My Man is Cupid. 7

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 8

Comparable to: Strong Girl Do Bong Soon (kdrama); Angels Last Mission (kdrama) ; Tale of the Nine Tailed (kdrama)

Usually I loved these fantasy type dramas but for some reason something was missing for me with this one. Still enjoyed it, but not the ‘oh my god can’t wait for the next episode’ type, just meh. I loved the storyline, it’s a great plot, but the writing, editing and unfortunately for me, the lack of chemistry between the main leads just gave it an overall ho hum of a series. Probably would have done better with a 10 episode series too.

A pretty romance for a pretty day ˋ( ° ▽、° )

Behind Cut (Romance/Slice of life) 2021 - 8 episodes

Korean BL

Rating: 10/10

On a sunny day, what could be more refreshing than a romance that's as beautiful as it is simple? If you're looking for that kind of refreshment, then I highly recommend Behind Cut! Ki jin and Yeong woo will prove to you that love still exists and that there's nothing easier than falling in love. Like them, you could well find your soulmate on the run from an ex you met on a street corner life made you pick up for no reason.

Yeong Woo is a very positive, hard-working, and straightforward young man. He loves his life and puts his heart into everything he does, whether it's his work or caring for others. His radiant smile soon gets the better of Ki Jin, a promising apprentice designer who is putting all his energy into fulfilling his dream. As their paths cross, Ki Jin and Yeong Woo discover and accompany each other on their respective life journeys, both of which are turned completely upside down by the other. While Ki Jin sees it as a way of deepening his dream and sharing it with the person he loves, Yeong Woo sees it as a new, unknown path to discover, with no particular motivation other than his feelings for Ki Jin.

Between sweet romance and solid friendship despite the blunders, Behind Cut explores all the subjects of building relationships, trust, and discovering each other and oneself with a great deal of positivity. Despite some difficult moments, the well-written plot takes us down well-trodden paths with a unique twist. The highly engaging characters will make you lose all sense of time and plunge you into an everyday reality that will seem almost too real to be true. The excellent acting combined with the high-quality direction of this series makes it a must-see!

Behind Cut will take you back to the fragility of young people discovering themselves and love at the same time but without any of the frills. You'll be immersed in a daily life stripped of any excessive narration. Let yourself be lulled by the simple, pungent feelings of our protagonists, who experience both the pain and the sweetness of love. The only negative point: eight episodes are far too few to enjoy a story of this quality...

[consterions]

so the actor who portrayed ban dongwook in a breeze of love is ANOTHER member of the man blk. and so it's safe to say that half of the group had played in bl drama, where the four of them portrayed gay characters.

adding this just in case:

choe chanyi - shin daon (light on me), second lead, woo taekyung's love interest

go woojin - namgoon shiwoon (light on me), but he doesn't have same sex love interest

eom se-ung - yeong woo (behind cut), main character

cheon seungho - jin won (mr. heart), main character, also appeared as cameo in where your eyes linger

shin jeongyu - ban dongwook (a breeze of love), main character

and soon to come

yoon junwon - seonghoon (eccentric romance), main character

Yeong-Woo bebe being a hottie.

Park Jun Hee, also known by his stage name Jun, is a member of A.C.E. He stared in recent historical BL, Tinted With You. (Yes there’s boys kissing.) 

He’s not the first Idol to appear in a BL, but he’s certainly one of the most famous. 

Ironically the first idol to appeal in a Korean BL role is probubly Japanese idol Terada Takuya (who was 1/2 of the BL couple in 2015′s The Lover). 

The first Korean idol to do so was Khan (Yoo Dong Kyun) of ZPZG, who was in Tropical Night (2017). It sad. 

More Idols in BL?

Cheon Seung Ho (THE MAN BLK) in Mr. Heart

Kang In Soo (MYNAME) in Wish You & Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding 

Lee Sang (IMFACT) in Wish You 

Kim Yoo Hwan (SPEED) in The Tasty Florida 

Hur Hyun Jun (AKA Hwall of THE BOYZ) in Color Rush 

Son Woo Hyun (AKA Ghun of X-5) in To My Star

Han Sang Hyuk (Hyuk of VIXX) in Color Rush 2

Kim Ji Woong (INX) in Kissable Lips

Park Jae Chan (DONGKIZ) in Semantic Error

This has been a brief history of idols in BLs, I’m sure I missed some and I’m sure there will be more.

