Best BL I had ever watched

I stayed up until 2 a.m., despite having work at 8 a.m., just to watch the final episode, and it did not disappoint. The TV adaptation surpasses the 120-chapter Manhwa I read, offering a darker, more thrilling experience.

For those who complain about toxic characters, I would argue that without them, the story would lack depth and excitement. I recently finished Heart Stain (Korean) and Impression of Youth (Taiwan), both of which did not feature any toxic characters or villains, and I found them to be quite dull and simplistic to watch.

In contrast, Secret Relationship kept me engaged throughout. Every episode was thrilling, exciting, and filled with cliffhangers, and the flashbacks made perfect sense. The actors delivered exceptional performances, the male leads were captivating, the cinematography was outstanding, and the plot was gripping.

This is one of the best BL series I have ever watched. I would rate it a solid 10/10.

The Real Ending We Needed – Soft, Sweet & Satisfying

Don’t miss Episode 7 of Business as Usual — the 20-minute special that picks up right where the finale left off, and honestly? This felt like the real ending.

This ep delivers everything the official finale skimmed over: sweet closure, couple moments, and emotional satisfaction. The tone is light, warm, and heart-fluttering — a perfect balance of domestic fluff and unspoken affection. 🎂🕯️

Seeing Min Jun and Jin Hwan just be together, in sync and at peace, made this short episode incredibly rewarding. Their natural chemistry shines in the small gestures — sharing a cute one-year anniversary cake, exchanging fond smiles, and enjoying each other's quiet company. It was intimate and healing in the most gentle way.

My favorite part? When they both said “I love you” to each other — my heart absolutely melted 🥺❤️. After all the misunderstandings and emotional distance, hearing those words felt so sincere and long overdue.

✨ If this had aired as the official final episode, the series would’ve easily gotten a ratings boost. It wraps things up with the heart and nuance fans were craving.

Verdict: A must-watch for anyone who loved the main series. This is the emotional payoff we were waiting for. 💫

My Creditor Became My Boyfriend, Then My Husband ?❤️?

Just finished both episodes of the JohanNorth Special (Ep. 1 – 48 mins, Ep. 2 – 55 mins), and I’m giving it a full 10/10 — what a warm, heartfelt treat for fans of Fourever You! 🥹💕

I’ve always loved Johan and North as a couple. They were one of my favorite pairs in the main series, and I’m so glad the creators gave them this continuation. The story picks up seamlessly and focuses solely on their life together — no unnecessary drama or extra characters, just pure domestic bliss.

✨ From North being a devoted househusband — cooking, cleaning, and fussing over Johan’s health — to Johan coming home from work and spoiling his baby with love, gifts, and attention, every moment felt intimate and real. Even their little quarrels felt grounded in care, not the usual overdone jealousy tropes.

💋 The bathtub NC scene was hot and romantic — intimate without being excessive. And let’s not forget Johan’s proposal at the campsite. It wasn’t under the stars, but his heartfelt words in broad daylight still completely melted my heart. 💍

🎄The ending, with the two of them celebrating Christmas cuddled up with their duck plushie, was the perfect final touch — sweet, soft, and full of love.

Maxky and Bas have undeniable chemistry — they’re so adorable together that I couldn’t stop smiling. The episodes flew by, and not once did I feel bored. Sure, the plot is simple, but that’s the beauty of it — a slice-of-life glimpse into a maturing, loving relationship. Honestly, one of the greenest, fluffiest BL couples out there. 💚

A Vampire Romance That Sinks Its Teeth In Deep!

I just finished all 12 episodes of My Golden Blood (2025) and I have to say—it was such an entertaining and memorable ride. I gave it a solid 9/10 for its unique concept, strong chemistry between the leads, and a fresh take on the supernatural BL genre.

