Imperfectly Perfect Korean School BL

"Blueming" is a delightful story that reminds us not to judge a book by its cover, as both lead characters hide personal traumas behind their seemingly perfect exteriors due to their parents.

The series follows Cha Si Won, who believes that good looks and popularity go hand in hand. Driven by his mother's insensitive comments, he strives to be popular by maintaining a strict regime and a pleasant personality. However, his confidence is shaken when he encounters Hyeong Da Un, another seemingly perfect guy with excellent grades, wealth, and a charming personality. Si Won's encounters with Da Un lead to unexpected twists and turns in their relationship, especially when they end up working together on a film project. As they spend more time together, Si Won begins to see Da Un in a different light, and their bond deepens.

The heartwarming journey of Si Won and Da Un's romance touches your heart in the best way. Both characters are beautifully flawed, and their development throughout the series is captivating. "Blueming" avoids the typical school BL tropes found in Thai BLs and presents a concise yet impactful story without filler scenes. The fans' love for the series and the chemistry between the main characters paved the way for a well-deserved season 2, where their relationship will be further explored.

This series sets a shining example for Thai BLs by delivering a compelling story without unnecessary prolongation. By understanding what the fans want, "Blueming" proves that a well-crafted second season can be more successful than churning out subpar sequels like "2gether" and "Still 2gether." "Blueming" showcases the potential of Korean BLs and demonstrates how quality storytelling can lead to both critical acclaim and financial success.
