Oh wow...

I never had “Taecyeon in Japanese BL” on my bingo card for 2024, but here it is. 😊 The drama is called Soulmate and it stars Taecyeon and Isomura Hayato.

Here is the article on MyDramaList about it. And here is the confirmation from the official Netflix account on twitter that it is indeed “a love story between two young men”.

Yay, yay, yay!!! I’m already waiting impatiently. 😊

It sounds nice. <3

[maggie33]

It does. I love Taec, so I just hope it will be good. :)

Btw, I don't watch reality TV, but I've just seen the new trailer for Netflix's The Boyfriend (it's Japanese) and it looks so adorable and wholesome. <3

I saw it, too, it does look cute. I'm not into reality TV, either, but I might check at least the 1st episode. We'll see. :)

“Taecyeon in Japanese BL”

O.M.G. i will watch anything with him in it, no matter how bad it turns out to be, but Japanese BL woooah. Yes!

[maggie33]

I'll try watching anything with Taec, too, because I love him a lot. But I wouldn't dare to dream about drama where he falls in love with a guy. Let's just hope for a happy ending. Or at least not a very tragic one. :)

What great news!

I love him anyway but particularly after our recent disappointment with K.Will's vid, it's lovely to see a major Korean star appearing in a BL work!

[maggie33]

You know what, I had almost exactly the same thought - that it's so great to hear such news after being disappointed with K.Will's new vid. Taecyeon is a well-know actor, and he's a famous idol. And still he chose to do a drama like that. Let's just hope it has a happy ending. :)

The 'happy ending' crossed my mind as well given with a lot of E. Asian dramas there's no guarantee of that at all.

I suspect, strongly, that given it's a star of Taecyeon's calibre this will be one of those dramas with nothing more than hugs and perhaps waking up in the same bed together, but I'm still excited for it!

Yeah, I suspect the same. But like you I am so excited, even if we won't get any kissing. I don't even dream about something more than kissing. Just no tragic ending, please. :)

As it is, there are quite a few Kdrama BLs with no kissing or at best, one closed mouth one... but then it also has to be said that a lot of E. Asian M/F dramas don't go in for anything very graphic either.

No tragic ending will make me happy! Also, I love Taecyeon anyway but I'm also excited that his management would even allow this at his level suggesting things are loosening up even more in Korea.
