I have been watching Strongberry's Kiss Kiss Sxx series until now. I watched Craving You (EP 5) part 1 but it seems I can't watch part 2 unless I pay to join. I think it sucks they would do that mid-way. Why not for the first part of the story? 💀
It's a drop for me. I won't bother watching the last few titles left. 👎
BTW EP 6 "Not A BL" posts to YT Dec 2.
I’m still waiting maybe with time these will post for free.

Welcome! Here is my extensive list of favorites:
Thanks so much for the list! There's really a lot to choose from there, so I'll definitely spend some time looking for shows I may really enjoy.
It looks like you rated Khemjira pretty high. I've been seeing it all over SNS recently and I'm interested in watching it, but I'm hesitating with the Horror genre tag. I'm super jumpy, but do you think I'll be able to sleep at night??
You also rated My Love Mix-Up! pretty high, how do you think it compares to the Thai adaption? I love GeminiFourth, but I struggled through the first four episodes before dropping it.
Hi Wonnie! Welcome to the club, STAY!! LOL
I have a few lists you might be interested in.
Top BL Drama Picks - All 119 of my fav BLs
Waiting to Air List - The majority are BL titles waiting to be released, including the newest titles from GMMTV for 2026-2027.
I see you like historical C-dramas too. I have a fav list on my pfp, just click "View All" and all my lists come up, lol. Since you like music too you'll see a list for Drama Soundtracks.
Thank you! Hopefully I won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Thanks as well for the waiting to air list. I've been waiting for Can This Love Be Translated? for what feels like FOREVER, as well as Dare You To Death for more JoongDunk.

Hello everyone! I'm finally trying to become active on MDL, and to me that includes joining some clubs. So might as well join one for my newest genre exploration!
My first ever BL was My Personal Weatherman when it first aired in the second half of 2023. I think I bought a Viki subscription for the first time just to watch it, since I wasn't really watching Asian dramas yet.
Fast forward to the end of 2024, when I stumbled across a Pit Babe fanfic. I went to check out the drama and was HOOKED.
I've still only watched 13 BL's as of now, but there are many more to come. My current favorites includes Semantic Error, Pit Babe, and See Your Love.
I'm always looking for new recs to add to my extensive drama watchlist, so please feel free to recommend away!
Welcome to the Club 👋
I think you have already gotten some amazing recommendations from @dora and @Indie Art Girl, some of which are my favourites as well.

I meant a person that goes from the city to the countryside. MAybe the pwrson from the city is spoiled. Yes and the tsundere type I like too these characters with and without my named themes. And with rich and meets person that the rich person gets humbled or the person with normal money sees that not every rich person is the same.
Thanks for all the recommendations from all people. I almost watched all of them before but there were some new ones. Thanks 👍
I will think about this and get back to you
you could check out Love Tractor. It’s pretty fluffy but cute.
I would even venture to call it a BL masterpiece.p43425:
Absolutely, I have to agree with you. I've seen a total of 125 BLs, and only four have earned a perfect 10 out of 10. In my opinion, "Our Youth" truly deserving the title of a masterpiece. The writing was profound, the connection was palpable, and I genuinely appreciated the character development from beginning to end. Was it challenging to watch at times? Yes, but I believe it was ultimately rewarding.
As for the Kenshin scandal, I'm not familiar with it. I usually avoid looking up news about projects or actors, as I worry it might spoil my viewing experience. Additionally, I feel many scandals these days seem exaggerated; people will seize any opportunity to create a scandal that can tarnish reputations or even careers. I'm not implying that this is the case with the Kenshin scandal, just sharing my perspective on the nature of scandals in general.
Oh, and another 2025 drama that nearly reached masterpiece status for me was "When It Rains, It Pours", but I found Fujisawa's character difficult to tolerate. The way his actions were portrayed throughout the series and then resolved in the end didn't sit right with me, so I had to deduct half a point, bringing my rating down to 9.5. Nevertheless, it remains my second favorite BL of the year.
@wonni
i don’t like horror but I think Khemjira was worth it. The first episode has a bunch of jump scares and creepy stuff but there’s really only one other episode that is really creepy or gross. If you can stand a ghost with some scary but not gross makeup, and a couple scary episodes, you’ll be fine. I watched during the day though. And these two couples are sooooo wonderful.
if you don’t like horror don’t watch Goddess Bless You from Death
i think the Japanese My Love Mix-Up is much better than the Thai adaptation even though the Japanese one has no kiss. I also love GeminiFourth but it took me awhile to get through their version. I put it on hold halfway through and didn’t go back for awhile. The Japanese are better at this sort of humor, and make it more charming. I’ve watched the Japanese version several times. It’s also much shorter so I’d give it a try.
I'm doing okay with Goddess Bless You From Death so far, though I'm putting it on hold until it finishes airing. It's more the jumpscares that get me than the gore. If you think I'll be fine then I'll suck it up and watch it LMAO.
I'll try the Japanese My Love Mix-Up and see if I like it better. If I like it, maybe I'll give the adaptation a second chance.
there are so many good BLs about this but here are a few of my favorites:
I Cannot Reach You
Takara-kun & Amagi-kun
About Youth
Cherry Blossoms After Winter
I Told Sunset About You (many consider this a BL masterpiece)
My Love Mix-Up (Japanese version)
Secrets Happen on the Litchi Island (another masterpiece
I love all seven of these!
I would add:
Moonlight Chicken
Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo
Love for Love’s Sake
Love Is Better the Second Time Around
Last Twilight
As with "See Your Love" and "I Hear The Sunspot" (both also excellent), "Moonlight Chicken" is not only a fantastic BL but also a poignant treatment of deafness, a subject that especially resonates with me as my own hearing gets worse.
"Love for Love's Sake" is one of my fave KBLs.
Although I was less keen on "Second Time Around" than many others, it was very good.
I've not yet seen the other two ("Twilight" and "Taekwondo") but they're both definitely on my priority PTW list.
It looks like you rated Khemjira pretty high
As horror, I didn't find it that scary - and it's generally excellent, in my personal opinion the best BL of 2025, even though I don't like horror.
Try it - there are already scary scenes in the first episode, so if you make it through that, you should be fine through the rest.
You also rated My Love Mix-Up! pretty high, how do you think it compares to the Thai adaption?
I agree with Dora (as I usually do): the Japanese original is definitely better.

Okay, good to know! I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I'm definitely excited to start watching. I have no idea when that will be, but hopefully soon!
