Ah yes, completely realistic.

You spend your whole life in London, form close friendships, go to school, build relationships — and then one day, strangers try to kill you and your father. So you flee to Thailand, and apparently, that’s the end of that. No one notices you’re gone. then… crickets? No calls? No texts? Not even a dramatic group chat message? Not even one “Hey bro, are you alive??” on Facebook? Apparently, once Khanin lands in Thailand, his entire London life just hits delete.

The writers really said: “Let’s just forget his entire existence in London ever happened.” Like… okay? Realism who? Continuity what?

Please consider watching this on their official YouTube channel instead of illegal platforms.
The actors, crew, and creators worked hard to bring this story to life — they deserve to be supported, not pirated.

Watching this series on their YouTube channel is for free — don’t come here and promote illegal websites like it’s acceptable.
It’s disrespectful to the people who made the series and to fans who choose to support it the right way.

Sharing illegal streaming links is not only unlawful, but also deeply disrespectful to the entire production team.
Promoting piracy doesn’t just harm the industry — it takes away opportunities from the very people who work so hard to create the content we love.

If you truly care about BL and want to see more quality shows in the future, support them through legal channels.
That’s how the industry grows — and it’s the least we can do.

I actually have to disagree with you on this.

Yes, the pacing is slow — painfully slow at times — but I think that’s part of the charm of My Sweetheart Jom. It’s clearly not aiming to be your typical fast-paced, plot-heavy BL. It leans more into a romantic, nostalgic tone, and for me, that works. The lotus lake scene, for example, I thought was stunning. The scenery was beautifully shot, and the way it was framed felt almost cinematic. That kiss might’ve come late, but it felt earned in the moment, not just shoved in for fanservice.

I also don’t think we can judge the whole show just yet — we still have three episodes to go! We’re only about 3/4 through the story, and there’s room for meaningful development. It’s not uncommon for Thai dramas to ramp things up toward the end, especially ones that are more introspective like this.

As for the interruptions — I get the frustration, I really do. They’ve been a bit overused, sure, and yes, the humor is hit or miss depending on your taste. But at the same time, the series isn’t pretending to be high-stakes drama or edge-of-your-seat suspense. It’s a gentle, slow-burning love story wrapped in light fantasy and period drama. And not every show needs to reinvent the wheel to be enjoyable.

Lastly, I’ve watched a lot of BLs — and this one may not be the most groundbreaking, but it’s definitely one of the more unique ones in recent years. It has a particular mood and aesthetic that sets it apart. So while it may not be for everyone, I think dismissing it entirely overlooks what it is doing right.

Thank you for this, very helpful.

I don’t know much about Omegaverse, but is it similar to PitBabe (current Thai BL airing)?

I feel like in PitBabe they didn’t focus much on the Omegaverse concept—it was more about powers. Whereas in ABO Desire, one of the male leads actually gets pregnant

ABO Desire is releasing tonight—a Chinese UNCENSORED drama set in the Omegaverse. 👀 I don’t know much about Omegaverse, but is it similar to PitBabe? I feel like in PitBabe they didn’t focus much on the Omegaverse concept—it was more about powers. Whereas in ABO Desire, one of the male leads actually gets pregnant (at least from what we see in the trailer).

So it goes 3, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1 ??? that adds up to 16.
Kinda weird, right? I’ve never seen such an odd airing pattern before.

I’m calling it now — they’re either about to make it official or Yo’s going to hit Jom with a ‘Will you be my boyfriend?’ moment.

I’ve watched over 100 Thai BLs, and even without the English subs in that episode 10 preview, my BL radar definitely caught the Thai word for ‘boyfriend.’ My BL senses are never wrong! 🥳

Yes, Top Form is at the top of my list too. Knock Out and Reset are still airing, so depending on how their finales go, Top Form might end up being my number one as well.

I don’t really trust what people say online anymore unless it comes directly from the director. Like with episode 10 — everyone was saying the kiss scene would get censored, but it didn’t

ABO Desire drops tomorrow, and I’m so ready! This is our first Omegaverse Chinese BL—and it’s UNCENSORED. 👀 That alone is a huge win.

If it’s anything like Revenged Love, it’s going to be just as addictive. 😏 I’ve watched over 300+ BLs across 7 countries, and honestly… China is still my top. 🇨🇳✨ There’s just something about the storytelling and the chemistry in Chinese BLs that hits different every single time.

Vietnam doesn’t produce many BLs, and the ones that do exist usually aren’t listed on MDL. I loved Reset too — it was so hard choosing between Knock Out and Reset!

For some reason, Revenged Love isn’t available on GagaOOLala in my country (Australia). I’ve only been watching it on their official YouTube channel since Viki releases the episodes a day late — and honestly, I don’t have the patience to wait! I’m super closeted so I can’t follow them on Instagram or Twitter, but please keep us posted — you’re doing an amazing job!

I agree. Most other Chinese dramas release 5 episodes a week (Monday to Friday), and they should’ve done the same for this one. But the thing is, it’s not even airing in China. I’m assuming people there are watching it with VPNs, and then the actors blew up in popularity. Honestly, it’s 2025—why is China still so homophobic? Why can’t they be more like Taiwan? 😩🌈

Thank you! Is Viu the original airing network? I thought it was Viki. 🤔 Also, do they have an official page where they post announcements? Like for episode 10, when they posted “do not share NC scenes,” for example.

Do you have a link confirming it’s actually postponed for a week? I don’t really trust what people say online anymore unless it comes directly from the director. Like with episode 10 — everyone was saying the kiss scene would get censored, but it didn’t

You can support them by watching on their official YouTube channel — Secret of Us episodes 1 and 2 are now available for free. If you don’t want to pay, just wait a few more days — they’ll gradually release the rest of the episodes.

What’s everyone’s favourite/top BL of 2025 from each country? 👀✨ Here’s my list:

🇨🇳 Revenged Love (China)
🇹🇭 Knock Out (Thailand)
🇰🇷 Secret Relationship (South Korea)
🇹🇼 See Your Love (Taiwan)
🇯🇵 Stay by My Side After the Rain (Japan)
🇻🇳 My Sweet Brother-in-Law (Vietnam)

Can’t wait to see your lists! ❤️ Which ones are your top picks so far?

Can’t believe there’s only one episode left—it feels like I just started episode 1 a couple of weeks ago! 😭

Knock Out is hands down my top Thai BL for 2025 🇹🇭
Revenged Love for China 🇨🇳
Secret Relationship for South Korea 🇰🇷
See Your Love for Taiwan 🇹🇼
Stay by My Side After the Rain for Japan 🇯🇵
My Sweet Brother-in-Law for Vietnam 🇻🇳

What’s everyone’s top BL of 2025 from each country?

Omg yes! 🙌 I totally agree with you. I have a big age gap (50 years) with my dad, and sure, we don’t always see eye to eye, but I will never call him a “coward”—especially in front of my partner or friends.
Maybe it’s the Asian upbringing in us, but respect for parents just hits different. ❤️ And let’s be real, Thun’s dad wasn’t being cowardly at all—he was literally trying to warn them about a trap. That’s not weak, that’s smart and protective. Give the man some credit! 👏

Likewise, I don’t have many Aussie friends here on MDL! 🇦🇺 I’m on all the platforms—Viki, iQIYI, and WeTV—but I’ll probably watch it on iQIYI. And if they have an official YouTube channel, you bet I’m subscribing to support them. ❤️ Also, I’m 100% staying up late to binge all 3 episodes—too cold in Melbourne to go out anyway, so might as well live my best drama life!
