These are my "go-to" BLs when there is nothing else I care to watch. I rewatch nearly every week.

This post was a good nudge for me.

I vaguely remember that I really liked "To My Star" (first part) but now I can't really remember the story, so I'm watching it again right now - thanks to you.

I vaguely remember that I didn't like the much longer "To My Star 2" so much, despite its much greater depth, because it dragged and because the starting premise bothered me. But given how everyone loves it so much, I'm going to give it another go (as soon as I finish re-watching the first part) - again thanks to you. If my opinion changes for the better after a re-watch, it wouldn't be the first time.

As to the last three, no need for me to re-watch. I've already watched them enough times to know them by heart!

Ok. I need some opinions. Should I watch 2 moons 2 ? Like, is it worth my time? I like Joong, I like Pavel, and I like Nine. But idk...

Well my young pupil (in a mystical voice) 2 moons 2 based on what I remember, the first few episodes are fast paced so as to establish the original story then after this the pace is normal as they now add on to the original story. The main couple is in an established relationship at this point so now we get to see their story being explored as a couple. The side couple with Pavel, I really enjoyed their interactions although I am a little bit iffy about how they started off (won't go into details so as to not spoil it). The side couple with  Joong  was really lovely and their story was cute to watch and entertaining. All in all it was a good build up on the original story I gave it an 8.5 at the time but that is not reliable because those were my feelings then and I have matured as a viewer and become a lot more critical  since then.  However I still would recommend it because the scenes I do remember I found them memorable and heartwarming, so it is a good watch and you might just enjoy it. Hope this helps.

One more pls! 😂 Do I need to watch Two Moons, because I've seen people say "yes" and people say "no"

This show is one of those which is a Marmite show - you either like it or you don’t. For me, I quite liked it.

For the couples, I pretty much agree with what Rique has said about the pace and couples. My favourite of the three was Ming and Kit (played by Joong and Nine) as it was a sweet story. My least favourite was Forth and Beam (played by Pavel and Dome) mainly how they started their relationship. From what I remember since I watched this some time ago, the story of the first couple was more fast paced as their feelings for each other were already stablished and so they got together quite quickly. Overall, I gave it a 7.5 and I’d watched it just for Ming and Kit.

According to a post on Twitter (X) this is the roman empire in other words the A-list. Do you guys agree or disagree?

idk not feeling it :) most of these feel like the op has a type (dark and grungy ) , only two of these are in my top dramas and I’ve dropped 4 of these 😬 to be fair I haven’t watched a couple of these, but the only ones I really want to watch out of those is Manner of Death and Triage, but I’m saving them for when I’m in the right mood

I meant one more question 😂💗 because I know 2 Moons 2 is a sequal and I don’t want to watch 2 Moons. But thank you! I think I will give it a go without watching the first one. Hopefully, I’m not too lost.

Oh! The first one was short and sweet. I gave it a ten at the time. It was really just a enjoyably watch. I would suggest you watch it first so that you will have a good foundation of the story so that the fast pacing at the beginning of the 2moons 2  does not  frustrate you.  And by watching the first one you have an enjoyable story to reflect on at times when 2moons 2 may seem off, because for me going into 2moons 2 the main motivation was to see the continuation of the relationships I had grown fond of. It was after watching 2moons 2 that I grew fond of it  as its own story; so I recommend watch the original first.

I agree I am not feeling this list albeit I have some tens in it; this does not do it for me.

It feels like a list like this would be subjective to an individual's taste and watch History. 

No 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii ?  Last Twilight should definitely be added to this list. He's Coming to Me was good, but the ending needed some fine-tuning. It didn't make any sense why they would write it that way. This will be an unpopular opinion, but I did not like Manner of Death, so I dropped it after several episodes. I'm unsure if it's because of my age, but I was very uncomfortable watching I Told Sunset about You. I gave it a rating of 4 stars (don't come for me ) LOL. Also, I'm shocked that they didn't add Kinn Porsche the way it was hyped up online. >.> I know Love for Love's Sake just came out, but it would also need to be added to this list based solely on the unique style of writing

Not an "A List" to me, but "Not Me" would def be on mine! 

I've been in the middle of relocating to another city, spending my time unpacking and so on. I'm behind on my BL drama watching cuz I can't sit still and focus, but I did manage to watch Ep. 7 of Cherry Magic. So many cute moments! It did calm me down.

Definitely because how the hell no Taiwanese BLs are not on there.

Hope your finding it easy to adjust and I hope the move brings amazing things for you. I am definitely enjoying Cherry Magic; I absolutely love it. I have never watched the Japanese version so this is my first experience with the story. The last episode though, the client lady pissed me off and made me get out of character in a comment section and I was so glad my sentiments were shared in the comments (best place to vent honestly). I am dreading its end; I don't want it to end 😭

 RiqueXinw:
I recommend watch the original first. 

Okayyy haha I'll give it a try then.
