New Korean BL - Jazz for Two

Tae Yi (Song Han Gyeom?) hears a familiar melody filling the empty halls and makes his way to the old music room. He knows his brother is dead, but he can’t help but hope, maybe, just maybe...it’s his brother playing his favorite song. When he slams open the door, however, he finds Se Heon (Kim Jin Kwon), a new transfer student, at the piano. Disappointment comes crashing down and Tae Yi can’t control his anger. How dare Se Heon play his brother’s song? How dare he smile? How dare he say he loves jazz?

“If I ever catch you playing the piano again...that’ll be the end of you.”

And with that begins Tae Yi and Se Heon's story, as unpredictable and visceral as jazz. (Source: BLUPDATE2022 Twitter via MDL)

Adapted from the webtoon "Jazz for Two" (재즈처럼) by Keul Ra Jyu (클라쥬)

Stars

Song Han Gyeom (prev A-Day), Omega X (rapper)

Kim Jin Kwon, Newkidd (leader, sub-vocal)

Byun Sung Tae - lead in Happy Merry Ending

Ko Jae Hyun - side in To My Star

Thoughts

With two active idols in the leads (we think), odds are not great on this one. So far the only truly successful execution of solid BL from active idols has been Semantic Error (and frankly KNK barely counts). Plus this is the production team/director behind A Shoulder to Cry On which I HATED, so yeah...

I'm excited to have anything new from Korea but I'm keeping my expectations low.

My idols in BLs tracking is here (possibly not updated). This won't get on the list until after it releases. Never count your idols until after the BL has hatched.

Happy Merry Ending (2023) - 해피메리엔딩 - Whump List

List by StayDandy Synopsis : Seung Jun is a singing coach and part-time singer at weddings, where he performs without much enthusiasm. He is insecure and withdrawn and has suffered panic attacks since being brutally dumped by his first love. Jae Hyun, a newly hired pianist at the wedding venue, becomes instantly besotted when he meets Seung Jun and immediately sets out to pursue him romantically. Seung Jun, while not rejecting Jae Hyun’s advances outright, is unable to let anyone get close to him. As the two continue to work together at weddings, will the warm and outgoing Jae Hyun succeed in wearing down Seung Jun’s defences? (MDL)

Whumpee : Lee Seung Jun played by Lee Dong Won (left) • Song Jae Hyun played by Byun Sung Tae (right)

Country : 🇰🇷 South Korea Genres : Romance, BL / Boy's Love

Notes : This is a Full Whump List • Adapted from the webtoon“Happy Merry Ending” (해피메리엔딩) by dorae (도래) • S. Korea has been doing a lot of these little vignettes of BL's : short seasons, short episodes. They're not bad, per say, but they always leave me a bit disappointed & disconnected. There's never enough time to flesh out the characters or story - and next thing you know it's over ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Episodes on List : 5 Total Episodes : 8

*Spoilers below*

01 : Lee Seung Jun has a headache, starts to have an anxiety attack, recalling traumatic memories

02 : [flashback] Drunk, carried … collapses, medicates

03 : … continued from previous ep. ... (replay) Collapses, medicates … (@ 6:19 his pure oblivion here is adorable 😆)

06 : (at end) Song Jae Hyun is punched

07 : … continued from previous ep. ... (replay) Punched

(via HAPPY MERRY ENDING)

Seung Jun canta ai matrimoni ed è un maestro di canto, Jae Hyun è un pianista che suona ai matrimoni. I due si conoscono e Jun comprende che Hyun ha un debole per lui, ma non avendo più fiducia nell’amore non permette a nessuno di avvicinarsi. Riuscirà Hyun a frantumare le barriere di Jun?

Lovely Runner 선재 업고 튀어 (2024) Episode 13

"I don't get why you're so conscious of me but rather than spend your time being jealous of me, just protect yourself." -Kim Tae Sung

[anotherfanaccount]

Lovely Runner had the perfect run. The whole premise of it being a fantasy romcom was perfectly written, perfectly executed with a beautiful cast.

Sunjae and Sol were fated to be each other's soulmate. Their love blooms from their soul. So deep the bond that fates intervened when evils of society cut their time short. And in all of this the grandma was their fairy godmother.

The writers really need to be applauded because this was the sweetest and in the same time such a simple story. Timeloop dramas get loopy because logic but there's nothing stopping this magic. It was so well done truly.

Every scene you will think you can predict the direction will surprise you. Sometimes it's just belly aching laughter, Sometimes pure angst, Sometimes happiness that is a smile from ear to ear.

Thank you to the actors too. Actors who really bring in a personality beyond the writing and make the works more valuable have my whole heart.

Happy Merry Ending Episode 4

[stuff-diary]

Man, I'm not ready for Lovely Runner to end in just a few days. It's like the one thing that has helped me get through my current work project in the past two months. I hadn't mentioned on here how much I loved it because... Well, I guess I wanted to keep it to myself until it ended, if that makes any sense. Anyway, I should start steeling myself for the finale 😭😭😭
