Ranking 150+ BLs

• A comet is flying towards the earth - everyone will die in 10 days, at the library our lead runs into the man that broke his heart in college, they make a deal which leads them on a road trip
• One of the stars did one of my most hated performances in a jdrama, but he was quite good here and this directors work is usually void of any emotion, but i actually liked this
• I read the manga before and it is petty much a scene for scene, word for word adaptation which I appreciated
• It's definitely for adult audiences, the leads both do some pretty messed up stuff and there are a couple extremely graphic s*x scenes

• 4th Korean BL released 
• a boy can't see colours, but meets another boy who gives him the ability to see them
• these 2 were complete soulmates and it was so beautiful
• due to how short it was it was a little messy and I had an issue with the editing in one episode
• other than that i thought it was perfect, they had wonderful chemistry - koreas kinda great at bls 

• A boy gets into a car accident and swaps bodies with his sister - he has to team up with his ex-best friend to road trip to several shrines to reverse the swap
• Definitely not the best series ever BUT it was filled with EarthMix’s incredible natural chemistry and I LOVED every second of that
• The love these 2 characters felt was palpable and that’s completely down to EarthMix and why theyre one of my favourite gmmtv pairings
• The road trip element meant we really got to explore areas of Thailand (and their food) that we normally don’t see in Thai BLs

• A boy admitted his feelings to another boy the day before he moves to another country - they meet again a couple years later at university
• This was cute - it was a fun binge watch - i probably wouldn't have liked it so much if I watched it as it aired
• The actors had really good chemistry - nice to Joong in another good pairing - he seems to have fabulous chemistry with all his partners
• It was cheesy and cliched, but as I said - fun - I'm looking forward to seeing JoongDunk in another (hopefully better) series 

• A continuation of their story in the first series
• i was so happy to spend more time with these interesting characters and it was so fun
• i liked the glimpse we got of their life together and relationship
• nothing really happens - only a bit of growth in the last episode, but it was still very cuteand messy like the first series

• A beautiful, cheesy, sometimes cringey but always adorable socially distanced BL
• a livestream gamer and their fan meet online in lockdown
• the main couple are seriously cute (even though almost all their interactions are over video call)
• so surreal to see a drama embrace covid like this, but this one did it in a seriously smart and respectful way

• After getting together in series 1 jiwoo leaves with no explanation 
• this was still fantastic and filled with emotion
• the leads chemistry is still 10/10
• but I really couldn‘t understand the motivations of one of the characters - I’ve read so many deep dive introspective fan essays and i just don’t get it - definitely my least fave work of Hwang Da Seul- but its still great

• a man realises he's living as an extra in a BL he's gonna make sure he doesn't fall in love
• this was HILARIOUS - they gave us every single BL cliche ever 
• the lead actor was brilliant so funny and melodramatic - I also loved him in the intro song
• I really loved the leads cute romance but I wish they'd sprinkled it in throughout the drama not just the final episode

• 2 boys walk into each other when they're 17 and spend the next 15 years in love
• this one was so sweet and then so painful
• yuki is my son and i would die for him
• gave it an extra star cause it gave History3 MODC an alternate happy ending

• Yashiro confesses to and is then rejected by his best friend, he makes a wish to turn intoa girl to be his best friends type
• This is a lot darker and more depressing than the whimsical plot makes it seem
• A really interesting cast of characters and I loved the tiny glimpse we got of our leads relationship - I was sad we only got 1 ep of them in their real bodies falling in love before they were separated again
• i really thought this was going to be one of my new all time favourites, butI didn’t love it as much as I thought I would - still it’s a beautiful drama

Didn’t watch one of the main couples storyline

• Boy gets a makeover to get his crushes attention, but his competitor keeps getting in the way
• This was very very cute and definitely way above average
• so glad I watched it but that being said all the cliches made this a little forgettable in comparison to gmmtv dramas like 1000 stars
• Mix looked so adorable the whole way through which made my heart happy

