301. Love Love You
Thai Movie - 2015
This was the sequel to the film Loves Coming, which I also didn’t particularly like, but I will definitely admit that this one was much better than the first, mainly due to the much-needed change in cast (and the fact that Gun Atthaphan was in this!). This is about two boys called Gump and Nai who have been in a relationship for a year, but when Gump has to move in with another boy for university called Sunz, and Nai’s old friend Bon returns, tensions fly between them. After Nai does something bad to Gump, what will it take for Gump to forgive him? I only watched this movie because Gun was in it, who is such an amazing actor. The actors were good, but the movie was nothing special, and the chemistry wasn’t there at all. The ending scene was the worst thing I had ever watched, and I don’t know how people managed to find it cute. I don’t think I will ever rewatch this one, and I don’t recommend this at all.

302. TharnType Season 2: 7 Years of Love
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Honestly speaking, I’m really disappointed with this season. I came into this not knowing what to expect, but even my expectations were better than whatever this season was trying to do. This series looks at 7 years after the events of TharnType the series, as Tharn and Type are both working and building their careers while still living together. This season focuses on the ups and downs of their relationship with Type’s abusive, overbearing boss and a stalker determined to make Type fall in love with him. Will their relationship still persevere even with all these different challenges determined to drive a wedge between the two? Honestly, in season 1 I didn’t particularly like Type; however, those feelings switched to Tharn this season with how unreasonable he was the whole time. I’m still very disappointed with this season; the acting, cinematography, and chemistry were the highlights of this series, but the ridiculous and overused cheating/toxic relationship plot ruined any hope I had for this. I’m just kind of done with the TharnType universe now, lmao. I don’t recommend this sequel at all, but if you decide to watch it anyway, then I hope you enjoy it more than I did.

303. Twins
Korean Movie - 2024
I watched this because Changkyu was here, and I wanted to support his work after loving him in His Man 1, but it had such a weird plot that I didn’t really enjoy it. This is a short film only 11 minutes long that features a boy named Changkyu who had recently broken up with his boyfriend, Seo Taewoong, because he didn’t want a long-distance relationship. One night he is looking through a dating app and finds his ex on there; he ends up messaging and meeting up for a hookup, only to find out the person he slept with is not his ex but his ex’s identical twin brother. Both twins end up pursuing Changkyu, and now he has to make a decision about which of the two brothers he wants to be with. The end of this features a really weird plot twist that is honestly pretty stupid; it’s kind of like the plot that a 13-year-old would post on AO3 lmao. The acting wasn’t awful, but there was pretty much no chemistry due to its short run time. Overall, unless you’re a fan of Changkyu’s and want to support him here, I personally don’t recommend this at all.

304. Slam Dance
Thai Drama - 2017, 13 episodes
This is another series that isn’t actually a BL, but there is a gay side couple, and even though they barely have any moments, they were so cute that I really wanted to include them in this list. I’ll only mention the BL couple for this review since this is generally a straight drama. This series focuses on Nucknick and Pob, who are both on the school wrestling team. Throughout their story, we are taken through the journey of how they fight and how they fall in love. Of course the kissing scene was the highlight of the series for me, lmao. I think this might be worth watching just the PobNick cut version, but other than that, they barely had any moments together, so it’s not really worth watching the entire series just for them. The acting was good in some areas, poor in others. The series itself wasn’t the best, so unless you’re checking out only the PobNick scenes, I wouldn’t bother watching this one.

305. Irresistible Love 2
Chinese Movie - 2016
This is the second film for Irresistible Love, and in my opinion, it was just as bad as the first. In this film, Xie Yan realises that he loves Shu Nian, but Shu Nian continues to hide from him. Meanwhile, Ke Luo creates a ruckus in the company’s dinner organised by Xie’s Holdings but is saved by Shu Nian for the second time. Xie Yan is then sent overseas for a project, and Shu Nian and Ke Luo get closer after celebrating Ke Luo’s birthday. Eventually, Ke Luo confessed his feelings to Shu Nian, but the latter’s heart is still with Xie Yan. Xie Yan later breaks up with Jiang Yao, which has an impact on his future fiancé, Xia Jun. Xia Jun uses her crafty ideas to get to Xie Yan, but later Xie Yan tells Xia Jun that he has already found a new lover and that the person is Shu Nian. Soon, Jiang Yao, who is unable to deal with breaking up with Xie Yan, hires some men to rape Shu Nian, but Xie Yan saves him just in time. Later, Xia Jun contracts food poisoning and is sent to the hospital. Shu Nian is then fired by Xie Yan's father after confessing to Xie Yan that he was the one who poisoned her. In the end, the medical report is produced, showing that Xia Jun’s food poisoning is due to the three cups of mocha that she had drunk hours before she was about to meet Shu Nian. Will Xie Yan choose to follow after Shu Nian and make up with him in time, or will he let him go and find his freedom elsewhere? Honestly, you may enjoy and love these films, but I thought they were really bad. There are two alternate endings, a happy ending and a sadder one, but neither are that great, which was why I didn’t like it. Because of this, I don’t recommend either of these films at all.

