BL MASTERLIST
This is a list of BL and/or LGBTQ+ dramas and movies i have watched.
Have been watching BL since early days, Takumi kun and Love of Siam times, so late 2000's early 2010's. I'll keep updating this rabbit hole as i get across to old series or movies i watched as well as the new series i finish. Always with a quick review/commentary.
This will help me to keep track but it can also be good for people that may find some content to watch so i'll make it public and try not to put spoilers (forgive me if i provide a bit too much once in a while, sometimes is needed) but still give a short input of every single one of them.
ENJOY
^^

201. Kiss x Kiss x Kiss ~ Perfect Scandal ~
Japanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Eps 4 and 9 are BL.
There's a bitof story in your kiss scenes.
Super short stories that are basically 2 dudes making out. Not complaining about that last bit but i wished we could have a bit more of story. -
202. Kiss: The Series
Thai Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
This introduced the pairng Pete x Kao.
The thingn is that is focused on the other love stories of their group of friends.
Here you barely see them and is the midle of their story if we talk about their storyline time wise.
1- Kiss me again: how they meet and start their love
2- Kiss: They together but being a secret relationship covered as friendship.
3- Our Sky episode: dating short story
3- Dark Blue Kiss: Obstacles and their love after 3 years of dating
-
203. Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
It's good, expected japanese going in circles and doing stupid things to lenghten the series and do unrealistic things for 30yo men.
other than that, anf like i often say, if you watch it like a marathon is better and you don't get all that time to think about the absurd stuff.
They are cute and the back story charming. I wished 2 episodes longer and them be the first ones going deeper on their high school love story. -
204. La Pluie
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
This has potential and couls have been soooo much better... but they went for the ridiculous tropes.
The main actors are bad. But they had decent chemi sexual wise.
The brother friend turned to lover... nah, they made that story dirty haha. -
205. Last Twilight
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
The story is fresh, deep and beautiful.
Some things in the middle could be cut out but overall is a good story and their love very pure, sincere and mature.
-
206. Last Twilight in Phuket
Thai Special - 2021, 1 episode
Prelude to the 2 season. As stunning as ever. This series, this production, this two... this is everything that it's right.
The opening scene is just... no words, their conection, chemistry and artistry are million times over any kind of chart, no comparison possible.
I am here just wishing that they aren't gonna give us a time jump in the second season, i need them to explore more this first steps as boyfriends, first actual kiss, sex, cute moments... i wanna see it all.
The end as well, a visually and emotionally ferrero rocher. -
207. Laws of Attraction
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Expected more. They are good actors and the premise was promising but ended up being a mess with a lot of fill in sub plots.
They never went deep and intense on the love department so is quite luckewarm. -
208. Les Garçons, Soyez Courageux !
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Childish nonsense but it's still okey.
At least is short and one of the main guys is funny. -
209. Les Hormones
Thai Drama - 2013, 13 episodes
This is a good teen series that broke many stereotypes and put out there hard to diggest topics.
Is also the first tv show where gay teens are included as a main arc as well, one of the couples. Only for that is a must. Movies like Love of Siam helped for this to be produced and this helped to have Love sick, the actual first BL series.
In some ways it reminds me of a toned down The OC. -
210. Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Loved the idea and the fact that the characters are more complex that boy likes boy.
My issue was that they went too far with some plots that were nonsense and it became quite a lot.
The chemistry was nice, could have shown more of that. -
211. Life is Beautiful
Korean Drama - 2010, 63 episodes
A really long family drama where the sons of the main 2 families are a gay couple disguised as friends.
I watched it skipping a lot because i was so curious. A korean drama in 2010 with a gay couple, that was a first.
Many problematic ways to handle it and really sad to see how they have to live and the pain that society and family inflinges them. But there were also good things that happened and they had a happy ending.
-
212. Life Senjou No Bokura
Japanese Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
One of my faves.
They are sn tender and in love, they are a match made in heaven, a forever and ultimate love.
Is soooo cute and gratifying to see how they meet when they are teens (comming of age) and fall in love in such a sweet and fascinating way. Then, their life along the line, 20's, 30's, 40's.... IMPORTANT!!! an extra few minutes in the movie version where you see them along the line till the very end.
The obstacles, society, bad decisions... all makes sense and is a very important sight for the japanese society.
Very very sweet with some bitter moments as life has.
Totally recommended.
PS: HIStory Make it Right cameo at the end *tears*
-
213. Light
Taiwanese Movie - 2021
Not your fluffy GMMTV thing.
Is dark, and the protagonist is really pittiful. Has a happy ending.