• BL couple are one of the 4 couples this drama follows
• you see how of Pete and Kao came to be (hint: it’s hate to love)
• 2nd drama in the Kiss series, its a prequel and my favourite of the 3 seasons, but watch it after ’Kiss: The Series’ and before ‘Dark Blue Kiss’
• Very tame and family friendly as most GMMTV BLs are 

• 6th Korean BL
• A dancer in debt and his debtor spend time together and fall in love
• The first half I really didn't get all the love, but the second half is wow
• kinda earned its R-rating (by kdrama standards)
• It was incredibly sweet - at the end I teared up 

• lovers from a past life reborn, so get the tissues
• great actors and in my opinion improved direction since Love By Chance
• really enjoyable and compelling first half, second half the constant crying was a bit too much and was so often it didn’t affect me anymore
• another really cute side couple who I wish got more screen time,  second season anyone?

• Boy moves to Seoul and catches the eye of 2 restaurant owners
• The chemistry in this was incredible and there were some fantastic scenes with the leads
• It was a really simple story but a fun quick watch
• Wanted the second couple to be a thing even more than the mains, but sadly no…

• Q boy sees X as his biggest rival, X bets Q that he can’t get this popular girl to ask him out (hint thers a secret crush and lots of bickering)
• this is the definition of a hidden gem, it flew under everyones radar but it’s so cute
• The leads had a really fun dynamic and I loved that there was a mature queer character advising the younger characters here
• Theres no kiss, but it doesn’t really need one

• A rich boy is cut off by his father forced to work at his fathers company - so he moves into a flat with a landlord - the landlord later realises his annoying, spoiled tenant is his new boss
• This has the same leads as Kissable Lips, which i didn't really like, but this was a MILLION times better
• These 2 leads have good chemistry and a super comfortable with each other probably as it's their second project together
• It's a really simple opposites attract story, with thrown in forced proximity - its only 8 episodes so a simple story works well

• A dentist and a man who has childhood trauma about going to the dentist meet and feeling start to form
• I am usually a HUGE fan of this writers work - she's responsible for so many of my Taiwanese favourites but the writing  here didn't work for me at all and the leads lacked chemistry (but had some cute moments once in a relationship)
•  I was constantly so confused where these leads stood with each other - i didn't even know one lead considered himself to be straight until halfway through the drama 
• The second couple were so so cute though - the moody bar manager training the 19yr old who has a huge crush on him- they were my favourite part but sadly barely had any screen time 

• 2 guys in the same work/friend group don‘t get along due to their different views on sex/love, but they enter a no strings attached relationship
• This was one of my most anticipated dramas for such a long time and it was just a big, messy let down - feels like wasted potential 
• the leads chemistry was fire though and they really really went for it with their love scenes and romantic scenes - also Yim was so funny and brilliant that he stole every scene he was in even as just a side character- I need his characters series NOW
• I think partially this series didn’t work for me due to the filming issues which aren’t the productions fault - I think they needed Yim’s characters story first so that they could build the relationship between our leads here, but because they couldn’t this felt so busy, messy and rushed at the beginning, then slow and boring at the end

• At this school when the eclipse comes terrible things happen to trouble making students - this is where a troublemaker and a school prefect fall in love
• I have loved the 2 leads of this series for years and I was glad to see them partnered up here and so many fans agree - they looove this series and Khaotung and First
• I've found that this director doesn't really work for me - It was meant to explore thai society and the messed up justice system on the micro scale of a school setting, which works in theory, but I found it kinda stupid when fully realised in live action- don't kill me!
• sidenote: I really hope the leads aren't typecast as this dynamic - I really want to see First play a bad boy like he has previously, but I'm afraid he'll always play the innocent straightlaced guy, because Khoatuing suits the "badboy" aesthetic

• It‘s messy: the leads kind of drug each other and then film them sleeping together to blackmail each other
• Firstly the theme song for this is INCREDIBLE - I’m obsessed
• I thinkthis leads had good chemistry, they gave these roles their 100% and it had a way better production quality than I would’ve expected
• But it was marketed as this epic hatred to love romance, but it felt like they argued for 1 episode and then fell in love, they were cute but I wanted more toxicity from that synopsis 

