  • Cutter

    1. Cutter

    Korean Movie - 2016

    9.0

    Watched: 1 time

    A jealousy filled love triangle with gritty, moody and dark story elements.
    A lot of subtle symbolism and subtextual MM romance. (One sided?)  
    Very open to interpretation, but as I see it, this is a BL, even if Se Joon's love is one sided or isn't (left unanswered).

  • To My Star

    2. To My Star

    Basic and a bit cliché, but feel good.
    Seemed to aim for this kind of vision.

  • To My Star 2

    3. To My Star 2

    Not out of character ''overreacting'' from the ''cold'' lead. I think it fits even if a bit too dramatic for me.

  • Bokura no Shokutaku

    Sweet slow paced romance. Suprisingly not cheesy, just cute and pretty funny. Yukata, Yutaka

    The ''computer brain'' guy being more proactive was a good surprise?
    Brainless fun, fairly formulaic show and all. I like a lot.

  • Your Name Engraved Herein

    6. Your Name Engraved Herein

    Taiwanese Movie - 2020

    9.5

    Watched: 2 times

    Very moody, realistic and bittersweet. A lot of pretty symbolism, metaphorical imagery and meaningful subtext. Show not tell.

    A show that is better when you know little about it.
    But bittersweet as hell, so beware if you're not in the mood for it.
    Still a happy, ambiguous ending.

  • Love with Flaws

    7. Love with Flaws

    Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes

    Watched: 5 times (1 fully, 4 ''BL cut'')
    It's not a ''BL show'', BUT, the MM couple is really well written and acted.

    Main couple is 'eh', but the sides ones are good. (FM and MM ones)

  • After the Restart

    8. After the Restart

    Sweet countryside romance. More about finding meaning in life and overcoming your past.

  • Old Fashion Cupcake

    9. Old Fashion Cupcake

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes

    8.5

    Watched: 2 time

    Fairly basic plot and setting, but pretty good. Lots of good messages to apply for your own life... Doing/learning something new everyday, not become stale in a predictable but unchallenged life, etc.

  • Manner of Death

    10. Manner of Death

    Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes

    9.0

    Watched: 2 times

    Proper show with a romance sub plot that happens to be two males.

    Fun action stuff, medical pathology that is fun to learn (to me at least) and interesting three dimensional characters actually with motives beyond ''make drama because it's the third act and we have nothing''. The drama doesn't really feel forced, and the story got me curious and invested. 

  • The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese

    11. The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    The characters are morally ambiguous, obviously flawed and very well portrayed. Even considering the circumstances, I could relate to how the characters were feeling and felt bad for every characters. Even the ''girl rival'', which is usually a bland, useless caricature in ''BL shows'' was well written and I felt sorry for her.

  • A Shoulder to Cry On

    12. A Shoulder to Cry On

    Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes

    8.0

    Watched: 1 time

    Psychological story a bit. Messed up well written characters.

    Will rewatch eventually to score better, but rn this shit good.

  • We Best Love : Le premier pour toujours

    13. We Best Love : Le premier pour toujours

    Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    8.5

    Sweet story without being too corny/dumb. Characters that feel real and not fujoshi bait. Zhou Shu Yi doesn't act like a shy maiden, he owns up to liking the other guy, which is refreshing. Zhou Shu is also bi and had a crush on his childhood friend, which is a girl for once.

    The other MM pairing was out of place and cringy to watch.

  • HIStory3: Prisonnier

    14. HIStory3: Prisonnier

    Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes

    7.5

    Watched: 3 times

    Honestly really liked it, even if some scenes were unfunny-dumb and fanservicey (otherwise would be a solid 9.5/10).
    It had good pacing, slow enough for me to enjoy, but not stalling, and the story actually interested me overall (mafia kind of, crime shit)

    Idc about Jack and other guy though, they were just unnecessary cheese imo. Liked the other couple though.

  • The Eighth Sense

    15. The Eighth Sense

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    Just finished, so will need to rewatch. But this is good, psychological trauma aspects for a character.

    Half a guilty pleasure? But I really do think the characters are very well acted.
    Good actor chemistry, lots of show not tell behavioural/facial expression cues. Natural story progression.  Pretty slow paced.
    Really liked the side characters and their tales (Bao Luo Yin's dad, auntie, etc)

    There's a difference between teasing/push it and acting rapey... it's a thin line in this, but the acting makes it work somehow in my opinion. Both are very stubborn characters. Have to rererewatch to be sure it's not me being generous.

  • Sotus: The Series

    19. Sotus: The Series

    Thai Drama - 2016, 15 episodes

    Guilty pleasure, but I really like the characters. Believable, even with the eyebrow raising moments. Last few episodes could have been more slow-burn, but the rest of the progression and character's slow and realistic.

    That and the gang of dumbasses from Arthit's group are actually funny.

    No skinship, no sex, no fanservice.

  • Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa no Yoru

    20. Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa no Yoru

    Japanese Movie - 2021

    7.5

    Watched: 1 time

    Kinda more of an underdeveloped bromance. Manga was better, even the anime was too.
    BUT, I see it was romance, just not ''steamy'' or well defined.
    (Still underdeveloped as the movie goes on, but better than instalove/makeout every 2 seconds cuz the audience are thirsty fujoshis)

  • Our Days

    21. Our Days

    Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    8.0

    Need to rewatch
    Very slow paced and with a bunch of awkward pauses. Somehow works and fits, but definitely kinda uncomfortable at times. I don't recall awful sound editing for once in a thai drama, mostly quiet/lowkey..? Unsure

En vogue
