My BL shows

Just a different version of the first 3 episodes

Currently watching

TW: infidelity

If you enjoy NC scenes, this one's for you.
TW: Second couple ML has SA trauma.

An unusual show where the ML wakes up within a game and must complete certain missions in a given timeframe. Incredibly well-acted and well-produced.

High school setting, love triangle.

Angsty push and pull, love triangle
TW: infidelity, DubCon

High school and college story of awkward Hira and popular Kiyoi. In my top 5.
aka  My Beautiful Man 1. 

Shin as the assertive one and Akira as the more reserved of the two - I found this dynamic funny, interesting and understandable. 

aka My Love Mix-Up! 

Complicated adult relationships, budding first love (second couple), superb acting.

This series is in my top 5. Guaranteed to be re-watched. Sequel to Utsukushii Kare (Seasons 1 and 2)

What happens when a mafia don's right-hand man wants to leave?
TW: violence

Currently watching

Childhood best friends to lovers trope that's incredibly well done

Interesting BL where the leads seem to need an interpreter. Their failure to communicate is astounding but you just keep rooting for them. NC scenes were hot.

School president and music club leader need to cooperate in order to prevent music club closure. Fluffy with superb OST that you’ll want to download.

Spin-off from Cutie Pie 

TW: violence

A classic. Although this was a Censored Adaptation Of Same-sex Original Work, they had done a fabulous job letting us know how much the MLs cared for and loved each other. I loved the drunk Lan Zhan scene where he gives chickens to Wei Ying, a common Chinese betrothal ritual. Exceptional chemistry between the leads.

So, so cute!!

Currently on-hold

On my re-watch list.

High school romance where one is super rich and the other is a classmate hired as his bodyguard.

Currently on-hold

Angst galore from week to week. Lots of NC scenes.

High school best friends meet again in a work place setting. Really cute flashbacks and I loved their chemistry.

Don't stop at episode 36. Watch the short epilogue/episode 37, Word of Honor - Epilogue. 

MUST watch to complete WoH series

Watch the Special Edition instead since it has additional scenes.

Forced proximity trope brings a perfect ending.

Phuwin was so young in this one. I love the "magic" of the Kitty Gang in their makeover transformation of Pi.

I looked forward to every episode (watched while on-air). My biggest complaint is that the last episode felt a bit rushed and Pete/Kenta or Pete/Way was underdeveloped.

Just saw the trailer for Pit Babe Season 2. 

Interesting premise. I wish it were longer to develop each of the 3 couples' relationships more. Supposedly, there might be a sequel, Because of You Season 2. 

Special episodes after Love Sick Seasons 1 and 2.

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.

A student-teacher romance with an age gap of about 5-6 years. I thought Sahara was smart to step back until Toki graduated before pursuing the romantic side of their relationship.

TW: Childhood trauma from their time together, separation and a reunion. Love and healing that the two of them could find only in each other.

Sweet, youth romance, where we have two main couples. They find a sense of belonging in one another. One ML is in a band and the OST is fantastic.

Fluffy and so very cute

So, so cute about two college roommates: a spirit medium and his human talisman.

Thoroughly enjoyable, loved their chemistry.

I'm one of the few that loved this show. Best friends to more?

Cuteness overload. I couldn't stop smiling.

Office setting; a bit of an HR nightmare.

Sequel to 2gether 

Currently watching

Takara is the cool, popular guy and Amagi is the cute, quiet kid who somehow catches Takara's eye. This is one of the cutest dramas, and I loved Katori 's role as their "relationship interpreter."

Angsty 

TW: Childhood trauma, DubCon

This was interesting to me from the start. And I really liked how it ended.

TW: incurable illness

I wish we had more episodes to clarify their past.

One of the best BLs of 2023. The leads had great chemistry. There were no many wonderful details that you may only notice on a rewatch, like color schemes and patterns. The camera work may seen up close and even shaky at times, but they really wanted to bring us into the show. At times, I felt like I was intruding into the character's personal space.

TW: Trauma, depression

Currently on-hold

This could have been another HR nightmare but it was so well done.

Lots of action scenes and mystery. Very intriguing, esp. the fantasy elements. I almost rated this a 10/10 but the last episode felt a bit rushed.

Childhood friends to lovers, the slowest of slow burns. Neighborhood setting.

Best friends reuniting after 10 years.

An ER doctor experiences a time loop when he fails to save one specific patient. Thriller, Romance, Fantasy.

Short episode between ITSAY and IPYTM.

Rural Thailand setting where siblings Win and Lin swap bodies after a car accident. A monk tells Win that he needs to collect holy water from 4 temples in order to switch bodies back with his sister who remains unconscious. And he needs to be accompanied by his former childhood friend Korn, with whom he had a falling out over an inheritance.

Slow burn romance set in a tiny mountain village. Undeniable chemistry between the leads.

TW: BDSM

Excellent chemistry between the leads, found family, forbidden love. Steamy NC scene.

Currently on-hold

Hira attends college and Kiyoi becomes a popular actor. In my top 5.
aka My Beautiful Man 2. 

Ends up being a very slow burn; they don't get together until very late in the series, but the NC scenes are something else.

Cut short due to censorship

Childhood friends meet again in college.
