Always Be My Maybe is the latest romantic comedy from Netflix. Besides romantic and humorous situations, the film also attracts viewers with modern messages about the lifestyle of today’s youth.

Compared to the famous Hollywood hits To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and Crazy Rich Asians in many aspects, the rom-com The latest (romantic comedy) from Netflix is ​​truly an experience worth watching this summer.

 The film tells the story of the difficult and frustrating love story of childhood best friends Sasha Tran ( Ali Wong ) and Marcus Kim ( Randall Park ). 

While growing up, Sasha Tran “one step up” thanks to her cooking talent and became a famous A-list female chef, Marcus Kim stayed in her hometown and built a not-so-glorious career with her father.

In addition to humor and romance, the film is special in that it hits the current reality of many young couples. What happens when the person you love is so outstanding and successful while you are just an ordinary guy, accepting a simple life? The answer will be in Always Be My Maybe .

Two people, two worlds, how can they get along?

The story of Sasha and Marcus is really not too strange in today’s era of development. Beginning in the early 2000s, Sasha is a young girl with an unhappy family.

 The joy she rekindled was the moments she lived at Marcus’s house, and she didn’t know when it would become her second home. 

After the accident, Marcus’s mother passed away and from then on the young couple gradually drifted apart. Meeting again after many years, they are two people with two different worlds.

While Sasha is an A-list chef who is highly sought after by the media, Marcus roams bars, bringing his music to inspire everyone. According to Marcus, he accepted his safe life in San Francisco, and of course that safe life was not a prosperous life. 

As for Sasha, she is famous but not happy in her married life because her fiance just postponed the wedding. She was forced to return to San Francisco to develop her new restaurant. And here, the fateful meeting brought about troubles.

Pictures of the two as children and their fateful meeting after 16 years of separation. Marcus is the employee who came to install the convenience system in Sasha’s new home.

A series of memories from school and childhood came rushing back to them. Secret kisses in the car, fishing trips and even fun times with friends. For the audience, a deep emotional philosophy will gradually be felt after the encounters of this couple. 

The happiness in this life is not that you have a famous and well-known “other half”, but that you choose the right person. The right person here is understood that every time you are with that person, you feel relieved after a long day of work and when you are with that person, you feel like you are at home.

Unforgettable memories with old friends are never lost, they just wait for a chance to be remembered.

However, after many hesitations that no one dared to confess to anyone, they had their own lovers. As for Marcus, he met a girl who listened to all his music with enthusiasm, but whose appearance was not very sympathetic to others.

 As for Sasha, she met actor Keanu Reeves, and chose him as her replacement lover after her “bastard” fiance. For both of them, for the world they are in, these are two options that are extremely suitable for me. But whether it brings the feelings mentioned above is unknown.

Notably, the film has the participation of actor “John Wick” Keanu Reeves.

The best thing in love is having someone try hard for you

After everything they went through at home, even though they both had feelings for each other since childhood, neither one dared to say anything.

 If Marcus accepts a normal life, afraid to enter Sasha’s world of luxury and power, then on the other line, Sasha only dares to stand still and wait for Marcus to cross the line.

Although they realized their feelings and were even jealous of each other at times, neither of them was willing to say anything first.

In love, the luckiest thing is not having someone who loves you and cares about everything that happens around you. The luckiest thing is to find someone who understands you, and is willing to try for you. 

As for Sasha, she didn’t see Marcus’s efforts, she was always angry with him just because he was afraid of change. This is also a common occurrence in many story or movie motifs and even in real life. 

We found each other among billions of people in the world but lost each other for an incompatible reason. Instead of sitting down and fixing the changes and obstacles, we choose to let go. And the story of Sasha and Marcus is such a story.

After breaking up with Keanu Reeves, Sasha returned to New York and wanted Marcus to go with her, but he refused because he thought it wasn’t compatible with the life he wanted.

 After all, the fault does not belong to just one person but to both of them. However, the part that is more at fault and deserves to be “spanked” is that the guy is afraid to change. 

Sasha ignored all the trivial material things and didn’t care about fame when she took him along to the same red carpet event, introducing to all the press that he was her lover, but he was scared and didn’t know. dare to show up.

Ignoring all the surprised looks, Sasha led Marcus to the red carpet of the event no matter how shabbily her lover dressed.

Right now, the audience is the part of people who feel the most frustrated. But think carefully for a moment, an Asian man with stereotypes in love will never be able to accept the fact that there is a lover who is more successful than him. 

This is also a prominent issue in today’s society, when feminism is increasingly promoted and the success of girls is no longer a rare thing.

So, after all, can Marcus and Sasha end up together? Are you both willing to work together to fix obstacles and try for each other? That is also the only key to solving the “difficult” situation not only for the couple in Always Be My Maybe but also for couples out there in love.

Interim Conclusion

Always Be My Maybe is a movie worth watching and very realistic. With an Asian cast, the film brings the distance and lifestyle of viewers in Vietnam closer.

 Above all, the film is also the key to solving love problems in today’s era that many people do not know about.

 In particular, in one scene of the movie there will be an extremely impressive proposal that many young people can learn from.