🩷 What I Loved:
All the NC scenes were hot and steamy 🔥—Mark (Joss) and Tong (Fluke) had amazing chemistry. Every kiss and intimate moment was filled with tension and passion 💋.
Both actors were not only talented, but also tall, handsome, and visually stunning. Serious eye candy all around 😍.
Loved the English OST 🎶—emotional, catchy, and perfectly placed.
The university campus setting was probably the most modern and high-tech I’ve seen in any Thai BL 🏫💡—really added to the production value.

🧩 Room for Improvement:
The ending felt a little rushed—I wish they had spent more time wrapping things up emotionally .
Some of the fight scenes were a bit underwhelming compared to Korean or Western standards ⚔️—could’ve used more impact and polish.
I was really hoping Tong would turn into a vampire after Mark bit him 🧛‍♂️💉—and then they’d have a wild, passionate love scene 😅. That didn’t happen, but I’m holding out hope for a special episode!

✨ Final Thoughts:
Despite a few minor flaws, My Golden Blood really impressed me. It blends romance, fantasy, and suspense in a way that feels fresh and addictive. With sizzling chemistry, striking visuals, and a touch of mystery, it’s definitely one of my top BLs of 2025 so far.

Rating: ⭐ 9/10
Rewatch Value: Yes! Especially the steamy scenes and sweet romantic moments

A Heartfelt and Captivating BL – A Perfect 10/10!

I tried watching the first two episodes, but for some reason, it didn’t fully capture my interest. The plot didn’t feel particularly strong to me at first. However, after receiving recommendations from others, I decided to continue, and I ended up binge-watching the remaining 11 episodes in one sitting. It did not disappoint—this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

This series is nothing short of perfection. From the storyline to the acting, everything about ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat is beautifully crafted. It’s one of those rare BL dramas that manages to stand out for all the right reasons.

The Storyline & Romance:
The romance between Thame and Po is incredibly refreshing and realistic. It’s all about the little moments that truly build a connection—whether it's walking together, holding hands, or just spending time in each other’s company. There's no unnecessary drama, no irritating third wheels, and no toxic characters. The love between the leads feels so genuine and pure, and the series doesn’t rely on over-the-top melodrama to push the plot forward. Instead, it’s a beautifully understated and healthy romance that develops at its own pace, making it all the more touching.

The way the entire group of friends supports each other throughout the series adds another layer of warmth to the story. Their friendship dynamics are heartwarming and make the experience feel even more authentic.

Acting & Chemistry:
The chemistry between the leads, William (Thame) and Est (Po), is undeniable. Despite William being relatively new to acting, his performance is incredibly impressive, especially considering he’s also the lead singer of the T-pop group LYKN. Est, with his experience, plays Po with such depth and nuance. Together, they have an undeniable connection that brings their characters to life in such a natural, compelling way. Their performances truly elevate the show, and you can feel the genuine emotions they portray. GMM truly struck gold with this pairing.

Production Quality:
The production team and film editors deserve major praise for the smooth, high-quality execution of this series. The cinematography is on point, and every detail—whether it’s the pacing or the transitions—feels well thought out. The editing helps maintain the emotional impact of the scenes without being overly dramatic or forced. It all comes together so perfectly, making it a visually pleasing experience.

Soundtrack:
The OSTs in ThamePo are also a major highlight. Every song is full of emotion, complementing the storyline perfectly. The music adds another layer of depth, enhancing the feelings of each scene and making the experience even more immersive.

Overall Impact:
This series touches on themes of love, friendship, and the complexities of being an idol in the public eye, giving viewers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes struggles. The portrayal of the music industry and the pressures idols face—particularly in balancing love and their career—adds a lot of depth to the narrative, making it not only an entertaining watch but also a thought-provoking one.

All in all, ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a mature, well-acted, and beautifully told BL story. It’s full of heart, emotion, and beautiful moments that stay with you long after the series ends. I’m so glad I gave this series a chance, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a BL with a healthy romance, amazing chemistry, and a meaningful storyline. Truly a 10/10!

