Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Adapted from a popular webtoon during Korea's 2015-2018 BL web series boom, when low-budget queer-coded content flourished under 'bromance' labeling to bypass censorship.

Trivia

Choi Woo-shik filmed this between Okja and Parasite — his 'leading a tiny web series' era is wild in retrospect.
