When I started to read Stranger Than Friends (STF) it was just a surface level and generic BL. It was the classic trope of childhood friends to lovers. As I continued to read, however, things took an insane twist. To avoid spoilers, I won't put much detail, but what I will say is this: Not only was there a genuinely shocking twist, but there was also real-life commentary about closeted queers and marriage culture in Korea. I was so shocked I think I actually screamed. Shitty sex aside, the plot is actually crazy when you get to that point. The side story is also pretty good, but definitely holds nothing to the commentary that's just hidden in the middle of a random yaoi. It's pretty great, though if you're not a fan of this sort of genre in the first place I wouldn't recommend it (Coming from someone who mostly just skips the smut).
