Five Hit K-Dramas with a BL (Boys Love) Plot Twist

AKP STAFF

While romance has always been a central theme in many K-dramas, there has been a notable rise in the inclusion of BL (Boys Love) plotlines, adding a new dimension to the genre and challenging traditional notions of love and relationships. BL, a subgenre of romance fiction originating from Japan and gaining traction globally, typically revolves around romantic or intimate relationships between male characters.

Let’s delve into five popular K-dramas with an unexpected BL plot twist.


A Time Called You (2023)

Rowoon’s cameo appearance in 2023’s time travel fiction drama “A Time Called You” as Tae-ha, the love interest of Ahn Hyo Seop’s character Koo Yeon-jun, surprised the viewers and made fans go wild with the BL plot twist. Even though their story did not have a happy ending, the BL storyline featuring two popular actors was a delightful surprise.


My Lovely Liar (2023)

The dramatic and unexpected BL plot twist nearing the end of the 2023 tvN drama “My Lovely Liar” leaves the audience stunned. Episode 14 reveals that Jo Deuk Chan (Yun Ji On), the CEO of J Entertainment and Do Ha's best friend, has always had feelings for the male lead, Do Ha, played by Hwang Min Hyun. 

Revenge of Others (2022)

K-drama Fans were astounded and surprised by the single kissing moment in the non-BL K-Drama "Revenge of Others," which had a BL storyline twist. Wonseok and Sejin, played by Kang Yul and Kang Yi Suk, were in a relationship, and their romance thrilled viewers.
