Favorite Bromances and Censored BL Dramas
My favorite bromances and censored BL dramas. I have another list for true BL dramas.
-
1. Nirvana in Fire
Chinese Drama - 2015, 54 episodes
Romance is not the focus of this brilliant palace drama, but it still manages to have both a great het romance AND an intense bromance. OT3, anyone?
-
2. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
This xianxia drama managed to make the central BL love story come across beautifully despite censorship, and added even more slash potential among the side characters than the book.

3. Monster
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
The female writer and director sure knew what they were doing when writing and shooting this bromance. Slash potential = off the charts
-
4. Parole d'honneur
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
This wuxia drama was a labor of love that really pushed the envelope in its depiction of the central BL romance and turned out great despite the challenges of a miniscule budget and censorship.

5. Chief Kim
Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes
A feel-good office comedy about fighting corporate corruption with a funny enemies-to-allies bromance subplot
