BLs that I watched and liked... (part3)

"Let's grow old together." CRYING MY EYES OUT TT TT

Honestly, this BL deserved SO much more promotion and recognition because what a lovely little story this was...

There were so many twists, turns, drama, plot twists, romance in the middle of the forest… it really had me invested. The story kept throwing things at them and I was just sitting there like CAN THESE MEN PLEASE HAVE ONE DAY OF PEACE???? TT

Of course, it’s not perfect. The development could’ve been stronger in some parts, and I wouldn’t say the acting was the best I’ve ever seen either, but honestly? The vibe carried this show so hard. There’s something about the atmosphere, the story and the relationship between them that just worked for me.

And that ending??? Seeing them grow old and get married after everything they went through absolutely destroyed me. After all the pain, uncertainty and everything standing between them, getting to see them finally have a life together was honestly the perfect way to end their story.

This was a such beautiful and emotional little surprise, and deserved waaaaay much more attention. Okay, it's not perfect, but the story, the atmosphere and that ending completely won me over.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT PLOT TWIST????? (In a good way tho)

I went into this one knowing literally NOTHING. I didn’t even read the synopsis. I only saw Gun Na Ranong in the cast and was like “sure, why not?” Especially since it’s only 6 episodes, I thought I’d just watch it casually and move on.

AND THEN THE PLOT TWIST HAPPENED!!!! I was sitting there like EXCUSE ME????? I honestly did NOT see that coming. Not in a million years. And because I went in completely blind, the reveal hit SO much harder lol.

The concept was actually brilliant. I just wish they had developed it better because there was so much potential here. With a little more time and better development, this could’ve been SO much more impactful.

But even with its flaws, I really enjoyed it. It was short, unexpected, and managed to surprise me when I absolutely wasn’t expecting it.

I really wanted to love this one, but unfortunately… I DROPPED IT. TT

Honestly, my biggest problem is that it feels like they invested SO much into the costumes, sets, cinematography and promotion that they forgot one tiny little detail: THE STORY.

Because visually? Gorgeous. Absolutely STUNNING. The production is clearly one of the biggest strengths of this series, and you can tell they put a LOT of money and effort into making everything look grand and luxurious. But unfortunately, a pretty set can only carry a story so far.

The plot had SO much potential — royalty, political intrigue, forbidden romance, power struggles, assassinations, family drama… like the ingredients for an incredible drama were RIGHT THERE. But the writing just never managed to make everything as compelling as the production made it look. A lot of things felt underdeveloped, and eventually I just stopped caring enough to keep going.

It’s not necessarily a bad series, and I can absolutely see why people love it. Zee and NuNew have their moments, their chemistry is INSANE, the production is beautiful, and there are definitely some good scenes in there. But for me, the hype was mostly visual. They made the series look like a 10/10 and then forgot that the story also had to work as a 10/10.

I really wish they had put as much effort into the writing and development as they did into making everything look pretty, because the potential was HUGE.

"This time, I'll not let you go." THEY'RE SO SO CUTE ><

The plot is basic, but it kept me interested, the characters were cute, and the whole thing had such a cozy vibe that I ended up enjoying it a lot.

My only complaint — and this is becoming a PERSONAL ATTACK from Korea at me at this point — is the runtime. I mean 10–15 minutes per episode????? BITCH you better be joking!!!!

Seriously, give these dramas some actual screen time!!!!!!

FINALLY I FINISHED THIS THING!!!! (in a good way tho)

I’ve been trying to watch Why R U? since it came out, but I could NEVER get past episode 2 because the beginning was just… so boring. I kept saying “I’ll watch it later” until I basically gave up. Then an edit of Zee and Saint randomly appeared on my timeline and I decided I was going to finish this series even if I had to do it through sheer hatred lol.

And honestly? I’m glad I did. But I've tbh It really only starts getting good around episodes 6/7, but once it finally picks up, I actually had a lot of fun watching it.

