Rakuten Viki Marks Pride Month with New Bl Releases “Love Class 3” and “the Lie We Lived In”

The global streaming platform brings a K-pop campus romance and a mystery thriller BL to fans in Southeast Asia and global markets.

Rakuten Viki is celebrating Pride Month with two new BL releases now available to stream for fans in the Philippines, Thailand, and other global markets.

The global Asian entertainment platform has added Love Class 3 and The Lie We Lived In to its growing slate of BL titles, giving viewers two different stories about identity, connection, romance, and belonging.

The new Rakuten Viki BL Releases are available across Southeast Asia, the Americas, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, and India.

Love Class 3 continues the popular Korean BL franchise with a fresh story set against the world of K-pop and entertainment. The series follows Hyun Jae, played by Sae Byeol of K-pop group WAKER, and Soo An, played by Seo Yi Han, as they reunite years after their careers separate them.

Their story explores friendship, ambition, lingering feelings, and the pressure of personal relationships inside the entertainment industry.

The series also features Thai actor Panutuch Saelee alongside South Korean performers Lee Woo Jin, Seo Yi Han, and Sae Byeol, highlighting the cross-cultural appeal of Asian BL storytelling.

Meanwhile, The Lie We Lived In takes a darker route with a mystery thriller romance. The story follows contract killer Seo I Do, played by Kim Seung Beom, whose mission becomes complicated when an unexpected houseguest enters the picture.

Forced into a tense week of cohabitation under a stolen identity, I Do soon discovers that the cheerful stranger growing close to him may be a detective searching for the truth.

According to Rakuten Viki Vice President of Marketing Karen Paek, the releases are part of the platform’s Pride Month celebration and its commitment to making diverse Asian stories accessible to global audiences.

The latest Rakuten Viki BL Releases join other BL favorites on the platform, including Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars, Sammy’s Children’s Day, and Feel What You Feel.

The takeaway: Rakuten Viki’s Pride Month lineup shows the growing reach of BL storytelling, offering fans romance, mystery, identity, and connection across borders.
