Overlooked Thai BLs
I keep noticing that whenever people recommend Thai BLs, the recs usually fulfill at least one of the following three criteria:
- The title is "hot" right now.
- The main couple's actors are an imaginary ship with a huge and/or dedicated fanbase.
- It's become one of the few BLs people consider "classics" (whether they are good or not).
BLs that don't are rarely recommended and tend to disappear into obscurity, altough they are perfectly watchable, or even enjoyable*.
So, if you'd like, please add titles to this list that:
- are Thai and
- are older than 12 months (finished airing in 2024 or before) and
- don't have a famous ship for main actors and
- are not "classics" and
- are not regularly on rec lists and
- that you enjoyed*.
Both movies and series are welcome; a title also doesn't have to fit the narrower definition of a "BL" but there should be a focus on romantic / sexual love between men in some way. I'd consider "Shadow" too far out there (although it's very, very good, do try it!), but something like "Gay OK Bangkok" is fine.
Thank you; let's get some eyes on overlooked Thai BLs!