My issue is with one thing that the protagonist suffers almost at the end of it. Someone who loves you cannot handle it that way, and just a sorry isn't going to erase it. Is bad and hurt me. It triggered so... it did lost some points there. -
214. Location
Thai Movie - 2020
A sweet comming of age love story between neighbors. They learn to deal with their pre uni issues while bonding with music and cakes.
They are really cute and lovely, an eye candy of a movie. Is simple, not too many issues and not too complex, just a treat.
Their smiles and tendernes will make your sugar level increase, Nice kisses and soft boys. -
215. Long Time No See
Korean Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
A similar premise to HIStory trapped. Cops/mafia...
It was a bit darker but i still prefer Trapped in terms of the love development.
Is good tho.
-
216. Love 100° C
Korean Movie - 2010
This surprised me.
Not that sweet and pleasant. A hear impaired teen and his sexuality.
Unconfortable at some points, cute at others.
-
217. Love Advisor the Series
Thai Movie - 2021
A cute short thing.
40 minutes of a conversation between to friends that have fellings for each others. -
218. Love Class
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
I mean... i'll take it for a binge without any care that i will forget tomorrow, but this is your cliché bare minimun BL. Doing BL just because it sells.
A guy likes B guy
B guy likes a girl
B guy changes and now likes A guy
Let's make out of character conflict and make A guy who liked B guy from the get go and aproached him in the first place back out
Last scene reunion. Lock lips and call it a kiss.
THE END -
219. Love in the Big City
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
This is lgbtq+ content done right
Real to the core, emotional, powerfull... has it all
The journey to adulthood of a gay guy in his full glory. A perfect representation with a lot of life meaning and not your typical bl fantasy world, the imperfection of imperfect people with imperfect lifes whi unfairnes, sadness, strugless... but also love, progress, goals...
A MUST WATCH, THE STANDARD OF KBL -
220. Love in Translation
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This is a nosense mess
RIDICULOUS -
221. Love Is Science?
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 18 episodes
Gay couple on the side. Lesbian girl with some back story but not much going on till the end of the series.
At the beggining I LOVED Ou Wen as a character, he was powerful, honest, sure of himself and his masculinity... He said important stuff that should be preached, like "why a gay man cannot be manlier than you?" or "i am gay but i have standards" . I felt that the second part of the series forgot a bit about that Ou Wen and focussed on his vulnerable side. Still, great character. Mark, our playboy most likely bisexual got the memo and fell in love deeply, as he should.
They are super cute together, but after the sweet and interesting building up, i wished that it went a bit less comical and more emotional at some points, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, i wished to witness much more love and development between them, i'm talking about intensity of bonding and emotions, not sexual (not that i would mind but is not what i missed). I missed the progress and the peace of the story completely, like if i jumped episodes and that's why i'm missing things between such important events and steps.
For me this was terrible writting. You want people to be invested, in the characters, their relationships... And for that you need to move us showing us the development, not jump out of the blue from pivotal moment in their lives to pivotal moments in their lives. I seriouly question if the production, specially the direction and writting team were the same for the two parts, because it feels totally different from the first 10 episodes.
Overall, is sad that they didn't had more screen time and development between important moments.
Still super iconic start and couple, i will miss them but all the lack of development made me less invested that what i predicted to. -
222. Love Mate
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
It's cute.
Nothing out of this world but definitely a sweet simple story. We are used to have a million for straight couples so keep the gays comming.
-
223. Love Storm
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
It's an ok series. the first half is about one couple and the 2nd about the other one.
They both had chemistry, good progress and hot scenes.
Not to deep not too ridiculous and not too draggy.
A good watch. -
224. Love Supremacy Zone
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
This was cute and very enjoyable.
I did not get the game quite well and how all went like that but the meaning behind all this was beauty and they so sweet... so whatever. -
225. Love Tractor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This was so cute!!!!!
Is a simple love story but very well put together, fun, sweet and cute.
It's also quite unique with the farmer that's 20 but looks 30 and acts like a big baby with dialect and the sexy slim city boy 7 years his senior but looks way younger haha.
Just a super cute simple lovey dovey story. Feels warm and good. Happy and seet after taste :) -
226. Love With Benefits
Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
As a series this ain't it. Quite absurd, way too cliché, things that are poorly acted and make 0 sense, not that interesting... But the two actors worked their chemistry.
They connected when they touched and kissed each others, i don't know if they truly felt the atraction (i doubt is about them being excelent actors lol), but it totally looked that way, like they wanted to be there with each other, even their kissing matched like it wasn't something new. -
227. Lovely Writer
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Great main couple. New storyline, plots, subjects of discusion... With this one it feels like the BL world is actually evolving in the right direction.