? Something Is Not Right – Beautiful, Bittersweet, and Just a Little Too Rushed

Rating: 8.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨☆

First off: visuals, visuals, visuals. All three male leads—Ba U, Hun, and Ha Min—are absolutely gorgeous. 😍🫶 Their soft, boyish charm and natural acting made this short series so easy on the eyes and heart. Add to that a beautifully shot university campus 🎓🍁, excellent cinematography, and a dreamy OST 🎶—and you’ve got a drama that’s emotionally tender and visually poetic.

💖 What I Liked:

The cast’s visuals and performance—especially Ba U’s subtle expressions and Hun’s gentle concern—were really touching. 🎭
Beautiful setting and strong use of natural lighting. The vibe was consistently warm and melancholic. ☀️📷
The soundtrack hit the right emotional notes without being too overpowering. 🎧
Soft tension and emotional pacing between Ba U and Hun felt very real—especially if you’ve ever had a long-time crush on a close friend. 😔💘
Ha Min was a surprisingly compelling character—I wish we got more depth from him! 😶
🌀 What I Disliked:

The plot was extremely thin, dragged over 8 episodes with very little development. 😐
Each episode was too short, and yet they were padded with excessive flashbacks and repeated scenes. ⏪🕒
The confession came way too late—in the final 15 minutes of the last episode! And after that? The main couple barely interacted. 💔
Ha Min's stalking subplot had potential but was left vague and unresolved. ❓
We finally get some payoff, and then... it ends. No epilogue, no couple moments, no closure. 🫠
Still, I’m giving this an 8.5 because of the dreamy atmosphere, beautiful cast, and emotional potential. It had all the ingredients of a really special story, but just needed better pacing and more depth. 🙏

If you’re into soft, slow-burn stories with stunning visuals, it’s definitely worth a watch—but don’t expect a satisfying ending. 🥲

Sweet and Steamy: Top Form 2025 Is a Honey-Dripped Romance!

Just finished Top Form 2025, and I’m still processing how much I loved it. This series really struck a perfect balance between romance and intense chemistry. If you're looking for a deep and passionate love story, this one is a must-watch.

The Chemistry 🍯
The dynamic between Jin and Akin is absolutely electric. Their connection is palpable from the start, and it only grows stronger as the series progresses. The tension between them is undeniable, and the intimacy they share feels so natural and raw. And let’s not forget that honey scene—it was without a doubt one of the hottest, most sensual food scenes I’ve ever seen in a BL. It was playful yet steamy, a perfect example of how to mix passion and desire. 🍯🔥

Character Development 💖
Both Jin and Akin have compelling character arcs. Watching Jin’s growth, as he moves from being a rising actor to someone who’s starting to figure out his true self, is incredibly satisfying. Akin, on the other hand, has a quieter depth to him, and his journey of vulnerability alongside his success adds complexity to the story. Their relationship feels real, and the way they support and challenge each other is what makes their bond so special.

The Entertainment Industry Setting 🎬
What really stood out to me was how Top Form 2025 sheds light on the darker side of the entertainment industry. The pressures of fame and being constantly in the public eye are palpable throughout the series. Jin and Akin can’t openly show their love, always having to hide in public and avoid the prying eyes of fans and the media. This is a harsh reality for many celebrities, particularly in countries like South Korea, where the pressure to maintain a certain image is immense. The series emphasizes how being stalked both online and in person is part of the job for public figures, and the emotional toll it takes is evident. This is something that truly impacts their lives, highlighting why issues like mental health and even suicide rates among celebrities are so high in places like South Korea. It’s a stark, sobering reminder of the challenges that come with fame.

Final Thoughts 💭
Top Form 2025 is a beautifully crafted BL that mixes emotional depth with sizzling chemistry. The relationship between Jin and Akin is both tender and passionate, and the honey scene alone is worth the watch. The series also provides a thought-provoking look into the struggles of being in the public eye and the emotional toll it can take on people, making it a lot more than just a love story. If you’re a fan of BLs with strong character development, undeniable chemistry, and a realistic portrayal of the entertainment industry, Top Form 2025 is a must-watch.

