5 Sweet BL K-Dramas From 2020s With a Happy Ending
A little something to restore the faith in humanity.
Sometimes all we need after a long day of work is something light and hopeful to watch. With so much stress in real life, there is no better feeling than escaping into a fictional, romanticized reality on screen and feeling the love and warmth by living vicariously through the drama characters.
K-dramas have always been perfect for this, but mostly focused on heterosexual couples. In recent years, however, the industry has heard the call for more queer stories and released some of the sweetest shows with BL couples.
Choose one of the K-dramas below and rest assured, the happy ending is guaranteed!
