Recommendation BL Manhwa
This is not donghua but a manhwa I happen to find. This manhwa still needs to be finished, and there is still much to be revealed. However, I felt compelled to write a review because I adore it.
The title is “Shining Summer”. So far, I enjoy this manhwa. I am not sure if the original tags said "psychological" or "body swap," but I prefer to think of it as psychological. There are numerous theories about this manhwa, but none of them have been proven.
Title: Shining Summer
Genre: Shounen ai, Drama, Slice of Life, Psychological (?)
Tags: Bodyswap (?), Manipulative Seme, Childhood Crush, Personality Change, High School, Accident/s
Current Chapters: 66
Rating: 10/10 (This is just my thing. Don’t mind the manipulative seme. You’d be his bitch. )
The story started when the MC and ML were 10 years old. They were involved in a bus accident on their way to the dojo where they had enrolled. Because the ML shielded MC, he only sustained minor injuries. Because of the accident, ML seemed to become a different person. He was saying that he does not know this boy who goes by the name Jihoon. He claims that Jihoon is not his name, that this is not his body, and that those are not his parents. MC was distraught and came out of the hospital room, crying. Is he telling the truth, or is it a truth he claimed by himself because of a head injury? Maybe it is more complicated than that...
You understand what I mean by "psychological" and "body swap." ML believed he swapped bodies with the original Jihoon, so when he grew up and reconnected with MC, they went looking for his original body.
I like the pacing of this story. The pacing is perfect for a story of this genre. Some people are upset about it, but I do not think there is anything wrong with the pacing taking so long to develop. This book requires a good build-up because there are many mysteries lurking. Not only to build up the plot but also to build up and flesh out their characters. The writer is doing great. This book keeps me going because I am curious about what is going to happen next.
Characters are also well-developed. They are not flat. Even the minor characters are well-developed. I particularly liked how the author shaped the ML into who he is. He is not entirely a good person; despite the book's many cute moments, he is not designed to be fluffy. That is fine because his character is tailor-made for him, given what he is been through. I just hope the best for him because he’s been through so much. Imagine if you were in his shoes. Most people would lose their minds.
I just hope the plot does not veer off course. And, if it does, I hope it swerves like a race car. I have high expectations for this manhwa. I wanted to savor it while also learning more about it and reading more of it.

My Top 10 BLs Of 2022
Alrighty this was very hard to choose cause I think, for me at least, this has been probably the best year of BL I've ever had, this year were some of the best shows ever just a lot of hit after hit after hit. Unfortunately there were some shows that I had to leave out cause I was trying to keep it a strict 10:5 ratio cause even numbers but I do feel very very very good about this list regardless, it's not in a particular order cause I can't rank them for there will be tears and it doesn't include anything that I'm currently watching, only shows that ENDED in 2022
SIDENOTE: Bad Buddy is not on my list, yes I finished in 2022 but I put it on my 2021 list cause my BL watching was VERY lacking in 2021 so I started pulling from my currently watching but I refused to do that this year cause y'all know if I was between us would be on here
10. Not Me
Tumblr media
Not me has such a strong political statement to the point of when I was watching, every couple of episodes I would go “how did they get away with this” given that it was such a current situation and they did that while also giving me family drama, amazing romances, found family and fucking so well that it wakes your twin brother out of a coma and that’s what I call a perfectly balanced series
9. The Eclipse
Tumblr media
The eclipse has such a AMAZING message with a side of mystery, every episode was just so exciting to watch, and like before the eclipse I knew First was a really good actor from watching Not me and I thought Khaotung was great in 2gether like he was such a stand out side character but the Eclipse was NEXT LEVEL for the both of them like I knew they were really good but them in the eclipse were out of this world, as a unit they work SOOO well together but especially by themselves they are just unbelievable, and I just love a twist so when we officially found out Dika and Chaddok has been in a relationship it was just so justifying cause I knew it and we got see them fall in love, just the scene of chaddok seeing dika for the first time it was such a visually obvious “oh I just fell in love” love at first sight and I loved that
8. Vice Versa
Tumblr media
