BL's I've Watched From 2025 [Notes Included]

MDL Notes:

Please don't hate me for this one!
(I feel like this one is going to be *the* drama everyone judges me on. Pfft)

Unhinged obsession & stalking in fiction land win my heart again.
I will say the multiverse aspect is fun but I find it a smidgen disappointing that it all ends up being less important than advertised. It's very mame-y so just be aware. Spicy once in a while and very sweet sometimes. Long term stalker turned love interest is SO VERY up my alley but not for everyone. I feel like the second couple was not particularly fleshed out and could have been fun elsewhere maybe.
The family drama never really had a conclusion and felt SO unnecessary. There was plenty of MC drama that could have been expanded on or even more time with 2nd couple. I just didn't care for that.
Overall well acted by the leads considering how flimsy this plot is, but it *IS* a Mame series so you know what you're signing up for.

Episode 6: We've got an ear kiss scene! AYOOOO!
Episode 7: A lot of neck-grabbing and finger-in-mouth shenanigans. I know peeps keen on those tropes so I'm keeping it logged. Pfft.

MDL Notes:

Yandere second lead, tsundere 3rd and a puppy dog main love interest for the lead character. OH MY GOSH is this a toxic mess but I LOVE IT. Brobro tried to kill himself and his love interest so they could be together. That is the most Yandere shit I've seen in a while. I LOVE IT. Om nom nom. I'll eat that shit up all day.

TWs: Forced kisses / Attempted SA / Stalking / Self harm / Stabbing / etc

MDL Notes:

TW: Attempted / Forced physical touch & kisses / general NC

The Fight For You couple appear in this!!! Ah, the way I love Taiwanese miniverse vibes.
If you can jump over the idea that one of the leads *WAS* older (aka, is no longer / is in the body of a young man) then I highly suggest this. It's SO precious. We love a red thread / fated mate moment.
Secondary couple is just attached at the hip from the beginning essentially and the tertiary lesbian couple MADE THIS SHOW FOR ME. THEY ARE MADE OF ADORABLE AHHHHHH. I would watch a WHOLE show for them.
There's a deluge of lovely on screen kisses from all of the couples (MC / Secondary / Tertiary). Low heat and just a fun time with some lil angsty moments.

Spoiler note:
There is initially a 'villian' persay in this show but I really attached to him (despite his flaws / actions / behaviours). He kinda was just dropped into a weird situation considering Xiacha doesn't know him / feel comfy around him. I dunno. I'm NOT saying he's a good dude but I can imagine how fucking confusing this must be for Ruiqing considering his boyfriend is just attached at the hip to another person he (obviously) had a thing for. Like without a proper break up or anything. It's so grey area for him so I'm not shocked he's just confused af and wants to be back with his partner. I'm glad they let him have a arc where he can heal (both in regards to his lost love and with his brother).

[Personal Rating: 9]

MDL Notes:

TW: Dub-con / NC

You literally walk into an ear scene at one point... Not even a bite but bro is going at it. xD I'm locked in.

That said, it's a soft obsessed friends to lovers drama. One party is worried about their family's reaction and the other is just locked in and willing to do whatever to keep their partner.
(Spoiler: Small break up scene, but it's resolved quickly. I know some peeps aren't keen on breakups for "no reason".)
Mid-spice level. Pretty endearing aftercare as well.
The side sapphic couple is EVERYTHING to me. The girls are girling <3 Zany x Sweet and Sassy.

Gets extra points in my overall score for obsession. I'm weak. Better than the source material that's legit just an N/C manga (not that that's a complaint, just a fact xD). I'm here for the extra plot!

Also points for muh boi Chia Wei showing up <3 I'm so fond~

MDL Notes:

Overall a super sweet / soft drama. I definitely think I personally prefer the novel a smidgen more but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the drama! I just wish there was more time to expand on some of the lil plot points that felt so quick / skipped (as they aren't important to the plot).
Super soft, a couple cute lil pecks. Nothing too crazy though. Supportive friend group dramas are always nice and cozy. I'm always a fan of HYPERFOCUSED / OBSESSED leads, so there's always that as well. Pfft. Cute lil ear rub during the finale. Love to see it.

