Falling in love is exciting, especially the part where you’re suspended in the waiting. The quiet anticipation of what might happen next.

A chaotic melodramatic romcom that stays with you even after the curtain fall!
I was scrolling through my X feed when it suddenly dawned on me that the second season of the Japanese gay dating reality show “The Boyfriend” has premiered. It was even more shocking that Netflix had dropped six episodes on the first day itself!!

“The Story of Bi Hyeong: Enchanted Master of the Goblin” is a Korean BL that stands out as one of the most genre-blending dramas of 2025, mixing Korean folk tales, slow-burn romance, and a bit of tension into a story that feels both ancient and modern. While the series is loosely based on a mythological tale drawing inspiration from the folklore surrounding Bi-hyung, the Goblin King, I am not familiar with the tale and will not attempt to write it, as I am afraid I might mistakenly add something different.