• Man’s first love dies, in his next life he finds her, but she dies again, third life her finds her again, but she’s a man in this life
• I liked this concept and the couple were very cute and had good chemistry 
• they seemed to fall in love really quick, but I still really liked them
• i think the drama confused itself by the end, characters were acting weird and some completely out of character for convenience 

• Hong Kong adaptation of a jdrama - and my first HKdrama
• A guy finds out his boss and coworker both have crushes on him 
• It's silly and a lot of fun, I didn't like the little I saw of the jdrama, but this was so much better - a lot more toned down
• the lead was fabulous - so funny. the lead couple were extremely underdeveloped though, I'd go as far as to say this  drama isn't their love story so don't expect good romance

• A film director meet again after unexpectedly parting in university 
• i liked this more than most people I loved the locations and the dynamic of the leads: grumpy and adorable puppy
• The last episode felt  little unnecessary and wasted - also there were some big mistakes- microphones clearly left in shots
• Warning: it ends with 3 “dead fish” kisses - if those bother you -avoid this drama

• Surprisingly good
• guy and gf going through some difficulties and hE gets closer to his junior 
• I like the have a gf trope in BLs so I enjoyed it
• it was pretty mediocre but I’m trash so I liked it.

• Big cast - everyone couples up
• took a few episodes to get good
• Thara is the best character (tharafrong and ramaking endgames please) 

• A man in the 1930's is set to take over his fathers business empire, but he will lose it all if his secret comes out: he's gay (btw the lead was way too nice and self sacrificing)
• This is the first proper lakorn where the lead character is gay - it was on a big channel and had extremely high ratings of all ages watched it in Thailand
• It's almost too much of a lakorn for me - the constant backstabbing, spying and secrets between the family - very traditional lakorns aren't my thing for that reason anyway
• The couple were actually quite sweet with good chemistry - its rich man/poor boy, but then poor boys sent to kill rich boy, but falls in love instead

• 2 best friends one cold and closed off, the other an unlucky in love puppy, start to see each other in a new light
• the lead relationship alone was a 9/10 they are so cute but the second couple were too problematic for me to not rate this the whole drama down 
• warning: second couples story involves rape (which is romanticized) and so so much manipulation (I skipped the majority of their storyline after that)
• Also I didn't appreciate all the MODC references cause it just made me cry knowing my fave is dead

• lots of people consider this the best bl of 2020 - definitely one of the healthiest 
• but I found a lot of the show quite slow 
•  I didn’t connect with any of the characters and found a lot of what they said cliched - it left me without an emotional connection to the series - also the ending confused me
• It also suffered from it airing at the same time as one of my all time favourite dramas (ITSAY) - although they aren’t similar I couldn‘t help but compare them - sorry! 

• a man travels back in time 15 years to meet the man who saved his life when he was 10
• this was surprisingly good, but felt too short - like all KBLs - they fell for eachother too quickly for me
• i thought the leads had a. good connection and I enjoyed the time travel aspect
• Lots of people hated the ending, but I thought it was pretty obvious - so I was prepared and able to enjoy it 

• A talented chef who doesn't allow alcohol at his restaurant and a boy who loves to drink start to work together and feelings come to fruition
• The middle 4 episodes of this drama are so so good - the chemistry is great and its so fun to watch these 2 leads bond and to learn about the drinking culture in South Korea
• The first 2 and last 2 episodes of this drama really let it down - the first 2 are way too slow and the last 2 focus on unnecessary drama and the leads building chemistry kinda fizzles out to nothing
• I did have fun with this drama and would recommend it still - I think its got a far worse reputation that it deserves - its just a standard kbl, with a standard atrocious kbl kiss

• An author is sent to the sea to write, whilst there he meets a charming island boy
• i loved how this started everything on the island was so fun
• we really didn’t need all the bangkok drama which was so tiring and overdone
•  FortPeats chemistry was HOT

