The BL Nook

1. Jung Han-Eum – Leaves Dancing on a Melody

Label: The Crybaby with a Big… Brain
Don’t be fooled by the tears and studious aura. Jung Han-Eum is a group project ride-or-die who takes school seriously but isn’t afraid to speak up. He’s sharp, dramatic, and so easy to fluster… until the shirt comes off.
When Ip Sae discovers that this sweet nerd is hiding a secretly sculpted bod and packing something serious in the pants department, it’s game over. He may be the crybaby of the list, but he’s also got the biggest… potential.

2. Moon Heesop – All For Me

Label: Obsessive Nerd with a Big chest
Hoon Heesop is the clingy, lovestruck nerd of our dreams. The kind who’s been obsessed with his crush for years and isn’t even trying to hide it. Glasses? Check. Messy hair? Check. Big chest and a very noticeable package under those school sweats? Also… check.
At first, Jihan wants nothing to do with this chaos gremlin, but eventually realizes that beneath the awkward nerd exterior is a walking fantasy, one who’s just happy to be kissed. Heesop is the obsessive puppy boyfriend we didn’t know we needed.

3. Park Seon-Woo – Punch Drunk Love

Label: Horny Masochist Nerd
Park Seon-Woo is that one coworker with weird glasses, bad fashion, and a vivid imagination that could land him in HR. A beauty in disguise, he spends most of his time fantasizing about his hot work crush in every spicy, degrading scenario possible and honestly? It’s hilariously sexy.
He’s unapologetically himself: awkward, wild, and deeply committed to the belief that his office crush is the sadistic dom of his dreams. A total masochist nerd with no shame and the stamina of a fanfic gremlin. You can’t not love him.

4. Woo Joohyun – Feel My Benefit

Label: Cutie Omega Caught in Alfa Chaos Joohyun is just a sweet, studious omega trying to make it through college without drama but fate (and one very persistent alfa sunbae) had other plans. Enter Seojun: walking disaster, possessive king, and fully committed to making Joohyun his. Joohyun didn’t sign up for the chaos, the flirting, or the heat-triggering stares, but now he’s one breath away from saying “screw it” and letting nature take its course. We’re just here cheering for the moment he ends up pregnant. Go get your man, Joohyun!

5. Andrew Young – Nerd Project

Label: The Nerdy Top King
Andrew isn’t just a nerd, he’s the nerd. The glasses? Check. The smarts? Off the charts. The body under that lab coat?? God-tier. He’s calm, confident, and sexy in a way that has boys and girls obsessing over him.

Every scene he’s in radiates top energy wrapped in geek aesthetics. He’s the dream: brainy, seductive, emotionally aware, and way too good at everything. If nerds ruled the world, Andrew would be sitting on the throne legs crossed, glasses pushed up, and Luke right where he wants him.

6. Song Dajun – Pride and Persistence

Label: The Mysterious Nerd with Questionable Life Choices
Song Dajun is the quiet, mysterious nerd you think you have figured out until the plot twist hits and you realize he’s full of surprises. After Baek Uigun spots him at the club, all bets are off. Uigun is obsessed, and Dajun? He’s just vibing, going along with it like a human shrug emoji.
Their dynamic is pure chaotic energy: zero communication, maximum tension, and more unanswered questions than a final exam. But Dajun’s cool detachment and secret life make him irresistibly watchable.

7. Lee Soohyun – Checkmate

Label: The Vindictive Nerd with a Soft Center Soohyun may look calm and collected with his stone-cold poker face, but make no mistake, this nerd is on a revenge mission. Once forever stuck in second place behind Eunsung, Soohyun sets out to take his old rival down… academically, emotionally, and maybe a little romantically.
What starts as a battle of brains and petty mind games slowly turns into obsession and then, without meaning to, love. Beneath the cold stares and smug smirks is a soft, lonely heart just dying to be held. It’s nerdy vengeance with a side of emotional damage, and we are so here for it.

8. Hyun Jaemin – Reluctant Encounters

Label: Golden Retriever Gone Feral
Hyun Jaemin isn’t just your typical nerd, he’s the kind that smells his ex-best friend’s scent and decides to ruin lives over it. Once shy and bullied, Jaemin is now a calculating psycho in nerd’s clothing, hellbent on getting revenge and reclaiming the popular hottie who used to be his friend.
His obsession with Taeyoon is deep, twisted, and borderline terrifying but there’s something about the way he wags his tail and destroys boundaries that’s hard to resist. He’s the psycho puppy of this list: obsessive, scent-crazed, and dangerously devoted.

9. Kwon Yoojoon – Monochrome Diary

Label: Shrimp Turned Simp Supreme
Kwon Yoojoon went from awkward little nerd to tall, handsome heartthrob. Glow-up of the century. But despite the transformation, his heart stayed the same: completely, unreasonably, painfully devoted to his crush, Yoon Jiho.
This man loves with no limits. He’s willing to be ruined, ignored, used ANYTHING, as long as Jiho stays close. It’s unhealthy, tragic, and absolutely addictive to watch. He’s the nerdy simp boyfriend who’d walk through fire for Jiho, and we love him for it.

10. Yeon Skylar – Lost in the Cloud

Label: The Secret-Stashing Tsundere Nerd Skylar may look like your standard soft, quiet nerd but don’t let the glasses fool you. Beneath that cute exterior is a camera full of questionable choices and a short fuse. His secret obsession with his crush, Chan-il, gets exposed by Cirrus… and that’s where the chaos really begins.
What follows is a disruptive, messy, addicting relationship that screams tsundere boyfriend realness. Skylar’s guarded, snappy, and hard to crack but once he lets you in? He’s loyal, vulnerable, and totally worth the emotional damage. The nerdy boyfriend with secrets and sass? Yes please.
