During the World Cup, while my friends and I were at our neighbourhood bar waiting for a game to begin, we happened to catch a Korean drama being shown at the bar. We amused ourselves by making up English subtitles, inventing a plot hinging on pizza toppings. When two cute guys showed up in a house together, I piped up to suggest they were lovers.
The scene continued, and the clear affection and on-screen romance between the pair began to build, so that we were soon wondering if my jest had been true. Flash forward a few months and some research, and it turns out we were right! The drama, Life is Beautiful, had for the first time on maintream Korean TV, written a gay love story into the plot.
The clip is below (with English subtitles) for your viewing pleasure. The scene starts a little ways into the video.
