In the past year or so, short BL series available only on YouTube channels have been popping up online. I’m not talking about just the short-form vertical series, but also short episodes filmed in wide-screen. The Secret of The Secretary 甘くて、危険な恋の魔法 & The Guy Next Door 옆방 남자 are two such short BL series made by SEEKFilm and available on their SEEKMedia channel.
Three hearts. One dangerous obsession.
When desire blurs the lines between love and betrayal…
“How dare you take off HIS pants right before my eyes?”
The Secret of The Secretary 甘くて、危険な恋の魔法 is a 3-episode Japanese short BL series that premiered on July 25, 2025, and continued the next two Fridays on August 1, 2025 and August 8, 2025. The full 3 episodes, in just under 12 minutes, can now be watched for free on SEEKMedia channel.
Next, The Guy Next Door 옆방 남자 is a Korean short BL series which will premiere on September 6, 2025 and continue on September 10, 2025. It is quite confusing if there will be more episodes after that, or just the two episodes only. On their social media, it listed Ep 1 (part 1 of 2) on September 6, and Ep 1 (part 2 of 2) on September 10, and then it said every Saturday & Wednesday which indicated that there will be more episodes after that…
“Your noise was the sound that protected me.”
A dangerous deal and a hot romance between a novelist who wanted perfect solitude and a musician afraid of the night.
Oh Ssian is going crazy from the guitar sounds piercing through his wall every night. His only escape — writing — is being disrupted. What he doesn’t know is that for Lee Junwoo, that noisy guitar is his silent scream against the monstrous loneliness that swallows him if he stays awake.
Bound by a worst first meeting and an absurd deal — “Keep quiet. In return, I’ll buy you coffee.” — the two slowly peer into each other’s wounds and solitude. They soon find themselves in a relationship where they can neither sleep nor stay awake without the other’s “noise.”
“Like the protagonist in your novel, my role is to break your rules.”
In a convenience store storage room, a blacked-out hallway, on a dawn rooftop… As the physical distance between them closes, so do their hearts. Their nights, stained with wounds and passion, become filled with desire for each other and creative inspiration.
Two men who see each other’s deepest wounds.
The emotions that started beyond the wall begin to shake their hearts and bodies.
A story of healing and love born from the collision of two worlds divided by a thin wall. Could he be the one to protect your night?