MDL Notes:

Episode 5 earlobe touching. STOOOOP. I'm WEAK!!! And he has little elven ears as well. I cannot.
NC kissing scene was lengthy but shot super tastefully. SO many little nose boops / neck rubs / so much eye contact and sweet little exchanges with banter in between.
The episode 7 angst was super interesting and I appreciated the  inclusion of backstory but it just wasn't enough really...
GIVE ME MORE of the besties ghost ship. I NEED IT. THEY HAD SUCH A SWEET ENDING. Episode 8 was just FULL of second not-a-couple and I LOVE THEM. Overall this show had me begging for more each week.

Between a 9.5 and a 10. May change to a 10.

MDL Notes:

Boy oh boy the tropes are troping for me, so I feel inclined to give this a personal 9.5 even though I did have issues with this which made it kinda a 8.5. We'll overlook them (for now) and keep it at a 9.5.
I feel like Yi's story felt SO unnecessary... Kinda felt like throwing a villain in for no reason other than to have the ending near-death scene + have a reason for Apo and Thorn to meet. The father was plenty antagonistic enough to just be the main.
Other than that, I feel like this was a sufficiently floofy fluffy show. I am in LOVE with Big and Park's chemistry. It felt like such an upgrade from MND (and I LOVED that show).
THE EAR KISSES AND LICKS WERE FOR MEEEEE!!! (Also, can I just say I low key love Pan's ears? He has an interesting helix curve and it's kinda 10/10. I hope to see more from him in the future! A rookie I'm keen to keep tabs on.)
Secondary couple were essentially EVERYTHING I would have wanted from the secondary in 'The Boy Next World'. What could have been from a mind reading antsy couple. They were such a soft lil hoot.
More comedy than I trend toward but tasteful for the most part! Overall what I'd consider a super enjoyable watch. <3

MDL Notes:

Bihyeong's HEAVILY ATTACHED era is THE CUTEST GD THING EVER. STFU. As soon as he *knows* Geumbok is his 'master' he goes FULL CUDDLY CUTIE PIE PUMPKIN MODE and ahhhhh!! How cute.
Honestly this was a HOOT. I had a ton of fun with this. I wasn't a super fan of the secondaries outside the context of them being friends / enemies essentially, but the mains were GREAT. I would watch more of this kinda content asapy sap. Gimmie a S2 at this point. xD Love a bit of Grumpy (tsundere) x Sunshine.

MDL Notes:

Soft puppy that takes care of his family x Spy that is terrible at his job that wind up renting a house together (the renters being Ever 4 and Bushi from Eternal Butler!!!). So much teasing and a playful dynamic between the 2 leads. Outside of 2 (kinda 3) episodes of drama, it's mostly just fluffy fluff. The finale is just a deluge of kisses from both the main couple and the secondary (which I still say should have been a throuple).
There is the SWEETEST mf grandmother and a grouchy / initially disapproving grandfather.
Happiest of happy endings. Just saccharine sweet most of the time.

MDL Notes:

Fluffy fluffy fluff.
Main couple age gap for those antsy (youngest is 18).
Second couple includes a widower and the brother of the youngest.
Mild spice for those interested but it does have spicy scenes with *both* couples, including the age gap.
Generally enjoyable.

MDL Notes:

Cozy wozy soft domestic found family dynamics. A ball of sunshine waltzes into the lives of 4 vampire bois and silliness ensues. Adorable little romance from the 1st couple and goofball energy from the 2nd. I find it silly to see vampires try to Hansel and Gretel this poor soft little human.
2nd couple angle kiss, which I know may upset people. Just taking note.
Easy binge with just the SLIGHTEST sprinkle of jealousy plot.

