Korean BL ranked

Has literally everything. Yes, it's corny like an early 2010's romance drama. Yes, Chu Sangwoo’s feelings develop too quickly and his inner turmoil can’t be laid out for us like in the manhwa. But they did this in 8 x 25 minutes out of NOWHERE. They gave us BL taken seriously, they gave the genre a huge push, and they gave me life.

Two grown men with a job? In my KBL??

Toeing the line with how subtle the meaning of some things happening is. Still the best high school BL I've seen so far.

Sliiightly too emo for me sometimes and not always a fan of the music choices but otherwise muy bonito.

Wannabe tough/feisty guy crying in front of his one-sided enemy and future lover = me being done for. A heads up for those who read the manhwa: they changed the plot and cut the second couple.

Good idea and this close to a good execution. The innuendos and parallels between the main characters’ past and the game they’re developing could have been better and the cinematography is pretty basic. They did amazing one take scenes though!

Some couples fare better than others but still entertaining and heartwarming and aesthetically pleasing (if you know what I mean).

Rushed ending that leaves a few lose ends but I can't resist bully/bullied romantic tension, as unrealistic as it is.

So short but so cute.

Noh Shinwoo leaves rent free in my pocket. Prepare to have your heart broken again and again for him. Pass if you can’t stand blur filter and bright lipstick abuse or grown men playing high schoolers.

Best reluctant cooperation out there.

I thought I had main couple syndrome, until the second couple started crying and I joined in.

A cliché manhwa come to life (literally) but the acting and the chemistry are so good I didn’t even cringe once like who am I???

The only drama with that model actor I enjoy. Story is wattpad-tier and has a plot crater in the middle but somehow it works.

Farmer guy carried HARD.

They fumbled the ending but otherwise most fluid enemies to lovers progression I’ve ever seen.

I can only support attempts at action/thriller/comedy BL, even this flawed.

I can’t remember watching this for the life of me.

0% plot, 100% hot!

Loved the twisted, psychological aspect of it but acting was hit or miss.

Plot had potential but execution is lacking. I have a screenshot of their kiss at the beach on my phone and I look at it every day.

Great idea, just needed more budget, including to hire two good main actors and not just one.

Ayo second couple syndrome cheeeck.

An unserious guilty pleasure.

Desultory.

 The bad post-prod dubbing will make you rip your hair out, but... still better than the Thai version, sorry.

Half of the scenes are genius, half are terrible. Made me burst out laughing but also yawn.

Broke my heart in 20 min, yay.

It’s cute but also weird.

Having seen reality TV shows with one of the main actors in it, I KNOW he hated to « stoop down » to BL. And I know he’s doubly mad that the result was mediocre.

One good main actor, one bad main actor, and a plot that deserved better.

It's hard to believe the studio that made Where Your Eyes Linger is now making this kind of stuff.

The first episode made me think this was the KBL revolution we had been waiting for and then it fell flat on its face.

Falling in love with your dead dog’s spirit was not on my BL plot bingo card.

One good main actor, one bad main actor, and a plot that fits on a square of toilet paper.

Nonsensical and so low budget it hurts. But. BUT. They truly look like they’re dying to kiss each other the whole time and I am a weak person.

I only remember stiff acting.

The most gay business model Kpop group acts in a BL that denounces the gay business model.

It’s obvious no one wants to be there.

I get what they attempted to do, but not everyone can pull off Japanese style comedy.

So, so awkward.

I can still hear the cheap costumes rustling at night.
