Hello! I need help with an idea I have with my BL novel! T^T

My novel is centered around the protagonist, Yohan Yoo, who has an irrational fear about falling in love all because of what a fortune teller had told him years earlier when he was in university. Fast forward nine years later, he's a novelist based in Los Angeles and ends up having to work with a new editor, Andrew Nam, who ends up confessing to him. So, as you can see, I already have a supernatural (?) element to the story!

Here's the problem... I'm not sure if I should continue to add supernatural scenarios involving Korean folklore/ myths about gods and goddesses. I know Tapas is big on fantasy, but I'm not sure if anyone would necessarily be interested in reading a BL novel that has Korean folklore in it (as I'm assuming many people are not aware of Korean folklore). What are your thoughts on incorporating folklore/ myths into stories? Do you have any tips I can maybe use?

Anything would honestly be very very helpful! Thank you in advance!