MDL Notes:

Overall a very comfy watch. Prince who has lost his memory x rough and tumble lad that's low key HARD attached. It's an interesting premise. The prince's sister was a wonderful support system and I appreciated all of Lava's friends. We also get a wedding (Lava's uncle and the doctor) as well as a proposal at the end. Just a lot of comfy cozy vibes with minimal (but sometimes painful) breakup-y angst near the end. I took a short break from this for a bit, but I still enjoyed it overall. Pretty solid spice so not totally safe for the whole family. Also some pretty wild make out sessions (if that's your cuppa). xD

MDL Notes:

Story 1: 2 secondary school graduates pine after one another HEAVILY and try to express wanting to stay together despite going to different Unis. The pining is so real and sweet. A semi-confession in the end. It's just very sweet.

Story 2: A confession one evening leads to an awkward conversation the next day or so. One party has a bracelet that lets them travel back just slightly to try and fix his "mistake". In the end they wind up confessing to one another. It's sweet but not my favourite. Dead kiss if that bothers you in any way.

Story 3: **LARGE SPOILER** Main character's death offscreen. Such a sweet story. A homebody who takes care of a house for his mother and an initially cold character. Slowly, they get to know one another and form a cute bond. A sweet little kiss and a sad ending. I would have watched a whole series of this on,e it's so sad and sweet.

Story 4: Lost college love turned coworkers. One is chasing after the other while the other wants to avoid his feelings from the past and present. It's incredibly sweet and cute if you like long-term term distant pining and a happy ending. A solid kiss at the end and just good vibes. One of the two kinda leans on the stalk-y side (he kept tabs on him over the years and pushed the other person into a corner so to speak) but I enjoyed it a ton.

Overall, stories 1 & 4 are my favourites, with 3 close behind, and I'm subpar on story 2.

MDL Notes:

TWs: Sexual Coercion (A character does not *always* give expressed consent, rather just accepts it afterward or as it is happening after some manipulation) / Light arguable N/C (where one character tries to stop, but the other does not until finished [up to interpretation] **blowjob scene**)

The story was honestly pretty fun. I'm a hoe for an office romance and this kinda gave that. I think the chemistry was there for the mains, and I'm a smidgen sad it wasn't 100% for the side when it came to their intimacy (as I do enjoy Yoon. He's just so silly).  It just felt a little distant (?). It's hard to describe really.

The fire escape / stairwell is legit only there for sex. Pfft. What a silly place to even shoot some of these scenes. xD

Sorn did a COMPLETE 180 near the end and I honestly wish there was more time with him in sappy / lovestruck mode rather than just possessive over his not-a-boyfriend mode.

Thai also was just obviously very keen on Champ and refused to acknowledge that. Honestly? I feel like that was more frustrating to watch as there wasn't a lot of build up to them not admitting their feelings. It felt like a mirroring to the mains that didn't need to happen in the last 2 or 3 episodes... They *could* have been more communicative, sure, but w/e.
Just felt rushed / slapdash in the *way* they included their spat near the end is all.

High spice levels for those keen on that kinda schtick.

I'm glad we did have a few episodes where Sorn had to genuinely take a step back and reevaluate, but I really didn't feel super satisfied in the way I hoped I would when he did try to court Jun. It may just be me though... It was great to see him need to *ACTUALLY* try, but it also just felt so... quick? I'm unsure. Hard to pinpoint.

Despite this shows many faults imo, I still found this hilariously fun / stupid to binge. They all tried their best with the concept and it delivered a goofy lil time-wastey drama.

MDL Notes:

Episode 3: The little ear-rub!!! EEEEEE!!!

This show was generally super floofy and has *very* mild angst. Definitely makes for a good binge. Super supportive siblings and office slice-of-life vibes between all the romance. Happy ending and a couple super cute kisses. Zero spice and pretty darn family friendly.
Note: Be a smidgen prepared for an "unnecessary breakup" kinda vibe even though they aren't together at the time. Lack of communication strikes once again.

