This anthology is like the first warm summer breeze that sweeps over you after a long cold winter. It is refreshing, gentle, and so enveloping that it makes you feel good all over. This anthology is composed of 4 unrelated love stories told so delicately that you might miss the intensity that lies underneath each of their love stories. Overall, these stories are nimbly told with no overused drama, no destructive love triangles, or cheating plots. It is solid stories with excellent acting in each. All four-love tales are different in terms of poignancy and message. Some are meant to be quite powerful while others are presented as examples of slices-of-life contextures. Each saga is composed of two episodes of about 10 minutes in length each, which makes for easy viewing.

“The Boy Next World” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)
Undoubtedly, this would have worked much better as a fantasy. Instead, they tried to fool us into thinking it is and then wildly twisting the plot into making it fit into our ‘reality’ only to fail miserably on all fronts. This series is a complete mess, regrettably.

“Business As Usual” Series Review (Ep.3 to 6)
Adapted from Moscareto’s web novel Eul’s Love, Business As Usual is a six-episode Korean BL that tells the story of Kim Min Jun (played by Chae Jong Hyeok) and his ex-boyfriend, Jin Hwan (Seong Seung Ha), who suddenly reappears in his life after an eight-year silence.

The same Jin Hwan who once lit up Min Jun’s world is now walking the same office halls, wearing the same company ID, still as sharp and put-together as ever. For Min Jun, who’s spent years treading water in a job that feels more like a placeholder than a career, Jin Hwan’s return is like throwing a stone into a still pond, ripples of old feelings, unresolved hurt, and a longing he can’t quite swallow all rise to the surface.

BL Week in Review
I think the most exciting thing that happened for me this week was the release of the trailer for “The Ex-Morning”. It was like waking up on Christmas. I’m so excited to see Krist and Singto back on the screen again. I feel like the new trailer gave all kinds of tidbits that I’m curious to see play out. Will their on-screen chemistry be as hot as their stage chemistry?