Highly recommend! 🌟

A Beautiful Anthology of Brief but Sweet BL Stories | 8/10

Close To You is a breezy and heartwarming Korean BL anthology that offers a sweet glimpse into four different love stories, each capturing the delicate moments of unspoken affection, shy glances, and emotional firsts. The drama introduces us to eight male leads, and let's just say—every single one of them is absolutely stunning and gorgeous. The casting is definitely a visual treat, and each pair brings their own unique charm.

Since it's an anthology, each couple only gets under 20 minutes of screen time, which does feel a bit rushed. While the format keeps the pace light and engaging, a little over 30 minutes per episode would have allowed for deeper plot development and more time for the chemistry to fully bloom. As it stands, the stories are enjoyable but leave you wishing for just a bit more.

What really works in Close To You is its positive and non-toxic tone. There’s no angst-heavy drama or manipulative characters—just four different narratives of love in its many early forms. From school crushes to workplace pining, each story brings something different to the table, which helps the series feel fresh throughout.

Overall, Close To You is a feel-good, easy-to-watch BL that delivers on visual appeal, sweet moments, and variety. With just a bit more runtime, it could’ve gone from great to unforgettable.
Final Score: 8/10

? Johan and North Stole My Heart – Best BL Couple Ever!

Fourever You is a shining gem in the world of Thai BL, delivering a rare blend of emotional depth, strong character dynamics, and feel-good storytelling. After watching Perfect 10 Liners, I came into this series with high expectations—and it absolutely did not disappoint. Both shows are must-watches: cute, non-toxic, and filled with supportive friendships and an incredibly charming cast. I was so hooked that I binged all 17 episodes in just three sittings!

🌟 Story & Characters

The series follows four close friends—Easter, Hill, North, and Johan—as they navigate university life, personal growth, and romantic relationships. While it took me a bit to warm up to the first few episodes (especially with Ter/Easter, played by Earth), I gradually grew to appreciate his character more. I’ve loved Earth since My Only 12% and Until We Meet Again, but here his character felt a bit immature at first. That said, his friendship with North was a highlight—supportive, wholesome, and real. My only small critique is that Ter studies veterinary science, yet we never see him interact with animals or do anything related to his field—most of his screen time involves art classes, which feels like a missed opportunity.

Hill (Pond) is visually stunning and has undeniable screen presence. I really enjoyed his calm yet captivating portrayal and can’t wait to see him in his upcoming series Reset. As a couple, HillTer has great chemistry, and I would rate their pairing an 8/10.

💘 But the real stars for me are Johan and North. This couple completely stole the show. Johan (Maxky) is tall, handsome, smart (a med student!), and comes from wealth—he’s the full package. Paired with North (Bas), who is just adorable, genuine, and emotionally expressive, they became one of the best BL couples I’ve ever seen. I wholeheartedly agree with the many MDL and YouTube comments: JohanNorth is top-tier BL couple goals. Their dynamic felt mature, affectionate, and deeply romantic.
JohanNorth couple rating: 10/10 — perfect chemistry, perfect pacing, and emotionally fulfilling.

🚨 Important Viewing Tip: Watch the Uncut Version!

Please allow me to emphasize this: do not watch the cut version available on YouTube. I strongly recommend watching the uncut version. While it may only be a few minutes longer per episode, those minutes are crucial. They contain key emotional scenes that elevate the storytelling significantly.

Take Episode 15, for instance. After Johan returns from Boston, there's a heartfelt rooftop moment where he asks North to be his boyfriend. They hug and share two intense, passionate kisses—none of which are included in the YouTube cut. Having compared both versions myself, I can confidently say the uncut version offers a much richer and more emotionally complete experience. Don’t miss out on that depth—it’s well worth it.

🎬 Production & Final Thoughts

Studio Wabi Sabi continues to deliver. While Thai BL production budgets may not always match those of Korean dramas, the chemistry, storytelling, and emotional payoff are all there. The show is visually appealing, the pacing is smooth, and the soundtrack enhances the atmosphere beautifully.