MDL Notes:

TW: MC Death (Not the Main couple)

The CGI and shenanigans were outlandish but added to the silliness for me. Definitely not for everyone.
This was a vampire drama set with some university shenanigans.  The chemistry was absolutely fire (despite how I may feel about Joss personally). Ear bite scene. Gotta mention that.
I loved Tonkla, and he deserved better this ENTIRE show.
Nakan made for such a fun villain (turned decent dude).
Mark needed to get his horny ass off of Tong at the most inappro moments.
A gorgeous beach scene with some wonderful shots spread throughout.
Not something for everyone, but definitely tickled my fancy. If you're here for vampire shenanigans, perhaps tone that down 20 notches. It really only exists in the very beginning and the very end.

(I had a whole review here but it deleted. Rip. This will do)

MDL Notes:

If this weren't so "will they, won't they" for the entirety of the show, I think I'd appreciate it more. Overall a goofy / toxic / fun time. The leads are cousins (although not blood related), so if that skeeves you out at all, I'd say pass this one.
Outside of that, we love a kinky contract 'not a relationship'. I was so sat until it turned into a full-time back and forth relationship kinda drama. Worth it for the cast (and the chemistry was chemistry-ing), but not my favourite toxic watch. Fun for a binge I suppose.

MDL Notes:

The Bias falls Harder trope. Very cutesy and just fun for a once-through. I fell *hard* for the side couple while they were in their cutesy era. We love a little groveling to try and make up for your wrongs as well. Overall, just a super bingable / digestible little show. Zero heat with a few cute kisses. ^^
Kinda low key dying over L.Joe in this drama though. I haven't seen him in anything in SO long so this was a treat.

MDL Notes:

TW: N/C & dubcon interactions / Gang rape off screen in episode 1 / coercion / manipulation / past abuse & grooming  / Self harm / suicide attempt / death / grief / kidnapping / queerphobia

• Around a 7.5 for me, but it gets points for acting & would definitely be something I could imagine recommending to someone in the future.

• Love love love second couple's constant teasing and eventual domesticity.
• 1 shared brain cell shared amongst the entire cast (usually Chengyu is borrowing the brain cell but not always)
• LOVED the side cast, even the "villians" (ie, WangShuo). Wang Zhen and Gang Zi have my whole heart.
• TW for me I suppose with a mother that refuses to tell her son that she's terminally ill and a partner that just rolls with it when asked (even if it's an attempt to be respectful, it's just not it)
•  Main couple briefly fakes physical abuse. A HUGE no no imo. Did not appreciate that
• Love the manipulation plotline in the first half for first couple. Intensely fun to see the mains settle into their eventual relationship.
• The acting was incredible, even if I struggled with the script writing / flow of the story. (***MOSTLY*** in the latter half.)
• Mild on screen spice but understand what you're getting into. Definitely not for younger audiences. xD

MDL Notes:

Goofy lil drama with essentially zero heat and a few kisses sprinkled in. (There is some bedside shirtless kissing but no actual higher heat scenes) Generally family friendly.
Just a little fated lovers / romeo and juliet moments with silliness between. Vampire hunter x Vampire fated mates. Fun lil secondary (not quite a) couple.
Some fun one liners: "Why are you breathing heavily? You don't even breathe."
Quick binge with a quick silly story.
Very fulffy puppy-like vampire x grumpy cat hunter.

MDL Notes:

Episode 1 ear caresses are pretty top tier.
Honestly unsure how to rate this. I quite enjoyed it (despite my internal cringe meter). Fluffy zero heat (but plenty of sparks) drama. OST slapped and I wish I knew that one song. Plenty of inner monologue moments where are always a hoot and a half. Happy ending but felt kinda rushed (but that happens with mini/short dramas plenty). Super easily digestible idol x fanboy romance. Probably an 8 or 8.5.

MDL Notes:

TW: SA / Cheating
I enjoy a drama where the leads aren't faultless. I also kinda appreciate that there's a hint of potential grey-ace in one of the side characters.
Sei says the most OUT OF POCKET ish in this show and I kinda love that. Zero filter in such a fun way.
In Episode 3, there is such a cute little edit as Rei and Kazuaki are emailing back and forth. It just made me smile.
Overall kinda slow in the very beginning but picked up and made for a fun little watch.