Extra points for their cat like features, they are gonna send me, istg.
My biggest issue is that i feel that the after ep 9/10 things went flat. Quite disapointed with the last main arc of conflict and how they are dealing with it, specially Gene. he lsot his balls there.
The hetero couple is bad, just bad. I mean, the guy is a keeper, but the girl is stupid.
Still, at the end Gene never found his balls back. What if there's another obstacle in the future? Will he drop Sib again without considering his side? They could easily talked about it and agree to do what happened, withouth the hurting. -
228. Lovely Writer Special Episode
Thai Special - 2021, 1 episode
It didn't add anything worth it tbh. Just more couple moments and kisses, not complaining about that but you could sum up all that in 15 minutes and call it a day.
Another silly misunderstanding, and the character growth nowhere to be found. Gene keeps being unreasonable and puts himself and how he feels over trying to be a bit more understanding and putting more effort into the relationship, is always the other part that has to understand him. Sib keeps using white lies to get the things that he wants. 2 years and their communication is still worrisome.
The important plots during the episode, like abuse and mental health only were used as a tool with no ending or importance... You cannot show me a couple that has a guy being abussed and beaten the crap outa it by his boyfriend and move on without that having a propper endind or any relevance for anything.
And let's not talk about yet again another ending wedding for the straight couples that most likely only 4 cats are truly invested or care about.
Their chemistry is worth it, but like i said, that's 15 minutes between a nonsense of special episode. -
229. Lucky Love
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
Whatever
-
230. Man's Romance
Korean TV Show - 2022, 11 episodes
Gay reality show
-
231. Marry Go Round
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
Did i care about this mess? 0
I just hope this two can have a good proyect because their chemi is out of this world. Same as in their first proyect together, Destiny Seeker.
I truly think there's something going on between them for reals, and i'm never the delulu style. -
232. Mate Match
Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
Some cute short simple thing. Some silly misundertandings but you know the ride.
They are cute together but i wished for more moments and cute interactions, they were living under the same rooft. there was a perfect settign for a lot of cuteness, oportunity missed. But they were cute at the end.
Nice, easy to diggest. -
233. Meet Me Outside
Filipino Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
This one was cuter and better than i expected it to be.
Kaloy is handsome as hell may i add.
Is a short not that over the top story, a broken heart wishing to be loved and a guy that has a crush on him and works at the hotel he is staying.
I loved that it was a realistic take, not messy exes, closets, cheating arcs... just two guys falling and trying to make it work.
I would love a season 2.
Kaloy hottest Filipino actor. -
234. Meet Me Outside
Filipino Special - 2021, 1 episode
The series compiled as a movie, is ok to watch any of them, you won't miss crucial stuff if you stick to the movie.
-
235. Middle Love
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
A fever dream.
Hate the main character with a passion.
-
236. Minato Shouji Coin Laundry
Japanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
As cute as I find this drama. I have to admit I'm growing evermore frustrated with Japanese BLs.
Additionally, what is with all the pathetic childishness amongst grown adult men when it comes to any kind of intimacy? It's just not believable. What reality do they live in?
Disappointed but not surprised.
I stopped after the birthday episode, halfway, i clearly knew how they were going to milk this and make the same boring plots that we always get till the end so we don't get to see much of them together. So may as well wait and binge skipping during the misery for me to watch their happines together for 5 minutes max. And... i was totally right, watching the 2 half of this series in one go was the best deccision ever to make the frustration shorter.The series itself might have been stretched beyond what the story needed but it was cute.
If only they stop being scared of doing proper stories... hopefully soon.
-
237. Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Thank god that i waited till it was over and watched it in one go.
I would have been super frustrated otherwise.
All the improvement they made the last ep of 1 season went downhill and took them ages to be open and in love, till the very last 3 or 4 episodes Minato was as frustrating as it can be, so i imagine the torture of watching this weekly.
In one go is better and even if frustrating, not as much and you can be a bit more understanding.
The end is super cute, absurd plot that make no sense to make them move forwards, but at least they did.
Overall i'm just a tiny bit sad that such a sweet and strong couple went a bit wasted with all the nonsense filler, but happy because they are the cutest and they exist. -
238. Miracle
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
This was a HUGE dissapointment, the plot lacks so hard and the second half of the drama is such a mess and characters act all over the place.
How much i wish they stopped the story at episode 8 when it still was cohesive, made sense and characters weren't ruined.
They are sexy and adorable but the story is extremely lacking, I feel like the mafia part is a joke.
