Netflix’s ‘The Boyfriend’ stands out for allowing its participants the freedom to shape their own journeys. While forming romantic connections is at the heart of the series, living and working together naturally creates space for genuine friendships to develop as well. In season 2, Bomi and Huwei (AKA Puyang Wei) already shared a history, having known each other and gone on a date before the show. This time, however, it was their growing friendship that brought them closer. Cooking meals, running the coffee cart, and sharing everyday things helped them build a stronger foundation and opened the door to more possibilities.
Huwei and Bomi Were Able to be Vulnerable With Each Other
Bomi and Huwei had first met a year before entering the house and had gone on a single date, but their communication had faded. Bomi shared that he’d stopped hearing from Huwei altogether, which left him confused, as he believed there had been a spark. From Huwei’s perspective, he explained that at the time he was seeing several people, was not serious about any one relationship, and had no ill intentions toward Bomi. When given the first opportunity to choose a working partner in the house, Bomi picked Huwei, and the two quickly reconnected, enjoying their time together and openly discussing why they had drifted apart.
Although Huwei admitted to having some interest in Izaya, he remained open to exploring other connections. He also drew interest from Hiroya but avoided giving anyone a clear indication of where his feelings truly lay. When asked to choose a partner for a date, Huwei wrote down Bomi’s name, noting that Izaya seemed firmly paired with William. This raised Bomi’s hopes, but Huwei’s inconsistent behavior soon caused confusion. Eventually, though, Bomi sat down with him and assertively told him how he felt. The latter appreciated the honesty, took some time to understand his own emotions, and eventually came around. He said that he wished to take things slow but was interested in continuing their connection. They went on another date together, and Bomi expressed his wish to show more affection verbally and physically. Huwei took it into account and tried to be there for the person he had chosen.
From that point on, there was little distance between the two, with Huwei even telling Hiroya that he was now focused on Bomi. They spent many evenings just talking and openly acknowledged their feelings for each other. When given the opportunity to travel to Sapporo, both chose each other, and they made the trip together. Their bond continued to grow, and they became more physically comfortable as well, which was evident in their interactions. Huwei even came out to his mother during the process and only shared the details with Bomi initially. When Bomi briefly left to take care of matters at his university, Huwei admitted he would miss him. Later, when Huwei had to leave for Thailand following his grandmother’s passing, he left Bomi a note, making it clear they had truly chosen one another. They both admitted that they missed each other, and on the final day, they decided to leave together as a couple.
Huwei and Bomi Seem to be Making Things Work Between Them
Huwei and Bomi have known each other for a while and even share a brief history. However, it was only during the experience of ‘The Boyfriend’ that they were truly able to open up to one another and build something deeper on their foundation. Two months in a house together allowed them to confront their emotions honestly, creating space for them to establish a genuine romantic connection. A lot of their key moments were about their ability to be vulnerable, as they openly shared their feelings without fear. Since leaving the show, both have chosen to keep their relationship largely private, offering little direct insight into where they currently stand. Still, subtle hints have kept fans speculating.
Observers have pointed out small but telling details, such as the two appearing with the same hairstyle in a recent interview and occasionally dressing in a similar fashion. These coincidences have triggered curiosity about whether they may have influenced each other more deeply than they let on. Their continued discretion suggests that they want to protect whatever relationship they have, rather than define it publicly. While there has been no official confirmation or statement regarding their relationship status, the quiet consistency in their appearances and interactions has left many wondering if Huwei and Bomi are still connected in meaningful ways.
