A journey into romance, comedy, and heartbreak, we give you six BL Korean dramas you just can't turn away from!
Boys Love or BL dramas, as they are known, are starting to take over the K-drama industry. This goes to show how the perception of same sex couples is viewed in an otherwise intolerant society. Lewis Hooper has previously written about why these dramas are becoming successful with young Koreans in an article, and now we have shortlisted some of the most loved Boys Love dramas out there! So fasten your seat belts, and let's get started!
Blossom Campus (2024)
This BL series is about two lonely university students who begin life as strangers, though they keep encountering each other on campus. Later, after an awkward introduction, they finally start talking to each other and become friends; however, romantic feelings complicate their friendship, and a pesky rival video disrupts the harmony between them.
The romance in Blossom Campus is sweet and light-hearted. Occasionally, we got to witness glimpses of a cute exchange or a genuine expression from the actors. However, the writing isn't sophisticated. Many storylines seem shallow, while the characters have no depth. The series tries to tease a love triangle, which fails to be engaging. You won't get excited about the couple's mundane interactions or dull relationship drama. That said, this is one of the most successful BL dramas of all time. What are your thoughts on its success?
A Breeze Of Love (2023)
This BL drama is literally one of the most perfect series from the outset. It is a breezy, refreshing, and warm series which focuses on love, friendships, and the all-important self-discovery.
Viewers can tap into their own emotional depths, thanks to the characters, despite this series only having a short run time. This is all thanks to the well-paced storyline and easy-to-watch cast, and as a result this is one of the more satisfying Korean BL dramas to watch.
Jazz for Two (2024)
This romantic Korean BL drama is a series all about coming of age. In the eight episodes, it manages to pack a lot into the story lines. It delivers a warm feeling and good vibes for viewers, which leads to something more special as the plot thickens!
This series also tackles the more serious side of difficult topics, which many young LGBTQ+ Koreans face on their quest for love and friendship. Jazz For Two is a compelling and thought-provoking watch with a talented and charming cast to boot.
Once Again (2022)
This BL drama was a welcome, refreshing addition to the industry, as it features a relatively high concept and storyline.
This series is a truly dramatic and emotional series thanks to its strong cast, and it has made it to being one of the most-watched BL dramas out there since its release in 2022.
It’s an overall production that can rival even the most popular mainstream Korean dramas. Just a wonderful, enjoyable, affecting, and thoroughly satisfying viewing experience.
Love Tractor (2023)
Forget the title of the drama for a moment. If you are looking for a sweet, light-hearted series, then look no further. This BL drama will make you smile the entire way through the eight episodes. This wholesome series has all of the best parts of what makes a series enjoyable. The talented lead characters Do Won and Yoon Do-jin make you want to watch more and more, thanks to their feel-good, easy-to-watch, and very satisfying chemistry.
Sing My Crush (2023)
Sing My Crush is an unexpected gem. We went into watching this series with little to no expectations, having not heard too much about it before watching it. However, this series turned out to be a cute, heart-warming, and feel-good series, thanks to the sweet chemistry of the main characters.
It successfully delivers the dreamy adventure into young romance and sincere friendship. It is ,a truly wonderful series that brings together a strong cast, solid story and excellent music for an ultimately resonant and feel-good experience. This is for sure a BL drama that you should watch!