I also have to say that Zee and Saint’s acting style is pretty basic to me. Even now, with different partners, I don’t think they necessarily do anything super different with their acting. BUT… the chemistry is undeniable. And their nc scenes??? EXCUSE ME???? I was NOT expecting that. They definitely surprised me there.

The biggest problem for me was the writing. There were SO many holes and missing pieces that sometimes I was just sitting there thinking, “wait… HOW DID WE GET HERE?” Some scenes felt like important parts of the story had simply been cut out.

The SaifahZon storyline is probably the biggest example. It felt like half of their story was missing, which made everything feel really confusing. I understand the production was heavily affected by the covid-19 pandemic, so I can’t completely blame the series for that, and thankfully they eventually gave us the special episodes to fill in more of their story.

The other side characters, though… were REALLY side characters haha Most of them barely got any development, and I was especially disappointed because I wanted so much more of Japan and Tanthai. THEY WERE SO CUTE TT

Anyway... the series is so slow and frustrating at the beginning, messy in the writing and full of plot holes, but once it finally gets going, it becomes genuinely enjoyable. The chemistry between Zee and Saint absolutely carried a lot of this for me.

I really wanted to like this one more than I actually did.

The premise was honestly pretty interesting, and I liked the idea of the whole prince/servant dynamic, especially with the historical setting and all the possibilities that came with it.

BUT… it lost its impact way too quickly.

The story felt SO dragged out at times, and after a while I was basically just waiting for something to happen. The premise had potential, but the execution didn’t keep me interested enough, and the pacing made everything feel much longer than it needed to be.

And I’m sorry but… THE COUPLE DID NOT HELP. I just couldn’t see the chemistry there, and unfortunately when I’m not invested in the couple, a slow plot becomes approximately 500 times harder to survive. BTW I really like Seto Toshiki, specially in Senpai, This Can’t Be Love! and The End of the World with You, and Ogawa Fuminori it's cute so the problem to me it's definitely not the acting... I just didn't feel them as a couple...

There were some cute moments and I still think the idea behind the story could’ve worked really well, but it needed a MUCH better development and probably a lot less dragging things out.

This could've been such a masterpiece... TT

ISTG this is one of those dramas where I kept thinking “if they had actually invested in this…” because the premise was SO good. Like, we get vampires, supernatural drama, romance and a ridiculously charming vampire like Lucifer...

The editing is questionable, the script definitely has its moments, the production feels extremely low-budget and I swear these people had approximately one outfit, three locations and a dream. BUT DESPITE ALL OF THAT, I actually enjoyed it so much!!

I mean, underneath all the questionable execution, there’s a genuinely interesting story here. If the plot had been properly developed, with a bigger budget, better pacing, stronger writing and more attention to the supernatural world, this could have been SUCH an amazing BL. And honestly, that’s what makes it frustrating. I could see the potential the entire time.

The story had so many elements that could’ve worked incredibly well, but everything felt a little rushed, underdeveloped or limited by the production. And I have to give them credit because they really did the most with what they had.

They had one outfit, questionable editing, a questionable script and a dream… and somehow they still managed to deliver something I genuinely had fun watching.

So funny hehe

I’m honestly still not sure if this was one of my favorites or not because I REALLY enjoyed it. I laughed so much and had a great time watching it, but I think the whole gaming aspect got in the way of me enjoying it even more.

The thing is… I know absolutely NOTHING about games and, honestly, it’s not really something I’m interested in either. So there were quite a few moments where I was completely lost. For people who actually enjoy gaming, though, I can totally see this being a 10/10. The series clearly knew what it was doing and explored its main theme really well, especially toward the end. The problem was just that I personally wasn’t the target audience for that part.

I also wish JackTen had been given more attention. I really liked them, but as a secondary couple, they felt underdeveloped. I think giving them more screen time would have been a great way to give the main couple a little breathing room.

I absolutely LOVED TheeSoh, and I adore MaxkyBas, but eventually I started feeling like we were getting a little too much of them. And honestly, I think their relationship would have been even more enjoyable if the story had balanced their screen time with JackTen a little better.

