I’ve enjoyed watching BDSM K-dramas Love and Leashes

I’m a sucker for romances. I’ve enjoyed watching K-dramas such as Imitation and Let Me Be Your Knight featuring Lee Jun-young, who debuted with the K-pop band U-KISS.  In both of those dramas he played a brooding musician, often misunderstood by his own bandmates and the world at large. I’m also well aware of Seohyun’s career after debuting with the K-pop band Girls Generation, and have her K-drama Private Lives bookmarked to watch at some point. (So many K-dramas, so little time!) As one of my friends pointed out, K-dramas with romantic storylines can be saccharinely sweet: “too pink-pink.” Of course, they can also be very dark. But typically, they’re quite chaste, and follow a well-established formula.  BDSM K-Drama Love and Leashes Needs Whipping into Shape: https://public.flourish.studio/story/1142961/ https://public.flourish.studio/visualisation/8751044/ So when the trailer for Love and Leashes dropped, I was curious.