Kpop Idols in BLs 

Ironically the first idol to appeal in a Korean BL role so far as I can tell is Japanese idol Terada Takuya (Cross Gene) who was ½ of the BL couple in 2015′s The Lover.

The first Korean idol to do so was Yoo Dong Kyun (Khan of ZPZG), who was in Tropical Night (2017). It v. sad.

He’s the white shirt in this one (watch until the end, that swing flip I CAN’T EVEN. And he’s the ripped jeans + run dmc shirt in this one (yeah they’re fucking dancing in wheelies).

This has been a brief history of idols in BLs, Love in Spring not included. I’m sure I missed some and I’m sure there will be more. Comment with additions, please. 

I’m stopping now. Pretty much every new KBL has soem kinda idol in it from 2023 on. It’s actually stranger to see one without an idol now.

I did dither over THE MAN BLK legitimately counting for various reasons, but then decided Kpop-ness is not my judgement to make, and left them all in. 

Also it should be noted that Rowoon of SF9 does a killer job as a bisexual character in The King’s Affection, but that’s not BL. 

Kpop MV BLs:

K.will - Please don't... - unquestionably the most famous, this is a tragic BL and features two extremely famous Kdrama actors from almost a decade ago! 

Park Won - Fuxxxxx crazy - features Han Se Jin from Mr Heart and Lee Ki Hyun from Light On Me) 

Park Won - Fuxxxxx crazy - in English, vocal by 스텔라장, with additional sexy footage 

The Rose - Beauty and the Beast - 3 fairy stories, one of which is gay 

OnlyOneOf’s hit libitO also has BL themes. 

LOVE is RIGHT

There’s a lot more sensuality and queer context out there, so I’ll pass you along to this fun video on the subject with samples. 

The OnlyOneOf BL MV series 

YooJung (main dancer, visual) - begin - BL love story continued in... 

KB (lead rapper, visual) - be free - continuation and other side of above story 

JunJi (lead vocalist, lead dancer) - be mine - second BL couple story continued in... 

Rie (lead vocalist, lead dancer) - because - other side of above second couple, this one has the BL pool trope and is a break up MV 

Mill (main rapper) - beat - this is my favorite of the series it’s a “saving him from his bullies” romance, very cute, completed in... 

Nine 'beyOnd' (vocalist, mak) - beyond - other side of above third couple, bit of a bad boy trope 

Bonus: 'Fuxxxxx Crazy' MV Making Film 

Most of Holland’s stuff is hella gay, but not necessarily BL. 

Taiwanese Bl actor, Lin Yu (OuWen in Love is Science?) featured in a sad gay MV

MOAR? 

Takara & Amagi were both played by Jpop idols. Arata Sato is a member of IMPACTors, and Oriyama Nao of Shounen Ninja (both groups are managed by Johnny's Jr). I’m not going to track the Jpops in JBLs because challenges.

That said, 2022′s The Usual Night (Twitter account) from Japan is a 10-ep fake documentary series starring the members of Jpop group the Fantastics. It flew under everyone’s radars but apparently has a BL subplot featuring Yagi Yusei (My Beautiful Man) and Seguchi Leiya. This officially means they beat OnlyOneOf to the punch as the first inter-group BL pairing. Keito Kimura (Onoe from Candy Color Paradox) is also a member of Fantastics and in the show. Source reddit.

Follow up question: 

Do I think any MAJOR idols will do BL? 

I think it's pretty unlikely right now.

ACE's Jun is probubly the biggest idol to have done a BL so far (at the time, pre-BL, not post). I do think the Jaehyun (NCT) possibly doing a BL thing thing was a rumor. Boy do I neither care nor want to argue about this, please don't comment on the subject. He's cute, it'd be fun, *waves hand in air* go away NCTzens.

If it's a major idol currently active it'll be a non-Korean (contract allowing) or one of those 3rd Gen out-of-contracts we are about to see a lot more of. (You better believe everyone is watching GOT7 to see what they do and how they handle it, so...)

But I think BL will still only be able to tap second tear idols even then - so VIXX not GOT7, for example. No shade on VIXX, they’re amazing, but they don’t have the same numbers in any arena, literally and figuratively. Also those from defunked and fractured groups seem to be fair game. And it’ll still be mostly the shorter idols who want to break into acting. And/or the ones old enough not to give a shit about reputation anymore. (None of this applies to Japan, attitudes are way different there.) 

The personality of the idol really plays into this too. Like I could see Ten or Yuta (NCT) being all “fuck it, I’m doing a BL” (eventually) but not Mark (GOT7) for example. 

