Love Penalty

Love Penalty (반칙부터 시작할까요?) is a South Korean boys' love web series that premiered on YouTube on Tuesday 15 September 2026 at 9 PM Korean time. It runs for ten episodes of about 24 minutes each, with new episodes arriving every Tuesday and Friday at 9 PM on the CITYBOY_LOG channel.

The Korean title asks "Shall we start with breaking the rules?", and the story is built on that idea of stepping over a line that should have been left alone. The official description says the relationship that began with suspicion became the most dangerous foul, and it follows three people from the moment they cross the boundary they should have stopped at.

The trailer opens at the end of the green season, when the gazes of three people meet across the court. Han U Ju holds his breath to hide a secret, Song Han Bin reaches out to uncover the truth, and Cha Se Jin returns with the past in his hands. Episode 1 begins on the first day of a volleyball training camp, where Song Han Bin joins the team.

Hong Dong Geon plays Han U Ju, Kim Seong Hyuk plays Cha Se Jin and Lee Geon Ho plays Song Han Bin. The series is released exclusively on the CITYBOY_LOG YouTube channel. Episodes 1 and 2 are open to all viewers, and from episode 3 onward the episodes are available to channel members. A two part behind the scenes programme, Love Penalty Behind, accompanies the drama.

Because the episodes are short and arrive twice a week, the ten episode run is spread across about five weeks from the first release, which suits a story built around a single escalating situation rather than a long list of separate plots.