Overall I had SO much fun watching this. The gaming storyline just wasn’t really for me, but I can appreciate how well the series explored its central theme. I loved the main couple, laughed a lot, and definitely enjoyed the ride — I just wish the secondary couple had been developed more.

This was honestly just really cute ><

I didn’t have a lot to say about it, but I had a good time watching it. It’s sweet, easy to watch, and has that simple, cozy vibe that makes it perfect when you just want something light and fluffy.

Nothing particularly groundbreaking or unforgettable, but I liked the characters, enjoyed the romance, and overall it was just a really cute little watch.

OMG This was such a cute drama ><

BUT i have to say: I’m genuinely mad that they had THIS much chemistry and we only got one tiny kiss. ONE. Like… why would you give me a couple with this much chemistry and then refuse to actually do anything with it??? I would have enjoyed this so much more if they had just given us a few more romantic moments between them.

That said, I really liked the story itself. I especially loved the use of the thread concept! It’s such an interesting idea, and I feel like we rarely see dramas actually explore it, so it gave the story something different and special.

I do think some parts needed more development, especially Dawei’s family story. The whole thing with his father felt a little rushed, like they suddenly dropped this huge piece of information on us without giving it enough time to really have an impact.

But overall, I really enjoyed it, it's a really cute drama with an interesting concept and AMAZING chemistry that was criminally underused. It was sweet, interesting and had a really cute couple… who deserved WAY more screen time and more kisses LOL.

I WANT TO STAY FOREVER IN PHUSANGDAO FARM TOO TT TT TT

First of all, I REALLY need to stop hesitating so much before watching things on my watchlist because this is one of drama that I expected absolutely nothing from and ended up LOVING TT I mean, just from the title... I genuinely thought this was going to be absolute nonsense. But apparently, BLs set in small towns — especially when there’s a FARM involved — have my heart.

And WHAT was this plot??? We had rivalries over the tea industry, childhood best friends becoming enemies because of greed, unresolved tension, and then Saitharn and Sila getting involved while Saitharn thought he was the guy from the dating app haha That whole situation broke me.

AND THEN WE GOT KIDNAPPING. GUNS. SHOCKING PLOT TWISTS. LOTS OF ROMANCE. LIKE??? BICTH COME THE FUCK DOWN!!!!! I was genuinely gagged by some of the things happening here. The drama kept throwing new things at me and somehow I just kept going, “okay, what the hell is happening now?”

Is this an award-winning masterpiece? Absolutely not. But you know what? They tried. And I have to give them credit for that. The story actually had ambition, the twists kept me entertained, and I was way more invested than I ever expected to be.

It's a surprisingly fun and entertaining BL with a small-town setting, a farm, family drama, crime, mystery, romance and WAY more plot than I expected. I went in expecting a mess and came out genuinely impressed.

As a huge fan of the ABO universe, I REALLY enjoyed this one TT

The plot itself is honestly not the strongest, but watching it week by week made the experience so much more fun. I was constantly wondering what could or couldn’t happen next, and I loved seeing all the possibilities play out.

I also really liked how they explored different ABO categories instead of just sticking to the usual alpha/omega dynamic. Even the “pure omega” concept was included and actually given some attention, which I appreciated a lot.

And honestly, people complaining about the special effects and some of the more “ABO-looking” scenes (specially that nc scene iykyk) clearly have never read the amount of the og ABO fanfiction that existed on Wattpad/Spirit/AO3/tumblr and everywhere else around 2010/15. Those platforms were basically the Wild West back then.

My only real complaint is Saengnuea. I really wish the story had given him a proper ending, especially because he was treated as the “villain,” when I honestly think he was a victim too. First, he was manipulated by his own family into believing that the Devathitirats were responsible for destroying his family and making them poor, when it was actually his own father’s fault. Then Napitch took away his freedom and marked him against his will.

