The queer kdrama we deserve
Heesu in Class 2 is phenomenal. Finally, a classic kdrama with a queer couple at the center. This show is not structured like a BL—all of the characters and relationships matter, not just the main romance. It’s deeper than a simple boy meets boy love story, and the show was made with such love and care. The writing is excellent, the visuals are gorgeous, and the whole cast is fantastic, especially Ahn Ji Ho.
There is a lot of negativity about the show on here that seems to be driven by manhwa fans resentful that the show adapted the story differently for the screen, and BL fans resentful that characters outside of the main pair actually matter. They’re wrong. The show’s version of the story adds so much depth and emotional weight to relatively shallow source material. I hope you’ll ignore the noise and give this show a chance, because it deserves our attention.