Anyway, I don't know what is happening to Taiwan BL recently but it's just not it. -
239. Mon Cher et Tendre
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
I wasn't expecting something grand, we are talking about K BL, so baby steps are expected. But i at least deserve a cohesive and basic story that makes sense and i deserve to know a thing or two about th e mains so i can get invested. And they didn`t gave me that.
Both actors are good and easy to look at. That's the bright side.
I don't know how i am supposed to feel with how they handle the forgiveness and everything is fine at the end but whatever. Mediocre at it's best. -
240. Monster Next Door
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Started simple but cute, ended getting boring and cringe.
You might not want to talk, but you just ignore the misunderstanding and walk away? Like one sentence would do it. Literally, a "Line" will clear everything but they keep doing this stupid things to milk two more episodes of a drama I'M SICK OF IT -
241. Mood Indigo
Japanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
Darker and sader than the sequel Pornographer.
Also worse. Way worse.
And let's not talk abput the chemistry, here there's no much conection going on, much more lust. -
242. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Very solid. Mature, real, serious, well made and portrayed.
We all know some of the actors well and they not only are good at their job, but also have insane chemi.
You don't fool me, i'm familiar with your game. You two are a real couple.
Not only the main pair was superb and a great story perfectly portrayed, each character and relationship was good here, the brother with the deaf kid, the ex, friends... very well rounded series.
Excellent writing and storytelling, with a script that shouted realism and made sense to the brain. No ridiculous, unbelievable, plot holes. No exasperating filler episodes. No stupid misunderstandings due to lack of communication. Limited tropes. Good directing. A sublime cast of truly talented actors, with each and every one committed and invested in delivering their role - respect!Natural and believable character development, together with sublime chemistry across our leads.
-
243. My Beautiful Man: The Movie
Japanese Movie - 2023
Saw it unsubbed.
Finally there was growth and their relatioship became what it should, two equals.
-
244. My Boy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
I guess it's supposed to be funny, but it's more embarrasing than anything.
They are not only 0% actractive, also have 0 chemistry and the acting skills of a shoe.
Jesus, why i do this to myself... Terrible, no plot, nothing happened and there was no ending. Seriously... why. -
245. My Dear Gangster Oppa
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Meh, i like the main actor, Meen, and he is hot as hell, but the series started with an ok plot and went to a mess nonsense.
-
246. My Friendship
Thai Movie - 2020
This is an indie super low budget movie. Keep that into consideration.
Is was good, Of course with more resources and better filmed could have been great. The actors did ok, it was too strong of a move to be made, the direction could have made it way more impactful.
Very sad ending, be warned. -
247. My Gear and Your Gown
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
I enjoyed this one quite a lot.
There were some stupid misunderstandings and dramas that came from mowhere and was totally just to kill time. But then there were other important topics that are unusual even on bl land that were adressed, like safe sex, STD, the fact that this is the first time I’ve seen the parents going to a psychologist trying to understand their son... this should be the bare minimun, but it's a barely seen sight.
The love story overall was ok, they are cute and have some spark. -
248. My Love Mix-Up!
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Worse than the Japanese original and that already was bland.
This is childish, unrealistic, propaganda, product advertisement... just a bland thing,
A shame considering we know the pairing and they do can act and pack a good series if given to them. -
249. My Personal Weatherman
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
It was a good watch in one go. I can see why it would have been frustrating if it was week by week.
Your typical japanese people that have a hard time having emotional intelligence and undertand social interactions.
A bit weird and unrealistic at points, nonsensical, but still cute and okeish. -
250. My Ride The Series
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Overall, it was beautiful and sweet. A gentle love story.
The try to kiss but touching each other's lips as less as possible challenge and lack of skinship lowered it a bit for me. This kind of stories where emotions evolve and love rises need a bit more of affection, skinship, sensations, emotional lovey dovey moments... and they need to make me believe it, not feel uncomfortable or barely meh. I want butterflies. It's a shame because the story and plot are good. It's just that it could have been so much better and lovable.
They also carried the bf who is a cheater plot for way too long and dragging so much you can end up being absurd. It did happen. And, multiple of events and arcs that were unnecessary took time from the actual good things that could have happened. I much rather hear more about the uncles love story than watching another dull moment going in circles.
A good premise that felt a bit short, but a cute story. When the series was being absurd and tedious, Mork's dimple made me go through it.
-
251. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This was super cute. Perfect portray of first high school love.
The chemistry and acting was superb and the story well narrated, cohesive, made sense for the enviroment, age, everything.
Of course is super vanilla, has the stupidity of teenagers, lightweight and teen like, but it is what exactly should be. Still touches important topics for kids their age and treat things as seriously as it should be for a light weight lovey dovey drama.
