Boy, with Caution

Boy, with Caution (Korean: 소년, 주의) is a South Korean boys' love web drama announced for release on 30 September 2026. It has not been released as this entry is written, and everything recorded here comes from the production's own announcements and from Korean press coverage of them rather than from a viewing.

Nakwon Mansion produces and Lee Son-eum directs. The drama goes out on Heavenly, a Korean streaming service that carries boys' love exclusively. Soompi lists a weekly Wednesday slot at 12:00 KST; Sports Kyunghyang gives the release date as the thirtieth. The number of episodes has not been stated in either report, which is common for short-form Korean BL and is one of several gaps this record leaves open rather than fills with a guess.

Ryu Se-il plays Jang Ki-woo, a substitute teacher whom The Movie Database describes as thirty-two, posted to a school where he is not expected to stay and having largely set aside his own ambitions. Ha Jung-hun plays Lee Hyun-jae, twenty-one and repeating a year of high school. The premise as published has each of them recognising something damaged in the other, so that what begins as reluctant supervision turns into an attachment neither is in a position to act on.

Sports Kyunghyang states that the drama is original rather than adapted, which sets it apart from most of the Japanese and Thai boys' love titles arriving in the same season, nearly all of which come from manga or novels.

The teacher-and-student framing is the declared subject rather than an incidental detail, and the eleven-year gap between the two characters is something the publicity foregrounds. How the finished drama handles that is not a question this record can answer in advance, which is why no score is recorded.
