Adapted from the webtoon Who Can Define Popularity? by Tak Bon, the Korean BL Something is Not Right stars Choi Min Ho as Do Ba U, Jung Je Hyeon as Ji Hun, and Ji Min Seo as Jung Ha Min and kicks off with a slow-burn setup built on unspoken feelings, crossed wires, and a temporary fake dating arrangement that’s only going to make things messier.