MDL Notes:

• I'm between an 8 and an 8.5.
• University strangers to friends to unofficial boyfriends and so on... Years after a breakup, 2 men wind up working together (we love an office romance) and share their sides of the breakup story over a few angsty episodes.
• Medium heat drama with some lovely kisses. If that's your cuppa, you may enjoy this.
• If you don't enjoy misunderstandings or lack of communication, be wary as that is a driving force for this plot.
• I LOVE a drama that shows both of the main characters' sides of the story.  You get a few episodes for each of them to see where their headspace was in the past.
• Episode 5 had an incredibly gentle, intimate scene. I felt the weight of 8 years of misunderstandings fall off their shoulders, if only for a moment.
• One thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the spontaneous addition of a terrible father plot... I don't think this needed that if I'm 100%. It didn't add anything *SUPER* significant to it, nor did it last long. It was just *there*.

MDL Notes:

Read the TWs for sure (N/C / Death / Childhood trauma / Loss of a friend (or partner) / general yakuza ish)

An easy lil binge. Not nearly as toxic as I thought it would be. I mean, obviously it has toxic tropes and tags, but I was expecting a lot more than there was considering the context.
Rather 'cheery' persay for a yakuza drama. Some feelsy bits and a lot of random n/c and childhood & adulthood trauma but softer than expected.

MDL Notes:

Two childhood friends reunite and wind up professing their love / affection for one another. They then proceed to date and explore being out of the closet per say around friends / family / coworkers. Overall just a super saccharine sweet story.
Family trauma on both sides (overcontrolling mother / judgmental sexist father). But the leads work together to overcome their trauma and anxiety. Happy puppy x anxious mouse.
The coworkers annoyed tf outta me but they level out and wind up being adorable / supportive.
Cafe owner is the best cupid. xD

MDL Notes:

Pure fanservice with loosely tied together plot points. If you're a fan of Krist and Singto, the story is essentially just held on their shoulders (with some assistance from Earn, Jamie and Pai)
Cartoon villian bits, a whole castaway episode, a blind mother plot that suddenly drops in your lap and then a wedding? I don't know what they were going for with this one. You spend the whole first 6 episodes in back and forth / will they won't they land and by the end, the most communicative characters are essentially anyone but the leads.
I wish I didn't feel jebated with a sapphic couple that is all but forgotten until the last 5 minutes...
Points for a detailed, very sweet wedding episode. It's more than you'll get from most dramas and pure fanservice-y goodness if that's what you're keen on.
(Note: Episode 5 has a little ear nom)
(Note: Close the fridge, please.)

[Personal Score: 7]

MDL Notes:

As a HUGE Jimmy/Sea fangirl, I was pretty excited for this one. That said, the pacing (especially in the second half) felt so off for me. First's character was cartoonishly bad at playing a 'villian' and that whole story felt so underwhelming.
Did I enjoy these two mains going through a process of healing emotional / mental wounds essentially by being in one another's presence? Sure. Was I astounded? Not so much. You get plenty of JimmySea chemistry if that's what you're keen on, but the side stories (First's / The father & son relationship for Thap / 2nd couple SO QUICKLY establishing) just feel lackluster.
Also, weirdest way to end a show with an "interview" with Thap and In. What on earth was that.

MDL Notes:

TW: Psuedo non-con bedroom kisses

I require more of that angst that a movie just couldn't fulfill I suppose. I LOVED the angsty bits. Gimmie more crying, arguments and feely feels that feel feely. Ate those bits up. Om nom nom.
Overall a fine watch, with some gorgeous shots and fun dialogue bits. Feels like something that could have been a series (or at least a mini-series). Lovely chemistry and whatnot just maybe not *entirely* for me.

MDL Notes:

Coworkers to flirtationship friends to eventual lovers. Super soft and not a lot happens but it was sweet and easy to binge. We love a younger chases older vibe. 1 very cute / solid kiss at the VERY end, otherwise zero heat. Just soft jealousy and flirting.

