BL Masterlist Ranked (All countries)

This is my complete master list ranking of the better BLs and movies (where it's a main them) that I've watched from the following countries: Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Philippines and Mainland China. I've now removed any series that I haven't rated higher than a 7/10. I previously had listed all series I'd watched but there were too many to maintain this list order lol. Please see my individual country ranking lists for more in-depth rankings for series I'd rate at 7/10 or below.

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)

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.
6. Laws of Attraction

Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

7. The Paradise of Thorns

Thai Movie - 2024

9.0
8. The Novelist

Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes

8.0

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.

14. Color Rush

Really interesting concept- very unique BL. Absolutely loved!
15. Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area

Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

7.5

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.
16. Blueming

Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes

10
17. Gelboys

Thai Drama - 2025, 7 episodes

8.5
18. Moonlight Chicken

Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

8.5
19. Gay OK Bangkok

Thai Drama - 2016, 5 episodes

8.5

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".
20. To My Star

Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes

9.5
21. HIStory3: Trapped

Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes

23. A Tale of Thousand Stars

Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

Heartfelt, wholesome story with a setting outside the BL college campus/highschool.
24. Light on Me

Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

7.5
25. Diary of Tootsies

Thai Drama - 2016, 12 episodes

8.0

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.
26. Dead Friend Forever - DFF

Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