The way they fall in love, the secret crush, the moments they have, their help to each others, the way they look at each others, even the clumshy, light and shy physical contact.
It's the perfect high school first romance. -
252. My Stand-In
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
This was so good and interesting.
There are a couple things that i wished they did differently but other than that this series is perfect.
Has a great and unique plot, it delivers in all senses, their love is deep the characters have layers, the issues are bigger and logical that there would be issues to begging with... and the actors did AMAZING.
Keep bringing this quality -
253. My Tooth Your Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This is Taiwan, and it shows. Well rounded characters managing their real life issues. Deep characters that aren't unidimensional and a love story also realistic, with ups and downs, with characters that sometimes act foolish but never fake or like a caricature.
The worst part, as usual, is the way they create a conflict for the last 2 episodes just for the sick of creating one and fill in more screentime. And it's always one out of 3, this time the parents against it.That ruined it a bit for me, i much rather have them ok and focus the lense on other couples that needed a resolution that never came and was just an imposted one at the very end.
-
254. My Toxic Lover
Filipino Drama - 2021, 7 episodes
It is one of the worst bl ever made in history
-
255. Never Let Me Go
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
I should have waited and binge while skipping, the plot is all over the place. I don't hate the series but they want me to take it seriously while doing this... i can't. It feels like a joke, absurd, all over the place nonsense drama, a telenovela.
The acting is also concerning, i bet not even them took it seriously, were embarrased and it shows.
Pond eyes, smile, hair, fit, arms... Whole Pond is the only reason i could finish it. What a charming man. -
256. Night Dream
Thai Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
The plot is the same ridiculous thing we have seen 10000 times. 99999 is a mess, no exception. Just stupid to make a bl and earn.
-
257. Night of Love
Thai Movie - 2020
A really short one about a couple having a trip and spending their first night together.
It was ok, nothing much and for it to revolve around sex, the it moment wasn't that it.
-
258. Niti Man Society and Lover
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
It has major flaws. In some ways it reminds me of 2gether the series.
Absolutely redundant, filler after filler and nothing substancial ever happens. I think i saw Jin being drunk and taken home by Bbom at least 5 times and they has 3 casts on their legs caused by football games. The pain i had to endure was bigger.
That ending was boring as hell.
I basically hated everyone here expect Bbom and his mom.
Good Ridance, i won't miss you. -
259. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
Really refreshing. A series that was dark, intense and revolved around other major topics but had all the love needed. Thism was a good way of leveling uup the bl game ans showing that they can do much more, much better, and much more adult like.
Some things were a bit repetitive and brainless and other failed to be all that dark, twisted and intense to feel a bit flat and college like. But that's what they are so it's ok.
The acting was quite convincig and the love stories ok. Even if i love the quemistry between OFFGun i wasn't that invested in their progress as i wished. I don't know what it is, but at some points it was meh.
But let me tell you, the second couple, Yok and Dan... major feellings. Their progress and specially the non verbal conection was out of this world. At the end was a bit flat... and let me say that i don't care if they are guys, if your partner wronged you, a punch is not the answer. I wished more phisical love between them as well, but still, they stole the sow for me.
All and all a very good series worth to be watched. Let's keep this on and make more bls outside the box. -
260. Oh Mando
Filipino Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
Damn this was messy!
Expected a lot, i was comming after the hype from Gameboys, even paid for the suscription but that went wrong had to try again... let's not talk about that agony.
The thing is that Kokoy acting is bomb, has tons of laughs, specially the first two episodes are funny as hell. But then the story is so stupid, full of trigering and wrong premises and situations... the ending os cute again.
I think that i will remeber the first two eps and the last 10 minutes.
Thought that having a LGBTQ+ member on the couple will make things more plausible, man i was wrong about that. -
261. Oh! My Sunshine Night
Thai Drama - 2022, 18 episodes
What a soap opera for nothing. The story is imposible to diggest. I cringed a lot and skipped even more.
Too many couples, some absurd.
Ohm is still an statue, 95% hot 5% acting skills.
Fluke looks like a new born duck, fire the hairdresser.
2nd couple have a pass till half of it, then the soap opera eats them alive and we never see anything else of their love.
Stupid, overboard, lackluster. -
262. Old Fashion Cupcake
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
Great story. Mature man, mature concept, mature issues... refreshing. It was simple yet deep, people that have real concerns and act and feel like people do.
I don't understand why we get a impulsive confesion a bit forced type of kiss but don't get a finally in love and consent one. Japan and their things.