It's unlikely any studio would allow a highly active 4th gen do a BL. And yes, I do think it's studio controls in place, they’re very careful with their stable.

You don't let a triple crown racehorse do dressage no matter how popular dressage becomes. 

That said, if the racehorse doesn’t perform well but dressage can somehow help?

Kpop group DKZ’s prior album first week’s sales? 1,482. Comeback in April 2022? 107,965.

The reason for that 100x increase? Most likely Park Jae Chan’s appearance as SongWoo in Semantic Error.

Apparently he had to convince his company to let him do it. 

Do you feel drunk with power BL universe? I do. (info via KPOP Junkee)

In other news NuNew & Nat (Thai BL Cutie Pie) do a fun acoustic cover of Blackpink’s Lovesick Girls, which I find rather amusing for some reason. 

Other BL + Kpop crossover stuff from me: 

BLs as K-pop groups

Match a Kpop song to that BL!

My Favorite BL OTSs

Okay so “sing your feelings” is one of my least favorite tropes but still I often get asked about my favorite OSTs (original sound tracks), if I gravitate to anything it’ll just be one OTS (theme song) here are some of mine in no particular order:

Dark Blue Kiss - I genuinely love the weird drama-llama intro music, but yeah, no singing 

Color Rush by Ryu Su Jeong and Finding You Kwon Soon Il- I like both theme songs enough to have actually purchased them 

Wish You’s Wish For You by Kang In Soo & Lee Sang (IMFACT)

I'll Be There by Johnny (To My Star) 

Light On Me’s Spark by A.C.E. 

Ocean Likes Me by Holland (for the BL of the same name)

My Oxygen sung by Nut (though I got tired of it fast) 

I Still by Leo (VIXX) for Happy Ending Romance (Leo’s voice is just...) 

Sunshower by Ayumu Imazu (for Eternal Yesterday) was my favorite of 2022, it’s still lives on my playlist in regular rotation, the BL on the other hand... 

Rainbow - the refrain, not the main theme song, for Love Tractor 

I’m probably missing a few, but I’ll add to this so long a Tumblr lets me.

Summary

Ki Jin is a budding fashion design student who dreams big: He wants to become a world-famous clothing designer. But the journey to the top of South Korea’s fashion tree is not an easy one, and he is struggling to find the right path. One day, on the street, he bumps into Yeong Woo, an ever-optimistic part-time delivery worker. Even though it seems everyone he knows has formulated a grand plan about how their future will unfurl, Yeong Woo doesn’t have a dream. While all others are in a rush to get somewhere in life, it seems that his own life is stuck in first gear.

Although things have got off to a decidedly shaky start for Ki Jin and Yeong Woo, they start to develop a fondness for one another, and start to wonder if their seemingly opposing blend of determinedness and acceptance could be a case of “opposites attract.” But when a leading model named Lee Bin arrives on the scene, things get complicated. He starts to develop a crush on Ki Jin. Could this development spell the end for the fledgling romance between Ki Jin and Yeong Woo?

Man Crush Fandom: Made in Korea

EOM SE UNG

[idolstylekpop]

There are many different bands that we don’t even know about. South Korea is a breeding ground for teams. The worst thing about all this is that such teams have very talented members, are very well prepared for their role and yet do not have the opportunity to show their skills. Performing on stage in front of millions of people is the dream of every idol. Whether it’s a small star or a giant star. Everyone wants to show what they can do. Give it your best shot. I’d like to introduce you to one of those bands. Namely, these are the guys from The Man BLK. 10 very talented young boys with a bit of a slow career. When he writes this, they celebrate their first anniversary. I think the first anniversary is very important for every band so I’m sorry they can’t celebrate it with more fans. I would also like to participate in the event, but I am too far away from them.

Back to the point. The Man BLK is a boysband of 10 members: Jeong Jin Hwan Choi Sung Yong Eom Se Ung Yoon Jun Won Lee Hyeong Seok Choe Chan Yi Ko Woo Jin Cheon Seung Ho Shin Jeong You Kang Tae Woo

They have been in the industry for a year now, but not many people know that they are in the music market. Each member has his own individually assigned color. Everyone also brings something different to the team. The Man Blk is a band based on singing, acting and modeling. This is a multitraines project in which boys have been participating since 10. 10. 2018. They have already released their Various Colors album with 5 songs and a beautifully designed album. It resembles the look of a portfolio of models. I would love to give you more support than just a short post on an anonymous blog somewhere, but at least I hope that it will reach you and you will love their music.
