The Sadistic Beauty Side Stories: Everything You Need To Know About The BL And GL Spinoffs
The world of *Sadistic Beauty* is far more expansive and genre-bending than its main series suggests, with the two distinct *Sadistic Beauty Side Stories* offering fans completely new, yet equally intense, narratives. As of the current date, December 23, 2025, these side stories—known as Side Story A and Side Story B—remain the definitive conclusion and expansion of the controversial universe created by Woo Yeonhui and Lee Geumsan, exploring both GL (Girls' Love) and BL (Boys' Love) themes with the series' signature dark, mature, and BDSM-centric edge. This deep dive will explore the plots, main characters, and the creators behind these highly-demanded webtoon spin-offs.
The original manhwa, known for its psychological thriller elements and exploration of complex, toxic relationships, left a massive fanbase hungry for more. Instead of a direct sequel, the creative team delivered two separate, self-contained stories that focus on fan-favorite supporting characters, allowing the narrative to delve into entirely new relationship dynamics and sexual orientations, which is a rare and ambitious move in the webtoon industry. These side stories essentially serve as a multi-genre epilogue, satisfying different segments of the readership.

- Yang Gye-rin (Side Story A)
- Role: Main protagonist of *Side Story A*.
- Character Arc: Gye-rin is a college student who appeared in the main series. The side story focuses on her journey after leaving the chaotic world of the main plot, allowing her to find a relationship that aligns with her true desires.
- Na Joo-yeon (Side Story A)
- Role: Gye-rin’s new love interest in *Side Story A*.

- Controversy: Wookyung is one of the most polarizing and hated characters in the entire *Sadistic Beauty* universe due to his extreme actions and yandere tendencies. His character drives the intense, dark plot of the BL spin-off.
Sadistic Beauty: Side Story A (The GL Narrative)
Side Story A, also known as "Gaijeon A" or the Yang Gye-rin X Na Joo-yeon story, is a welcome departure for many fans. It is a completed series, typically comprising around 17 to 19 episodes, and is often praised for offering a more positive, albeit still mature, romance.
Plot and Themes of Side Story A
The narrative begins with Yang Gye-rin making a conscious decision to move forward with her life, leaving behind the toxic influences and traumatic experiences associated with the main series' primary characters, including Dona.
In her new setting, Gye-rin meets Na Joo-yeon, a woman who immediately captivates her. The story arc focuses on the development of their relationship, which quickly escalates into a passionate and intense connection. Unlike the main series, which centered on psychological manipulation and trauma, Side Story A is widely regarded as a genuine Girls' Love (GL) story, offering a more consensual and loving, yet still BDSM-themed, dynamic.
The side story is a significant piece of the *Sadistic Beauty* canon because it provides closure and a form of happiness for a character who endured significant hardship in the main plot. It validates Gye-rin's desires and shows her finding a partner who truly understands and respects her kinks, making it a "must-see Yuri series" for fans of the genre.
Sadistic Beauty: Side Story B (The Controversial BL Arc)
In stark contrast to the GL-focused Side Story A, Side Story B, or "Gaijeon B," dives headfirst into one of the darkest and most controversial pairings in the entire franchise: the relationship between Professor Byun Minho and the wealthy sadist, Cha Wookyung. This spin-off is explicitly a Boy's Love (BL) manhwa, but it carries the heaviest psychological and mature themes of the entire series.
The Darker Side of the Sadistic Beauty Universe
The plot of Side Story B centers on the unfortunate Professor Byun Minho, whose life is utterly disrupted following his encounter with Cha Wookyung. Wookyung is a character defined by his wealth, power, and deeply sadistic tendencies, possessing a chillingly possessive and yandere personality.
The narrative is a brutal and unflinching depiction of a toxic, non-consensual relationship, where Minho is repeatedly subjected to abuse and psychological torment by Wookyung. The storyline is highly sensitive and has generated significant discussion and controversy among the readership, with many readers expressing disgust over the constant depiction of assault and the overall abusive storyline.
Despite the difficult content, Side Story B is a crucial piece of the *Sadistic Beauty* lore. It explores the extreme end of the series' BDSM and power-dynamic themes, offering a raw look at a victim-abuser dynamic. The fact that the physical volumes were published as recently as 2024 confirms its status as a recent and definitive part of the series' continuation, ensuring the story of Minho and Wookyung is officially canon.
Topical Authority and The Importance of Reading Order
The existence of two distinct side stories—one GL, one BL—is a testament to the creators' commitment to topical authority within the mature webtoon space. They successfully branched the main series into two different sub-genres while maintaining the core themes of sadism, beauty, and power dynamics.
Does Reading the Main Story First Matter?
A common question among new readers is whether they must read the original *Sadistic Beauty* manhwa before diving into the side stories.
- For Side Story A (GL): It is highly recommended to read the main story first. Gye-rin's character arc and the satisfaction of her finding a healthy relationship are only fully appreciated with the context of her prior trauma and experiences with the main cast, particularly Chun Duna.
- For Side Story B (BL): While the plot is somewhat self-contained, the characters of Minho and Wookyung are introduced in the main series. Understanding their initial dynamic and Wookyung's established personality enhances the impact of the side story. Given the sensitive nature of the content, reading the main series first prepares the reader for the dark psychological tone.
Ultimately, the *Sadistic Beauty Side Stories* are a bold and unique expansion of the franchise. They prove that a successful webtoon can be spun off into multiple genres, catering to different fan demographics while retaining the intense, mature themes that made the original series a global phenomenon. Whether you seek the dark psychological torment of the BL arc or the redemptive, passionate romance of the GL arc, these side stories offer a definitive and unforgettable conclusion to the *Sadistic Beauty* saga. The continued discussion and recent physical releases confirm its enduring relevance in the dark romance and BDSM webtoon community.
