Fun fact: Yang Kyung Hee, director of KBL series "Secret Relationships", also directed the KBL series and movie version of "The Time of Fever"

Note to everyone: I said this once and I’ll say it again, If they ever do a remake/retelling of the popular kdrama “Boys Over Flowers”, Kim Jun Seo, Cha Sun Hyung, Kim Ho Young & Cha Jung Woo would be AMAZINGGG casting. They already embody those personalities and have the best dynamic as the male leads cast. They basically already laid the groundwork with this series!

MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

Overall thank you WATCHA and everyone involved for making the series “Secret Relationships”. Watching the episodes every week has been the best time of my life!! I’m gonna miss the show and the comment section 😢 This will be in my top 10, no top 3 best BL drama ever!!

Kudos to everyone involved the series, they did an amazing job! Especially the main cast Kim Jun Seo, Cha Sun Hyung, Kim Ho Young & Cha Jung Woo! 👏👏👏👏 Please support them and this series ❤️

After reading the manwha and watching the final episode of the series, I have to say, as a casual viewer, this show is a masterpiece 10/10 🔥 The acting, OST and cinematography again are phenomenal!

Shin Jae Min is probably the craziest moth*fuck*r in a BL show I’ve seen so far, the fact that’s he’s willing to unalive himself and Daon by self-immolation is freaking insane. I’ve never seen a character go so far!! And in the name of “love”?!! He will go down personally for me as probably the best villain in a BL show so far. He’s manipulative and cunning.

I liked that Su Hyeon eventually learned his mistake and let go of Da On. The final episode made him a bit redeemable.

As for Seong Hyun and Da On, those last 10-15 minutes of dating era, WE NEED MORE OF THAT!!! Are u freaking kidding me?!!
I PRAY TO GOD TO WATCHA TO MAKE AN EXTRA SPECIAL EPISODE OR MOVIE OR EVEN A SECOND SEASON FOR THAT MATTER!!! THE MANWHA HAD SPECIAL EPISODES WHICH THEY COULD ADAPT IN THE SERIES!!! WE NEED THOSE!!

Some cons: I feel like the story could’ve been a bit better. This show would have benefited from a longer runtime and longer episodes to showcase more backstory from Da On, Sung Hyeon and Jae Min when they were in university and how their dynamic were there for example, and more interactions tho, Seong Hyeon and Jae Min barely interacted, etc.

I’m gonna rebinge the show from episode 1 so I can mentally prepare for the final episode. Gonna probably rate the episodes separately too. 🙌

Rating the episodes separately would get the score higher

This series started out as cute bl, but as the story unfolds it then turned into a psychological thriller kdrama 10/10 masterpiece 🔥

Okay, I’m a little late but WOW this episode was wild! Jae Min’s gaslighting was on full display, and Da On is still stuck in his own head, thinking he can’t love anyone and no one can love him. It’s honestly so sad. And can we talk about how bad he is at making decisions? Like, stand up for yourself, bro! THINK, Da On, THINK!!! Su Hyeon is getting more antagonistic, and at this point, he’s hard to redeem. Meanwhile, Seong Hyeon just wants to be there for Da On, but he’s so close to giving up. I feel for him, though, he clearly still cares about Da On.

Also, Mr. Pink Psycho Butter Knife Man? He’s definitely not gone—he’s the main antagonist for sure. Su Hyeon needs to get over the past. Da On already made it clear he doesn’t want him.

Seong Hyeon and Da On? ENDGAME baby we gettin there 💛💙.

The acting and cinematography were on point this episode 🔥🔥. Also, that epilogue with “Please Let Us Be Together Until The Day We Die”… yeah, someone’s not making it out alive next episode. And lowkey, they need to make a special episode or even a Season 2 for Da On and Seong Hyeon’s love life and even more backstory.

You can increase the rating by also rating the episodes separately

I am SOOO anxious for the last two episodes man....I hope they stick the landing. It has been a REALLY GOOD show so far. Now just to make it a perfect 10/10 show 😨

Some of it are, but it's worth watching tho :)))

I thought it could be an interesting twist ending if they actually do that, it's not so far-fetched too with what's everything going on.

I've read some comments that Da On should end up alone and live his own life first instead of being with anyone of the main leads. So would you guys rather have an ending where like Da On end up being single and live his own life? Or with Seong Hyeon? And why?

yeah that's good, i think everyone should watch the show bcs besides being a freaking good, captivating show with great performances of the actors, it also delves in a lot of topics like abuse, obsession, mental health, romance, friendship, love, etc. which you can discussed a lot and reflect about

and also probably the best thing to do if you want the show to be more known/popular and have higher ratings, is to promote the show online/in social media so that more people watch it and of course show love and support for everyone involved in the show like the main cast, etc. ♡

I think you can raise the rating of the show by also rating the episodes separately.

Curious, have there been any other BLs where multiple main leads (2-3 or more) liked the only same ML? Or is this the first time in this genre?

Fun fact: the same original network "Watcha" that made "Secret Relationships" also made the KBL "Semantic Error"