And THAT broke my heart because the one thing Saengnuea wanted more than anything was to never be marked by someone he didn’t love. He made terrible choices, yes, but I couldn’t stop feeling sorry for him.

That’s why I really wanted more of the aftermath. He was clearly struggling after the marking, and then suddenly three months pass and we barely get any idea of how he’s doing. Did he remain depressed? Did he eventually accept the mark? Did he and Napitch find some kind of peaceful way to coexist? I NEEDED ANSWERS!!!!

Okay… I’m not gonna lie, this drama is not very good... TT

The story is messy, the execution is poorly done, and a lot of things could have been developed much better BUT I also don’t think it deserves to be treated like it’s completely nonsensical.

The plot itself is actually pretty interesting, and if you pay attention, you can understand what’s happening and how everything connects. The problem is much more in the way the story was presented than in the idea itself.

You can tell they were trying to do something different here. There’s a lot of potential in the story, and with better writing, pacing and execution, I genuinely think it could have been much better.

And obviously… there’s Boom... With Boom Raveewit in the cast, I will watch basically anything. I have standards, and this man reached every single of them!!

Overall it's pretty messy with an poorly execution and it's definitely flawed, but not completely without a point. The concept was interesting, I could follow the story, and honestly… Boom was enough motivation to keep me watching hehe

"I'm your dad's friend, so what?!" *SCREAM INTERNALLY*

I honestly don't even know how to describe this one (in a good way tho)...

I devoured this drama because the more I watched, the more I needed to know what would happen in the next episode. The plot is genuinely engaging, the characters are funny and cute, and there's this chaotic energy that somehow keeps you hooked. Before I even realized it, I had finished the whole thing and was sitting there feeling EMPTY because I no longer had these idiots to follow TT

This drama is honestly a little hidden gem. It's like finding an ugly little oyster and realizing there's actually something beautiful inside — you just have to put in some work to get there. And for me, that effort was completely worth it.

I also really enjoyed the ending. BUT I can't lie, I would've preferred if young Kiew had stayed, but considering the reason he had to go back in time and everything that came with it, I didn't hate the ending.

Anyways, it's not a masterpiece by any means, not that well-written, BUT it's' incredibly entertaining. I really enjoyed and had fun watching them hehe

"Love in Life means the love story of my life. And now, my life is in love." *SCREAMING INTERNALY*

It’s such a cute and wholesome drama, and I really enjoyed the way the relationships developed throughout the story. The progression felt natural, and even though the character development was limited by what the plot allowed, I think they did a pretty good job with what they had.

The chemistry between the two main couples was definitely one of my favorite things, especially Kla and Cake. I was completely sold on them. They were so cute together, and their relationship was really enjoyable to watch.

My only real problem was the ending. Things got a little messy and confusing, especially with the time skip. They say three years have passed, but so little seems to have changed that I honestly felt like it had been three months instead LOL. I think the ending could have been handled a little better.

And then there was the post-credit scene... THE CIGARETTE SCENE.

Look, I personally hate the smell of cigarettes and obviously don't recommend smoking because it's terrible for your health. BUT I cannot deny that the scene was HOT AS HELL!!!!! The smoke, the way Cake blew it into the Kla's mouth, the way he held the cigarette between his thumb and index finger, the kiss, all the tension between them... ESCUSE ME?!?!?!?! This was waaaaay to sexy!!!!

I honestly have so many mixed feelings about this one...

I think I finally discovered something about myself: maybe I'm just not a huge fan of historical dramas set before the 1900s. BUT I don't even think the historical setting was the real problem here. If the story had been better developed, I probably wouldn't have found it nearly as exhausting.

The plot was SO tangled, and the further I got, the more it felt like the story was trying to do too many things at once without knowing how to connect them properly. And then we got that ending... honestly, what the hell was that?

BUT WHAT REALLY MADE ME MAD was the amount of screen time given to Sriprach and Thao Sri Chulalak. WHY???? You gave them basically a whole secondary storyline, took precious screen time away from Wad and Rit, AND THEY DON'T EVEN END UP TOGETHER????? THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I mean, Wad and Rit, and Pin and Yam, had so much potential, and I would've much rather seen their relationship developed instead of spending so much time on a storyline that ultimately went nowhere.

