At least something different...

is the best I can say about this show. It had soooo much potential but the script and acting could not let it shine.
Compared to most of the Thai BL crap we get, this had an interesting premise, but the script did neither develop the characters nor made sense of the whole "drug" case. For me, it felt cobbled together in a hurry.

I have no clue how the case resolved with all the dead around. I can only asume the notebook - or was it a tablet? - was found or Chu left it with Mr. police gay guy, otherwise how could they solve the case? To have two Kims as ML is quite funny to me, but the older Kim was not good in acting at all... he felt out of place at times. Besides not really capable to be a police officer he often felt lost. The younger Kim did his best and I see his talent but he can't lead a BL alone when is partner is not capable - yet.

For young/new talents a workshop would have worked wonders, but I doubt they had one, Production quality overall was good, even the limited locations did not bother me. But the biggest question, how did Mr. police guy find his love? Not explained, he just appeared and we get the typical happy BL end - which I could have lived without. A time-jump where they meet by coincidence, for example Mr. Killer would have his first art exhibition... would have made more sense.

It's no secret that I don't like stories which leave questions or are not logical, especially if it's a kind of suspence, crime or thriller genre. The initial idea was good, but the execution failed. The team gets bonus points for presenting us with a novel concept, with some characters acted out well and suspence background music. Overall it's ok to watch, it's not stellar and not catastrophical bad, but not good either.

This drama series delivers an unforgettable experience from the very first episode. The plot masterfully weaves together suspense, romance, and emotional depth, creating a story that is both captivating and heartfelt. Each scene feels purposeful, drawing the viewer into a world where every twist carries weight and consequence. The pacing is tight, maintaining tension without sacrificing character development, which ensures that the emotional stakes always feel earned.

The standout element of the series is its performances, particularly Xu Kai’s portrayal of the lead character. He brings an intensity and vulnerability to his role that makes each moment feel authentic. His ability to convey complex emotions with subtle expressions keeps the audience fully invested in his journey. The supporting cast complements his performance perfectly, adding layers of warmth, humor, and tension to the narrative.

Visually, the drama is stunning. Cinematography, lighting, and set design work in harmony to create a rich atmosphere that enhances the storytelling. The soundtrack heightens the emotional resonance, with music cues that linger long after an episode ends. These production choices elevate the series from a simple drama to a deeply immersive experience.

What truly sets this drama apart is its ability to balance heart-wrenching moments with uplifting scenes of love, hope, and resilience.

Must watch .. best drama ever

I don’t know what’s wrong with the people who rated this drama, but it’s easily a 10/10 for me. Ignore the rating and just watch—I’m sure most of the negative reviews came from haters. This is hands down the best drama of 2026. Oh Xu Kai! I love him so much, and his performance here is truly award-worthy. The acting is top-notch, the chemistry between the leads is electric, and every scene feels alive with emotion.

The story itself is gripping from the first episode. It blends romance, suspense, and heartfelt drama in a way that kept me glued to the screen the entire time. Every twist and turn left me wanting more, and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. The character development is beautifully done; you really feel connected to their struggles, hopes, and triumphs. The writing is sharp and emotional, perfectly balanced with moments of humor and warmth.

The production quality is also worth mentioning—the cinematography is stunning, the costumes and sets are breathtaking, and the soundtrack fits every mood perfectly. Each episode feels like a cinematic experience. It’s the kind of drama that stays with you long after you finish it, making you think about the characters as if they were real people.

I truly believe this drama deserves more recognition. Give it a try, watch it without paying attention to the ratings, and I promise you will not regret it. For anyone looking for a drama that will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love, this is the one. Thank you to the entire cast and production team for creating such a masterpiece.

This is the BL We Lived For

This is the BL We Lived For. The BL genre is so saturated right now and its good to see production companies try to deliver unique plots even with limited budget.

Short summary. A hunky Guy suddenly appeared in a man's house looking for an evidence of a crime 10 years ago. Guy put the Houseowner in a cage in his own basement because who doesnt keep a cage in their basement, to search for that evidence. Suddenly, Houseowner's friend - an obviously gay twinkie Cop who is looking for a way to clear his father's name, appeared in the house and met Guy - who pretended to be Houseowner's brother. Of course Cop would believe and flirt with Guy because why not? They made love and fell in love. However, Cop realized soon enough that Guy is not Houseowner's brother and is keeping his friend in the basement, but still chose to believe Guy's explanation over his friend. Guy found the evidence he was looking for- same evidence that can clear the Cop's father's name. Chaos ensues as more people appeared the house. After all the killing, Guy and Cop remained alive, and they lived happily ever after, in a beach somewhere.

