I've hurt my back and I can't sit down for a long timeZhouYanRan:
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear about your back. Boy, do I know the feeling! I sure hope you're on the mend soon. 🫶🏼 Happy new year anyways, lol.

This was a good watch!
I am doing this thing where I already chose what to watch for the whole year.Da Bao:
The WHOLE year?!? That's amazing. I planned out and added some titles to a couple of my watch challenges but I keep changing the titles. Now I'm sorry I bothered, lol. I'm more of a day by day planner.
Welcome @Fujoshi101! To both MDL & the BL club. 😊
Sorry, I quoted the entire post somehow. I'm on mobile, it's 3 am and I can't sleep.Indie Art Girl:

Welcome @Fujoshi101! To both MDL & the BL club. 😊
Yeah so the thing is, I have made some custom lists that act like ptw lists. My watchlist ptw is empty. So I take a few titles from the custom lists and add them to my currently watching. Through rng bc it's more fun that way. 😊
But like, this only works if I'm not tempted to add more titles to them. So far, so good. I have more than 200 titles in these lists though, so it's like having a fragmented ptw list.
I also have a list with titles I watched this year. I add items to it in chronological order as I watch them.
On top of this, I have my offline Excel spreadsheet that mirrors my watchlist.
That's about it. Today I tried to make some statistics about what I watched per country all these years. I estimated that I will have made all MDL countries equal in my watchlist by 2029. At the start of 2029 I am allowed to watch Thai and Japanese titles again and also pick up equal numbers of the other countries. In 2027 and 2028 I won't watch any Thai or Japanese titles and I'll actually make Thailand be first place in my watchlist this year, if everything works to a T.
Realized at some point that my watchlist will also take like 250-300 entries per year. In the year I have to watch 302 titles, I decided to make it a movie only year. It should be fun, a movie almost everyday. :)
it's 3 am and I can't sleep.
My nights are like that often, sad to say.

You've got my brain in a twist. 😆😂😮
I hope your plan works out!
Alex:
Ohm is going to be in OffGun's upcoming series Gunshot but Ohm's character is going to be a antagonist. I honestly think that will be the only way for him to want to be in a BL again.
I'm aware of this & agree , chances are this is going to be the closest we get in regards to ohm & bl so I definitely plan on checking it out. the series looks promising as a whole even if he's not a main , actually I heven't see him play a villain yet so I'm pretty interested to see this side of him. for some reason I feel like he would play a good villain aha.

I haven't really seen anything with Ohm. I mean, I am currently watching Make it Right and Ohm stars in it but I am only 2 episodes in.

You should definitely watch "Bad Buddy", which is one of the all-time best BLs. There's a reason why BL fandom is still so fixated on Ohm/Nanon, even though they only did this one BL together. (That being said, the way that fandom treats them and other actors is appalling. I fully support the right of actors to move on and to self-determine their own lives and careers.)
I love "Make It Right", which is a diamond in the rough with a lot of familiar faces in their early days, but since there was never an international release, it's a bit cumbersome watching it starting with ep. 5. World of BL provides a work-around, but one has to follow the instructions exactly.

Thanks. I'll check out Bad Buddy after I fiinish Make it Right.

- Japanese BL -> ex aequo - fluffy -> School Trip / dark -> The Journey to Killing You
- Chinese BL -> Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island
- *Taiwanese BL -> Secret Lover
- Thai BL -> Reset😍
- *Filipino BL -> Haunted Hearts
- *Singaporean BL -> The Sparkle in Your Eye
- *Vietnamese BL -> Fight for Love
- BL of the year -> Reset👑
- fluffy film -> Can I Buy Your Love from a Vending Machine

- least favourite -> Sweet Tooth Good Dentist
(* - not many to choose from)
High overlap with my own favourites. (I see that you watched "Khemjira", my own personal fave of 2025, but you didn't give it a rating.)
I loved "Fight For Love", not least because of all the Viet-cuties. I've already watched it twice!
I hadn't until now paid attention to "Can I Buy Your Love from a Vending Machine", but thanks to your recommendation, I found a good fansubber and am downloading it now. I love feel-good fluff.
Head 2 Head
I don't know what to tell you, since I'm not sure how I feel about this. I really enjoyed it in the beginning, but I've started to lose interest later on. First of all, I love JJ.
I'm enjoying it, but (as quite often the case with GMMTV) because of the cast, not the script. Surf & Java are really good, and I look forward to seeing more of them. Sea & Keen had already won me over back with "Only Boo", and JJ (like his twin AJ as well as Poppy at Domundi) is indeed perfect at these comedic support roles.
My forlorn hopes for 2026
- TutorYim play main roles in a well-written drama
- BenzGarfield play main roles in a well-written drama
An emphatic "yes" to good, solid scripts for both of these great pairings!
I adore Tutor & Yim, so my fingers are crossed that "Cherm Chey" (just finished filming, will presumably release very soon) doesn't turn out to be another disappointment.
iota:
of course! i'd love to hear your thoughts if you watch any of them!
I kept a record of everything each of you recommended so I can quote the person when I watch their recommendation. I'm pretty sure I will watch everything through the year.
First I thought I haven't watched many bl movies, but then I realized I've watched a bunch of bl short films for my 365 challenge (it's a fun challenge btw! might be scary looking at first). I rated some of these pretty low, but I will still recommend them if you or anyone else is interested to watch themBenizakura:
Thank you for all your recommendations. I'm glad to have many short films recommendations for when my attention span is low.
I'm obsessed with Me and Thee I would love to hear your opinion about it.