• A Korean BL - I’m honestly shocked
• hitman and gangster start dating 
• this was dramatic but still had sweet moments
• i didnt love it - I don’t know why I didn’t, bit it’s still good

• One boy hides his true personality from his fiance
• I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYTHING IN THIS DRAMA HAPPENED!!! The first and second couples stories didn't make sense!
• the leads had great chemistry, it definitely had money and it was pretty to look at, if youcan ignore that it makes zero sense and just enjoy fluff it’s great
• the third couple were EVERYTHING and need their own series - adorable innocent Buddhist and flirty bad boy go from enemies to lovers - yaaas - shame they had 1 scene per episode

• Forced cohabitation, workplace romance, hate to love, this has all the tropes
• This started out incredible but ended up being so slow I lost almost all interest
• Also I never really got any of the work storyline so I kinda didn't pay proper attention to those scenes
• BUT i am madly in love with one of the leads, his dimples brought me so much joy every week

• a bit of a mess, there are 2 main couples, 3 side BL couples and 2 straight couples and SO badly edited (multiple times there’s been a black screen for a couple seconds in the middle of a scene)
• Apparently 2 main couples, but the cutest couple get side lined for the other one (I swear I’m not bitter)
• The other main couple have good chemistry, lots of sexual scenes which aren’t my thing but might be yours 
• because of the corona virus my favourite couples storyline will be incomplete until they can shoot a special episode

• I didn't want to watch TharnType2 but want to watch Leo and Fiats new series so this was perfect
• tells the story of 2 boys who are best friends both in love with each other but wont admit it
• its too short for me to rate it higher but if it was longer I'd have loved it they have this obsession with each other I love in my couples
• Not seen a character as promiscuous as Fiat before in a BL but the reasons he gave were interesting and the angle was new and different

• Guy takes over his mums boarding house, he hast 4 tenants and it’s all their stories
• it was fun and simple
•  I wish we spent more time with the leads they had great chemistry and in scenes with just them their dynamic was adorable 
• too much attention on the second couple I ended up skipping their scenes, as well as the jealous second male lead who was more annoying and unnecessary than sympathetic

• a wedding planner and a groom meet and start to fall in love
• this plot sounded so fun and messy and I was so excited for it but this drama ended up being so *yawn*
• the leads fell in love so quickly - basically at first sight which is not my thing and it meant that the misunderstandings took twice as long as they needed fill the plot
• there were episodes in this where I thought it was actually getting good, but then I’d be disappointed the next episode- Mames dramas are never incredible, but I feel like they always have stars with insane chemistry to fall back on, but I felt this leads chemistry in this was just fine, nothing special.

• 2 guys are the best at a makeup store with the best skills and sales
• They get together in episode 2 and I don’t even remember what happened after
• It wasn’t anything special - not much chemistry and a pretty dull plot

• 2 musicians meet fall in love and make music together
• the acting and chemistry and music are good
• but the leads really don’t spend enough time together to justify to the audience how important their relationship is
• third Korean BL this year and worst of the 3 by far

• 2 boys become step bothers, one of thems an idol and their forced to cohabit
• its really quite simple, sweet and pure
• The only story I could actually get through of the first year of HIStory

• Very very short and very sweet
• we get 3 BL love stories, one for each brother
• (spoiler: dont worry there isn’t any incest)

• 2 best friends get drunk and sleep with eachother
• prequel to Bad Romance, but you don’t need to watch that first
• the second BL I ever watched...so probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much now 
• lead the way for Thai BLs not being about school boys and so it  was...steamy

• murders start occurring a doctor and teacher team up to solve the case, can they trust each other?
• Max and Tul didn't work for me in this drama, I felt zero chemistry & I found Tuls acting to be really poor
• The mystery was pretty good - I was surprised
• the side couple were adorable, loved the hot policeman and I loved seeing MD since he was my fave in My Engineer

