Taiwanese BL ranked
-
1. HIStory3: Trapped
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
Two adult main leads on equal footing, enemies to lovers, cops vs gangsters AND stupid humour? … Did I die and go to heaven?
-
2. Unknown
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Slayed where HIStory4 faceplanted.
-
3. See Your Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 13 episodes
Close enough, welcome back HIStory.
Editing and sound mixing were slightly iffy, there were a bit too many coincidences and tripping into each other’s arms, and who learns sign language THAT fast, but fuck me if they weren’t cute af and nailed the emotional scenes. Lowkey I’m upset I’ll never have what they have.
-
4. About Youth
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Gave me cute aggression.
-
5. We Best Love: No. 1 For You
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
I have a thing for wannabe tough/feisty guys who end up crying in front of their one-sided enemy and future lover. (I know, specific, but this isn’t the only one!)
-
6. HIStory3: Make Our Days Count
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
Hated it the first watch, now loving it. Docking one point for the last episode (S K I P I T) and another point for the second couple.
-
7. HIStory2: Crossing the Line
Taiwanese Special - 2018, 8 episodes
Non-existent plot but I projectile-vomit glitter every time I rewatch. Both first and second couples are flawless.
-
8. Meet You at the Blossom
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Wonky in places but you can tell everyone gave it their all, including the costume and set teams.
-
9. Kiseki: Dear to Me
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
It’s ok if your disbelief is firmly suspended.
-
10. The Promise of the Soul
Taiwanese Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
I don't think they could have done better than this given how weird the premise is.
-
11. You Are Mine
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Director: how many tropes can we fit in this series?
Team of writers: yes.
-
12. My Tooth Your Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Lots of eye candy, very little plot.
-
13. Because of You
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
I still think this was a social experiment.
-
14. Plus & Minus
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Uninspired, but the actors are good-looking.
-
15. Be Loved in House: I Do
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Bored me to tears. Two gorgeous grown men acting a bad high school BL level script.
-
16. We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Takes itself too seriously. Too heavy-handed with the drama given the stakes. Entire conflict rests on a stupid, cliché misunderstanding.
-
17. HIStory4: Close to You
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
Reused so many old tropes but not the good ones.
-
18. HIStory: My Hero
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
Who falls in love 7 days after their lover died???
