BL Dramas & Movies
BL draws my intention because it tends to show a romantic intimacy lacking in many main stream shows. Like in any genre, finding a drama or romantic comedy with an interesting storyline, that is well told and thoughtfully cast can be a bit, ‘hit and miss’.
Being from Australia, I wasn’t exposed to all the promotional hoopla that surrounds the BL world in Asian countries. And having English as my only language means my ability to enjoy these shows is affected by the quality of the subtitles. I needed to search and read through numerous posts and websites to find the stories of interest to me and the avenues available to me, to watch them. So I’ve developed this list in hope it might guide others to find what they prefer.
Please note only stories I have watched will be on this list. I will also endeavour to write comments about my reasons for my rating; however I won’t rewrite the synosis.

101. Love in the Air: Special Episode
Thai Special - 2022, 1 episode
Nice to see these couples again
-
102. Love in the Big City
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
-
103. Love Mechanics

104. Love Sea

This one made me feel a little uncomfortable.
-
105. Love Syndrome: The Beginning
Thai Movie - 2024
There are complex issues in this one, and I would have been so confused if I hadn’t read the books/seen Love Syndrome 3. An extra 20 mins to show the development of the main couples stories would have gone a long way to understanding why the characters were behaving as they were.
-
106. Love Syndrome III: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
This wasn’t nearly as bad as painted. In my opinion the script, direction and editing all needed work. Particularly in regard to revealing the background story, as this is billed as a third instalment of a series that does not have instalments one and two produced … and thus needs to be viewed as a stand alone drama. Insights into the background story were vague and I needed to read the synopsis of the novels to understand what had happened to date. Once revealed, as the actors say, horrible things occurred, yet how they moved from initial hatred to soulmate love is left unexplained. Despite this, I do think this drama is worth a watch. Majority of the acting is good although the sex scenes look too contrived.

Japanese Movie - 2021
Final in the series. Doesn’t leave me with a feeling of certainty about the couple’s future … but that’s a reflection of reality. 4 of 4

Not too bad, cute couple.
-
150. Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart

Much better options in my opinion; however it is the second part of the series.
-
151. Star & Sky Special Ep
Thai Special - 2022, 1 episode
Good way to end the series, better than part 2.
-
152. Our Skyy 2: Star in My Mind
Thai Drama - 2023, 2 episodes
Very lovey dovey and sweet.
-
153. Sunset x Vibes: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
This is the bravest and most natural BL couple when it comes to sex scenes. And they don’t shy away from enhancing the story by including these scenes. The plot wasn’t bad and the usual additional couples including one very amusing comedic couple rounded out the drama.
-
154. My Personal Weatherman
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Can’t help but fall for these characters. Well told, one I really enjoyed.
-
155. Takara-kun & Amagi-kun

Lovely relationship beginning brief drama. Would like to see a second season.
-
156. TharnType
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
My favourite BL series. Tharn is type of character its so easy to fall for as a viewer. Throughout the series it addresses many of the issues dealt with by the gay community.
-
157. TharnType Season 2: 7 Years of Love
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
-
158. TharnType Season 2 Special: The Wedding Day
Thai Special - 2021, 1 episode
-
159. The On1y One
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Enjoyed up until ending … too ambiguous and confusing; especially as the guys live in the same dorm room.
-
160. The Rebound
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Storyline strong.
-
161. The Sign
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Mixed feelings about this one. Script was bad. Direction not good. Wouldn’t recommend, but I did watch it til the end.
-
162. The Tasty Florida (Movie)
Korean Movie - 2021
Gentle movie, full of long glances.
-

Friendship drama
-
164. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
I’ve fallen in love with this story. Love the development of this couple of pure souls, who were cast perfectly. I needed to rewatch after knowing more about Lan Zan character.
I would have preferred having some of the fighting scenes better edited down.
-
165. To Be Continued
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Enjoyed
-
166. To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
-
167. Together with Me
Thai Drama - 2017, 13 episodes
Very under-rated series. Has heterosexual relationships as well amongst the main cast, giving a more realistic reflection of society. Not a fan of the Bright & Farm relationship, although relationships come in many forms not always healthy. Must admit, Max is a favourite of mine.
-
168. To My Star
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
A series that is a little different. One character is open and communicative and the other is closed off and suppresses his emotions to the point it’s difficult to accept this behaviour; although my opinion here is probably affected by my lack of understanding the culture/lifestyle in Korea.
-
169. Together with Me: The Next Chapter
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
-
170. Unforgotten Night
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Nearly stopped watching after the first episode, it got better. Infatuated lead, who’s honest with and pursuant of his love.
-
171. Unintentional Love Story
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Really enjoyed this adult story line … like most Korean BLs it’s vanilla, but lacks nothing because of this.
-
172. Unknown
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
A must watch for any BL fan.
-
173. Until We Meet Again
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes

Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Comedy drama. Brother was my favourite character. Can’t get access to special episode.
-
180. Vice Versa

This drama is a set apart by its unique storyline; which has numerous subplots, both light and philosophical.
-
181. Our Skyy 2: Vice Versa
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
An unexpected sequel, which gives us a clear understanding of this couples next life steps.
-
182. Wandee Goodday
