Sweet and heartwarming with one of the best BL scenes of all time (spoiler at the bottom!!)
I've probably rewatched Unintentional Love Story three times now. I just rewatched it again recently after watching The Time of Fever spin-off (and LOVING it).ULS is sweet and adorable. The acting might not be Oscar-worthy, but it's still so good and so heartwarming. I thought the casting was great—the main couple offers a great balance of the cold, stoic guy paired with the bright, naive guy. It's a light yet candid love story that won't break your heart. The music is also really pleasant and the B couple is super captivating (watch Time of Fever if you haven't yet).
*SPOILER COMING! Stop reading here if you haven't seen the drama yet*
***SPOILER: One of the best scenes I have ever seen in a BL is this soft moment between Wonyoung and Taejoon: TJ asks WY to use him as much as possible, and WY responds "I'm not gonna use you. I'm gonna love you instead." Every single time I rewatch that scene, I cry. It's so authentic and tender! There are very few moments of true love in current KBL drama canon that make me stop in my tracks like that moment. ***

Please give us a sequel!!
I just finished the last episode 10 minutes ago and I'm so happy with the ending. After the emotional rollercoaster the past two episodes took me on, the finale did not disappoint!One thing though–I'm obsessed with the side couples. Badly. So badly that I NEED a sequel where we get some more character development for them. I'm specifically talking about one side couple that was introduced in the last episode (I dare not spoil) but I BET I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE FEELING THIS WAY.
Anyway, if you're on the fence about watching this and you love jang ki yong and hyeri as much as I do... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? Watch it! I did and I have no regrets.

Okay so...Once upon a time, I was bored and in need of a good and spicy BL to entertain me. Then I fell upon a post about Addicted. After reading about how obsessed the watchers were and how it was banned in China, I knew I had hit jackpot.
When I first started watching, I was a little bit confused about how it would turn out. I switched from confused to anxious to just being on the edge of my seat. It's a REALLY GOOD love story, while also unconventional. Also, just a recommendation, make sure you watch the uncut version of certain episodes ;) You can thank me later.
If you wanna fangirl, here is an opportunity. I can genuinely say I squealed at certain moments. The BOLDNESS is ASTRONOMICAL.
If you aren't into the spicy stuff, you can still enjoy this drama because it is so heartfelt. The love isn't rushed but doesn't take too long at the same time. The was not cliché, unlike most other dramas. The main couple has a lot of realistic obstacles in their way that they overcome together. My only problem with it is that it ends so abruptly, probably because it was banned for the LGBTQ+ themes.

I want to cry ITS SO GOOD
Oh. My. Gosh.This drama had me hooked from the moment I started watching, to the final scene of the final episode. Hands down, this is one of the best BLs I’ve watched in 2025, and probably one of the best of all time. Every episode was so good and the plot was super intriguing. Watching the show as it was airing was rough because I always felt desperate waiting for the next episode; however, seeing the hilarious memes and reactions from fellow fans on TikTok kept me afloat.
Oh my gosh. I can’t wait to rewatch this drama in a few months. I loved the plot, acting, visuals and music SO MUCH. It’s now in my top ten with Unknown, Addicted, We Best Love and I Told Sunset About You.