The good:
1. Great camera work - i dont know what type of camera they used but shots look cinematic, plus great editing and color grading.
2. Unique story.
2. Capable and good looking main leads.

Im so sick of watching Korean BLs with 10+ min per episodes, i honestly dont understand why they cant just make episodes longer when their intended broadcast platform doesnt have limitations on episode length. can someone please explain it to me? That why, i am glad that the episodes for this series are slightly longer than the average Korean BLs. The 5 to 10 minutes added per episodes gave the story enough breathing time so the execution doesnt feel rushed. It felt like a well executed complete story but still i cant help imagine what the show could have been if its a regular length series.

However, the show isnt perfect and there are some loopholes in the story:
1. However twinkie the cop may look, why would he need a self defense training from a random stranger - he is a cop for crying out loud, isnt self-defense and all other kind of defense and offense training already part of cop training?
2. Why would the criminals wait for 10 years to look for the evidence that can implicate them in a crime?
3. its an expensive looking house but people kept showing up unannounced - dont they have a front door or something? Even the father cop suddenly appeared in the living room without even knocking and announcing himself and has the guts to say lets do it by the books.
4. I may get a flak for saying this, i had a hard time identifying all the other cast members - they all look alike with the same styling even in the flashback scene from 10 years ago.

Will i recommend? Yes definitely. it's a 9 out of 10 for me.

I’M HOOKED!

an investigator who’s the son of a murderer meets a prosecutor who’s an absolute psychopath? I’M SEATED!

this is probably my second time seeing Korea doing a crime-thriller BL (first one being The Lie We Lived In, just finished airing today, the same day The Prosecutor’s Proposal started airing!)
I’m always a sucker for crime dramas when it’s done right. and this one seems to be doing a great job at it so far! the production quality, the acting, everything makes it seem like I’m watching a whole a$$ kdrama and not a BL! Korean bl has stepped up their game, and I’m so here for it🥳

this is the story of Lee Chaeha - a newly appointed lower grade investigator, and Ju Taeseon - an infamous highly righteous higher graded prosecutor. Chaeha lived most of his life bearing the “murderer’s son” tag. Taeseon spent most of his life hating murderers, and finding every possible way to punish them.

now, as a prosecutor, Chaeha has immense respect for Taeseon and his work. meanwhile, Taeseon feels nothing but hatred for Chaeha - the son of a murderer.

I had high expectations from the moment they first dropped the trailer for this drama. and then I found out this is directed by the same director as Secret Relationships, my expectations grew even higher. and after the first two episodes, they did not disappoint!

the cinematography is absolutely stunning. the storytelling is full of suspense, keeping us on the edge of our seats. both main leads are doing a phenomenal job. especially Ju Taeseon. bro made me convinced that he’s a psychopath 😭 and the chemistry between them is absolute fire!

the first two episodes have me absolutely hooked. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

my only complaint is, WHY SO SHORT😭 we needed AT LEAST half an hr episodes of this amazingness🥹

My fav

I loved this storyline, it had strongest chemistry and tension between all stories, what i liked is how Arthit most nonchalant character on surface have a lot of depth and pain him, and dao the expressionless boy next door who live in hunted room had most unique personality, he doesn't beat around the bush, he doesn't change his words, when he decides to help ghost he did, when he decided to help arthit find his mom ghost he also did, even traveled for that, i live how their relationship grow till arthit won dao's heart , only part i didnt like was that scene pretty sure everyone can tell which one
Direk was my favorite character so fun to see his relationship with his son
Overall it was fun to watch

After watching the first two episodes of The Prosecutor's Proposal, I'm already hooked. The series does a great job of balancing mystery, investigation, and emotional tension. The chemistry between the two leads feels natural and compelling, making every interaction interesting to watch.

The storytelling is engaging, with enough suspense to keep me curious about what will happen next. The cinematography is beautiful, and the acting feels convincing and heartfelt. Even though it's only been two episodes, the drama has already established an intriguing atmosphere and strong character dynamics.

So far, The Prosecutor's Proposal has made a very promising start, and I'm excited to see how the story develops in the upcoming episodes.

