Queen B’s Decree: Magic Man was kind of magical.
Jay and Casey’s story felt real, complete with hardships, heart breaking moments and decisions, and difficult pasts. Jay originally meets Casey at a difficult point in both their lives. Jay’s about to go to prison and Casey is a pregnant teenager, discovering the truth of her boyfriend. Jay gives her some cash to help her out, and spends the next two years in prison thinking of her and worrying about her.
Upon release he does his best to check on her, from afar. A little like a stalker but in a good way!
There definitely is an element of instalove going on here; Casey and Jay’s reunion moves a little fast. But both of them have lived some difficult lives, so their maturity level is higher than you’d normally expect of an 18 and 22 year old.
Magic Man is full of chemistry, love, heartbreak, and most of all, magic.
