My Girlfriend is The Man introduces itself with a bold concept-a university student whose girlfriend mysteriously transforms into a man. At first glance, it seems to explore themes of love beyond gender and identity transformation. However, what could've been an emotionally rich and progressive story is instead delivered with a lack of clarity and courage.

The drama stumbles heavily in tone and genre. It is marketed like a fantasy romance, but the plot strongly leans into BL-coded dynamics without embracing them fully. The confusion isn't just among viewers-even the original webtoon has been interpreted by many as containing Boys' Love elements, which the producers seem to awkwardly avoid addressing.

In an interview with Allkpop, producer Yoo stated:

> "We plan to include many scenes featuring Kim Ji Eun through flashbacks and imagination. I don't think people will consider it a BL drama."

This kind of statement highlights the problem: instead of owning the narrative or committing to one clear direction, the production opts for dodging responsibility. As a result, the story lacks authenticity, and the characters' emotions feel forced rather than earned.

Visually, the drama is fine, and the cast-composed of idol actors-does their best. But no amount of charm can save a story that refuses to be honest with itself. The ending (and the journey itself) feels hollow, confusing, and emotionally flat.

Ultimately, this is a drama that tries to be "everything" and ends up being nothing at all. If you're looking for genuine romance, compelling storytelling, or proper BL or fantasy - you'd be better off looking elsewhere.
