My Movie World: November 2021

More Than Blue is a story of K (JC Santos) and Cream (Yassi), both orphans, who shared home without any romantic ties. K was abandoned by his mother when his father died of cancer, while Cream lost her entire family in a car accident. But when K discovers that he is dying due to terminal cancer, he secretly keeps it from Cream and pushes her to marry someone kind and healthy.

Eventually, Cream meets John Louis (Diego Loyzaga), an affluent dentist, with whom she announces that she has fallen in love. It breaks K’s heart, but at the same time, it makes him feel relieved knowing that Cream will not be left alone.

True love goes with sacrifice for the sake of the person that is loved. But in the case of K and Cream, will it suffice to make the person feel all the more loved?

A sweet and passionate film on love anchor by the good performance of the lead. This is Yassi's best performance to date as she gave her own interpretation the character of Cream. JC Santos on the other hand, as always is a competent actor that match the energy given by Yassi in this film and effective as the leading man that always sacrifice for love. This is an adaptation from the original Taiwanese film but it it gives a Filipino romance flavor in term of its treatment and intention. Marion Aunor also standout in this film and surprisingly gave a comic relief in the film. The film do have a lot of hugot and hopeless romantic feels which the audience will surely appreciate upon watching.

My Verdict: 4/5