306. 'Cause You're My Boy
Thai Drama - 2018, 12 episodes
This had the potential to be a great BL, but there was something about it that completely set it back for me. This is about a boy called Mork who sells porn DVDs in his father’s barber shop. One day a boy called Tee comes in for a haircut, but Mork’s father has to leave halfway through his haircut, so Mork tries to finish it and completely ruins his hair. This makes Tee angry, and they begin fighting and trying to get revenge on each other until one day when Mork gives Tee gay porn DVDs in front of his girlfriend and claims he bought them, which results in his girlfriend Bambi and most of the school believing that Tee is gay, and Bambi breaks up with Tee. Mork is told to take responsibility for his actions and pretend to be his boyfriend to make Bambi jealous. But during their fake relationship, they begin to develop real feelings for each other. This was pretty cute at first, but there were so many plot holes, and it had too many twists and random scenes that didn’t even need to be there or make any sense, which just made it even more confusing. It was good up until episode 4, then it all went downhill very quickly. You could try giving it a go if you want, but don’t expect much; I would just stick to reading the novel, as the novel was just incredible! Sorry to DrakeFrank, I loved the ship, but they really were given the worst scripts with GMMTV.

307. Water Boyy
Thai Drama - 2017, 14 episodes
This one has had a mix of ratings, some good and some bad. I personally thought it was pretty bad, and I ended up being incredibly disappointed with the direction they chose to take. This is a series about a boy called Waii, who is the captain and very popular member of the swimming club whose father is the coach of the team. One day a boy called Apo joins the team and becomes roommates with Waii. We can slowly see the attraction forming between them, but the problem is, Waii has a girlfriend. We also have Pan, who is openly lesbian and the only female on the team, and she begins to develop a crush on a girl called Namkhaeng, who turns out to be the best friend and crush of their newest teammate, Fah. There is also a boy from the track team called Min, who has a crush on a girl from the cat club and the student council called Wan. Also, we have my favourite side couple in the series, a boy called Kluay, who is a member of the swimming club, and Achi, who is a fanboy of Waii’s. This series had its ups and downs, with limited moments between all the couples, and the ending wasn’t great. I’m devastated that we finally had lesbian representation in a drama, only for her to change her mind and end up dating a man. The erasure of lesbian characters in older BL’s really pisses me off, which is partly why I hated this series so much. I hope one day Achi and Kluay could get their own series, as they were the best couple in the series by far! But aside from them, I didn’t like any of the other couples and don’t recommend this series at all.

308. Top Secret Together
Thai Drama - 2021, 15 episodes
I’m so disappointed with this series; I had really high hopes due to some of the cast members, and it really let me down. This was set mainly in an office with several students interning for a company and in a school with students studying various different subjects. This features five different couples, each with different stories and backgrounds. Simai (a student and intern at the company) and Lukmo (supervisor at the company), Phob and MaiEak (both students and interns at the company), Nampu and Copy (both university students), Newyear and Both (acting as themselves, Both as a dentist with him and Newyear running a cafe together), and finally Plawaan (a basketball player) and Suer (a high school student). I was originally so excited about this after discovering Newyear and Both would be a couple in this series, which was absolutely amazing as (at the time) they were actually a couple in real life, making this the first Thai BL with a real gay couple playing a couple in a series together. However, while they were the best part of this series, their moments were very short and not nearly enough to save the rest of the series from being a complete disaster. I’m very disappointed with this series and probably won’t recommend it, adding this on due to the recent news that came out, but especially after Newyear and Both ended their engagement and broke up.

