Renwa May 28 2026 6:42 pm Soul Mate is just spectacular and in my opinion up there as one of the greats. Every moment needs to be savored in this universal love story. Labels don’t belong here. The script is deep with a light touch, the direction clearly with a pro at the helm. The actors are skilled, courageous and the most sensitive and nuanced of human beings. Experience this drama yourself. It’s very special. Yes, award worthy at every level. It’s a WOW!

Anni May 18 2026 5:42 pm Great drama! I’ve always liked Taecyeon’s acting. Loved the storyline and the meaning behind the drama. Just couldn’t believe a white truck had to make an appearance…I thought that was only in Kdramas and not Jdramas!!

Ahn11 May 16 2026 11:13 pm I loved the story, the actors, the way they were going through the struggles together as soulmates. What a deep story. I highly recommend watching it!

Kdrama Paksanim May 15 2026 5:29 am I don’t know why but I don’t feel this is a bl. Is Ryu asexual and does he keep gay gays as his best friends. There’s a lot of emotional intimacy but it feels like Arato and Yohan were in a jaksarang with Ryu and Ryu was their best friend. It was sad it was touching. Beautiful drama about a homosocial relationship between a gay guy and a guy whose sexuality was never defined and their relationship was never defined. When I think of bl I think of heesu in class 2 but not this.

Guest Jul 21 2024 10:28 am Honestly, I am intrigued! Taecyeon seems to be a very kind and talented person. I hope bigoted people will overcome their narrow mindsets and find to enjoy the series for what it is, its story and the acting. Acknowledging the effort and work put into this project. Looking forward to it!
