Love is a vast universe of moments — some that shatter us, some that heal us, all of them helping us grow.

Heesu in Class 2 captures this tender truth with breathtaking grace.

Adapted from the beloved webtoon Heesu in Class 2 by Lily Zuzu, this Korean BL drama is a heartfelt exploration of first love, growing up, and finding the courage to be yourself. Streaming now on Viki, the series stars Ahn Ji Ho as Lee Hee Su, a self-proclaimed dating expert who’s ironically never been in a relationship. Nursing a long-time crush on his best friend Joo Chan Young (played by Cho Jun Young), Hee Su’s world is shaken when he begins to realize that love, like life, doesn’t always unfold the way we expect.

The early episodes introduce a web of connections: Chan Young, who struggles with his own feelings; Kim Seung Won (Lee Sang Jun), the quiet class president who secretly loves Hee Su; and Choi Ji Yu (Kim Do Yeon), whose growing bond with Chan Young adds another layer of complexity. The ensemble cast brings raw, nuanced performances, portraying the messy, tangled emotions of youth with refreshing honesty.

But Heesu in Class 2 is much more than just a story of teenage crushes. It’s a beautifully intimate series that examines how love evolves—sometimes beginning, sometimes ending, but always leading to growth. Through Hee Su’s journey, the drama captures the bittersweet reality that even after finding love, fear and caution often linger, especially for those who must navigate a world that isn’t always welcoming. The subtle ways Hee Su’s sisters and even Chan Young react to his feelings reflect the range of acceptance and uncertainty that many in the LGBTQ+ community experience.

What sets Heesu in Class 2 apart is its philosophical touch, particularly its use of space metaphors. The vastness of the universe mirrors the vastness of human emotion: full of unknowns, unpredictable, but always worth exploring. It’s a reminder that discovery, whether of planets or of our own hearts, is both terrifying and exhilarating.

Spending time inside Hee Su’s mind and among the people who orbit around him feels like stepping into a tender, personal diary. Heesu in Class 2 is a deeply moving coming-of-age story, told with sincerity, hope, and the quiet courage it takes to reach out for love.

Because at the end of the day, love is love, complicated, messy, beautiful, and worth it.

For a series that will leave you smiling and wanting more of all of their stories, Heesu in Class 2 is an unforgettable watch.
