Lia was told to watch MY BEAUTIFUL MAN by Alison. Then Megan. Then Alison. Then Megan. Then Alison just decided to bug her every single week about it until she relented. And guess what...she did love it Sam I Am! In fact, this is in her tippy top tier of dramas now. She rewatched three times in a week. With no friends and a stutter, Hira Kazunari (Riku Hagiwara) isn’t exactly enjoying his life as a high schooler. Things get complicated when he falls for the class’s “King”, Kiyoi Sou (Yusei Yagi). Adapted from the novel, “He, Who is Beautiful” by Nagira Yuu, “My Beautiful Man” is a 2021 romantic high school drama directed by Mai Sakai. The trope done best by this drama is that of the misunderstood hero. It's a chef's kiss. The only issue now is HOW DO WE WATCH THE MY BEAUTIFUL MAN MOVIE WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THE USA.
