I wasn’t able to watch as many Korean dramas as I wanted this year, but thanks to the shorter runtimes, I consumed my fair share of Korean BL dramas! Here’s my ranking of all 30 I watched and my top 10!
There might be a tendency to judge a Korean BL series within a certain parameter. But Love for Love’s Sake (연애 지상주의 구역) is not just an excellent Korean BL drama. It is an excellent Korean drama period. The series is able to transcend and overcome the limitations and hurdles of the emerging Korean BL genre and online streaming format. This romantic fantasy features a higher concept in style, substance and execution than some might be used to, either in Korean BLs or Korean drama as a whole. And its total package makes it a standout and memorable experience.