Maybe my favorite story from the anthology

Typhoon and fah storyline pulled all my heartstrings,i was so curious about it when season 1 aired bcz their interactions left me wanting to know their story more, i was thrilled during s2, phoon who suffered a lot from emotional and physical abuse from his father and lost his suppprt system, his sister, who loved him a lot yet died on unfortunate accident, phoon lived with guilt, he basically lived in the dark till he met his crush fah once again, he wanted his love yet tge father once again ruined that for him, it was heartbreaking watching him give up on someone who love, but luckily he met thebest group of friends, ter, north, dao, these three made him try again with cutest idea, fah in other hand struggled to understand the switch on phoon treatment till he learned that yhe boy who gives him daily gift is him, he loved the gift sender so loving phoon wasnt hard, he became his light, helped him against the father, made him meet his mom, it wzs touching.
The scene when phoon let go of fun made me cry a lot

Anyway i kept ranting but i truly loved this story

A rom-com!

I can see how different people can like different things, however I don't understand the negative reviews analysiing this as if it was a documentary on quantum physics.
It's a rom-com! Does it have clichés? Of course. Is it light spirited? That's what I was after. Did I keep on coming back for more and binged episodes until late night? I did! That's how I rate it. Obviously if I find it enjoyable, it means thay for me it was done the right way, the story was interesting enough, the characters were well developed and there were also many insights on the Korean vertical society with its modern evolving... Finally a rom-com that does what it's supposed to be, give positive feel-good vibes. Finally some realistic "bad" characters that don't give anxiety, some everyday life obstacles possible to overcome without ruining the rom-com vibes. To me everything was nicely assembled and, unlike many other dramas, the ending didn't feel rushed nor incomplete. I also have to say that I genuinely laughed at the funny bits, more than in other dramas.
I prefer more countryside locations like hometown cha cha cha, spring fever and sold out on you - but I can't give this less than a 9 as it kept me really good company!

Weakest story

As someone who read original sourcei wasn't excited for adaptation, its excatly how i expected it, the storyline goes from high school bl to Tiger’s heavy mafia family , tgese two parts clashes to me bcz how the mafia part treated as some regular job, what didn't help is the weak acting from supportive characters like tiger's brother or comical mafia boss father.
What i enjoyed is tiger finding family in nao, his twin and mom, their part was my favorite on the serie, if we get back to love stpry, tiger 6year secret crush on nao, his yearning was fun, but till last minute i didn't feel nao romantic love towards him, it felt forced with no buildup from nao side, i wished that part would done better to feel more convincing.

Overall tgis wasnt bad but wasn't good either.

Korean BL Just Raised the Bar With This Crime Thriller Masterpiece

My most anticipated Korean BL of 2026 has finally arrived, and it exceeded every expectation I had.

The moment I found out it was directed by the same director behind Secret Relationships, The Time of Fever and The Director Who Buys Me Dinner, my expectations instantly skyrocketed. After watching it, I can confidently say this might be the director's strongest work yet.

What immediately sets this series apart is how boldly it breaks away from the familiar formula of Korean BLs. We've seen school romances, office romances, slice of life stories, and melodramas countless times. A full fledged mystery crime thriller with a BL romance at its core is something we've been waiting for, and this drama delivers from its very first scene.

The story follows two men whose lives were shattered by a murder fifteen years ago. One grew up as the victim's son, while the other carried the lifelong stigma of being the killer's son. Years later, fate brings them back together as a prosecutor and an investigator, forcing them to confront corruption, buried secrets, and the truth behind the case that destroyed both of their families. The premise alone is gripping, but it's the execution that elevates this drama into something truly exceptional.

Si Woo as Chae Ha and Do Gun as Tae Seon completely embody their characters. Every emotion feels authentic, every confrontation believable, and every silence speaks volumes. Their chemistry is magnetic. Despite the heavy crime focused narrative, the emotional tension between them is never overshadowed. Every shared glance, conversation, and confrontation carries incredible weight.

I'm already obsessed with the "the son of the man who killed your father becomes your lover" trope. Tae Seon's hatred toward Chae Ha isn't simple anger. It's years of grief, resentment, and unresolved pain. That emotional distance makes every interaction between them even more compelling. The slow burning tension keeps building with every episode, making even the smallest moments feel emotionally explosive.

I also appreciate that the drama doesn't rely on fluffy romance to keep viewers invested. Instead, it embraces a darker, colder, and far more mature tone. Every emotional breakthrough feels earned because it's surrounded by so much pain, conflict, and restraint.

The production quality is phenomenal. The cinematography is sleek and cinematic, the pacing never drags, and the suspense constantly keeps you guessing. The mystery is engaging enough to satisfy crime thriller fans, while the romance simmers beneath the surface, creating a perfect balance between plot progression and emotional development.