And that's probably what frustrates me the most about this drama: they had everything. The cast was talented, the premise had potential, there were genuinely interesting ideas here and still managed to waste it all.

I really enjoyed this one, they're so cute ><

It’s such a cute and easy watch. The story is simple, but in the best way — there’s enough going on to keep things interesting without drowning the romance in unnecessary drama.

I absolutely loved the two of them together. They were so cute, and watching their relationship slowly develop was honestly just really enjoyable. There is some drama, but nothing too heavy or exhausting, and I think that balance worked really well for the story.

I also really related to Mayama. His insecurity and the way he overthinks his feelings reminded me a lot of how I was as a teenager (and, honestly, how I still am). It made his character feel especially relatable to me.

Overall, it's pretty enjoyable, nothing overly complicated, or unnecessarily dramatic — just two cute people figuring out their feelings and making me smile along the way.

This was actually really fun!

It’s a pretty simple and light BL, but I had a genuinely good time watching it. The story isn’t anything super groundbreaking, but it has enough funny moments and cute interactions to keep things entertaining without becoming too heavy or complicated.

What I liked the most was how easy it was to watch. The comedy worked for me, the characters were fun to follow, and the romance had that cute, slightly chaotic energy that made me want to keep watching. It’s definitely one of those dramas you can put on when you just want to relax and have a good time.

Of course, there are moments where the story could've been developed a little better, and some things felt pretty predictable, but honestly, I wasn’t expecting some life-changing masterpiece from this. I was there to be entertained, and it did exactly that.

This was surprisingly really cute...

It’s nothing that completely blew me away or changed my life, but I had a genuinely good time with it. The story is simple, the romance is sweet, and overall it has that light and cozy feeling that makes it easy to watch.

I liked the characters and the way the relationship developed. It’s not the kind of romance that constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat, but there was enough going on to keep me interested, and I definitely had my cute little moments while watching hehe

The story does have its weaker points, and I wouldn’t say it’s particularly memorable compared to some other BLs, but honestly, I didn’t mind that much.

"...find it's home and endure in peace."

Okay… I’m going to be completely honest: I understood maybe half of this series LOL.

The plot was pretty confusing to me, and there were definitely moments where I had absolutely no idea what was going on. But I also have to admit that this might be partly my fault because at some point I just stopped paying attention to anything that wasn’t their "romance" hehe BUT I still enjoyed it!

I had already heard a few things about the novel before watching the series, and I was curious enough to give it a try. And I've tbh… if there’s a BL with a toxic romance, you can guarantee that I’m going to be watching. I don’t care if it’s amazing or questionable — toxic BL romances will ALWAYS have my attention LOL.

The story itself could definitely have been easier to follow, and I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had been more invested in the actual plot. But once I accepted that I was mostly here for Fei Foon and Leuk To, I just stopped fighting it and enjoyed the ride.

Honestly, I don’t even have that much to say or complain about this one because they were SO faithful to the original Make It Right from 2016 hehe

The basic story is basically the same: same conflicts, same characters, same character arcs, same environment… pretty much everything is still there.

And I actually really liked the small changes they made to modernize the story without completely changing what made the original work. The Book storyline is a good example. In the 2016 version, he has a leaked video, while in the 2026 version, it’s related to the account he had that is basically an OnlyFans-type situation. The problem itself is still pretty much the same, but the way they adapted it to the current era felt natural to me.

Book and Frame are still my favorites in this universe, so obviously I was VERY invested in their storyline.

And can we talk about Fuse and his girlfriend??? They really made us wait until episode 11 for him to finally end that relationship, only for HER to be the one who dumped him after giving him a proper ass-kicking. Meanwhile, in the 2016 version, we had to suffer through that doomed relationship for an entire season AND half of the second one because Fuse simply COULD NOT BREAK UP WITH HER.

