I have uploaded the second season of Utsukushii Kare in the same way I did season 1.
Yes - I have translated episode 4 too :')
I figured if anyone new were to watch the show, having all subs by the same translator is nicer than having to search for the last episode somewhere else.

UTSUKUSHII KARE SEASON 2 - ENG SUB BY LOLLIPOP (FULL SERIES)
me: idk man, kinda glad other countries don't do the established couple, flirty, shippy thing like thailand does. it can be neat and fun at times but sometimes it's weird and a bit questionable and it's restricting actors from doing other stuff. so, it's totally fine when other countries actors just do the one project and then go on their way to do something else, without being bound to each other in the next project to be a couple again. It is really not necessary for me...
............. UNLESS these guys !!!! 👀
i should have never looked at their photo shootings. the chemistry !! it would be such a waste if they don't do anything more together - the potential of it all !!
美しい彼 (utsukushii kare) is still one of my favorite dramas to date. To see them on-screen again does my heart good even if I know they're going to make me cry.
Honestly I don’t think I have ever seen a show that understands it’s characters as much as my beautiful man does. I also think that’s precisely why season 2 was just as good as the first one which is something that many bl’s can’t do.
In the last episode of season 1 Kiyoi still ran away from Hira before their final resolution. And while in the third ep it looked like he is still doing the same, this episode shows just how much he grew. He is a sulky person and that didn’t change he just now knows how to handle it. He knows how to handle the situation and Hira which is something we have been seeing throughout this whole season. He was honestly my favourite.
And then we have Hira and honestly even with how much he frustrated me this season I can’t help but just absolutely adore him. Why? BECAUSE THE SHOW KNOWS IT’S CHARACTERS. It understands his flaws but most importantly the reasoning behind it. The last episode just showed that. While it may look like Hira hasn’t changed much he’s slowly getting there. Maybe slower then the people around him (like the people in the reunion) but that doesn’t matter especially for Kiyoi. He is actually explaining his reasoning and thought process and allows himself to be vulnerable towards Kiyoi. Also the things that the photographer mentions about Hira are so interesting and explains his character quite well. But damn the man really psychoanalysed my dude…
Finally, Hira and Kiyoi’s relationship is what makes this show so great. Kiyoi really knows Hira so well. He has a deep understanding of him which is something Hira really needs. Someone who understands him and they way he is. Sure Kiyoi gets mad at him (rightfully) but he always comes back and tries to talk it out and understand Hira. They’re slowly getting there but their dynamic doesn’t change and it never will. Which it doesn’t need to. I think the last episode showed how their dynamic (with lots of communication and understanding) can really work
This post is a mess and I do not have enough understanding in English to explain just how well this show and its characters are written. This will always be one of my favourite shows. Writers, I love you all and I never doubted you (that’s a lie I definitely was worried)