MDL Notes:

TW: Brief N/C (pulling down pants and trying to kiss during a fight).

I'm glad the characters leveled out midway. I appreciated this childhood crush / adulthood "revenge" plot more than it seems others did. This was super feel good once you get past the "trying to get revenge era". Once Natsuo and Hiro settle into the domestic era, I was so hooked.
Low spice. A few sweet kisses, and a finale brief NC scene. Just super super sweet.
I really enjoyed Natsuo when he is so smitten, the smiles, the shyness, etc. So sweet.
Made for a fun little binge.

RANDOM appearance of Dai (The Boyfriend). I was not expecting that. xD

MDL Notes:

Fighty at each other's throats to lovers for one couple and mutual pining that's initially doomed to fail in the secondary. Both couples wind up together and it's a happy ending with a wedding. The last episode is essentially a string of intimacy scenes with a wedding in between.
3rd 'likely a couple' is kinda cute as well as a 4th lesbian couple. Overall, it was just watchable but nothing special. Probably would have made a better binge.
I'd say it's one of my least favourite of the Taiwanese BLs, but watchable. Not really suggested for most though.

MDL Notes:

Soft little fake dating drama. Nothing much to it but digestible. If you like a nerdy boi x puppy vibe or shy pining x oblivious then you may enjoy this.
One of the actors has some pretty lil ears. Very adorable.

MDL Notes:

BOY OH BOY. I have NO idea what to rate this. That said, I give Gao Tu alone a 100 outta 10. SWEETEST DARLING BABIEST CUTEST CUTIE PATOOT I EVER DID SEE. Everything about his entire being was torn down through childhood and shit on in his adulthood by his crush (and eventual father of his child) & father. I don't even ship him with anyone. xD I just want him to be happy with his sister and that's all. Pffft. I eventually kinda felt fine-ish I guess with Wen Lang and Shao You over time but never attached to Hua Yong. I dunno.
What a ride though. Easy binge and fun trash watch overall. Probably gets like a 6.5 or 7

MDL Notes:

Between a 6.5 and 7.
This was a really fun reimagining for fans of Ossan's. For fans of EarthMix and/or GMM, there are LOADS of little nods to other actors and EarthMix shows/merch/products.
Overall, this is just a fun little watch. If you can't handle the comedy from the original Ossan's, this might be a smidgen better for you. It's still all over the place, but there are some genuinely sweet/heart-wrenching moments. It's just a fun little romp.

Things that upset me still, between any version, and in this in particular:
Mo refuses to express his feelings or stand up for his relationship whenever the slightest difficulty arises. It is wildly infuriating, but not unexpected. Pfft.

MDL Notes:

Reverse harem. I really was rooting for the ex-team leader the whole time and was keen on a puppy x barista side couple but we can't always get what we want. (That or a polycule but ya know. Pfft). Not the worst reverse harem-esque drama I've seen, but definitely not a favourite. Made for an easy binge though. If you liked Secret Relationships and want something softer, that's kinda the vibe here. Some decent kisses as well if you're keen.

MDL Notes:

The flirtationship and closeted love story pre-enlistment for one character and post-breakup for another. It's honestly so sad but cute. Painful but excited to feel more pain during the second season. I didn't watch any of the extra paid-for scenes but I assume most of those are just extended cuts of the kisses etc as per most of this channel's shows. Hype for season 2.

MDL Notes:

I feel like it really rushed everyone's ending. They spent the last 2 episodes trying to lead toward every confession, and just the pacing felt very 0 to 100.
All that said, I think it's just a good coming-of-age show. BL? Not 100% since it follows 2 het couples kinda and then one queer couple but ya know.
It's a friend group drama with various coupling, I'd say. Good time-wastey shenanigans.
I wouldn't suggest this as a pure BL though, if that bothers others.