309. Tonhon Chonlatee
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Wow, that was a huge disappointment. This series is about Chonlatee, a shy but kindhearted boy who secretly has had a crush on Tonhon, the guy next door, since he was a kid. Ton has always taken care of him as if they were real brothers, but Chonlatee can only watch Ton and his girlfriend from afar. That is until Ton updates his status to single and returns home. After the two end up reconnecting, their closeness starts to change into a deeper bond. Ton starts to get confused about his feelings, his mouth saying that he only sees Chonlatee as a brother, but when Chonlatee begins (fake) dating someone else, he feels insecure and jealous. He can‘t help being possessive and worried about Chonlatee. Meanwhile, his ex-girlfriend, Amp, returns to complicate things after, despite her cheating, deciding to make Ton hers again. Then Tonhon’s father is introduced as a homophobic, sexist, and misogynistic man who keeps hounding Tonhon and his sister to have children so he can have an heir. Can Chonlatee’s love ever be reciprocated when it seems as though everything is keeping them apart? I’m just going to put this out there. This is GMMTV’s worst BL they’ve released, and I’m so pissed because even Mike and Toptap couldn’t save this for me. They literally decided to pull the greatest cast together for the worst series they could possibly produce. And yes, I know it could have been worse, but this had so much potential that they quickly ruined. The acting was great, and the chemistry could have been great too. I’m very disappointed and will never recommend or rewatch this series.

310. Yandai Byway No.10
Chinese Drama - 2016, 10 episodes
I’m honestly shocked that other people liked this series so much; it started so well but fell completely flat for me. This is about a pet shop owner called Hang Hang, and a writer called Liang Ze, who owns two chinchillas. One day Liang Ze takes his chinchillas to the vets for a checkup when he meets Hang Hang; the two hit it off immediately and feel a strong attraction for each other. Eventually they confront their feelings and become a couple. However, Hang Hang soon begins feeling uncomfortable around him due to their new relationship status and breaks off their relationship suddenly. Will Liang Ze fight for his love, or accept Hang Hang’s decision and allow them to go their own separate ways? I was so disappointed, especially considering the amazing beginning, but I wouldn’t recommend this very highly because halfway through it just went quickly downhill. The acting was great, and at first the chemistry wasn’t also pretty good, but that’s about all the positive things I can say. There are many better series out there, so I wouldn’t bother with this series.

311. Love by Chance Season 2: A Chance to Love
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
I genuinely don’t understand why they even bothered making a season 2. I’m very disappointed to say that I didn’t like this sequel at all. This is almost like a retelling of Love By Chance, with some couples starting right from the beginning, then other couples continuing after the events of the first, and other couples disappearing from the horizon. In this season, Ae is heartbroken after he and Pete broke up due to Pete studying abroad. Meanwhile, Tin and Can meet for the first time, and we explore the journey of them falling in love (AGAIN!!) but differently from season 1. At the same time, Techno and Kla continued on from where their story left off in the first season. Finally the TumTar couple vanished into the horizon; not kidding, they decided to completely get rid of their love story and gave them barely any scenes. I’m really sad at how this turned out after how iconic season 1 was; it had so much potential and could have been so much better if they had given it a chance. Please take my advice and stick with season 1; don’t even bother with this; it’s so bad it’s actually funny. The only good things were the acting and (kind of) the chemistry; the plot was so badly done that I recommend avoiding this sequel entirely.

312. Love's Coming
Thai Movie - 2014
Some people recommended this movie to me and said that this was supposed to be really good, but I ended up skipping more than half of it because I got too bored to keep going. This movie is about a boy called Gump who is in love with his neighbour Nai. At the same time, all his friends are suspecting that Gump and Nai are secretly dating and are all trying to get him to admit that he is gay. How long before Gump finally gives in, admits his sexuality, and confesses to Nai? It’s such a cringeworthy movie, and I honestly didn’t enjoy it. I preferred the sequel Love Love You much more, though even that still wasn’t particularly good either. The acting, chemistry, and plot all were pretty bad and boring to watch. Some people have said that they enjoyed it, so you could try it out, but I couldn’t get over the cringiness of it, so I won’t recommend this one at all.
-
313. I Am Your King
Thai Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
I was so disappointed with this series. The only reason I watched it is for Newyear because I was excited to see an openly gay actor playing a gay character, as that’s something we don’t get to see often. This series is about six boys who one day get together and decide to play the king game. This is a card game that has one rule: the holder of the king card can command anyone to do anything they choose to make them do. However, in only one night, all six friends face life-changing decisions that will change their friendship and romantic lives forever. I honestly didn’t enjoy this and at first dropped it, but I powered through because of Newyear. If he wasn’t in this, I would have dropped it long ago because honestly, it’s not a good series at all. It’s boring, the acting is pretty bad, and the chemistry is also not the best. There are so many better school-themed BL’s out there to watch instead of this one, so I recommend avoiding this and watching something else.
-
314. Grounded
Taiwanese Movie - 2018
This was a short film that was only 15 minutes long but honestly ended up being kind of boring. This is about two boys, Kai Chang and Hao Tsai, who are friends that are stuck in a circle. They have feelings for each other but refuse to acknowledge it. The cinematography is beautiful, and so were the landscapes, but while I understood the concept and what they were trying to achieve, it was really boring for me and didn’t really lead anywhere, so there’s little I can really say about it. As it’s only 15 minutes, you could try watching it if you’re interested, but I don’t recommend it at all.

