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.

    103. Love in the Air

    Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes

    8.5

    A new favourite, really like this series. Great couples chemistry. Initial couple would have received a 9 review. Only fault, the trauma faced by Sky‘s character was dealt with too lightly, thus overall not deserving of a 9 review.

  • Love in the Air: Special Episode

    104. Love in the Air: Special Episode

    Nice to see these couples again

  • Love Syndrome: The Beginning

    108. Love Syndrome: The Beginning

    Thai Movie - 2024

    8.0

    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.

  • Love Syndrome III: Uncut Version

    109. Love Syndrome III: Uncut Version

    Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.0

    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.

  • No Regret

    131. No Regret

    Korean Movie - 2006

    Adult gay film. Prostitution. Made me uncomfortable, but that was probably the point. No rating because it’s so different. Would I recommend, probably not … on the flip side, it’s probably more realistic … sad to say.

    Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    9.0

    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.

    I would have preferred having some of the fighting scenes better edited down.

  • To My Star

    173. To My Star

    Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes

    8.0

    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.

  • Together with Me

    175. Together with Me

    Thai Drama - 2017, 13 episodes

    8.5

    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.
