Title High School Return of a Gangster
I haven't read the novel, so I'm not sure how big of a role the romance plays in the story or in the lives of…
the directors did not include the BL part due to the ongoing challenge of ensuring commercial success. this is not a valid point because so many BL's have been successful. Take Semantic Error for example. The merch for SE was always sold out and they won many awards, including prestigious ones. The show still have a loyal fanbase and the ratings are still high. Also just recently, Jaechan was interviewed by someone who then brought up his and Seohams work in semantic error and praised them for it. It baffles me on how they adapted a queer work but then omitted the queer love story. I must admit i did give in and watched the two episodes released (instead of studying lolol) and i did really enjoy it. Just confused on why they would erase the queer love story. They are so many novels out there but they chose this specific one then just had to remove the bl element