315. What the Duck
Thai Drama - 2018, 20 episodes
This series is probably the most hated BL series that’s ever been released; honestly, I get it completely. I don't think it was as awful as season 2 was, but this is NOT a good series. This is about a boy named Pop that starts working for an airport catering company after failing his dream of becoming a flight attendant. There he meets a boy called Oak, who begins flirting with him and calling him names such as “Wife.”. Meanwhile, Pop’s girlfriend Mo, who has just started working as a flight attendant, is bullied badly by her coworkers. We also meet her brother Pree and his boyfriend Rambo, who were very happy together, until Rambo’s father forced him into an arranged marriage. How will the lives and relationships of them all turn out in the end? I think that this series started off okay, but there were a lot of moments that really irritated me, as well as some scenes that didn’t make a lot of sense or weren’t really needed. This series is a lot more intense and intimate than any other BL I had seen at this time, with a few serious sex scenes that felt very funny but realistic. There are so many tears and crying scenes; it gets to the point where it just starts to become rather annoying. Overall, it’s much better than it second season ended up being, but it’s definitely not worth your time! If you don’t believe me, just check how bad the rating is, and that’ll tell you all you need to know lmao.

316. HIStory: My Hero
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
This is definitely my least favourite BL from the HIStory series, and I don’t even know if I would consider this a proper BL! It stands as yet another reason why I absolutely hate body swap BL’s where two people of different genders switch bodies. This series is about a girl called Lan Xi who dies, but her soul is put into the body of another man. She is given 7 days to make her old boyfriend, Ying Xiong, fall back in love with her (now him). Can she manage this, and will the person Ying Xiong falls for really be her trapped in a man’s body, or for the original owner of the body? It was so weird, and the first part was just confusing. It’s a body swap, but unless you actually read the plot description, it’s quite complicated to understand what is happening at the start. It got a little better towards the end, but I can’t even say this series was good. The acting was mediocre, chemistry was pretty nonexistent, and the plot was confusing. I was very disappointed by and won’t ever be rewatching this, which is why I really don’t recommend this series at all. If you like the HIStory series, this is the only one you should stay away from, in my opinion; the rest are great, but this is the bad outlier.
-
317. Playboy (and the Gang of Cherry)
Thai Movie - 2017
This is the weirdest and stupidest movie I’ve ever seen; I don’t know how I managed to finish it. This is about the Cherry Gang, a gay mafia of prostitutes (that’s the weirdest sentence I have ever written lmao). One of the members is Mac, otherwise known as “playboy” with an addiction to SM sex. When a shipment of drugs disappears, the gang will stop at nothing to retrieve it, no matter who they have to kill to get there. I really didn’t enjoy this at all, so I would NOT recommend it. There are definitely better movies out there focused on BDSM dynamics; honestly, the only reason I watched this is because I found out Gun Atthaphan was in this, but even he couldn’t make up for the shit show that was this movie. The acting was awful; it’s obviously very low budget and all just unrealistic and stupid. I have no good things to say about this, and I regret ever watching it. Do yourself a favour and stay far away from this film.

318. What the Duck Season 2: Final Call
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
So, if I thought the first season of this show was pretty bad overall, then this season was downright horrendous. This has been and will be the only BL series where the only couple I was rooting for was the straight couple. This is a continuation from where the first season ends, and unfortunately, everything goes very downhill from there for pretty much every character and couple. All the relationships were ruined; there was a very unnecessary plot twist, sexual abuse, drugging someone without their knowledge or consent, possible rape, violence, kidnapping someone and locking them in their basement, incest, and even more. The only good thing that came out of this show was Mo getting the happiness she deserves! Other than that, I would not recommend this season at all; if you decide to watch it, then don’t have any expectations and don’t watch it thinking I’m over-exaggerating or that it can’t possibly be that bad. The scenes that were actually good, and one of the relationships I thought was actually kinda sweet, all got ruined in the most unnecessary ways. I am so disappointed in this season, and there’s a reason it has one of the lowest ratings I’ve ever seen from a BL before. I beg of you, don’t watch this series; it will always be my least favourite and the worst BL I have ever seen!!
