What would you do if your ex-boyfriend, the one who broke your heart eight years ago, suddenly reappeared as your new coworker? That’s the premise of Business as Usual, a Korean BL drama that dives into the complicated world of painful pasts and second chances in love.
The story follows Min Jun, a reserved office worker stuck in routine, whose life is shaken by the return of Jin Hwan, his former love. Although time has passed, the scars of their breakup are still fresh, and the tension between them is impossible to ignore. Between resentment, nostalgia, and desire, the series paints an intimate picture of facing the past without fully letting go of it.
Unlike many BL productions, Business as Usual stands out for its mature and emotionally complex approach. It doesn’t just show the attraction that lingers, but also the very real challenges of two people confronting old mistakes: lack of communication, emotional walls, and the fear of repeating history. While Jin Hwan, outgoing and charismatic, tries to break through Min Jun’s defenses, the audience witnesses a journey of reconciliation and healing.
With a slow and thoughtful pace, the series feels calm yet meaningful. Its short length makes it easy to binge, without losing the emotional depth that makes it memorable.
If you enjoy “ex-lovers reunited” stories and are drawn to office romances that balance passion with heartfelt reflection, Business as Usual is a drama worth watching.