MDL Notes:

I honestly don't blame Woohyeon for feeling some kinda way. There is so much pointed flirtatious language. Like, stop it, but also jeez.
Sori is so funny. She's such a silly litle nugget. I just love when she shows up on screen to give Woohyeon shit.
I love their little spicy noodle make up session. They are SO CUTE when they're "dating".
I appreciate that the teacher's story pretty much dies by the midway point.
Doha holding out telling Woohyeon is just not it... Ooof. Yikes...
Time-skip meetup to a fluffy ending.
It's nothing revolutionary, but a fluffy short binge. Decent if you have time but nothing to write home about.

MDL Notes:

TW: Domestic Abuse

This show's plot felt so shallow... The costuming? On point. The setting? Glorious. Some of the side / extra characters? So fun and cute. The chemisty? Depends on what you enjoy but there's plenty for ZeeNuNew peeps. (Also a spicy / alternative secondary couple).
As for the story / world building, oh dear goodness, this took a turn for the boring very early on. Kept this show on 1.5x + for a while just to get through. We were also on a proper speedrun through the main competition & conflict in the final 3 episodes. Definitely was not for me.

MDL Notes:

TW: Attempted sleep kiss

This made for a palatable binge, but beware of the back and forth / will they won't they discuss their feelings, with a character that just wants to feel sorry for himself.
Confused puppy x Sullen mopey whine-y boi (Hamin being an accidental 3rd wheel chaos goblin).
There is a suggested side lesbian crush, which is probably the cutest part of this show all in all.
Zero spice show with a couple decent kisses.
Significant portions of the show probably could have been cut out that were spent on flashbacks.
I wouldn't suggest this to anyone who dislikes angsty non-communication.

MDL Notes:

TW: SA / Victim Blaming

Did I love this drama? Not really. Was it SUPER well recieved? Yes.
If you're looking for higher spice with a lot of crying / angsty angst, then I can definitely suggest this for you.
I have to knock of hella points for episode 6's victim blaming shenanigans. This is also the episode that included SA so just be wary of that.
I honestly really started to love Johnny's character with Naru. I thought they were a chaotic lil duo after Johnny stops his "villian" arc.
The Sigma CEO is just comically evil in a way that just kinda ehhh.
Boom has such wonderful acting range in this as a whole, imo. He's impressive to watch during the more emotionally charged scenes.

MDL Notes:

Step brothers being all fighty and eventually coming to like one another... Daw~ BUT OH NO, HERE COMES THE WHITE TRUCK OF DOOOOOM. Time to travel back in time to before the accident... Unfortunately they no longer have that bond. Whatever shall they do!
The answer: Low key insert yourself into his life (pre-step brother) and just hover over him / help him.
Twice might I add.
There is no real "happy ending" for the couple. They wind up splitting up. It's all very bittersweet. Both of them live on but without each other. There is a special meant to give it a happy ending I believe but don't expect that here.

MDL Notes:

Feels like a discount 'Love for Love's Sake' but with an obsessive ex and a scheming woman. Honestly not terrible. Mid-way through they kinda drop the "game quest" system but it's swiftly brought back near the end to tie up the story. Fluffy boss is fluffy when he wants to be near the end. It's very similar to LFLS in that boss offers to give up his own life to keep his partner from suffering more.
Happy ending as an aside. Pfft. I should preface.
A fun lil binge but nothing too crazy. Zero heat essentially but some cute lil kisses for a mini-drama. Time wastey fun times.

MDL Notes:

Terrible but short enough for a binge.
The voice over was some of the worst I've seen in *AGES*.
All of that said? A TW delight. Toxic stepbrother obsession / forced kisses / etc. Would I suggest this? No. Did I have *fun* with the idea? Yeah. Pfft. I love me some toxicity. Pfft.

MDL Notes:

Killer x Baseball Player (with an abusive father issue). We looooove a killer that "only kills 'bad' people" vibe. Pfft. What a hoot and a half. Slow but chill story. Some incredibly fun "twists" near the end.
(Spoiler: the baseball player winds up absorbing the same MO as his killer partner & the goofy friend group lad winds up being a cop that is working with the killer)
Fun time wastey nonsense but a bit slow going sometimes. Still a fun ride.
Zero heat with one little kiss. I guess you could call it family friendly minus the whole abusive family story and the killing (off screen entirely). xD

MDL Notes:

TW: N/C shenanigans / General violence

Watched it for Jaonine, and holy all that is good, this was a hoot and a half. Was it good? Not at all. But it was hella amusing. xD Bro was just FEEDING his gambling addiction at some point and I was dying. What a goofy show.

