News S tier BLs
To be great, a BL must meet at least two of the following criteria:
Make me believe in true love
Be hot
Be enjoyably silly goofy
Have something beautiful & true to say about the human condition
Also, this list should include Heated Rivalry and Given the anime, but MDL doesn't have those as options :/

1. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
This, to me, is the gold standard of what I look for in a Thai bl. It's Romeo and Juliet in a modern college setting, it's got a fun ensemble cast, interesting family dynamics, and the leads have excellent chemistry. Also maybe my favorite on-screen kiss of all time.

2. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
If you wanna scratch that BL itch, this will NOT do it. However, if you want to be sort of boiling-frog style consumed and fundamentally changed by one of the most beautiful love stories ever written, then this WILL do it for you.
It's censored, so you have to really pay attention to little details like who's wearing what color underrobe.

3. Fake Fact Lips
Japanese Drama - 2026, 9 episodes
What if two business men could fall in love?
This is just simple and good. There's good chemistry, the plot is interesting and it's just a lot of fun.

4. Me and Thee
Thai Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
This one is less about love and more about the intersection of two wildly different worlds (while still being all about love)
The romance is sweet, the characters are interesting and relatively complex, and Thee is genuinely one of the funniest characters I've ever seen. He's extremely campy and over the top, so it wouldn't be a good choice if you want a ton of realism, but his eccentricities make the show.
It references a lot of other Thai dramas, so I think the experience is a little better if it isn't the first one you've seen.
