Wholesome BL series (not cringe) (on going)
Here are some wholesome BL series that make you feel warm inside, and the most important part is that they're not cringy. Or they are low on my cringy scale.

1. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
What can I say? This is the first Thai Bl series I've ever watched, and let me tell you they set me up for failure, because after watching this I expected all Thai Bls to be this good, and they're not lmfao. The chemistry, they're not afraid to touch each other, what I mean by that is that they're not all rigid, and stuff when there's skinship, and it comes out so naturally, like they don't look that they've been forced, which is the case in lots of BLs sadly. They're very funny and wholesome, 10/10

2. Last Twilight
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Mohk was really made to be a caretaker, and I just found out that Jimmy is an actual doctor, or so is what his profile says, and now it all makes sense. It came so naturally for him to be so caring, I felt warm and happy the whole show. 10/10 wholesomeness

3. Love for Love's Sake
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
I had this series on my plan-to-watch list for months and never gave it a shot because the poster is so lackluster, very basic, and bland. I thought it was going to be a very repetitive high-school series, but it wasn't. Very original plot, and as a gamer, I loved it. The acting was great; it wasn't cringey at all. I kind of got used to Thai BL cringiness, so I was pleasantly surprised by this. I wish i would've watched it sooner. Yeo-Woon's eyes are the cutest, i wanted to hug him every time he looked remotely sad. I will probably rewatch it, is very enjoyable and because is only 8 ep, 30 min each, you can finish it in one seating. 9/10

4. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Ok, so I added this one because of Liming and Heart's scenes. The show itself is not wholesome, and it's pretty boring, and has certain topics that are depressing but good and realistic, but amidst all that, Heart and Liming really had very cutesy and heartwarming scenes. But even though the show is boring, the actors are 10/10, it's very rare that I find a full cast of noncringy actors/actresses in a BL, and this is it.

5. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
So these two are so adorable, and even though the series is goofy and is a comedy, it is not cringe at all, and this is rare coming from a Thai high-school comedy. Also they're dynamic is so cutesy, I can't take it anymore. 10/10

6. The Eclipse
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
It's kind of wholesome to see how the characters start developing feelings for one another. The most wholesome and annoying was Kant (Neo), he was fighting and internal battle, with internalized homophobia.