Fourever You is the kind of series that sneaks up on you emotionally. It’s about friendship, love, and growing into the people you’re meant to be—with lots of heart along the way. I’m already counting down to Season 2, especially to see more of the other three couples.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves soft, romantic BLs with real emotional impact and a cast that feels like family. 10/10. 💫

10/10 – A Beautifully Heartfelt Journey Through Love, Fate, and Healing ?

Until We Meet Again is not just a Thai BL—it’s an emotional masterpiece that stays with you long after the final episode. The story seamlessly blends past and present, weaving a tale of tragic love, reincarnation, and second chances that hits all the right notes.

I’ve watched over 200+ BLs and I cannot believe I missed this one five years ago. I was so hooked that I binge-watched all 17 episodes in just 2 days. I also don’t think I’ve ever cried this much watching a series—ever. What a masterpiece.

What truly sets this series apart is the depth of emotion. Dean and Pharm’s connection feels destined and genuine, while the heartbreaking story of Korn and Intouch adds powerful layers of meaning and sorrow. The acting is phenomenal—especially from Fluke Natouch, whose portrayal of Pharm is so tender and raw that it's impossible not to feel every moment with him.

I also absolutely loved Ohm Thitiwat, who portrayed Dean so beautifully. He was stunning and so captivating to watch—his quiet strength and presence added so much depth to the role. I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing him in his upcoming series!

The cinematography is gorgeous, the soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, and the pacing gives you time to fully invest in the characters and their journeys. It’s a show that explores grief, healing, family, and the unbreakable bond of love across lifetimes.

Whether you're a long-time BL fan or new to the genre, Until We Meet Again is a must-watch. It’s romantic, emotional, and deeply moving—a show that proves love truly can transcend time

One of the Best Police/Crime BL

I vividly remember when this series first aired in November 2013; it quickly became one of the shows I eagerly anticipated every Sunday. It was one of the few shows I looked forward to each week. The cast was not only talented but also incredibly attractive, and I particularly appreciated the mix of police work and crime scene investigations—this was the perfect drama for me.

The cinematography, graphics, color, and CGI were all flawless. I loved how the characters Tharn and Phaya’s relationship developed, particularly their childhood connection. The gradual buildup of their chemistry leading to their love was truly remarkable. The intimate scenes were realistic and impactful, among the best I’ve seen in such dramas.

Overall, everything about the show was flawless—from the compelling story and excellent acting to the well-executed intimate scenes, the touch of comedy, and the satisfying ending. I’ve grown tired of the typical high school or university-themed BLs, so I was thrilled to see a series focusing on police and crime. I sincerely hope that more BL dramas like this will be made in the future. I loved it so much, and I would rate it 10/10.

A Quiet Reflection on Fleeting Connection

The Morning After is a short yet emotionally layered film that explores intimacy, detachment, and the unexpected weight of casual encounters. Set in the post-pandemic haze, the story follows Tien and Jay—two men who meet once a year for a physical connection that somehow feels both familiar and distant.

The 16-minute runtime works in the film’s favor, keeping things intimate and focused. The chemistry between the leads is understated but convincing, and the dialogue feels natural, even when loaded with unspoken tension. The heart attack incident acts as a quiet but powerful turning point, forcing Tien—and the viewer—to reevaluate the meaning of their yearly ritual.

Visually, it’s minimalistic, but the cinematography captures a sense of quiet isolation that mirrors the characters’ emotional states. While it doesn’t break new ground in terms of narrative, it effectively captures a very specific kind of relationship—one shaped by habit, vulnerability, and the things left unsaid.

Overall, The Morning After is a contemplative watch that lingers after it ends. It might not be for everyone, but if you enjoy subtle storytelling and emotional nuance, it’s worth your time.