WE WERE WARRIORS IN 2016 TT

Since I already love Make It Right seasons 1 and 2, it was honestly way too easy for me to enjoy this new version. Most of my complaints are basically the same ones I had with the original, because the new series stayed so close to it.

Overall I think it's a very faithful remake that managed to update the story without losing its original identity. If you already love the 2016 version as I did, I think it’s pretty easy to enjoy this one too. I loved seeing these characters and stories again, especially Book and Frame, and I’m really happy with how they adapted the original for 2026.

I actually enjoyed this one quite a lot!

I think the Korean version was MUCH better structured than the OG Thai version.

That being said… I still think I prefer the Thai version. Maybe it’s because I watched the original first when it was released and got attached to it, but there’s just something about that chaotic version that I still love. But honestly, I ended up liking both adaptations for completely different reasons.

The Korean version definitely feels more polished and better put together, though. The story flows better, the characters are easier to follow, and overall I think they did a really good job adapting the original premise into a Korean BL. And obviously, the cast helped A LOT.

Lee Sang Min is absolutely gorgeous, and those dimples??? EXCUSE ME???? I was not strong enough for that. And Park Chang Hoon… I swear this man looks strangely similar to Ji Chang Wook to me. Especially when his hair is down and wet, I was just sitting there like, “WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE JI CHANG WOOK RIGHT NOW???”

So yes, I was entertained by the story AND by the cast. Everybody wins.

Overall, I genuinely liked both, though, this Korean version is waaaaay much better-structured and definitely worth watching.

I really enjoyed this one!

Okay, I'm probably a little biased because it's MaxNat, and I genuinely love their chemistry. At this point, I'll probably watch anything with these two in it, so take that as you will LOL.

The plot itself is pretty basic and nothing particularly groundbreaking, but honestly, I had a really good time watching it.

What really made it fun was the characters, especially Max's character. He was easily one of my favorite parts of the series, and I found myself enjoying the story even more because of him. The chemistry between the leads also made everything more entertaining, which is always a huge plus for me.

Is it the most memorable or impressive BL out there? Probably not. But did I have fun watching it? Absolutely!

"You will FOREVER be my always." *crying my eyes out*

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO WATCH THIS???? TT TT

I kept putting this series off because I'd seen so many reviews saying the plot was bad and the timeline made no sense. Well, I don't know what show those people were watching, but I genuinely disagree. The timeline was perfectly understandable to me, and I had absolutely no trouble following the story.

Is the series flawless? Absolutely not. There are definitely things that could have been better, and the writing could have been more polished. It also feels like a production that could have benefited from a bigger budget. But calling it bad just because it has flaws? No, I can't agree with that.

The premise is genuinely good, and knowing that the story is based on real events makes it even more meaningful. What really got me, though, was the relationship between the leads. I'm not even a big friends-to-lovers person, so the fact that I fell in love with their story says A LOT. Their relationship felt beautiful enough to make me completely forget that this isn't usually my favorite trope. TT TT

AND THE PLOT TWISTS???? THE BROTHER REVEAL???? THE PLANE CRASH????? CAL DOWN PLEAAAAASE!!!! That plane crash news nearly took ME out. Phupha, PLEASE, CAN THIS MAN CATCH A BREAK FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE????? The poor guy just kept suffering, and I was genuinely worried about how things would turn out for him. Thank goodness everything worked out in the end because I don't think I could have handled anything else.

Honestly, this is exactly why I don't let negative reviews stop me from watching something. A series doesn't have to be perfectly written or have a huge budget to tell a beautiful story and make me emotionally invested in its characters.

It's okay...

I've to be honest, Lee Sangmin was the main reason I watched this, and I'm not even going to pretend otherwise. Sorry not sorry LOL.

The story had its moments, but I think my motivation for watching was pretty obvious from the beginning. I mean the hole experiment thing was kind of interesting, but it wasn't THAT interesting, Perhaps if better developed I'd liked more.
