May ’25 BL Manhwa of the Month: Love on Hold by Mallinflower & Dalmeong

Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club!

In this episode, we're diving into May's Manhwa of the Month: Love on Hold! This slow-burn BL romance is all about misunderstandings, missed chances, and the quiet ache of unspoken feelings. Join Courtney as she explores the emotional tension between Jeong-yoon, a shy college student nursing a long-time crush, and Chae-heon, the seemingly aloof object of his affection. Despite constantly being brought together by fate, neither of them can seem to take the first step—each convinced the other isn’t interested. But what if they’re both wrong?

With themes of pining, mutual miscommunication, and the bittersweet hope of a love that’s waited too long, Love on Hold will tug at your heartstrings in the best way. Tune in for a spoiler-free intro to the characters and tropes, followed by a spoiler-filled discussion of major plot points, character dynamics, and what Courtney thinks it’ll take for these two to finally get it together. Who’s her delusional boyfriend this month? Is it Jeong-yoon’s earnest yearning or Chae-heon’s hidden softness that wins her over? Listen to find out and weigh in with your thoughts!

Read along with us every month as we explore a new BL anime, BL manga, BL manhwa, or reverse harem romance novel. New episodes drop on the 5th, 15th, and 25th, so make sure to subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app to be part of the book club fun!