Unforgotten Night: The Perfect Guilty Pleasure You Can't Stop Watching

I honestly don’t even know what kept me watching Unforgotten Night—the plot isn’t revolutionary, the characters make questionable decisions, and some moments are borderline absurd. Yet, despite all that, I couldn’t stop. I ended up binge-watching all 12 episodes in just two sittings. There’s something about it that pulls you in, even when you know it’s a bit of a mess.

The show follows Kim, a 25-year-old office worker, who's been secretly in love with his senior, Day, for a long time. To get over him, he decides to have a one-night stand with a random stranger he meets at a bar. Enter Kamol, a 30-year-old mafia boss with some very special needs in the bedroom. He’s been hopping from one partner to the next, looking for someone who can truly satisfy him. And Kim? Well, he’s exactly what Kamol’s been searching for. Once Kamol lays eyes on him, he’s determined to make Kim his own, and thus begins their messy, intense journey.

What really kept me hooked was Kamol’s insane dedication to Kim. Kim plays hard to get, he’s stubborn and sassy as hell, but Kamol keeps coming back for more. Every episode, Kamol does whatever it takes to win Kim’s heart, and honestly? It was addicting to watch. Kamol’s persistence, despite the many walls Kim throws up, is what made me keep watching. It’s a slow burn, but when it finally heats up, it’s worth it.

As for Kim—he’s a total mood. His sharp tongue, sassy comebacks, and general "I’m not impressed by anything" attitude made him such a fun character. He’s tough to crack, and that’s exactly what makes his dynamic with Kamol so interesting. The way he stays one step ahead, constantly throwing out “already ready” responses, made me laugh more than I expected.

But it’s not just the leads that make this show enjoyable. The side characters brought so much to the table. Day and Itt’s height difference and their playful interactions were adorable, and Ruj, Krit, and Lop? They were the comic relief I didn’t know I needed. Honestly, their shower scene was one of my favorites—it was so hot and steamy, and the chemistry between the three of them was undeniable. I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more of this threesome bodyguard trio! They added so much fun and heat to the show, and their moments together were always a highlight for me.

I also loved Baiboon’s pure innocence and cuteness. His moments with Kim and Kamol brought some much-needed lightness to the show. And then there’s Kom—his loyalty to Kamol and his care for Baiboon made him such a solid character. It’s nice to see loyalty like that in the mafia world, where trust is hard to come by.

Another part of the show I appreciated was the unwavering support Kim got from his friends, May and Jin. No matter how messy his life got, they were always there for him. Their care and love for him felt so real. And Kamol’s journey from being an orphan to finding a sense of family with Kim’s parents was beautiful. Kim’s parents were just so lovely and understanding. They accepted Kim and Kamol’s relationship with open arms, and seeing Kamol, who grew up as an orphan, finally able to call them his own was such a heartwarming moment. It added so much emotional depth to Kamol’s character arc, and I really felt for him in those moments.

There’s also Danil, whose obsession with Kamol is both creepy and fascinating. His fixation added a certain edge to the show, and it was fun to see how far he’d go to get Kamol’s attention.

Now, I totally agree with what a lot of others are saying about this show—it’s so bad, it becomes good. The plot is all over the place, the music often doesn’t match the scene, and honestly, some moments felt like they were just cut and pasted together without any real flow. The mafia boss and his four bodyguards literally kill everyone in their path with zero consequences, which is both ridiculous and strangely entertaining. Unforgotten Night is a hot mess—it's bad, funny, and silly all at the same time, which, somehow, makes it even more addictive. The flaws make it so much fun to watch because you just can’t look away. It’s so over-the-top, but that’s what keeps you coming back for more.

Sure, the show has its melodramatic moments, and the writing can get a little on the nose at times, but I couldn’t help getting wrapped up in the messy drama. Kamol and Kim’s relationship goes through so many twists and turns that you can’t help but root for them, even when it all feels a bit too much.

It’s not a perfect show, but I can’t help but love how it made me feel. The ending left me wanting more, and now, even days after finishing, I’m still thinking about it. Unforgotten Night isn’t flawless, but it’s definitely a wild, messy ride you won’t be able to stop watching once you’re in.
