Mi Hombre Hermoso 2 (2023)

ТО что готова смотреть снова и снова

Я очень ждала второй сезон. Спасибо сценаристам за сохранение реалистичности персонажей и сюжета. Ребята которые выросли, но не изменились. Они вместе потихонечку растут, ищут правильный, а порой и нет, подходы к друг другу. Решают проблемы с самооценкой, смотреть и действовать сообща и поддерживая друг друга. Низкая самооценка нашего героя никуда не исчезла и это тоже реалистично, так как такое не исправить и не изменить в короткое время. Ему нужна помощь и его партнер начинает действовать и помогать двигаться дальше. Многие смотря наверное подумают - какой лайт. Я не соглашусь. Актеры проделали шикарную работу в показе своих героев. Их эмоций, болей, радости и любви. Мысли ребят, когда идет игра только лицом. Эта химия между героями. Отличная история и главное - не затянута, что очень важно. Всем приятного просмотра, кто не смотрел.

Kiyoi broke my heart

You know...halfway through the first season, I thought I hated this. thought it was a waste of time and another useless 10 sec BL drama about a boy who needs to love and stand up for himself and an asshole who needs to be punted into the sun.

Like, what was the point of this damn story? Hira needed to separate from Kiyoi and they both needed therapy to deal with their issues before even attempting to tie another person to their respective baggage.

However, with the addition of the 2nd half of s1 and the 4 episodes that are s2, you get the full picture of the story that's being told. You stop seeing Kiyoi as this perfect being (much like you had been from Hira's perspective) and you see the vulnerable boy who just wants to be loved and have someone to come home to.

It isn't perfect. It isn't about fluffy love and it's miraculous ability to cure all ailments. it's about 2 incredibly mismatched people who want different things from their relationship and each other yet neither is able to live without the other as they both fill the void left in them by the world so they choose to exist together.

Kiyoi needs love and attention and Hira is a voyeur in the world. He feels most comfortable on the outside, looking in and basking in the glory of Kiyoi's greatness.

In the end, the relationship is still incredibly unhealthy because Kiyoi is never going to be loved by Hira the way he needs. does he appreciate the fawning and adoration? yes, it was what drew him to Hira in the first place but that same adoration has now become a massive bridge separating Kiyoi from Hira.

A relationship is meant to be a partnership but when one's a God and the other feels best suited to worship him, how are they meant to grow together?

the ending did promise a step towards a change in the flow of their relationship with Hira finding an outlet for his skills and energy that places him in proximity to Kiyoi as an equal and Kiyoi realizing that simply being in a relationship isn't enough to make Hira his boyfriend and he'd need to be intentional with his words and actions...but we'll never know how things will work out

(this is for both s1 and s2 cause I don't think you can watch or review just the 1st part of this story as it isn't complete.)

A shorter, sweeter season 2 of an addictive master-servant BL Story

The story felt less dark and twisted than in the previous season of the drama. The master-servant relationship between the main leads remains very platonic and soft even though there are some interesting characters development happening. It keeps being a very addictive show to follow.

Hagiwara Riku (as the reserved and unconfident protagonist) continues carrying the show with his strong acting capabilities. However, Yagi Yusei (his counterpart in the relationship) is still lacking a bit in terms of transmitting candid emotions. Some of their scenes together, while very sweet, could have been better with an even stronger alchemy. The writing was really key in helping conveying feelings to the viewer.

The opening song is really great and catchy, and the overall tone of the show is much lighter as we move to a less angsty part of the relationship which is more established.

I would recommend this to people that loved the first season and that wanted to see more development in the relationship of the 2 main leads. Be aware that this second season being even shorter than the first one, it will likely leave you wanting more...

Better Than Part One In Some Ways

In a lot of ways, this sequel is stronger than part 1, but there are also things that you can look past in part 1 that you cannot in this sequel. The highlight of the series for me was getting the insight into how Kiyoi feels about Hira by seeing things from his POV. I enjoyed seeing them in a relationship (something that we did not get to see in part 1).

