Well, at least I guess the original author still gets credit for the story unlike with the plagiarism of Eternal Love (2017) where a gay story was turned straight by a different author who got the cash for it. Some cdrama-lore for those interested.
I'll still try to watch this as I don't really mind if its a BL or not as long as there's chemistry between the characters (I also watch Chinese dramas so yeah) but I do understand the outrage. I think it can be considered a warning that despite KBL having gotten far, there's still a long road to go. It's a big step from webdramas to mainstream Korean tv and clearly we are not there yet. But yeah its disappointing.
So its kinda less an exploration of the fujoshi fandom itself and more just how an outsider (the male lead) deals with his girlfriend who is in that fandom. In like a really exaggerated way. I only saw it subbed in Spanish.
