My BL shows

So, so cute about two college roommates: a spirit medium and his human talisman.

Cuteness overload. I couldn't stop smiling.

This is an incredible BL, full of details and "clues" about the MLs' growing closeness, from the posters and artwork on the walls and the color schemes of clothing, lighting, etc. You can search for the Reddit on-air discussions for additional details, which was esp. useful for me on culture/language insights. SWM was adapted from book 1 of the novel "Are You Addicted?" by Chai Ji Dan, who was the screenwriter for this drama. I'm disappointed that Season 2 was cancelled.

Office setting; a bit of an HR nightmare.

Sequel to 2gether 

Currently on-hold; unable to find subtitles

Taekwondo setting. TW: Bullying

Although I enjoyed the start of the series. I found the introduction of the mystical part distracting and something that didn't add to my enjoyment of the show. I love fantasy and mythology so I was a bit surprised that it didn't intrigue me more in this drama. The Sam-Yo pairing became more interesting after a while. I think Sam was my favorite character.

Takara is the cool, popular guy and Amagi is the cute, quiet kid who somehow catches Takara's eye. This is one of the cutest dramas, and I loved Katori 's role as their "relationship interpreter."

I love these two characters who are so different yet fit together so well.

This did not disappoint. It was a satisfying HEA, and the mains leads were just so good together. The supporting cast was amazing, esp. LYKN. High production value and great acting (esp. for acting rookies LYKN). 

TW: Childhood trauma, DubCon

We deserve a Season 2.

Fated mates in every parallel universe.

TW: incurable illness

I wish we had more episodes to clarify their past.

One of the best BLs of 2023. The leads had great chemistry. There were no many wonderful details that you may only notice on a rewatch, like color schemes and patterns. The camera work may seen up close and even shaky at times, but they really wanted to bring us into the show. At times, I felt like I was intruding into the character's personal space.

TW: Trauma, depression

College relationship ended badly, and the two MLs unexpectedly meet at their college library just days before a world-ending meteor will hit the earth. NC scenes are hot!

A different show from what we typically get from GMMTV, bolder in their NC scenes and quite violent in the theme (two of the leads are hitmen). It's my favorite show with Joong Archen and Dunk Natachai, plus we get the pairing of First Kanaphan and Khaotung Thanawat. This was very entertaining and Dunk as Style just slayed.

This could have been another HR nightmare but it was so well done.

This fascinated me from episode 1, and thankfully 2 episodes were released each week. They picked the right actors to play Jiang Tian and Sheng Wang. Incredible chemistry and wonderful acting. The cinematography was also well executed; great use of light, rainbows, weather. I can't praise this show enough. Unfortunately, Season 2 has been confirmed as cancelled.

Currently watching

Fun sports BL with MeenPing. A few plot holes here and there, but still an enjoyable watch.
TW: Some violence

Lots of action scenes and mystery. Very intriguing, esp. the fantasy elements. I almost rated this a 10/10 but the last episode felt a bit rushed.

A classic. Although this was a Censored Adaptation Of Same-sex Original Work, they had done a fabulous job letting us know how much the MLs cared for and loved each other. I loved the scene where drunk Lan Zhan gives chickens to Wei Ying, a common Chinese betrothal ritual. Exceptional chemistry between the leads.

Angsty 

Childhood friends to lovers, the slowest of slow burns. Neighborhood setting.

Best friends reuniting after 10 years. Ep 7 was the key episode.

Set in 1930s and 1940s, Romance, Fantasy, Drama (I would say melodramatic, esp. for Song’s first and second wives). Thian has been groomed to take over the family business, but he has a secret that is costing lives. I love the relationship between brothers Yang and Thian.

A one-night stand between best friends leads to conflict between them.

You don't need to watch Bad Romance The Series to watch this sequel.
TW: infidelity

TW: Childhood trauma from their time together, separation and a reunion. Love and healing that the two of them could find only in each other.

Rivals to secret lovers in an industry where back stabbing and undermining your rivals are the norm. Is their love strong enough, or is this just a Nong's admiration for a Phi who helped him out when he was a newbie? One guarantee: you will look at honey in a different light after this.

An ER doctor experiences a time loop when he fails to save one specific patient. Thriller, Romance, Fantasy.

Side story of 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii.

TW: BDSM

A fired employee approaches the Chairman's favorite artist in order to curry favor and potentially get rehired. The employee watches the reclusive artist from afar, thinking about the best way to approach him. As they interact more, he ends up falling for him.

Excellent chemistry between the leads, found family, forbidden love. Steamy NC scene.

TW: Suicide

Side story to Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 

Ends up being a very slow burn; they don't get together until very late in the series, but the NC scenes are something else.

Leads had awesome chemistry.

After a one-night stand, a doctor and a Muay Thai boxer continues their entanglement, becoming friends with benefits then fæn with benefits.

Fluffy show in a college setting. I found myself smiling pretty much the whole time. Multiple couples.

Watch the Special Edition instead since it has additional scenes.

Truly one of my favorite shows. Rivals to lovers  and their chemistry is fire! 

The wedding planner was hired but the groom keeps hitting on him, and the bride doesn't mind at all. What's going on?

(aka When It Rains, It Pours)  Complicated adult relationships with one that began as a result of a traumatic event and misunderstanding that was never resolved. And another that changed over time. The issue in both relationships is the lack of communication, but even if both couples communicated well, there were deeper issues. This drama was really interesting and could have been expanded to several more episodes.

High school romance where one is super rich and the other is a classmate hired as his bodyguard.

On my re-watch list.

My ghost ship: ZeeSaint.

This Thai adaptation mainly focuses on the two couples and does an admirable job.

Don't stop at episode 36. Watch the short epilogue/episode 37, Word of Honor - Epilogue. 

MUST watch to complete WoH series

Short film, Wuxia, labeled as bromance, my take is BL.

Another HR nightmare. New to relationships, leads fall into the trap of miscommunications as they attempt to guess how the other feels about them.

Childhood friends meet again in college.

A fun, fluffy show where fake dating becomes real. Too cute.
