Why Eccentric Romance was delayed to premiere?
“Eccentric Romance,” part of a collaborative BL project between South Korea and Thailand, was produced by Hanyang Studio under the ‘Y Evolution 2023’ banner. This project included two other series: “Love Is Like A Cat,” starring Mew Suppasit, and JeffBarcode’s “Wuju Bakery.” Although “Eccentric Romance” was the first completed, all three series faced delays due to legal complications regarding rights issues within the company. These issues led to the suspension of the project while awaiting regulatory resolution. Fans eagerly await the eventual release of all three dramas.
