Love can bloom even amidst the most turbulent of times

Blueming is definitely one of the better South Korean BLs I’ve seen.

The beauty of Blueming is in how it offers astute observations on the relationship between identity and insecurity. It is an honest glimpse into how someone hopes to be seen, liked and validated by revealing the inner workings of an overthinker’s mind – every interaction and conversation stripped down, replayed and analysed.

Si-Won, as someone who cares way too much about what other people think, is a highly relatable character.

Then there’s Da-Woon, the “perfect” kid who is far more self-assured in comparison. With Da-Woon, Si-Won learns that he does not need to be somebody else. He is loved for who he is. Warts and all.

A tender and heartwarming look into how intimacy is built, Blueming shows how love can bloom even amidst the most turbulent of times. It explores the delicate interplay of friendship, romance, family and personal achievement, without trying to cram too much into 10 episodes.
