My Beautiful Man

美しい彼 シーズン1 ‧ Drama ‧ 2021
Seventeen-year-old Hira, who is at the bottom of the class, tries to remain invisible at school, never wanting to open his mouth and expose his stuttering speech to his classmates. He views the world through his camera lens, detached until one day, Kiyoi Sou walks through the classroom door. The impact is instantaneous.

Hira finds himself pulled into Kiyoi's gravity, following him everywhere and attending to his every need. Popularity comes easily to beautiful Kiyoi, who is always surrounded by his classmates. He uses his status to get what he wants, ordering around the boy who stares at him with his big eyes and seems to worship him like a god.

Hira contents himself to merely exist within Kiyoi's orbit, asking for nothing in return…

Watching this, I was reminded of how Hira was in love with Kiyoi especially considering how Konno and him are both into photography

Night Flight depicts bullying in high school and the simmering anger that can explode at any moment when the person being bullied has had enough. It shows the loneliness that exists when all you know is sadness and how someone from your past can be the one person that gives you love and hope for happiness in the present.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

This is another series in which an practically invisible boy with no self confidence falls in love with a beautiful classmate. He is obsessively attracted to the beautiful boy and worships him from afar not daring to hope for more. Another toxic relationship between two damaged people.

While quite different story and vibe wise, episode 4 of One Night Morning tackles a relationship with a FL with a stutter and the perceived lack of control and misunderstandings that the stutter and social fear may have inspired with the ML (who tends to give off a very intimidating/cold delinquent-like vibe to others). These elements remind of the two male leads in My Beautiful Man.

Aoki has a crush on Hashimoto, the girl in the seat next to him in class. But he despairs when he borrows her eraser and sees she's written the name of another boy—Ida—on it. To make matters more confusing, Ida sees Aoki holding that very eraser and thinks Aoki has a crush on him!

Both of these feature unconventional queer relationships that involve photographers. The vibes are very different though. Between Complete and Incomplete is more indie/quirky while Utsukushii Kare is more desperate...? Not sure how to explain

Japanese bl drama which has also a psychological tag. Similar length in number of episodes and duration in general.
- they both concentrate on the crush that one ml has for the other and the feelings that grow and change from there
- My Beautiful Man focuses more on an obsession and admiration kind of aspect
- In My Beautiful Man the love interest acts mean for a longer period of time before realizing his feelings (similar to A Shoulder to Cry On)
- The overall themes and way of progression of the story are fairly similar between the two

Both are BL Japanese dramas with a similar vibe in the relationship between the MLs.
