? Business as Usual – Second Chances, Stunning Leads, and So Much Yearning ?❤️
From First Love to Forever – A Healing Second Chance
This drama took me by surprise — emotionally rich, visually gorgeous, and deeply romantic. Almost a perfect 10. 🥹
✨ What I Loved:
🔥 Kim Min Jun and Jin Hwan are gorgeous, charismatic, and carried this story with mature emotional nuance.
🎓 The university flashbacks were perfectly woven in — nostalgic and revealing.
🎶 The music was soft and thoughtful, adding subtle emotion to every scene.
🎥 Beautiful cinematography with clean, elegant visuals throughout.
💋 Episode 1 and episode 5 featured intimate moments that were not just steamy, but emotionally meaningful.
💫 The intimate scene (episode 5) in Business as Usual was one of the most romantic and emotionally charged I’ve seen in a BL drama. After 8 years of unresolved tension and miscommunication, Jin Hwan finally kissing Min Jun on the street felt like a release of everything they had been holding in — raw, tender, and deeply moving 💞. What followed behind closed doors only deepened that emotion.
The moment they stepped inside, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other — passionate kisses, slow undressing, and complete emotional surrender 🔥. Jin Hwan’s forehead kiss, the “I like it” moment from Min Jun 🥺, and their soft smiles before continuing… it was unforgettable. It wasn’t just sensual — it was intimate, healing, and real. 🎶🕯️
As they lay together, Min Jun said:
"In my memory, you were a jerk. And no matter who I dated, you were always the worst, no matter what."
That hit so hard. 💔➡️❤️ You realize he never really let go of Jin Hwan — no one ever came close. Their love was still there, buried beneath time and pain, and now finally given space to breathe.
The morning after was just as sweet — breakfast 🍳, brushing teeth 🪥, borrowing clothes… small domestic moments full of familiarity and hope 💙. And when they walked to the wedding together, smiling in the elevator? I melted 💖. It felt like a soft, unspoken promise: “Maybe next time, it’ll be our wedding.” 🥹💍
👏 Huge applause to the actors. They brought such vulnerability, chemistry, and honesty to the screen.
🧠 On the Conflict & Character Depth:
Many viewers have pointed out that the entire conflict could’ve been avoided if they had simply communicated eight years ago. And while that’s technically true, it misses the point. If things were that simple, we’d have a one-episode short, not a six-episode emotional journey. It’s the emotional tension, missed chances, and complicated history that make this story powerful.
Min Jun is an introvert who struggles to articulate his feelings — not out of immaturity, but because of emotional fear and self-preservation. His missteps feel real. Jin Hwan, on the other hand, is inexperienced and unsure how to navigate his first serious relationship. He doesn’t hold back out of apathy, but from fear of ruining something precious.
They’re both young. They mess up. But those mistakes are rooted in believable character traits, not just drama-for-drama’s-sake. Watching them grow, understand each other, and choose to try again makes their reunion resonate even more.
🦸♂️ After all, a superhero story without a villain would be boring. If these two had communicated perfectly from the start, there would be no emotional arc, no tension, no payoff — and no reason to care. Their flaws make the story human.
💔 My One Complaint:
The final episode felt rushed. It was short, and the actual reunion/confession came only in the last minute 😩. I wanted more couple time and less focus on the wedding scene.
Final Thoughts:
Business as Usual is one of the most emotionally satisfying and beautifully acted Korean BLs I’ve seen. A mature, slow-burn second-chance romance full of tenderness, regret, and quiet hope. 💙