Overall, I felt like progress was made in their relationship - transitioning slowly from the servant/master dynamic to a more rounded relationship with outwardly reciprocation of care and affection. The frustrations come from seeing how deeply rooted Hira is in his low value of himself and how that has caused him to become a ‘toxic observer’. He’s so content with just observing and serving that he doesn’t realise that by idolising Kiyoi and essentially not letting him past the barriers he’s put up for himself; that he’s hurting Kiyoi who is looking for something deeper and wants to be treated as a human and as his partner. What Hira is doing is a form of withholding and it can be just as hurtful and toxic as emotional abuse. I understand why he’s like this. It’s a form of self defence that he has developed throughout his life to protect himself but it’s no less frustrating to watch and no doubt painful and damaging to others because of how acutely unaware of it he is.

Love the improvement

okay now this season is definitely much much better than the 1st season. both the main role in this one are showing that they're much comfortable with each other which makes me feel that they're getting better with the acting. i see the grow on the character and the plot. also i see something that makes me suprised.

in the previous season i know that the main character are cherish and being cherished but i cant really defying it. but in this one i feel both the main character are exponentially grow a lot and they find ways to open up about themself and solve their problem

but also, if you like a masochist paired with tsundere. this one is for you

All the Ingredients that made SEASON 1 GREAT

only a handful of BL's have had successful second seasons and My Beautiful Man seems on track to follow suit. episode one was STELLAR.. a lot of callbacks to season 1 and it has all the magic of season 1 as well.. fantastic job by the team. This show remains the best Japanese BL I've ever seen and I think so many things about this season is reminding me of why I fell in love with these two character.. both of them are flawed people but they make each other better in various ways. I look forward to Hira hopefully realizing he is worthy of Kiyoi and I look forward to seeing Kiyoi opening up even more and not bottling everything up inside which he does a lot.

Strange but it works

The story continues the two's interesting relationship after high school Hira is still his very awkward but cute self who's internal thoughts scare me sometimes, Kiyoi is still his temperamental self, and their still both bad at communication. But even after all of that I still love them both. The story is just how the two of them navigate their love life because of each other's understanding that they both have faults making both characters mostly Kiyoi have patience with Hira. Hira is still Battling his thoughts of being unlovable or not normal. Yes Hira is a bit strange but when you think about it the only thing that makes him strange is how inhuman he thinks he is so he doesn't allow himself to have simple interactions with other people. Kiyoi gets frustrated by this because Hira lets it get in the way of a lot of things but nonetheless he is patient and tries helping Hira with this by reminding him he is human when Hira gets the idea he shouldn't do something because he does not fit in. and Kiyoi is still trying to adjust to Hira's attachment and admiration for him because he does not know how to respond. Their relationship is strange, complicated, and unique compared to other bl troupes which makes their relationship interesting and overall fun to watch because it can either work out perfectly or end in a total disaster.

Healing from Toxicity!

I love how short the series is. It means fast character progress without dragging.

I admit I was really frustrated with Hira here. How he constantly said sorry, self depracating and esp hate how he worship Kiyoi like God. It just gets annoying at some point.

But, what's beautiful is exactly how Kiyoi has been supportive of Hira

I love how our rude Kiyoi in S1 has grown to become a man who is supportive of Hira, encouraging him to pursue his dream, taking the effort to cook for Hira despite not knowing how. I especially love how Kiyoi says "Don't look up to me but face me"

Its amazing watching Kiyoi grow, and thanks God..it doesn't come to a waste

I'm also proud by progress of Hira when he finally decided that he can be in the same spot with Kiyoi. That's a huge progress from where he was.

I appreciate how each character grows individually as well as a couple.

The relationship isn't perfect (but none is)! Given the context they started out in high school and it's their first love, I'd say cut them some slack before slapping this as toxic.

They are thriving and healing from the toxicity, that's what is important. Many relationship sometimes start out as healthy but also ends up as toxic.

What's important is that they are not falling deeper into more toxicity, but rather slowly coming out of it.

That's how healing work and I can't wait to see the movie now!
