It brings me back an old memory... When we first met.

Why... why are you doing this?

[heretherebedork]

Man, Korea really loves to make BLs about unprocessed grief and how love can help you discover a new version of yourself and a new reason to live after loss.

The way this Korean grumpy soft boi:

Reminded me of this Taiwanese pouty soft boi:

Was...rather distracting.

But nobody broods like a Korean bl actor:

They cannot be topped.

Then what is his type? Why are you curious about that?

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)

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.

but you treating me like i don't exist? that's even harder

Why? Why are we hiding? Because it's a prohibited area. Is it? Of course. We might have got into trouble! I didn't even realize it, I was so confident...