It was short yet perfect, not dragging absurd issues or having stupid plots to fill in.
Tastefully done. -
263. OMG Vampire
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
BULLSHIT
This is not a series, is so unserious, like when you played with your friends at 10yo. riduculous.
The actors are hot and that's the only good thing i can say. -
264. On Cloud Nine
Thai Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
I'm on board with this trip, sweetness and sadnes, come and get me, i'm ready.
The plot is interesting, different and really well produced and delivered, specially visually speaking. It got more and more confusing episode after episode and i think they wanted to go too far, too deep and is not perfect, many things still weird at the end, but overall, a good watch and a unique take.
Loved Rossi since Once in a memory, i have a thing for actors that have expresive eyes, they just know how to get me. -
265. Once In Memory: Just Found Love
Thai Movie - 2021
Second part, this time from Films perspective.
I'm totally in love with this two and how simple, cute and beautiful this is. They carry everything with their chemistry.
Totally need more. Hopefully they will make it a saga. -
266. Once in Memory: Love at First Sight
Thai Movie - 2021
Super simple and cute short.
A beautifully told and acted story, i went back to high school for 17 minutes. -
267. Once in Memory: Wish Me Luck
Thai Movie - 2021
-
268. Only Boo!
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Started sweet and promising but went downhill, missed many sweet and loving oportunities and ended up being 4 episodes long and lukewarm.
-
269. Only Friends
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Had potential, always liked meesed up friends circles with all their love lifes. But for this one, the mess was the plot and series.
Some couples also lacked chemistry and did not enjoy half of the series. -
270. Ossan's Love
Hong Kong Drama - 2021, 15 episodes
It was fun, but for me it lacked in the romance department.
I expected more lovely dovey moments, glances, cuteness... in that sense was a bit dry.
Opposite side, the humor, i had tons of laughs. -
271. Our Dating Sim
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Cuter than expected.
They had chemistry together, enough to carry the love story.
It made sense, had a plot, was strong and felt realistic. -
272. Our Days
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
How to destroy something that had potential part 325454.
Forced chemi between dull characters that doens't make sense and feels unconfortable, dull story, absurd ways of handling things...
Then they had the story, the core, the feels, the full on circle love that could tear us apart, with a character that had depth and emotions on his face, and a love that was profound.
¿What did they choose? The dull, expected and basic ride.
The last 3 episodes are totally an absurd atempt to bring us back to the basic nonsense, but we already saw the hearth that the other option had, the sparkles were there, so there's no way we will eat that flavorlesss arc.
Terrible decisions ruined this show. -
273. Our Skyy 2
Thai Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Only the last 4 episodes were good.
They made Mr president boys super dirty and i felt cheated and robbed there. -
274. Our Story
Filipino Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
I decided to give it a go even if i never like Oxin series all that much but man... this is next level trash but in terms of plot!!
We have a protagonist, Fifth, that it's the most pitiful person ever, his boyfriend cheats on him, belitles his emotions, disgregards his feelings, only thinks about himself and only he matters, throws emotional abuse at him over and over again... and somehow he is the culprit and all his friends treat him that way as well. They all make him feel so not worth of any good that he started to feel that way and be the one that is sad, sorry and asking for forgiveness and fighting to get back a guy that has made his self worth dissapear. And this is not the start of a series where everything will change and he will leave all this people behind, this is his entire life and story,Hekeeps asking for forgiveness when it should be the other way around, when his self worth and moral is beyond the floor, we know his dad abused him and he is completely brainwhased, they get back togethers and the abusing bf never asks for forgiveness.
FREAKING SOCIOPATH!!!!!!
I cannot get on my mind how this is any good, since when the bad guy gets the happiness and everything goes his way and the good guy is gaslighted, abused and still gets the pain over and over from everyone he loves? What kind of moral this series has? it's ok to not have self worth as long as you get a boyfriend, even if he abuses and cheats on you it's ok because you deserve that?
WHAT THE ACTUAL F -
275. Papa & Daddy
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
I love than apart of teen or 20's love relationships nowadays we are getting more stories regarding adults that marry and form a family with kids. This is very important to open up mindests and put issues on the table.
It had deepness, and their strugless were real and according to their sciety and family issues.
Liked the chemistry between the daddies and it was very belivable that they were a 6 year old couple with a kid.
I wished it didn't end up with a cliffhanger that put the top in a bad light. The issue isn't what happeded, but the fact that he hidded that for 6 years to his significant other. That it's a major thing.
Overall i recommend to watch it, is more LGBTQ+ than BL. -
276. Perfect Propose
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
It was interesting, slice of life woth bl love. I still need more on the romance and realiksm department but it was a nice little thing.
