My go-to BL recommendations

My all-time favourite BL, that changed my perspective on love and what kind of partner I should seek. We would all be blessed to find a Kurosawa in our lives. The story is so pure. Must recommend for the romance-lovers out there.

This was a masterpiece. You will sob happy tears and, sometimes, sad ones. But don't think this is a tragic series like the name suggests, it is actually bright most of the time. I really wish we get a season 2.
Recommended for those who like heartwarming respectful devotional love, high budget period dramas, time travel or reincarnation tropes, karma and beautiful cinematography. You will care deeply even for the side characters and their own stories.
I think it belongs at no. 1 along with Cherry Magic on this list. Dare I say, I liked its plot even more than Cherry Magic, but Cherry Magic healed me and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart. So both these shows are my no. 1 now.

Must recommend to friends who want to see an extremely fun BL that isn't dark or heavy. It is a classic enemies-to-lovers trope but done exceptionally well and has that "good Bollywood romcom" feel to it. It also has the added joy of a GL side couple.

It's an intricate story featuring scheming, revenge, jealousy, dominant guys pursuing hesitant guys, playing hard to get, bisexual awakening, filial piety and true love. Also, snakes.

Recommended for folks who like a series with dark, gritty themes and questionable characters who better themselves.

This left a deep scar in me.

It started out as a story about lookism but bloomed into so much more (sorry for the pun; I couldn't resist lol).

If someone likes shy nerd-bad boy romance, troubled teen/misunderstood delinquent character and redemption arcs, this is the series to watch.

Recommended for people who enjoy humble slice of life stories that feature the everyday lives, struggles, and aspirations of its characters. It has multiple couples with distinct dynamics and challenges and explores themes such as financial difficulties, past trauma, falling out of love, personal sacrifices, treatment of disabled people and found family.
