While 2022 was distinctly a year of office romances (The New Employee, The Director Who Buys Me Dinner and Roommate of Poongduck 302), the generalist tropes were flavorful and intriguing. Gone are the days when Korean BLs were stuck in the old formulaic, recycling the same stories. Today, we have daring adaptations that employ actors par excellence. In today’s feature, we round up the best KBL’s in 2022- in terms of storytelling and directorial!
Korean BLs are slowly evolving into a substantial industry with their well-written scripts and phenomenal casting.

Therefore, to put together my top ten favorite Korean BLs from 2020-2022, I revisited my Twitter posts, taking note of the ones that left me reeling enough to spill my feelings into the Twitterverse. Considering the amount of BLs South Korea released over the last few years, narrowing them down was no easy task, but certainly a lot of fun to revisit.
South Korea is relatively new to the BL scene compared to others. While Japan remains number one in manga/anime production, others have started to catch up. South Korea has released so many manhwas – the Korean term for graphic novels – over the past couple of years that even I am having trouble following them all, and I’m a massive consumer of yaoi. Yet, even with such a large production of yaoi manhwa and novels, I confess I did not expect South Korea to join the BL series bandwagon so soon. After all, South Korea is still very conservative. Then again, society in general is still quite conservative, isn’t it?
