Akafuji Yuichiro, a popular and charming actor, and Aoyagi Hajime, a former child star who's lost his spark, are cast as the leads in a live-action adaptation of a hit BL manga. To prep for the role, they move in together, but their relationship is rocky from the start. Akafuji's cold attitude toward Aoyagi only fuels his dislike. Little do they know, Akafuji is secretly in love with Aoyagi, and Aoyagi thinks Akafuji just can't stand him. Their misunderstandings lead to a hilarious, heartwarming cohabitation romance.

This is how you do romcom bl

I haven't laughed this much for a series recently. It's not about comedy scenes but they delivered it brilliantly.
we can see the helplessness of the main lead (akafuji) to stay calm from his crush.. not just a crush, aoyagi is his everything. They are the perfect one's for this role. Because, not everyone can do the secret romance, tension, jealousy with humour in it, but they done it beautifully. I really loved the hidden aoyagi printed t shirt, the hand kiss, and his faint. omg I was laughing out loud and my parents came to me by asking whether you need to see a therapist or not....
I loved the whole cast. Mainly the dialogues of akafuji, 'today our eyes met for 2.7 seconds, I'm certain.. at that time my heart stopped beating'. Seriously who will count those seconds, he's head over heels for aoyagi.
it's a must watch guys.. but it only has 3 episodes... and that's the only negative here.

stellar comedy, need a season 2

Overall: this crack comedy made me laugh but it also made me empathize with Aoyagi. 3 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/3919/i-became-the-main-role-of-a-bl-drama-2023-e01

What I Liked
- laughed many times, it has an exaggerated style of humor which I can struggle with, but they made it work
- the two managers (I need more info on their background)
- how they differentiated between the acting scenes and other scenes
- characters weren't unrealistically stupid, they figure things out
- sweet moments

Room For Improvement
- who falls asleep like that and then doesn't wake up in ep 1???
- needed 5 more seconds at the very end of episode 3
