On High School Return of a Gangster Jun 12, 2024
For those who are unaware, the original material for this drama was adapted from a BL (boys love) novel, with all BL elements removed. Production stated in an interview that they removed it to assure commercial success, as BL is not profitable. There are several hetero sources from which they might have adapted, but they chose to adapt from a BL source and remove its identification.

The story revolves around the MC's sexuality. He got bullied due to homophobia. The romance only started when the old man left the MC's body, and it was between the two students. Now with all of that gone, they seem to be pushing through with the bromance instead, which appears like queerbaiting.

If you watch this drama or dismiss the information after reading it, you are actively contributing to queer erasure in Korean media.
