My Absolute Favourite BLs (of all time)
This is literally just a list of my most favourite (of all time), top-rated BLs! I'm very. very critical and stingy with my 9 and 10 ratings so if you see that I rated a title this, then you better know it's AMAZING.
Side note: YES I am aware that technically The Untamed is not a BL but just try and tell me that it's not obvious they're in love. There are sooo many hints and subtle confessions throughout the show, the show's original source is a BL, and even the director and actors have basically said WWX and LWJ were bfs. Legit, Xiao Zhan (WWX) and Wang Yibo (LWJ) were talking arguing over LWJ being a trash bf for *certain actions in the show* and they've all discussed their love etc etc. Just trust me when I say YOU SHOULD WATCH IT, it's a masterpiece - the only flaws are the wigs lol.

1. O Indomável
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
I'll repeat myself: YES I am aware that technically The Untamed is not a BL but just try and tell me that it's not obvious they're in love. There are sooo many hints and subtle confessions throughout the show, the show's original source is a BL, and even the director and actors have said WWX and LWJ were in love/boyfriends. Legit, Xiao Zhan (WWX) and Wang Yibo (LWJ) were talking/arguing over LWJ being a trash bf for *certain actions in the show*. Just trust me when I say YOU SHOULD WATCH IT, it's a masterpiece - the only flaws are the wigs lol.

6. Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
I'm not going to write longish comments for everything but I'm just going to say that if it wasn't for my love, obsession, and extremely deep emotional attachment to The Untamed, then I Told Sunset About You would 100% be my number 1 favourite BL - and technically, if we don't count The Untamed as a BL in the first place, then ITSAY is my favourite. This is another true MASTERPIECE and I really don't use that word lightly. Everything about ITSAY is beautiful; the cinematography, soundtrack, acting, chemistry, plot, etc. I love how raw and genuine everything feels, nothing feels fake or lacking. And even though BK (Teh) may not have the prettiest crying face, the emotion there is real and raw so I couldn't care less. Do yourself a favour and watch this, followed by the documentary! That makes the whole experience even more beautiful.
I'm so pumped for part 2

7. HIStory3: Armadilha
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
This is the third and only other BL drama I've given a 10/10 rating. All three of these shows are so different and honestly, the tropes in this aren't exactly original but it is for a BL drama. Especially for it being this good. I actually shipped both BL couples (which honestly doesn't happen often lol) immensely and both were so cute. However, the second couple was still my favourite - so pure ugh - and Jack was for sure my favourite character overall. The HIStory franchise as a whole is amazing for the most part (if you exclude the stories in HIStory1) but Trapped tops all the others for me. I know a lot of people who prefer Make Our Days Count but I felt more invested/engaged in Trapped the entire way through, loved all the characters and the MODC ending really brought down my rating for the show.

Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

9. Still 2gether
Thai Special - 2020, 5 episodes
Unpopular opinion: this was low key better than the actual series. Bright and Win acted way more naturally and comfortably with each other this time (most of the head pats, cuddling and cheek kisses were improvised lol) and unlike a lot of short specials of series, this had an actual plot for the most part. It wasn't just fluff. I honestly really loved this.

11. Escritor Adorável

12. Dark Blue Kiss
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Legitimately the best series out of the entire Kiss franchise, ngl. PeteKao are SO CUTE in this. Plus I love the second ship sooooo much.

13. 2gether A Série
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Yes, yes, GMMTV really aren't the best at BLs but honestly, this is one of their best. It still has It's flaws (which is why I gave it an 8.5) but I REALLY loved it and it really stuck with me. Bright (Sarawat) and Win's (Tine) chemistry and acting is superb I gotta say.

wow the feels wow recommend wow i'm gonna cry again

15. Amor Por Acaso
Thai Drama - 2018, 14 episodes
LBC is a little problematic if we're being honest. Plus they did TinCan dirty and I don't really like how the season ended with the whole beach phone convo thing (you know what I'm talking about) like it was kind of a cop out if you ask me. Another thing is even though Perth (Ae) and Saint (Pete) had awesome chemistry, their kissing felt awkward and too rehearsed imo. BUT I STILL LOVED IT WITH MY WHOLE HEART AND AM ATILL OBSESSED OKAY WATCH IT IT'S AMAZING MMKAY.

16. Ele Está Vindo Para Mim
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
I couldn't quite give this a 10/10 and not really for any particular reason. The cinematography was great, soundtrack was good - so was the acting, chemistry, and plot. But there were just a few small things that kept me from being 100% blown away and captivated by this. Honestly, I can't even tell you what those small things are. SO, I gave this a 9.5/10 because it was still AMAZING, unique, had amazing acting (especially from Ohm wow I love him), and it had me crying a lot.
