Hermoso 2 (2026)

Surprisingly 'Beautiful'

I loved this series! I know there are a ton of negative reviews/comments about this series and admittedly, despite the myriad of legitimate issues it does have, I still think this is one of the better series to take a look at. Why? Because it has heart and it disregards the traditional path of telling a BL cliché story. It takes a direction I did not expect it to take. With an ending, I am sure, perhaps no one else except me respected. I loved and enjoyed the unconventional and heteroclite conclusion. It made logical sense. This is not a pablum-fed saga but a serious story. It is a solid adult tale with an uninhibited solution to an insoluble dilemma. Take it or leave it. There is nothing pre-pubescent or tripe about this series and that alone makes it worth considering. If the director had taken the story more seriously and believed in its integrity, this could have been a more impactful series.

not the fun kind of messy

Overall: I don't care how much sex and skin a story shows, if I dislike the characters and plot the NC scenes are useless. Note there is something that might be triggering played as comedy in episode 9.13 episodes about 15 minutes each. Aired on Oxin's YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcQaxIPsTWdNIYHcBRfjlLX46Pm4vZt-z&si=VrUDYkjloUYpYCJL

Content Warnings: episode 9 had a fake gang rape played as comedy (which I found ZERO funny), punches, fight, manipulation, doctor/patient romantic relationship

What I Liked
- visuals
- the dad did talk to his son in episode 3 about what was happening
- not sure how the characters came to the decision but it was a good decision, episode 13 15:30-end

Room For Improvement
- 3 cis men fake gang raping a trans woman for comedy in episode 9 was atrocious
- episodes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 were totally skippable
- NC scenes had zero impact since everyone was cheating/jumping to different partners
- was the intro made for 3D glasses, it hurt my eyes
- side eyeing a character who didn't bring another character to the hospital (was explained later, he should have his license revoked)
- cheating
- love triangles
- do not care about the boat boys & the captain
- not sure exactly what happened with the side couple's drama unless I missed a specific scene, one minute they were having a romantic dinner and then next everything went to crap, they kind of explained it later