-
277. Physical Therapy
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
The plot somewhat felt promising, the pairing was a cute one as well so it had all the ingredients to be at least average. But nothing added up.
I don't even understand or follow the story of the secondary characters. they come and go, something happens and then it's all good or never end their arc... what is this. The main couple as well. That time jump at the end was a sight.
If you're able to switch off your mind, your sense of logic and the need for clarity, then you'll be able to watch this series. Week after week I clung onto the hope that something will finally click but it only got weirder.
I enjoyed the faces of the male leads and i stayed for the long gazes, but 0 substance other than a good sweet kiss. -
278. Pit Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
Could have done so much better with this story and cast... is a mess with a hot dude.
-
279. Please Tell Me So
Korean Special - 2021, 1 episode
A sweet super simple short about a having a crush that also has a crush on you. Nothing more nothing less.
Simple, easy, basic, sweet. -
280. Plus & Minus
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Another one with potential that became redundant and basic.
I knew that they were going to give us this exact shitshow of a last hardship plot to fill in. This is exactly what shows do when they have no more story, nothing else to say and no will or talent to write deeper and touch you. They could have build more angst and on the shadows love and cook this romance more deeply and slower and i would have been inmensly happier. Even tons of flasbacks of how hard it was to live all those years as best friends while in love secretly would have been totally welcome. Instead they went for the basic route.
Lately taiwanese bls are on a slump, they just don't hit the mark as they used to.
About the second couple... one has good hair. -
281. Porngrapher: Continued Spring Life
Japanese Movie - 2021
Sweet way to wrap the story nicely.
-
282. Pornographer
Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
Interesting mini drama with an out of the norm plot and main leads. Both quite broken, emotional, sexual... is good.
Some parts make litle sense and at some points you wished there was more develpment and a bit of slowing down so you can enjoy the wait and the process while getting the full emotional ride. -
283. Pornographer - Spring Life
Japanese Movie - 2021
Short thing when they reunite. Was sweet.
-
284. Prend un morceau
Thai Drama - 2021, 11 episodes
I love slow-burn romances, but this is a no-burn romance. They could have told the first 7 episodes in 2 or 3.
If at least they had the kind of tension moments that make you scream and live for their chemistry... And their long stares are somewhat dull, like, specially Mark is very good at acting those things, but here i don't see the vibe between them as special. I love staring, like, i could die when Pupa and Tian looked at each others in ATOTS, their loving eyes consumed me, and truth to be told, the majority of us loved this series a lot, a series where there's only a single sweet kiss at the end. Why? because there was an story, deepness, slow burn romance ticking all the boxes... And let's not even start with ITSAY, because we could write a thesis about how amazingly that slow burn romance was made.
For me here there's a lack of plot and the dragging is making it bland instead of romantic. But i do think that the acting is quite nice, and of course, the food.The endind does improve a litle bit and there are some things to rescue this and that's why it's on my safe middle grounf of 7 points, were i don't hate it, but i don't like it.
I simply cannot overcome how high my expectations were and how crushed they are now.

285. Quaranthings
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Another interesting Filipino bl that ended up going flat.
Again, nice premise and idea. but this could have been sooooo much better if produced correctly. Also, the couple has not much chemistry and the sweet scenes, kisses and all that are forced, angels... no bueno.
Ended, again, sweet, but overall not that good of a series. -
286. Rainbow Lagoon
Thai Drama - 2022, 2 episodes
They make the sweetest short love stories.
It feels super raw and low cost, and they aren't even that handsome to me, they look very childlike, ordinary teens... and that's exactly their power, their charm. -
287. Rak Diao
Thai Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
I cannot with the constat laughs, sitcoms aren't for me.
Their love isn't all that exploited and is just comedic till the very end when they kiss and bye.
Too much absurdity going on. Just not my thing. -
288. Right Time Right You
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
Too short to convey.
Get it but nothing happens.
a bit of nothing with good intentions. -
289. Romantic Station
Thai Movie - 2020
Simple, sweet, cute and very well done.
It does everything they could do and more in a short of 7 minutes.
-
290. Roommate
Thai Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
This was hella awkward.
Not much going on till the very end and it feels like old school bl. Now we upgraded and this no longer satisfy the bare minimun. -
291. Ryu Sun Bi's Wedding Ceremony
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
This looks like some random thing you make with your mates fresh in college.
With this kind of bullshit the korean bl scene shows that it needs tons of work to do.
The premise was random and nonsensical but thought they could humoristically pull it off somehow. They didn't.