Ok I know that this isnt everyones cup of tea but this show was EVERYTHING for me, I don't usually do magic/ supernatural/ fantasy BLs but I've been really working on that this year and saying yes to more BLs I wouldn't usually do. when I first caught wind of this show I wasn't really sure but I fell in love with Jimmy on Bad Buddy so when it was announced he was going to be staring in his own show I wanted to follow him regardless. I wasn't sure of the plot until literally the day before it came out and I thought "this might be interesting" plus Jimmy so I was down, at that point i wasn't super into sea, I had seen him in a couple of shows previously and liked him fine so I was like cool and when he was paired with Jimmy I wasn't immediately sold but when vice versa started Im pretty sure I was sold right away I really think JimmySea is what made it for me and I am unbelievably excited for their new show, I honestly think give me any plot you want with JimmySea and I will go gunhoe for it I don't care if it's bad I will be there popcorn in hand never shitting on it even a little bit
7. KinnPorsche
Tumblr media
I remember when this was first announced and you know it kept getting pushed back and postponed for the longest time and usually with shows that go through this even a little bit you’re expectations goes down with each postponement and usually you’re right to do so cause sometimes when it finally premieres it’s not as good as you thought it was going to be so you blame the delays (I’m sure there are other reasons for it short comings but when it happens my first thought is to blame the delays) but every once while that doesn’t matter and show is even better than you thought it was going to be (see Bad Buddy, and Between Us as other examples) and that is Kinnporsche it just blew my expectations out the water I get it’s not for everyone but for me truly I loved it, I just love shows where there is just so much happening and there is just so many different storylines through out the whole series I really hope they do a second season cause there are just too many loose ends plus it’s gotta be my favorite cast I’ve never been caught up with a whole cast and for so long past it’s time of actively being on the way I am with the KP cast
6. Cherry Blossom After Winter
Tumblr media
I love this one cause I feel like a lot of Korean BLs are very one thing is happening and the main plot is just these two people are falling in love and that's all that is happening which is great and I love that and I fully understand why most KBLs are like that with their limited time compared to other country BLs but at the time I believe this was like the first KBL I watched that had more of plot then just two people fall in love, which again is amazing and I love watching BLs like that but at the time this was very refreshing compared to the previous KBLs I had watched at the time
5. My Only 12%
Tumblr media
I was not expecting to like this, I went back and forth on this a bunch on weather I was going to watch it, I hate high school set bls more specifically I hate them when you're constantly being reminded that it set in high school or that them being in high school is so apart of the plot and that is a lot of high school set BLs so I was wary for that reason plus I didn't really like SantaEarth as a pairing for like no reason at all I just didn't vibe with them but what had happened was a bunch of TikToks of them kept popping up in my fyp and gradually I started to love them so before it had premiered I decided to give it shot, I have this thing where sometimes I just straight don't understand some synopsis even if I read 20 times over so I had to read this a couple weeks later then I was ohhhhh and I thought it sounded so interesting and different. it gave me MAJOR itsay AND iptym vibes and I was hear for it they were in high school but it wasn't a main main focus per say and it has amazing pacing, the fact they were able to spend enough time in high school for you to really be in and understand the friendship that Santa and earth had and have them go college and have it feel natural is amazing honestly every plot point just felt very well paced and perfectly just, the only con for me was I hated it when everyone was rushing Eiw to forgive his father and stop being mad with him, it was one of the days of his moms funeral and they kept nagging him about it like let him be in his feelings for a minute, so only that was peeing me off
4. To My Star 2: Our Untold Stories
Tumblr media
I really enjoyed how this was done with them showing us what lead to Ji Woo leaving Seo Joon and their present plus after they got back together but in a bit of a funky order I just love the reveal at the end, all these sweet moments that they were showing us through out the series that you thought were the yesteryears of them and they made you so sad the first time around then when you find out it’s after the fact you like oh my god, I just loved the journey of it all just seeing Ji Woo try to deny seo Joon and convince him that he didn’t still love him but ultimately realizing he couldnt do it and just the scenes of Seo Joon Just being like fine and finally giving up and giving Ji Woo his space and then Ji Woo shows up to finally try and they get back together in the most cute heartwarming scene ever
