✨ Taiwanese & Chinese BL List ✨ 台湾/中国

I’ve combined Taiwanese and Chinese BL dramas into one list because, due to China’s strict censorship rules, many Chinese BL series are subtle, carefully coded, "male friendship" bromance, or leave a lot to the imagination—and most are aired overseas rather than in China itself. Pairing them with Taiwanese BL, which often embraces more open and tender storytelling, gives a fuller picture of East Asian queer romance on screen.

I’ll also flag any BL series that received the “bromance” treatment due to censorship, so you don’t waste your time—unless, of course, you’re interested in the story itself. Not all bromances are bad, but it’s good to know what you’re getting into!

My Rating System:

1️⃣ Horrendous – Completely unwatchable. So offensively bad it was almost painful.
2️⃣ Terrible – Virtually no positive aspects.
3️⃣ Poor – A few minor positives, but overall overshadowed by flaws.
4️⃣ Average – Some enjoyable elements, but generally unremarkable.
5️⃣ Fair – A balance of good and bad that cancels itself out.
6️⃣ Good – More strengths than weaknesses. Worth a watch.
7️⃣ Very Good – Strong recommendation. I’d likely revisit it.
8️⃣ Great – Highly enjoyable, memorable, and rewatch-worthy.
9️⃣ Excellent – Exceptional quality, often discussed and celebrated.
🔟 Outstanding – One of my all-time favorites. Authentic, unique, and endlessly rewatchable.

These ratings reflect my personal experience—what’s a 4 for me might be a 10 for you, and that’s the beauty of storytelling. Anything 5 or below didn’t leave much of a mark, while anything 6 or higher is a show I truly enjoyed, rewatched, or felt deeply moved by. At the end of the day, opinions are just opinions—I hope you dive in, find your own favorites, and enjoy the journey. ❤️
