Have you seen the Filipino film More Than Blue, which is available on Netflix? The leading man is JC Santos, the leading woman is Yassi Pressman, and the second leading man is Diego Loyzaga. I watched this a few weeks ago and wanted to write about my reaction to it and how I felt after I finished watching it. As I was browsing the Internet, I discovered that it was originally a Korean film that was recently remade in Taiwanese. The title 'More than blue' translates to 'A story sadder than sadness,' implying that the story will be tragic. I didn't bother watching the other version from another country too since I can't watch a tragic story like this anymore, but I read on their synopsis that the plot is different from the Filipino version but has the same ending. It only differs in how they tell the story and a little bit on the character.

More Than Blue (Filipino Version)

The main characters of the story is K and Cream. Cream's parents died in a car accident when she was a teenager. K's father, on the other hand, died the same year Cream's parents was killed in an accident. K was abondoned by his mother after his father died. K had no idea his mother was sick and that there was no cure. The mother is aware that her son will go to any length to find a cure for her illness, but she is also aware that it will fail because there is no cure in that one.

K and Cream met in an unusual way. Cream is sitting on the bench with a cigarette in her hand while K is in his PE uniform and engaging in physical activity. She talked to K, and when she noticed a teacher, she immediately put the cigarette in K's mouth, which the teacher seen, and K got in trouble and went to the dean's office. Haha. That is the beginning of their friendship. K and Cream used to live in the same house prior to actually choosing to move to K's house.

K has a terminal illness, possibly the same as her mother. K and Cream knew they were soul mates, but K believed that his life would not go on and that he would leave Cream too soon if they got together, so he built walls around their romantic connection. Cream met a dental professional in a bar and knows his long-term girlfriend is cheating on him. When the guy fell in love with cream while she was flirting with him, the guy discovered that his fiance was cheating on him, and they broke up. K knew about cream and that guy, so he did everything he could to see if that guy would be good to cream after he left, so he did a background check on the guy. He discovered that he was a good guy, so he can live in peace even though he will be gone soon.

After months of his condition deteriorating and him passing out of nowhere, K decided to inform Cream of his condition. Cream and that guy are planning to marry, and everything is in order, but Cream cannot simply abandon her feelings for K. She ended the relationship, returned the ring to the guy, and continued to look at K whenever he went out. Cream discovered where he was admitted and now visits him every day. K has decided to stay in his house with Cream and wait for God to resurrect the life he has borrowed. Days passed while K fought for his life, and tragically, K died in front of Cream.

Consider how difficult it must be for Cream to accept her faith in K. Only a few days after K died, cream stopped her heart from beating. It appears to be a love bird in which if one dies, the other will perish because the other cannot live without the other. The worst part is that they never had the opportunity to express their feelings to each other. Yes, they love each other, but they don't have the opportunity to share it to them personally. No one made the first move to confess, how sad it is.

Conclusion

They are a soulmate, and I will not be happy to have such a soulmate if one of us leaves the other too soon. Just watching this makes me realize how tragic it is, and it causes my heart to stop for a moment. The lesson I've learned from this is that love is peculiar. We never know when the love of your life or you will leave this world, so don't waste time telling them you love them so you don't have to regret it later. It's amazing how K managed to give Cream the bare minimum of how people treated their loved ones, even though it's difficult for him because he also loves Cream, but he throws it away because he knows he'll be gone soon.

Thank you for your time!