3. Love In The Air
Tumblr media
Going into this I was not expecting to like this and I did not want to like this, the first episode was pretty on par with what I was expecting I didn't love it and I found myself getting very impatient and just wishing it was over but something happened inbetween episode 1 and 2 and I for some reason I got really excited about watching episode 2 and from that point on I was hooked, I enjoyed the kooky plot lines, I enjoyed the chemistry between the couples and I didn't think it was going to work and have a nice flow once I found out they were splitting the storylines in two but it worked actually so well so much so that there was some BL I was watching that I was like "I wish they'd split the storylines in two like lita did" I really just loved everything about it and obviously this includes the special episode cause Jesus Christ y'all
2. To Sir, With Love
Tumblr media
The minute this was announced I was on board, which for me I hate a period piece but I LOVE a soap opera, my love of soap opera is greater than my hate of period pieces I was so excited for this cause I love the style of lakorns but I refuse to watch straight Thai shows and I forever wanted a gay lakorn to be made (to my knowledge idk of a another one but if you do lmk) on paper this shows has a bunch of stuffs I usually wouldn't go for with regular drama series but because this is a lakorn all the usually cons are pros, period piece? Yes thank you I'm here for it, insanely long episodes? (Which I do actually love when that happens) should have been longer, a lot of episodes? Again should have been longer, when I heard gay lakorn 22 episodes not a worry crossed my mind I was so excited to watch all 22 episodes so when they said that it was going down to 16 I was devastated but then it got bumped to 17 which isn't 22 but still good I loved everything about this show I never walked away from an episode disappointed or feeling even the slightest bit of meh, every episode was just wow, nothing about this show annoyed me at all even the things that shouldve I loved everything about this show so much but one thing I really want to highlight was the relationship between Tian and Yang the best brother relationship ever, it was so sweet and so loyal I was so scared in the beginning that Yangs mom was going to eventually get him to participate in this weird competition with Tian but no matter what she did Yang stayed committed to Tian while also not hating his mom, he didn't love the choices she made but at the end of the day that his mom, plus when he found out about Tian his immediate reaction was just concerned of the stress tian had been under for so long plus the pure giddy that poured out this man at the pure thought of getting to marry pin, I love the main couple of course and I'm so excited for Film and Jams new project and tian is a Angel baby who can do no wrong obviously but yang really stole my heart
1. Old Fashion Cupcake
Tumblr media
This I believe was my favorite Japanese bl I watched this maybe even ever I love a story of older queer love and I love age gap so this really did it for me plus I love a show that is on the shorter side but does a really good job at pacing and timing nothing felt rushed or out of place I just love a show that is short but is so good that it makes you forget that is short, it was just so sweet and meaningful? That's not the right word but I can't think of the word I want, it gives the feeling of reading like I really good peom that you just really understand and really relate to you that just stays with forever
Honorable Mentions
5. Ghost Host, Ghost House
I don't like supernatural BLs very much so I was a bit wary going in, cause I didn't know how the ghost situation was going to be, if Plum was going to be a ghost or Kevin idk, I didn't want a "fall in love with a ghost" storyline but when it was revealed that the family were ghost I was a bit more interested and I enjoyed the Lore of the ghost/ghost world so I stuck around but with one foot out the door, I started this show with the intention of dropping it, I never planned on finishing it I didn't even put it on Mdl or anything but honestly I kept watching it cause I kept forgetting that I was supposed to drop it and then ep 4 came out and changed the game after ep 4 it just got so good and so much better than it has been previously for some reason
4. Gameboys 2
The movie and the series are the same storyline but with some different added scenes in each one and the series being more stretch out storywise, obviously but I feel like the series gives more context extra detail and more happens in the show compared to the movie there are really deep scenes/storylines in the show that seemed more movie worthy but looking back I do realize why the movie was more simple compared to the show
