Hikari no Naka

I'd add Shin Woo from Light on Me to the list as well ^^

Ikr! CM has been my gold standard for BL drama but now it has a serious contender :D

Perfect 10/10 from me. Even though it's short and doesn't really follow the plot of novel/manhwa, but the chemistry, production, acting and everything are on spot. The way Jaeyoung lovingly looks at Sangwoo gave me butterflies and reminded me of how Kurosawa looks at Adachi in Cherry Magic. That's what you call great acting :)

Best way to deal with illegal link is to report it, MDL will delete the link.

Ep 5, it progresses quite differently compared to the manhwa but I'm still loving it!! Their chemistry is absolutely sizzling, I love how Jae-young adores Sangwoo a lot. Is it just me or Sangwoo is getting more and more cute with his hat off and Jae-young is getting hotter and hotter (esp with his black waiter outfits)?

You can read it for free on Manta Comics https://manta.net/series/1251. Please support the official one whenever possible ^^

What have we done to deserve such a good BL right in the beginning of the year? Now I have high expectation for another webtoon adaptation, Cherry Blossoms After Winter. The webtoon is really good and lovely, I hope the adaptation will do the justice.

For Viki, just use VPN and try US location, it works for me.

The way Jae-young looked at Sang-woo... *melts*

It's on Viki, I use US VPN.

Yeah, even Sangwoo who is a rigid and rule-abiding person couldn't find anything that Jaeyoung did that was illegal/broke the rules, which really pissed him off XD

This is really good! The directing, editing, acting and chemistry. I love the manhwa and the first 2 eps didn't disappoint, in fact it kinda exceeded my expectation. The actor playing Sangwoo is exactly like I imagined, even though I think he showed a bit more expressions compared to manhwa. Jae-young can come across as smug and a bit greasy in the beginning, but Park Seo-ham quite nailed it with his acting. They changed some stuffs to fit the drama, but it doesn't affect the main story. I hope this will be a start of a more higher quality and budget K-BLs!

Note: I highly recommend reading the manhwa (haven't read the novel tho) in Manta Comic. The art is gorgeous, the story and characters are very well written.

“fetishizing, romanticizing, normalizing, abuse, harassing, and toxicity” the holy words those people always use to diss and look down on BL works and fandoms, as if there is no such things on hetero relationships.

The publisher uses the translators who fan-translated the novel, that's why the translations are great and keep close to the original as much as possible. I really appreciate the publisher, this is a great mutual relationship that benefits the readers too. Still waiting for my copy of HoB though...

Just a warning, Japan is very strict with their content's copyright. They prohibit any forms of reproduction of their contents and there are already a lot of cases where the copyright's owner strike videos on YT because it violates their rights.

It works with Indonesian VPN. Not sure if the subs is the best, but it's ok since the story itself is pretty simple.

This is the weirdest business model. They charge people for subscription but can't even provide basic service. Not to mention they benefit financially from the subbers who provide free subs. I have long cancelled my subscription, not sure if I wanna support this kind of business model.

First 2 eps are surprisingly enjoyable. It's clearly a low budget production, but the cinematography, settings and music are so far acceptable. I love Yeong-woo, he is such a nice and sweet boy and the actor plays it very naturally.

I don't think we will hear any news about sequel anytime soon, usually it takes about half to one year before they will announce any sequel. Even the wildly popular Cherry Magic took one year to announce the movie. It will also depend on the sales of the DVD/Blu-ray before they decide. So yeah, patience is our best friend when it comes to J-drama.

My bad, it should be on the top right side. User Ximmich has explained it well.
