Il Jo, an unfortunate illegitimate son, gets abused by his half-brother Seo Jeong In at their father’s funeral and ends up relying on his cousin, Seo Jeong Han. One night, Il Jo impulsively kisses Jeong Han. Soon after, is hospitalized with gallstones, and the prickly Jeong Han pays the 4-million-won surgery bill for him. Jeong Han then tells him to “pay it back with his body” and proposes a contract that basically states all of Il Jo’s rights belong to him. Il Jo ends up living in Jeong Han’s house and serving him. Jeong Han, who was always indifferent, slowly finds himself drawn to Il Jo’s innocence and desperate devotion. Their relationship grows deeper, both physically and emotionally, and Jeong Han begins to develop an intense obsession and possessiveness toward him.

The thundercloud that growled but only drizzled...

A promising beginning which concluded with a lackluster ending.

When this drama started, the first four episodes were super intense and exciting. But as it proceeded towards the second half of the drama, it lost the angsty essence and circled around a vague story that was only full of misunderstandings, miscommunications and ego problems. Personally, Jeonghan's character seemed very interesting to me but not Iljo. And shout out to Iljo's best friend Suho, who never expected anything in return but stayed by his side when Iljo was nothing.

Some characters spiked my blood pressure, some only made me roll my eyes, so overall it's a decent drama that you can binge on as a one-time watch, but it won't leave any long-lasting impression on your brain (only the important scenes like— well iykyk 🤭)

A Dark, Addictive and Seductive Korean BL That Instantly Hooks You

Honestly this has become my favourite Korean BL after Secret Relationships, and I’m lifting my rating to a full 10/10 after episode 4!!!

Thundercloud Rainstorm delivers one of the most explosive openings I have seen in a Korean BL. The darker cinematography and moody tone set it apart immediately, giving the story an intensity and emotional weight that makes it impossible to stop watching. It feels mature, atmospheric and bold in all the right ways.

Jeong Ri U has always impressed me in short projects like Bad Guy, Blue Boys and Seoul Blues, but seeing him in a full BL series is on another level. He is tall, handsome and effortlessly seductive, the perfect match for the adorable and expressive Yoon Ji Sung. Their chemistry is electric from the very first moment they share the screen.

The intimate scenes are a major highlight. The couch kiss is hot, slow and incredibly sensual. The kitchen bench kiss is just as intense. I love how both cousins are so forward with their feelings and actions. And since they are not related by blood, it avoids the tired step brother trope we see too often. Their dynamic feels fresh, daring and full of tension.

The hotel room scene absolutely blew me away. JeongHan tying IlJo up, kissing him like a predator claiming his prey, was one of the sexiest and most captivating scenes in recent BLs. It balances toxicity, obsession and vulnerability in a way that feels dramatic but still deeply emotional. The acting is strong, the chemistry is undeniable and every moment between them feels charged and meaningful.

This series already stands out as one of my favourites of the year. Stunning visuals, addictive storytelling, passionate chemistry and the perfect amount of dark red flag energy make Thundercloud Rainstorm unforgettable. A solid 10 out of 10.