3. Semantic error
This was the second kbl I watched that I liked and the first kbl of 2022 for me I loved it simple as that when I finished it I was for sure going to put this on my overall list but unfortunately for semantic error this was a really good year of BL and I just didn't have the space
2. Eternal Yesterday
Every week I watched this show I was just always sad it was just this overwhelming melancholy that took over my entire being from start to finish and loved it, every week was sad and you knew how it was going to end at the finale and that was ok it was like someone was wrapping me in blanket saying "it's gonna be painful but it's ok I got you", after the last episode it was like content sigh of relief
1. KabeKoji (AKA Kabe Sa Doujin Sakka no Neko Yashiki-kun wa Shouninyokkyuu wo Kojiraseteiru)
kabekoji is soooo good and if I just had enough space this would be on my top ten this was probably my second favorite jbl I watched this year truly a didn't expect this show to go in the directions it went but there were just other shows on my top 10 I wasn't willing to remove, this show had deeper messages than what I was expecting from a manga writer and idol love show and I love shows that get adapted from comics/ mangas that keep the style and it actually works still, kabekoji had the wacky manga tropes but in live action and I loved every second of it
Rewatching
I'm not usually a person that rewatches stuff but these are the shows I'm planning on rewatching in the near future

[3] Korean BLs I have watched so far👇
Tumblr media
Oh! My Assistant
8/10 - the first second episodes was so funny. So many misunderstandings happened, “can’t you just be together??!!!” Such feelings was real during this drama. Joon Seok was soooo annoying🙃👌🏻
Tumblr media
Tinted with You
7/10 - I watched it cause I was curious. I don’t understand the storylines, but manage to finish. I gave it 7 instead of 6 cause it’s unique and the chemistry of the actors
Tumblr media
Blueming
7.5/10 - well, watched it cause of Tiktok, but I couldn’t enjoy it that much. I postponed after watching 4 episodes, then continue it again after about a month. It’s actually good, but I feel like.. we need more intense conflict, they solved it soo dmn easily. I need more fighttt with tears and sadness *uppss* but still have a good happy ending *plak*
Tumblr media
Wish You
7/10 - Both of the main character has almost the same personality, silence and calm… I don’t get it yet, which one is T and B, they switch everytime🥹 the story is about In Su, whose parents don’t want him to be a singer, trying his best to become a singer, I thought that he’ll suicide on the last ep, but he didn’t. It has a happy ending anyway
Tumblr media
Cherry Blossom After Winter
8/10 - I like the plot, don’t really like the characters. Th chemistry was good, but… i feel like He Bom is tooooooo feminine😭 I want him to show a little bit of his manly side (in which he did in the last ep and made me screamed like “eee???!”) he is cute, indeed.
Tumblr media
Kissable Lips
8.5/10 it has a good storyline, I feel bad for them, it has a sad ending😭 I knew it already but still want to watch lol. I recommend to watch this first and assume the Roommates of Poongduck as their afterlife🥹
Tumblr media
Matching! Boys Archery
100/10 THIS KIND OF STORY❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gumush so cuteee!!! This is the real role of woman in a drama!🥹
Tumblr media
Ocean Likes Me
8.9/10 I like the plot, it has a cute storyline. The development of the characters to the positive vibes. I don’t quite understand why Tommy needs to go away from Ba Da when he decides to continue his dream? But I’m glad that they are being together at the end. It also has a really beautiful and calming soundtrack💙
Tumblr media
To My Star 1&2
10/10😭❤️ I Love it!!! The first one has an interesting story, the plot was too fast but it good. Meanwhile the second season has a more intense section (too much actually lol). Both main leads has the same portion of seme sides🤣 they switched every time, but Ji Woo’s actor claimed that he’s the top lol lol lol (though he became cute enough in season2). Highly recommended this one❤️❤️❤️
Tumblr media
The Tasty Florida
6.8/10 well, I feel like… so many holes on the story which needs to be covered. Ya.. it’s a mini series though, but among all mini or short Korean series I have watched, this one needed more clarity. I like the main couple, but.. I ship Eun Kyu and Ji Soo more😭😭😭 I want them to be together lol🤣 sorry not sorry Hae Won😖. Despite my personal taste, it’s still worth to watch✨

Faux Incest in BLs
So the title is quite clickbait-y, but I couldn't resist. I just wanted to kind of talk about it because I started rewatching Cherry Blossom After Winter again, and this is a major part of that story. Faux Incest is actually a surprisingly common trope in BLs and I see a lot of criticism in relation to it. For me specifically, I think it comes down to the portrayal and context.
