Toxic shows I don't recommend you watch
-
1. Bad Romance: The Series
Thai Drama - 2016, 13 episodes
Although being the origin drama for 'kornknock', this is anything but healthy.
It lives up to its name.
-
2. Love by Chance 2
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Again, a BL that thinks toxic relationships are cool. Both season 1 and season 2 'CanTin' couple are unbearable to watch.
-
3. Together with Me: The Next Chapter
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
Both this one and the sequel 'Together with me' are the same as the 'Bad Romance', but even more toxic, containing cheating and a total absence of any communication, manipulation...etc
If you like their chemistry, I recommend you watch Manner of Death with the same main leads but a way better plot and story.

4. Well Intended Love
Chinese Drama - 2019, 20 episodes
This drama, together with its season 2, is for me one of the worst Chinese dramas I've ever watched, whether it be in terms of toxicity, lack of budget and terrible acting.
-
5. HIStory: Obsessed
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
All 'HIStory1' are very hard to understand with its lack of plot and time, but this one might me one of the worst ones.
Anyway, if you want a healthy Taiwanese BL in the 'HIStory' franchise, watch History2:Crossing the line or History3: Trapped. -
6. TharnType
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Unfortunately one of the most known thai BLs, also one of the most toxic.
This relationship starts off on rape that turns into love.
Other characters, got gang-raped or worse.
Please, for the love of god, don't like this show. -
7. Time to Fall in Love
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Very controlling male lead, another one of those no-budget no-plot Chinese dramas.
-
8. Ton Hon Chon Tee
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Summary: guy who doesn't know he's gay falls in love with his 'homophobic' best-friend.
-
9. Uncontrollably Fond
Korean Drama - 2016, 20 episodes
Although I do love both actors, the couple was nowhere near healthy. They were manipulating eachother to stay and all-in-all, the two main characters were terrible people. Only the end could be considered okay.
-
10. Love Alarm
Korean Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
Do I have to write something about this? Probably not.
Almost everyone knows how toxic this is and season 2 confirms the toxicity of the male lead once again. -
11. HIStory4: Close to You
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
After rewatching this, I regret not putting this sooner here.
The main lead's relationship is the less toxic of the two, but still toxic: lack of consent, forcing him to act as if they were together, taking illicit pictures without asking...etc
The secondaries are way worse. Brother and his step-brother who rapes him, then forces him into a relationship by guilt tripping him (tried to commit suicide, showed him all his stalkerish notes..etc Also, breaks in his house, assaults his roommates just because he's 'obsessed'.
It's a shame because HIStory 3 was so good and they just backtracked to HIStory 1's toxicity.
