BL Masterlist Ranked (All countries)
This is my complete master list ranking the better BLs and movies (where it's a main theme) that I've watched from the following countries: Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Philippines and Mainland China.
Note I'm only including BLs that I rate a 8 or higher! I've now removed any series that I haven't rated higher than a 8/10. I previously had listed all series I'd watched but there were too many to maintain this list order lol.
This is my personal ranking of each drama depending on how much I generally enjoyed each from best to worst. My ratings may differ a bit from my overall numbered ranking as there are often obvious flaws with a show where I still overall enjoyed the show a lot. (Plus some are just guilty pleasures that may not necessarily be a "good" show lol).
Note that some shows included like Friendzone and the Shipper aren't fully BL shows- but I'm rating the BL component here. (I will mark these in the comments/notes for each)

5. Manner of Death
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
Chemistry between Max and Tul is hot af as usual. The main crime plot line is a little boring and unrealistic at times- but I'm rating for the BL component here.

Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
-
![Laws of Attraction]()

8. Old Fashion Cupcake
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
-
![The Novelist]()
9. The Novelist
Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
A very mature and convoluted story. I think the reason this is so good is mostly due to the nuance and skill in Takezai Terunosuke's acting. I found this one interesting and seductive where I expected to hate it after reading the synopsis.

Overall heartfelt and pure, wholesome romance.
-
![Color Rush]()
15. Color Rush
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Really interesting concept- very unique BL. Absolutely loved!
-
![Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area]()
16. Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area
Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
I'm rating the BL component of the show here but note it's an ensemble cast show with multiple straight couples. This show has the spicy OTT drama I live for- much more fun than the first season. The episode opening and ending tracks are great and go perfectly with the vibes of the show.

![Moonlight Chicken]()
21. Moonlight Chicken

-
![Gay OK Bangkok]()
22. Gay OK Bangkok
Thai Drama - 2016, 5 episodes
Think like the Thai version of Queer as Folk or Sex and the City (but with Gay men). A more realistic, adult take that I would more class as mature LGBT+ storytelling rather than "BL".
-

23. To My Star
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
-
![Ghost Host, Ghost House]()
24. Ghost Host, Ghost House
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

-
![A Tale of Thousand Stars]()
26. A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
Heartfelt, wholesome story with a setting outside the BL college campus/highschool.
-
![The Eighth Sense]()
27. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
-
![Diary of Tootsies]()
28. Diary of Tootsies
Thai Drama - 2016, 12 episodes
More of a comedy with LGBT+ chars than a true BL drama. Hilarious but note there's only one real "BL" couple you will swoon over here. Enjoyable and funny overall.