I will say I specifically despise the accusation of incest, when the story makes it clear there's no blood relation happening. But in fairness I also dislike when the twist is they weren't actually blood related, but thought they were when they started their romantic relationship.
Now I haven't seen every BL (sadly) and I can really only speak about ones I have, but if you have encountered this trope outside of these shows, then please tell me, so I can add to my thesis. I know that faux incest is a common trope everywhere kind of. It's very 'shocking' and 'forbidden' to do step sibling or adopted sibling romance storylines, and you see them in straight media all the time too. Classic #1 example: Clueless. But back to BLs. Specifically the ones that come to mind are Cherry Blossoms After Winter (which is what started this), KinnPorsche, HIStory 4: Close to You, and TharnType.
Tumblr media
I'm going to start with portrayal and when I hit a bit of an ick wall with Xing Se and Yong Jie. In HIStory 4: CTY, you have Xing Se and Yong Je, who are step brothers who were raised together as brothers, and there's a sizable age difference for the characters. I would have to speedrun the series to give you exact numbers, but I think it's somewhere around 8-9 years. They seem to have been a family since Yong Jie was fairly young, I think probably 7-9. Yong Je's feelings for his older stepbrother seem to begin when he's around 12 or 13 I think, and are related to Xing Se being a pretty kind and attentive older sibling. We don't get a lot of information on their relationship once Xing Se moves out of his parents home, but it seems implied that he's not a frequent visitor, but also doesn't avoid seeing his family. There's indication that while Xing Se is 'out' in general, he is not out to his family, and the stress of frequent interaction is what keeps his visits brief and more sporadic. Yong Jie becomes fairly obsessed with Xing Se, and there's all kinds of reasons you can read into why. The obvious are that Xing Se is very confident and personable, while Yong Jie seems to struggle with interpersonal communication. (I find Yong Jie to be pretty strongly autistic-coded, which I hate because it is very negative representation). Xing Se being out, even if not to their parents and that implied freedom is another basis for adoration. In addition to social confidence, Xing Se is someone presented as having excelled academically, which Yong Jie, while not unintelligent, seems to struggle with. In general it's all of the basic idolization of older sibling ideas, but with the addition of Yong Jie recognizing a sexual attraction as well, and that developing into something pretty obsessive. My ick wall is hit of course with the inciting incident of their relationship, which is Yong Jie purposefully getting Xing Se drunk and raping him, as well as recording it. Without that plot point, I don't know that there ever becomes a relationship, but to be honest, them having lived apart for several years, specifically formative years for Yong Jie, I don't know that I would have been particularly disturbed by Yong Jie as a 20 year old man confessing his feelings to Xing Se. And that's based off the fact that at best, Xing Se was recognizing and living with Yong Jie as a sibling for maybe a quarter of his life? Like, would it certainly be an adjustment for Xing Se? 100%, but it's possible, but not likely. As the story stands in how it's told, I feel like Xing Se accepts a romantic relationship with Yong Jie kinda because "well I already fucked him, so...*shrug*". Like they could have a good and interesting relationship and dynamic, but I think Xing Se's feelings of responsibility to his family and his reluctance to 'rock the boat' any more than it's already been rocked kind of take away a lot of the agency in his decision. VERY long story short, for these two--It's a no for me, but it's more because of the sexual assault and coercion than anything else.