Visually, the entire cast looks incredible, but the soundtrack deserves just as much praise. The music amplifies every moment of tension, heartbreak, and anticipation, making each episode feel more like a high budget film than a typical web drama.

One thing that genuinely surprised me is how well this series balances an outstanding story with mature, emotionally significant intimate scenes. It's incredibly rare to find a BL that excels at both.

The ending of Episode 2 completely caught me off guard.
Tae Seon grabs Chae Ha by the neck, forces a kiss on him, bites his lip until it bleeds, then kisses him again. It isn't framed as romantic or passionate. It feels violent, conflicted, and emotionally devastating.

Considering Tae Seon believes Chae Ha's father murdered his own father, you'd expect him to lash out with violence, harsh words, or abuse the authority he holds over Chae Ha. Instead, their confrontation becomes something far more psychologically complicated. The kiss isn't born from love. It's driven by rage, grief, obsession, and years of buried emotions that neither of them knows how to process.

I've honestly never seen a scene executed quite like this in a Korean BL. It was disturbing, emotionally volatile, and unforgettable. Rather than romanticizing the moment, the series presents it as two deeply broken people colliding under impossible circumstances. That complexity made it even more compelling.

Then came Episode 4.
I genuinely didn't think the emotional intensity could climb any higher, but somehow it did.

Although Chae Ha initiates the kiss, the moment Tae Seon responds, the emotional balance shifts completely. Every movement feels desperate, hesitant, and painfully vulnerable. What begins as a kiss quickly transforms into an emotional confrontation where longing, fear, guilt, and suppressed feelings all collide.

The moment Tae Seon covers Chae Ha's eyes while whispering, 'Don't look at me. I don't want to see your face', absolutely shattered me. That single line reveals everything he's been trying to bury. The guilt, the hatred, the desire, and the fear of confronting his own emotions.

Their intimacy isn't portrayed as simple romance or physical attraction. It's messy, conflicted, heartbreaking, and emotionally overwhelming. Every touch feels loaded with years of unresolved trauma, making the scene unforgettable not because of its explicitness, but because of its emotional weight.

Beyond the romance, I love how the drama explores wrongful accusations, generational trauma, corruption, justice, redemption, and the devastating consequences of past decisions. These themes give the story genuine depth and make it feel far more mature than the average BL.

If you're a fan of mystery thrillers, prosecutors, investigators, crime solving duos, enemies to lovers romance, and BLs where the plot is just as compelling as the romance, this series deserves to be at the top of your watchlist.

My only small critique is the ending. The beach scene with the sunset and waves looked like AI/CGI, and I wish we had more screen time of them being together. Hopefully we'll get a Season 2 or at least a special episode because I definitely wasn't ready to say goodbye to these two. That said, this is only a very minor issue and it doesn't affect my overall rating at all. I absolutely loved this series from start to finish!

Only a handful of Korean BLs have truly managed to blend compelling storytelling, layered characters, breathtaking cinematography, and emotionally powerful romance into one complete package. This series is already proving that it belongs among the very best.

For me, The Prosecutor’s Proposal is not just my favorite Korean BL of 2026 so far. It's already shaping up to become one of the best Korean BLs ever made.

Era pra ter sido um bom drama, tinha tudo para ser já que contava com drama, romance e toques de humor. Até o sétimo episódio estava tudo bem, mas a trama começou a ficar chata, enrolada e apontando para um final inverossímil: onde já se viu uma mãe tratar a filha a vida toda como um absolutamente nada a ponto da filha ter uma depressão tão profunda que precisa de um coquetel de soníferos e no final se abraçarem e chorarem copiosamente numa redenção impossível? E o banana do pai (personagem nada a ver com nada) que acabou num programa com a mulher que abanou a própria família? Deu raiva!

Easly best jbl this year

easly one of my fav jbl,the leads have amazing chemistry, their banter is easily the best part, I loved watching zen and ryo rivalry friendship slowly shift into a romance relationship , especially since its obvious ryo has been in love all along,What i loved the most on how different their personalities yet they don't let things drag out, either by words or kisses, w
Only thing that i didnt enjoy is the futami character, his existence shaken up zen a'd ryo a'd made them talk to eo, but he was an annoying character that Im questioning if there was any other way to make our leads talk things out without, anyway he didn't ruin the show but ruined my mood, last episode was wholesome, a show totally worth watching
