Kdrama industry welcomes BL stories with adaptations of popular webtoons, fans excited

'Semantic Error's success has made the Kdrama world turn to BL based concepts

Most Kdrama fans have their eyes on BL dramas too, especially those from Thailand. Be it 'TharnType', '2gether the series', or 'Bad buddy', fans have always loved the different plots of boy-love. With the genre attracting more and more viewers, the Kdrama industry is also finally stepping in to produce BL dramas.

To be fair, the Korean film industry has always had BL-based movies and series but they weren’t marketed well. However, with ‘Semantic Error’, a recent BL series starring two K-pop idols, ranking the charts, production companies are beginning to rake in serious profits from the genre. Besides, kpop idols who act in BL series without mentioning their sexuality have earned a lot of curious fans. In fact, Park Seoham, the male lead of ‘Semantic Error’, gained a massive Instagram following after the series was released.

Cradle Studio, a production company, recently released an advertisement regarding staff audition for a BL series. The company said that their future projects will include popular BL webtoons 'Bani and Oppas', 'Secret Relationship', and more originals. Many people were drawn to 'Secret Relationship' since it is a well-known BL webtoon with a hot, thriving plot.

In the series ‘Secret Relationship’, the plot centers around Daon and Sunghyeon. Daon is a frugal man who hails from a poor home and works hard at his business.
