Popular BL (Boy Love) webtoon 'Secret Relationships' adapted into a drama starring WEi's Kim Jun Seo

Kakao Entertainment announced on February 27 that its popular webtoon 'Secret Relationships' had been adapted into a live-action drama.

The drama adaptation of 'Secret Relationships,' which was jointly produced by Fuji TV, Playlist, and Kakao Entertainment, aired simultaneously on global platforms such as Watcha, FOD, and iQIYI. WEi member Kim Jun Seo was cast in the lead role.

Not only that, the popular Webtoon was adapted into a web novel. Launched on Kakao Page on the 14th, the novel delved deeper into the inner workings of the characters and their relationships, adding more layers to the original webtoon.

A Kakao Entertainment representative stated, "As the success stories of content based on Kakao Entertainment’s story IP accumulated, collaborations with competitive domestic and international production companies increased. This year, we continued to create opportunities to highlight the excellence of Kakao Entertainment’s IP."

In particular, 'Secret Relationships' debuted at number 1 on the TOP 20 on Watcha's popular watch list.

Korean netizens commented:

"I think this is gaining attention overseas too."

"BL is all about looks, so it doesn't have much of an appeal for me to watch..."

"Wow, Watcha is still operating."

"Oh, I should watch it once there are more episodes, haha."

"Looks like Watcha is hanging on with stuff like this."

"Daon is the best; casting Joo Seong Hyun was a miss."

"I’m keeping it on hold for now, will watch more once episodes accumulate, haha."

"This was the first and last BL webtoon I followed, haha. If the drama is well done, I’d like to watch it. I think the casting for Daon was a good fit, the image matches well."

"I think the actor playing Daon is cute."

"..."

"I wish this drama the best."
