The acronym "BL" stands for Boys' Love. Readers who appreciate compelling storytelling and LGBTQ+ representation have shown a strong preference for this genre.

While Soohyun lacks a "first love," he does have a "first hate" in the form of his high school friend Eunsung. Eunsung, a well-mannered all-star, consistently finishes first in everything, with Soohyun always coming in second. The only thing that drives Soohyun is his desire to defeat Eunsung; but, after graduation, he settles for a life that is uninteresting and mediocre. One day, Soohyun's inner fires are kindled once more when Eunsung shows up on the news, mired in scandal and, for once, not entirely at peace. In a desperate attempt to witness Eunsung's demise firsthand, Soohyun enters the conflict as a reporter and persuades Eunsung to make a ridiculous bargain with him.

"Checkmate" delves into issues of identity, self-discovery, and the intricacies of romantic relationships. Its complex plotlines, poignant situations, and well-developed characters enthrall readers. Manhwa is a popular choice among BL lovers because it combines romance, drama, and the study of LGBTQ+ relationships.
