Peach Trap Episode 1

this 1st ep was absurd & sorry Yoo Do Ha cute, but doesn't justify one let alone 3 guys (of the ones we see here) running after him. & the parts where he was acting cute OMG cringe & i wish "they" would stop portraying 'bottoms' like this. this trope is so gross. it's like u don't want a woman, but u want a man/boy to be as girly as possible but not cross into effeminate. *************putting all this aside, i like the 3 guys but i think i want the bff's to be together. ironically he was dressed in green from head to toe, but Do Ha noticed only the green shoes of the coffee shop owner & iPhone casing of his former boss.

A Whirlwind of Love and Warmth

Wow, the first two episodes of Peach Trap did not disappoint. They were everything I hoped for, sweet, funny, and beautifully shot. All four male leads are absolutely stunning, each bringing their own charm and warmth to the story. The music fits perfectly, creating that soft yet exciting Korean BL atmosphere I love. The plot instantly pulled me in, reminding me a little of Secret Relationships, my favourite Korean BL this year, where three men fall for one person. But unlike that messy, toxic love triangle, Peach Trap feels lighthearted and pure, with no possessive or abusive tones, just genuine affection and jealousy that feels natural and fun.

Yoo Do Ha is the heart of the story. He’s small, adorable, and innocent, the kind of character who doesn’t even realise how lovable he is. No wonder three gorgeous men are drawn to him. His team leader, Jeon, may seem cold and strict, but underneath that exterior, he truly cares for Do Ha. When everyone turned their backs after Do Ha was framed and fired, Jeon was the only one who believed in his innocence. Then there’s Yeon Ha Ram, the aloof café worker who treats most customers with distance but softens instantly around Do Ha, offering him free drinks and quiet smiles. And finally, Taek Gyeon, the protective and athletic childhood friend, a taekwondo instructor with a sculpted body and a heart full of loyalty.

Watching these three men orbit around Do Ha is simply delightful. Their jealousy is playful rather than cruel, making the love square feel both chaotic and charming. I love that the series balances humor, emotion, and romantic tension without slipping into toxicity. It’s a rare kind of storytelling that feels safe yet still thrilling to watch.

Peach Trap is a refreshing addition to this year’s Korean BL lineup, a soft and heartwarming escape from the darker, more dramatic stories we’ve seen. I can’t believe it’s rated R18+ on iQIYI, it feels more like a cozy romance than anything scandalous. If the first two episodes are anything to go by, this will easily become my second favourite Korean BL of the year, right after Secret Relationships. I’m so excited to see how this whirlwind of love unfolds in the coming weeks.

10/10 A sweet, non-toxic, beautifully filmed romantic comedy that captures the magic of modern BL storytelling.
