"Kissable Lips" / "A Shoulder To Cry On"
While we do like rom-coms and light stories, a good sad story once in a while is also enjoyable. Plus the more tragic it is, the more we tend to enjoy and get attached to the characters as well. And K-Dramas are good at tricking us into falling for characters with a tragic destiny. But luckily, most of the time, it is still a happy ending and we can ease our pain by enjoying some lovely romance.
And not only regular K-Dramas, but BL K-Dramas also make us go through a roller coaster of emotion. Some make us feel rather sad while still enjoying a passionate romance.

However, because HaYeon is YeonSeok's editor at SinBi Books, YeonSeok can’t escape HaYeon and they naturally grow closer over time.
Reasons to watch: If you've watched the K-Drama "Goblin", you already know what you're in for, and why it's worth watching. Not that the stories are identical, but here again, we have some sort of goblin, YeonSeok lived for 300 years, and only finding his first love can break his curse. But here, the sad part is mostly YeonSeok's past, when we see his memories of his past loves with whom he could never be, it is truly heartbreaking.

Reasons to watch: The actors are playing so well with cat-like and dog-like personalities, and their relationships are just so lovely, you wouldn't want to miss on that. But if it seems all happy and nice, there is a sad twist plot at a point in the story, we let you discover it by yourself. And if Season 1 felt too short, or too sad for you, don't worry because Season 2 has been confirmed by the actors! While we have no official release date yet, we know that what we last saw in the drama isn't the end Of JungWoo, Choco, and Milk's story.

But if things couldn't get weirder, YuDam tells him that if he wants to live, he has to date him. When one remembers all three lives they spent together and the other has no clue, it's harder to win over one's heart.
Reasons to watch: Another fantastic story about destined love, how could we miss it? But once again, who says fate and curse also mean tragic accidents and heartbreaking scenes. And we don't know what's more painful. The past that only YuDam can remember? DongBaek's ignorance of his past with YuDam? Or when the past repeats itself, yet once again? This drama surely has a lot of emotional scenes stored for you!
Summary: Lee DaYeol dreams of becoming an archery master, he encounters Jo TaeHyun, who picks on him shamelessly. But hate slowly turns into friendship and DaYeol gets to see that TaeHyun hides his feelings because of past wounds. Follow their blooming romance that walks the line between love and hate.
Reasons To Watch: if you're a FOR X, then you shouldn't miss on YeChan and JaeHan's amazing acting in this drama to begin with. But of course, the story of the drama is the most interesting part, as it explores the thin line between love and hate, and how easy it is to go from one to another. And of course, hate, unhealed past wounds, and repressed love are the cause of very heartbreaking and sad scenes. So for a good cry, make sure to watch "A Shoulder To Cry On".
Summary: JiHyun comes from a rural town to study in the capital, but he has a hard time getting used to this new life. At university, he meets with JaeWon, a senior from the surfing club.

As the son of a CEO, the expectations that weigh on him become an obstacle in his relationship with JiHyun. Between past trauma and present student struggles, will JiHyun and JaeWon's relationship be successful?
Reasons to watch: This drama touches upon a lot of serious issues, which already sets a specific tone for the story. And while the evolution of JiHyun and JaeWon's relationship is heartwarming and lovely at points, there are also a lot of obstacles they must face and overcome before being officially together. The past of JaeWon also comes back to haunt him, and this is enough to make you cry while watching this drama.

5 Actors We'd Like To See Star In A BL Drama Again

BL dramas are quite popular these days in South Korea, and as time pass by, the quality improves. But of course, previous Korean BLs are not less good. And for instance, there are a lot of things we can find in recent BLs, that have been there since the beginning! For example, the friends-to-lovers, or enemy-to-lovers trope continues to appear in Korean BLs, it's like a starter pack for BL! Or there is also the school romance that we keep coming back to, because who doesn't like a good school romance web drama to take a time off from the stressful daily life? But another thing that we see in both previous and recent BLs is actors!
As the Korean BL industry emerges, there are more and more dramas produced, and we were lucky to see some actors more than once! It is the case of Won TaeMin, Kim JiWoong, Yoon SeoBin, Jang EuiSoo, Han SeJin, and many more. We love to reunite with our favorite actors in new projects, which allows us to see a new side of them and their acting every time around! Of course, apart from the actors cited above, there are some very talented actors that played in BLs already but haven't made a second appearance. So here are 5 actors that we'd like to see play in a BL once again.
Kang YouSeok, who played the role of Noh ShinWoo in the BL drama "Light On Me" left a big impression on the fans. Not only was his acting very good, but he had this very peculiar reaction where his ears turned vivid red when he was shy. That is something that fans really loved about him, and surely it would be adorable if we could see that once again!
We all discovered Kang EunBin with his wonderful acting in "Blueming", in which he portrayed perfectly the character of ShiWon. EunBin is a very promising rookie actor, and we would love to see him once again in another BL drama, may it be in the same style as "Blueming" or something completely different. EunBin seems like he could be versatile and fit any kind of role!
Choi JaeHyun played in the very first Koreano-Thai BL drama "Peach Of Time" and did an amazing job in his role. He has very strong and powerful acting that we'd love to see again in yet another intriguing and uncommon BL drama! But given his cute visuals, he could also be the perfect actor for a sweet school romance BL!
Kim SeongHyuk played the role of Milk in "Choco Milk Shake", and deserves big praise for it! Even if his character was a human, he had to adopt cat-like attitudes which might not have been easy in terms of acting. So it proves that SeongHyuk is a very good actor already. In the drama, he was part of the side couple of the story, we hope next time we'll get to see him as the main couple!
Kim JunHyung is a new talent who recently played in "All The Liquors". Not only does this actor have adorable visuals we cannot get enough of, but his acting in the drama was remarkable. He really did a great job of acting and conveying the character's emotions all along the drama, and we'd love to see more of him in another BL drama!
Those two actors played together in the BL drama "The Director Who Buys Me Dinner" last year, and recently, the episodes were combined into a movie that got released in some theaters in Seoul. During some of the projections, the two actors came and had a Q&A time with their fans, during which they mentioned that if they had a chance to play again together, they'd gladly do so as they feel they could improve their acting together and give off an even better performance and chemistry. So of course, after hearing this, we can only hope to see them again in another BL together!
Those were some actors that we'd love to see star in a BL drama again, but of course, it doesn't mean we wouldn't want to see all the other actors we previously encountered in BL dramas!
