I was very intruiged by how their relationship was going to work while watching the show. Yes the show has some parts where it seems choppy and confusing, however, I took this as a way to highlight the confusing nature of Noah/Yu Shi's life. There is a lot of things that Wu Zheng does not know about Noah/Yu Shi and that's probably because he doesn't even know it himself because of his trauma. So this to me seemed nothing like a flaw and actually felt more like a depiction of the thought processing of both Wu Zheng and Noah/Yu Shi, which I thought was very clever.

This show seemed very real to me, no parts where I thought this couldn't be possible, instead it made me become more educated on how someone with DID may live or have a relationship with someone. If you are thinking of watching the show this is your sign to watch it. It is within my top 5 Bl's of all time and believe me I have watched a lot.

This is a must watch!!

I absolutely loved this show. It was short, simple, unique and the height difference omg it was so cute!! The romance to me was a slow burn and they portrayed this really well with having sweet moments throughout the show to keep your attention.

Chu Sang Woo (the nerdy computer science junior) is a bit of a savage and I was totally here for it, he didn't stand down from the popular people and I really liked how it showed how serious Chu Sang Woo was about his work, which in turn was a main reason why the romance started in the first place. Jang Jae Young (the laidback senior majoring in design) at the start was not my favourite character because he used people like Chu Sang Woo to do his work in school just because he was popular which really frustrated me because I've seen a lot of people like that when I was in school and none of them were nice lol. But once the romance started to unfold I saw a change in his personality and how charing he was towards Chu Sang Woo made me start to really love his character, he really reminded me of Xiang Hao Ting from HIStory 3: make your days count which is my all time favourite BL so that says a lot.

It was only 8 episodes but I thought the pace of the romance wasn't too quick because it was an enemies to lovers drama, which I love. Overall a really loved the storyline and the height difference was a huge yes from me.

Hira will forever be Kiyoi's number 1 fan

Season 2 follows the life of Hira and Kiyoi as a couple when they start living together and the obstacles they face along the way.

My likes of the series:
- I really loved the first season of my beautiful man because I thought their relationship was so different from any other BL's I've watched. This was a great and realistic follow up of the first season and I really liked how more affectionate they are towards each other.
-Kiyoi was a lot less cold and distant towards Hira and really fought for their relationship which I found really cute
-Just seeing them doing everyday stuff was so funny and cute to watch!
- Thanks to Hira I now know how to say 'sorry' in Japanese (he says it a lot....like a lot lol)

My dislikes:
-I wish there was a little more affection from both of them but maybe they are saving this for the movie that's coming out soon!

Hira as a character:
- I find his character extremely interesting because he really does think that he is Kiyoi's fan and doesn't seem to grasp that he can be with someone like Kiyoi. It is honestly sad to see him feel as though he is unworthy of love :(
-He does show character development in this and I hope that this continues when they release the new movie!!

Don't walk RUN to watch this show


May contain spoilers
This show is a depression curer... I'm not even joking. If you love an enemies to lovers drama which includes the mafia and some great ass acting and storyline then this show is definitely for you .

There are three couples that this show follows: KinnPorsche, VegasPete and KimChay, all which have a very different plot (my fav being VegasPete).

It generally follows Porsche's life as he meets Kinn unexpectedly, the middle son of a mafia leader who's within the 'major family' which causes him to start working for this mafia as a bodyguard. Vegas is the eldest son of the same mafia but he is apart of the 'minor family' (which because of this he is a bit jealous of Kinn and he also has anger issues lol). Pete is a bodyguard of the major family and mainly looks after the eldest son of the major family (who is a bit crazy but will defo make you laugh at some point throughout the show). Both of these couples do have quite steamy times so watch at your own risk. Kim is the youngest son of the major family who is also a famous singer. Porchay, whom is Porsche's younger brother is one of Kim's fans and asks him for some guitar lessons and they hit it off from there. Their story is a LOT more tame (probably because the actor who plays Porchay- Barcode is only 17 so obviously nothing too romantic will be happening compared to the other couples).

All of these couples story all merge into one big plot it is not where they are three separate plots. I don't want to spoil it any further by talking about their romances in detail because that will give the whole plot away!!

Although it is not just about the romance!! The plot itself is very interesting, there is some comedy bits, plot twists and definitely a lot of action.

I will recommend this BL series probably until the day I die but watch at your own risk because once you do your expectation for any other BL series will be through the roof.