Tumblr media
KinnPorsche is gonna have the shortest paragraph...because these two dudes weren't biologically related in any way, and didn't meet each other until they were adults. They weren't overcoming familial feelings. People just seem to like to throw the incest label at them because. Even with the adoption of Nampheung into the Theerapanyakul family, we don't know if that's legal or emotional, because the reality is we can trust Korn as far as Chay could throw him. And since Nampheung completely removed herself from the family as an adult, there's really only the familial connection in Korn's head, which is more related to his desire to control the pawns in his little chess game than actual human affection. Bottomline: KinnPorsche barely counts in the category and while they, like many others struggle with the concept of consent, I don't have an overall issue with their romantic relationship.
Tumblr media
The couple I'm referencing from TharnType is Tum and Tar, and they are honestly barely a secondary couple, and you could almost categorize their characters as tertiary in the story. We do know that they become a couple in the MAME-verse, it's just not fully depicted in the TharnType series. Since we have yet to see their full romance, some things may change, but based on the information we do have, this is a less problematic situation to me than Xing Se and Yong Jie, specifically because of their ages and living situation. They have about a two year age difference, and their parents get married when Tum is 18 and Tar is 16, and that's when they start living together as a family. That time together is pretty brief as Tar goes to study abroad and Tum goes to university, so the reality is they spend very little time living as siblings. Both develop feelings for the other, which they hide, which is another aspect that makes the situation a little less ick on my part. They're both old enough to know their own minds, and it's mutual, which I like a bit better than one character confessing and the other going 'yeah alright, why not?'. So, as the story stands now, barring any egregious consent issues, I'd have no issue with Tum and Tar.
Tumblr media
Now we're gonna talk about Cherry Blossoms After Winter. You'd think I'd have a bit of an issue with Hae Bom and Tae Seong. While they are definitely not blood related, as Hae Bom was adopted by Tae Seong's mother when he was about 7, and he and Tae Seong are the same age. They've lived together for 9 or so years like siblings, except it doesn't seem like they developed any sort of familial affection for each other. When they're introduced, you learn that even though they were in the same grade, they never shared classes. They never hung out really. Like they were essentially roommates who shared a house, and occasionally saw each other in the kitchen. That's the vibe you get from their relationship. I'd say the closest thing we have to sibling behavior is Tae Yeong beating up Hae Bom's bully, which does give very 'only I can terrorize my sibling' vibes, except Tae Yeong doesn't terrorize Hae Bom, he just ignores him. Now there is some resistance on Hae Bom's part over the transition from their previous relationship (however you would categorize it) to a romantic one. But that's not based on it being taboo because they're 'related' but based around the fear that Tae Yeong's mother would not approve (it's inferred that the issue is the gayness, not the perceived familial relationship), and the possibility of Hae Bom losing another maternal figure. In all honesty, if you change the set-up to them being neighbors, Hae Bom with only his father, and Tae Yeong with his mother, and Hae Bom becoming a frequent presence in Tae Yeong's house because his mother also becomes a maternal figure to Hae Bom...could practically have the same story without the faux incest.
As a final point, the 'taboo' state of incest at large is based around the fact that we know it causes negative reproductive repercussions. So, in the context of romantic relationships that can't result in naturally conceived offspring does it really matter if there's a familial relationship? Additionally, with faux incest when there's no blood relation, whether conceiving offspring is possible or not, is that equally as taboo? For me, to be entirely honest, the issues come around with the consideration of possibilities for abuse and assault. Do I technically care if two step siblings decide they have the hots for each other as adults and act on it? No. But the presence of assault, grooming behaviors, coercion, or abuse of power would certainly change my opinion, as it really should regardless of any other information.
Well, I guess I just wrote 1500 words about perceived incest. If you have thoughts let me know.
