Must Watch BLs!

Country: Thai 

Where to watch: YouTube (GMMTV)

Pros: It's my absolute FAVORITE BL, so there are quite a lot:

• EXTREMELY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
• Amazingly cute banter
• Enemies to Lovers <3
• Great story/plot
• Hidden relationship --> usually I wouldn't like this plot line, but this was actually scripted really well in the show itself 
• Has part 2 with Our Skyy 2
• Music elements with amazing OST
• The entire cast is just *chefs kiss*
• The ending especially the last 3 mins (iykyk)
• No NC scenes (just kissing and stuff, nothing too bad)
• GL relationship!!!

Cons: this part is hard

• Toxic best friend arc (but it is resolved quite quickly, so it's okay)
• The shows lighting did the actors dirty in a few shots lmao 
• Honestly, I'm being picky there's a reason why this is one of the highest-rated BLs out there!

Overall: WATCH IT. REWATCH IT. NOW.

Country: Thailand

Where to Watch: Youtube

Pros: 

• Healthy Relationship!! --> CONSENT!!!!!!!!
• Super cute, not cringy at all
• Enemies to Lovers with LOTS of banter 
• Main leads are so adorable (especially Gene (played by Up))
• Nubsib played by Kao from UTWA
• Famous actor/"commoner"
• Shows the "other side" of BL --> a really great commentary 
• Amazing side couple that addresses toxic masculinity and identity
• Great coming out arc and dealing with public opinion
• Beautiful color palate

Cons:

• "Villian" Aoey is AMAZINGLY irritating but still deserved better
• Kind of slow-paced in the first few episodes, I actually dropped it but decided to rewatch it AND ABSOLUTELY THOUGHT I WAS INSANE FOR DROPPING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

Overall: This is a healthy, fun, energetic show that deserves (NEEDS) watching, especially if you're new to BLs and also if you would like to see the "darker" side of the BL industry and have a deeper understanding!