• After appearing as side couples twice Pete and Kao are now are leads
• the third and most likely Last series in the Kiss series
• it’s a really annoying jealousy storyline thats saved by the leads chemistry
• theres a side BL couple which fans LOVE, I wasn’t as obsessed, but they were cute 

• I’m just not a fan of this story or the style of comedy

• A gangster and a naive uni student get close whilst playing on online game - but then they meet and fall in love irl

• Started quite positively- not enough money to be as awesome as it could of been, but then it lost the plot and fell apart

• A boy asks another to teach him guitar and its very Japanese, its got all the typical overacting and shouting
• This was just alright, there was nothing wrong with it but most people agree its just fine
• I feel the same about all this directors work though, he just never makes stuff I'm obsessed with
• Also heartbroken we didn't get more side-couple development, I LOVED their potential

• Pat starts a new job his boss immediately likes him, but must hide his feelings
• this started off so cute with pretty good chemistry
• but oh my goodness this was so bloody looong - there was so much unnecessary drama I was so fed up by the end 

• Man who likes to eat naked is spotted when he moves to country
• This plot was so funny I initially enjoyed this but it god old surprisingly quickly
• Also there was less than zero chemistry here - one of the leads necker has great chemisery with his pairings

• At school 2 opposite boys fall I’m love
• I’ve seen this done so many times and this is the worst it’s been done 
• the chemistry wasn't there and the acting felt weird - I like japanese overacting - but this wasnt that - it just felt off

• its 2 very different boys learning they’re more similar than they thought

• as a bi person the bi erasure that the lead was pushing was difficult to watch

• its about the hazing rituals of the engineering program in Thai universities

• a player wakes up in a parallel world and falls in love with a boy there
• this could’ve been good but it was told so confusingly - I was so lost and bored most of the time - a waste of OhmFlukes chemistry
• its the same director as The Eclipse and I also didn’t like how that was told - so I don’t think I’m a fan of her style
• BUT it was so nice to see Ohm play such a smiley character- it felt like he was having so much fun
  
  

• 2 boys were childhood best friends but got separated, ones always had a crush on the other
• This was so problematic and the leads said and did some not okay things
• I'm happy Khaotung was finally the lead and Mike and Toptap were adorable
• Neo played one of my all time favourite characters - pansexual adorable king!

• Love story between a manhwa artist and his new assistant

• A vampire is about to die the only way he can survive is drinking the blood of a pure blood human, but he must make the human fall in love with him first 
• if it was just that summary this would be brilliant but it got so convoluted and confusing so quickly
• It was insta love which is not my jam
• also there was a whole plot point with a brother that was a waste of time
• I was so over this by the end I didn’t really focus on the last episode and don’t know howit ended 

• Two boys have a secret that tore their friendship apart yers ago
• i have a soft spot for this one- it’s my first BL I completed
• BUT this is bad, it clearly had zero money, you can’t hear some scenes and they skip big plot points assuming you’ve read the book
•  the only really good thing is our leads chemistry and they’re in 2gether so just watch that

• The leads meet and have a hate/love relationship spanning high school and university
• the highschool portion was horribly boring and nonsensical and it’s over half the drama
• the leads have zero chemistry or charisma and left me annoyed and uncomfortable 
• The side couple were really adorable and had some important conversations but they were introduced only in the second half - they were how I managed to finish this

• A car racer and his fan start sleeping together, but there are alphas and powers and stuff

•  my stars here are solely for the actor of the senpai - he was so charismatic and I really enjoyed his character

• this is set after the events of Together With Me, but was made before - you don’t have to watch it and I probably wouldn’t...
• The BL couple are a side story in this
• its a jealousy plot line, I HATE jealousy plot lines if they’re just there to destroy a relationship, rather than build anything

• i really wanted the 2 judo fighters to end up together and found the school friend a jerk who ended up messing with the lead more than anything
• this is seriously low budget, ridiculously low, and if I liked the mains love story I may’ve given it a higher rating, but the couple I liked shard 5 mins on screen over the whole series