There's no love chemistry between the couple in the slightest so this is not even that much of a bl to start with, the last ep has some crying scenes that are kinda well pulled off. -
292. Saan, Sana Tayo sa Himig ng Musika
Filipino Drama - 2021, 7 episodes
Ok so... this is a REALLY low budget thing. After the 3rd episode there's no subs... maybe in the future there would be. The thing is, i was already there, watching them bawl their eyes out for cheating reminiscences and making a big deal about everything, so may i just see them find happiness haha.
Combining my bilingual ass (english & spanish) + 10 words that i understand from tagalog (thank you bl for culturizing us haha) + the visuals... i think i got the picture. kind of.
Damn, this 2 friends that went on a road trip to clear their minds sang a song, drank a few shots and ended up habing sex crawling over the stairs of a hotel lobby LOL
I mean, If public is your kink... It was hot, weird, funny... all combined.
The series ended like that, they decided to stay together and THE END.As they should. Another win for the gays.

293. Saebit Boys' High School Council
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
This is what i call a good predictable teen bl.
Yeah,there's not a lot of depth in here, but it's well done, cute and keep you waiting for the things that you know will unfold to happen.
Hopefully pushing this one forward will lead to reinforce the industry in Korea.
No complains really well done teen kbl drama. If something i would have wished to see more of the dating dinamic but all in all a great sweet one. -
294. Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
The typical japanese issue of not fully developing a love story between two guys and just hint and stamp it at the very last second with a peck with the least amount of passion and love you can think of.
It's always so anoying when they do this, They have a good product, fun characters and a lot of promise and then they ruin it,
Started good but fell pretty flat in the middle. became boring and I started to not to care if they get together or not.SAD

295. Second Chance
Thai Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
This show starts slow paced. .There is a nostalgic feel all over it, with an early 2000's OST that helps you being translated. They use the color in a diluted way, costumbrist i will say, sometimes it evoques the ITSAY and Call me by your name vibes, quite brilliantly for a very small production and budget. Pay extra atention to the rooms decorations, each poster has sense there.
Paper and Sky, the main couple, have great chemistry and acting skills. The last part of episode 3 is mesmerizing. Starting from there, their acting just keeps raising the bar each second. Is one of those special dynamics that not many bl couples can deliver, is in the details, the smallest gestures of tenderness, love, the little touches, the fingers caressing each other's skin... Even i got the shivers. Let’s give a special standing ovation to the actor that plays Sky part, Fluke, he is a rookie, but not many bl actors have made me feel the desperate, needy, profound and agonic love that he feels with just his eyes alone.
Also, i have warmed up with Chris and Jeno love story, it was just ok, till the last 2 episodes leveled up the game, and gave us a why, it was hella cute.
Some plots could have been improved, especially the first 2 episodes and the 3rd couple all together, for me they could have been cut and instead focus more on showing more alone scenes of the two main couples, when they are face to face alone is where everything in this series is right and makes sense, too bad there wasn't more of that.
Overal, i am very pleased with this drama, came expecting average and ended with a treat. Totally recomended. -
296. Secret Admirer
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
People that gave this a 10 are on crack.
I have my fare share of stupidity, even when something is really really bad i have to fast forward every episode and see it end. Maybe is to make sure it won't hunt me in my dreams.
SAVE YOURSELF, there's million of better things even to kill time and put your mind in blank. -
297. Secret Roommate
Korean Movie - 2020
Not the best not the worst.
Just something to kill time but the premise is good, the couple is cute, a good kiss scene and a nice hearth warming ending plot twist. -
298. See You After Quarantine?
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
It was a cute short thing. Not too deep, not too many issues. Covid and meeting, there's that. But overall it was sweet and all.
It won't hurt you and it will leave a sweet after taste.
I believe is brilliant for a cozy day at home. That's the good thing about being hella short.
-
299. Semantic Error
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
One of the best Kbls so far.
They fit together like a glove, the chemistry is chef kiss and the story, even if nothing really new, flows well, doesn't feel dragged and things make sense.
It's simple yet sucesfull and the actors were commited to their roles, what sorry to say but hard to see when it comes to bl from korea.
From enemies to lovers plot that works and is fun because of their personalities.
I could have lived without the always last plotline of something happens and it's best not be together but well nevermid let's try. But other than that, it was simple yet efective.

300. Senpai, Danjite Koide wa!
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Very cute to watch all in one take, a bit flat if go slow and watch it weekly.
Your typical rom com with stupid misjudging, interpretations, silly conflicts and nonsense. But the cute one, the one you like to watch time to time to just think of nothing and treat yourself with this sweet candy.
