Utsukushii kare (original title)
TV Mini Series | Drama | 18 November 2021 (Japan)
Storyline:Hira Kazunari, a high school student who doesn’t talk much, has no friends and belongs to the bottom of his class. The person he falls in love with at first sight is Kiyoi Sou. He is “The King” who doesn’t hang out with anyone, is equally ruthless, and reigns at the top of the class. With the hope Sou will notice his presence, Kazunari serves him devotedly, running errands and buying lunch. But his faith in the absolute monarch gradually falls into lust.User review:~~ Adapted from the novel “He, Who is Beautiful”by Nagira YuuPersonal Note: THIS IS NOT… your ordinary BL romance drama.It is MUCH DEEPER than that; besides the flawless performances, beautiful Japanese leading men, their characters and personalities are severely flawed, which takes some time understanding.I actually watched the entire series THREE TIMES, (a labor of love and appreciation!) and then I finally located a TRANSLATION of the Audio Book, and read through that, one chapter after each series segment… to fully understand the depths of the characters in this story.It’s the most moving and beautiful love story that I’ve ever read/watched.There is a SPANISH translation of the novel which can be opened in Chrome, then right-clicked upon and select TRANSLATE to English, etc.Note the first 5 scenes CLOSELY match the audio book, HOWEVER, the FINAL CHAPTERS of the book are rather intensely and graphically sexual, so these ending chapters were rather “ghosted” in (PG-13 style) within the Sixth and final video segment of the series.
