My BL shows

Cliffhanger ending was unexpected.

Currently on-hold

IMO, it took too long  get revealed but watch ep 7 before you decide you're done with the show. It's a key episode.

HR nightmare of CEO dating his intern? As much as Cher and Gun tried to keep their romance secret, everyone seemed to know anyway.

We deserve a Season 2.

Forced proximity trope brings a perfect ending.

TW: One of the MLs has childhood trauma.

Body transformation, supernatural.

Hardly anyone talks about it, but I think it's an underrated show. 

Cute and fluffy with married couple Porsch Apiwat Apiwatsayree and Arm Sappanyoo Panatkool playing Ai's parents.

Sequel to Ai Long Nhai 

A rare collaboration for China, Taiwan and Thailand to bring this Danmei to fruition, where we got a proper BL and not a censored bromance.
TW: dubcon, abuse by parent figure

TW: Suicide

 Censored Adaptation Of Same-sex Original Work 

Cut short due to censorship. BTS found on YouTube are plentiful and entertaining, showing this was far from bromance.

MLs families have been enemies even before they were born, and they are next-door neighbors. Rivals to lovers trope that's well done. Episode 5 rooftop scene was epic.

I didn't feel like this added anything to the original series. 

Far from perfect but I really enjoyed this one with First playing the more serious/reserved character. Ja was the fun, immature college student which he played perfectly.

Leads had excellent chemistry.  One of the few BL series that mentions counseling and medication for treating depression. I was pretty impressed.
TW: Childhood abuse, sexual harassment

Currently on-hold

College relationship ended badly and the two MLs meet at their college library just days before a world-ending meteor will hit the earth. NC scenes are hot!

Fluffy story

Cute story, absolute fan service for OnlyOneOf fans.

A small town has an unusual number of deaths and the medical examiner starts investigating. MaxTul are the BL kings and I'm glad they left left us MoD as part of their legacy. Their skin ship is perfect.
TW: violence, drug abuse

Starts historical then switches to modern as the 100-year mark draws to a close. It becomes more urgent for San to find the reincarnation of Wat. Sensei Tao has made various calculations that lead to Vee, but San is far from accepting that outcome.

Gender bender

A wonderful adaptation of the Japanese 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii but they made it truly Thai. The leads, who always have amazing chemistry, did not disappoint. I have a very slight preference for the Thai version.  

Side story to Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 

Side story of 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii.

also known as Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 

Sequel to 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii 

This is one of the best coming of age LGBTQ+ stories I have seen. Set in Phuket, the scenery is breath-taking. It's well-acted, well-directed, and I loved it. In Teh, we have a character confused about his sexuality as he finds himself attracted to his long-term crush Tan and to Oh-aew, his former best friend with whom he has recently reunited. TW: This emotional drama is not your typical BL.

This is the sequel to ITSAY. It's a roller coaster ride for your emotions, but if you recall your college years and all the bad decisions you made, maybe you'll sympathize with the characters a little better. They're in their late teens to early 20s, and they don't communicate well. As a budding actor, Teh is being ruled by his emotions and passion. Oh-aew has a group of loyal friends who made me laugh and made me cry. TW: infidelity

From comments I've read, this has been toned down from the manga which had SA. Since I didn't read the manga, I got a fluffy version instead which I enjoyed. 

College RomCom. Ignore the "stalker" description in the synopsis. Toh is just over-the-top crushing on Nuea and may have hoarding tendencies. What I loved about this series: the tight friendship of Toh, Jao, Daisy and Som; and the representation: ML/ML, FL/ML, FL/FL couples. Intentionally campy so be prepared for second-hand cringe. Great NC scenes. Good rep of safe sex and consent.

High school setting, bullying, social class differences. Not much "danger" in their romance. As much as their interactions seem natural, their kissing scenes were awkward.

Prequel: Kiss Me Again: Pete-Kao 

NC scenes were nicely done

What happens when the heads of rivals dorms fall for each other? How long can they keep it a secret from their friends? Great chemistry between the leads and episode 10's NC scene was hot.

Arranged marriage trope. The leads have amazing chemistry. The second couple have a weird relationship that's not properly explained, but we get their back story in the spin-off Naughty Babe. 

Mystery, Romance, Drama, Supernatural. Emotional.

So, Jung Ki Sub generally goes with the flow and says yes to anyone who asks him out, asks for his number. But, it seems like for the first time, there's something he himself wants - he want to go out with Jin Woo, but he wants Jin Woo to ask him out because he knows Jin Woo likes him. But Jin Woo is so resistant to this whole idea because he thinks of Ki Sub as a player. Oh, what a chaotic mess.

This was a spin-off of Until We Meet Again and is Win and Team's story. There's undeniable attraction between them but they are in this uncertain stage in their relationship for a long time because of how it all started.
TW: Childhood trauma

Opposites attract in a university setting.

Twins White and Black have a psychic connection. When Black ends up in the hospital, White takes his place to find out who hurt him. Action, Thriller, Mystery

This is an incredible BL, full of details and "clues" about the MLs' growing closeness, from the posters and artwork on the walls and the color schemes of clothing, lighting, etc. You can search for the Reddit on-air discussions for additional details, which was esp. useful for me on culture/language insights. SWM was adapted from book 1 of the novel "Are You Addicted?" by Chai Ji Dan, who was the screenwriter for this drama. Sadly, we're not getting the promised Season 2.

MLs live in the same home but rarely hang out. High school to college romance.

A hidden gem. I loved this show,

This could have been better. It had an interesting premise, but went downhill once we found out what happened to Blue.

TW: High school trauma.

The MLs were stepbrothers for a very brief time. As adults, they are still hounded by their past which continue to encroach into their present. 

Gangs, hidden identity, good NC scenes
TW: violence

TW: One ML has prior trauma from his idol trainee days

I've heard that this adaptation follows the manga very closely, and I respect that. Personally, a show of a little initiative from Taichi towards Kohei would have cemented this as a 10/10 rating for me. Still, I really enjoyed the series.

Nothing new with the plot, but I'm a fan of the leads who always have great chemistry.

A dramatic show with a child custody battle. Engaging and heartwarming. A hidden gem.

A summer romance that's incredibly sweet. Prequel to the movie His.

I fall for Mafia stories. I thoroughly enjoyed my binge-watch. We deserve a Season 2

Probably one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Great production and the leads' chemistry, from lingering touches and looks, are on point. You'll want to watch it just for the olive oil.

Looking forward to Season 2.

High school gang leader falls for his tutor. Great redemption arc.

Currently watching

A long-term couple have a fight leading to a break-up, causing one of them to run out. That night, he gets into an accident and, upon waking, has amnesia, but only forgetting his partner. His partner takes him back to their home and only tells him they were roommates.

I don't know why I assumed this was just another fluffy BL. It turned to be more than that.
TW: Internalized homophobia

Workplace setting; HR nightmare, but funny and they're cute together.

A one-night stand between best friends leads to conflict between them.

You don't need to watch Bad Romance The Series to watch this sequel.
TW: infidelity

Set in 1930s and 1940s, Romance, Fantasy, Drama (I would say melodramatic, esp. for Song’s first and second wives). Thian has been groomed to take over the family business, but he has a secret that is costing lives. I love the relationship between brothers Yang and Thian.

Childhood best friends navigate their new feelings for each other.

aka I Only Want to Keep Looking at You. A sweet, youth romance.

Mafia setting. Steamy NC scenes.
TW: violence, Stockholm syndrome
