    Sure but all three suck

    bear August 14, 2024 9:41 pm

    I think the author's other work, BJ Alex should replace jinx?

    XiELanny August 14, 2024 9:53 pm

    P.s for those that can't read, I'm not saying those ARE the big 3. I'm just asking if you guys think they are. I'm not agreeing they are.

    XiELanny August 14, 2024 9:55 pm

    And to clarify what is a bl manhwa that made bl popular.

    *tbh pearl boy and painter of the night is acceptable...but not jinx hell nahhh...

    Overall I think the big three shud or maybe uk depending on how many knw and have read them.
    Pearl boy, painter of the night and bj Alex
    Are top...since there's literally no one who doesn't know this 3....moreover evn a newly fujoshi or fujodanshi starts with one of them, becoz of their popularity and character development and satisfying end.
    I started with "bj Alex" ( ̄∇ ̄") it was on going during my time.

    Yes it would kinda be the big 3 since they're so popular but they don't deserve the fame steel under silk should replace painter of the night heck should be replaced by a painter behind the curtains.

    Icy River August 14, 2024 10:11 pm

    No let me explain. They're the big three in terms of impact popularity and how well known are outside of bl spaces but as manhwas they aren't good plot wise, character wise, romance wise etc

    seppi August 14, 2024 10:20 pm

    i think it would actually be bj alex, potn, and love is an illusion

    Something in me is telling me that it's this one bc they were very popular back then

    Personally, I think the big 3 would be Painter of the Night, BJ Alex, and Love is an Illusion. But agreeing to what user Icy River mentioned above, they aren't that good plot-wise or character-wise or romance-wise etc.

    POTN - a classic for historical genre. Been reading this back then when it has only like 40+ chapters ongoing and it's all over Twitter, IG, FB, etc.

    BJ Alex - a classic for modern, regular BL genre. When I say regular BL, it's like irl, non-omegaverse. One of my first reads back then when I started getting into this BL thingy due to popular recs across various SNS and I remember this ranking for a long time in the official app.

    LIAL- a classic for omegaverse fans. Literally the first omegaverse manhwa I've read back then when it was still ongoing. People of the internet been yapping about how cute Byul is and fanarts are literally everywhere. Who doesn't know Fargo-nim? It's almost as if this author started the whole recessive omega thingy in korean omegaverse and the very first one to illustrate a colored mpreg showing the omega's actual baby bump and (somehow cute) birth scene.

    Well yeah they're like the most popular ones these days. All three of them are trash, heavy on potn and jinx lol.

    Tch August 14, 2024 10:55 pm

    Only painter of the night is iconic and known enough to be considered "big". Jinx is just known because it sucks and like... Pearl boy...? Really? Its extremely forgetable.

    But still, the bog 3 shounen are called that way because they shaped the way shounen became, not just because they're popular. And none of these can fit this category.

    Honestly the one that would probably fit the most isn't even a bl (Killing Stalking). We can't argue that it had major influence over bl manhwa, intended or not

    Gummy_bear August 14, 2024 11:22 pm

    I was gonna say killing stalking should be up there then I remembered that the author didn’t want it classified as a yaoi or bl lol
