True. But I guess they wanted focus on both leads instead of Kim Yoo Jung. It may be a formal contractual issue.
Or just simple marketing logic. A lot of people simply aren't interested in female-centric dramas. It's silly, but still the reality. So including the ML makes sense.
Yes he seems to be first billed based on Netflix announcement posts but on MDL it's the common user who add and…
Lol yes, I've basically stopped making updates because they're always rejected saying someone else "got there first" and I'm like sure! I'm guessing it's just staff wanting the points for themselves 🤣

All changes must be approved by Approval Staff. But MDL's rule on cast listing includes an exception from billing where if they have a subjective notion that someone will have a more central role in the plot, they will list them first. It's very odd. So I'm guessing the reasoning here is that Hong Kyung's character is the "protagonist" of the drama.
We had this discussion with The Remarried Empress too, where Ju Ji-hoon is clearly billed second, but MDL lists Lee Jong-suk second instead, apparently because in the source material he is the main love interest to FL. So who can say 🤷♂️
Ryu Jun-yeol seems to be first billed in all the Netflix material and the Naver articles, so I'm not sure why he's listed second here? Maybe it's the MDL "we only follow billing when we want to" thing again.
That is extremely rude when ML has showcased so many excellent acting
Clearly she did not watch Our Unwritten Seoul, because he was wonderful. One of my favorite male lead performances in recent years. And Baeksang nominated!
they are playing high school kids? why not cast younger actors?
Audiences want to watch high-profile actors. And Netflix are not going to cast some unknown, unproven 19-year-old to carry a project they're spending billions of won on.
I thought he looked exactly the same haha, was going to comment that it looked like he was transplanted from sooy…
He has full, fluffy bangs here and not the flat hair with the weird part from SOOY. And it looks like the makeup artist has cooled it on the non-matching foundation.
so I don’t understand if it’s a BL or straight love story? Can anyone explain please?
It's not a love story at all, gay or straight. It's not a romance drama. There will likely be some kind of romance between Bi-o and FL, hence the tag, but it's not the focus of the drama.
I suspect alot of people who wont even ever watch this will be LURKING in the comments section just for the DRAMATICS…
Oh yes, they'll be telling us every week about how they're *not* watching but that they *may* check it out after airing IF! there is no CHEATING! or TOXICITY! 🤣
The way homophobes are so proud of their homophobia is disgusting. Awful people 🤮
I'm not seeing much homophobia here. But I'm seeing a lot of your fetishization of a platonic friendship though, because apparently men cannot be close friends without it being gay.
As well as delusional diatribes of how this is a "censored BL", which is pretty hilarious. You have no leg to stand out calling out other people when you're the one who seems to be off base.
There are a lot of great queer dramas, so this need to make things up here seems silly.

Edit: Kim Min-ha and Noh Sang-hyun are also reuniting after Pachinko in a Netflix movie!