I *loved* the random back of the gambling hall black market selling of people shenanigans. WTF is up with that place. I was DYING. So funny.

MDL Notes:

Quick / soft little writer x gym employee / fan story.
Nothing much going on with this one. I will say the sound design is attrocious (sound only on one side of the headset). Mono fixed it but just be aware!! A couple cute kisses I suppose. Very predictable fluff.

MDL Notes:

I love this kind of premise but it's so short and difficult to find in HQ  that it's just not worth the 10 minute watch ngl. The lowest budget kinda production. If you just want a dude getting grouchy over stalker texts, the stalker running into him, them talking it out and leading said stalker into the room to have some relatively okay on-screen sex, sure, go for it. But I did warn you it's really not worth. Pfft.

MDL Notes:

INCREDIBLY EXPLICIT. Full nudity short sex scenes. That said, and interesting premise. I kinda wish I knew who the girlie made. I would have been so keen for a lesbian route for this one as well. Pfft. Anyways, just a short sculptor x sculpture come to life drama. Not a lot going on in this one but if you're really keen on minis and want something pretty explicit, pop this on for a quick watch.

MDL Notes:

I LOVE a female bestie. She's so sweet and supportive.
Terribly acted, the drama has very little to stand on story wise, but a hoot.
Supportive family and besties. Just generally a nothingburger of a show but not the *WORST* I've seen.

MDL Notes:

Wtf was this?! xD The "leads" (if you can call them that) were honestly super pretty and adorable. I would live to see them in an *actual* show. But this was legit just a short where two friend groups kinda coerce their friends to go into the bathroom and have oral sex. It was a goofy time. Can't suggest but it was funny for the bit. Pfft.

MDL Notes:

TW: Drunk Sex / Old BL Tropey Tropes /

What do you mean you saw someone else while you're getting a blowjob in the car and are like "Actually, I want that". I'm sorry, that is the FUNNIEST love at first sight moment I've seen in a HOT minute. Second couple are so insane. xD

Feels like a mid-2010s BL drama. ALL of the tropes. Random murderous jealous side character included briefly. Pfft. Mid-spice although just very ehhh. 2 set main couples, 1 bromance couple and 1 partially sapphic couple.
It's nothing special but not the worst thing I've ever seen (on 1.5x speed with skips)
There is just SO much dead space between lines and so much staring into one another's eyes. Ehhh.
They all did the best they could with the script they were given.

MDL Notes:

What on earth was this train wreck? Pfft.
We have about 4 stories going at the same time:
1 Main couple / 1 teen couple / 1 GL [the only psuedo healthy relationship] and 1 discount VegasPete situation.

Main Couple: On and off again with cheating / SA / manipulation
Teen Couple: One roudy kid running for president of his school year x a nerd that just likes him (this story is never finished)
GL: Somewhat healthy childhood friends to lovers minus some lack of communication
Discount VegasPete: Literally just enemies to hate sex partners for no reason. HEAVY on the SA / Kidnapping / Physical assault / Torture / etc. Also one of the actors just butt ass naked during a hate sex scene. I just have no idea what this was even about. xD

Watched this at mostly 1.25x speed with some skips. I do not suggest this unless you're *TRULY* bored and or just love obsession and TWs for the sake of it. That's basically what kept me going. xD

Post credits scene at the end alluding to a second season. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. Good luck.

MDL Notes:

Oh the dubbing / editing and filming are ATTROCIOUS. Yikes. Holy terrible drama batman. We love a contract drama, but what even *is* their contract?! xD It feels very laissez faire. If you just wanna see two dudes make out for an hour and change, that's basically this show. Pffft. The plot is not plotting and never did.  2.0x speed and *still* skipped a bunch. xD
