My Favorites
this list is like i'm being drawn and quartered bc every piece of me is being torn in different directions trying to rank these
-
1. O Eclipse
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Akk and Ayan are perhaps my favorite couple to ever exist. The chemistry between First and Khaotung is unbelievable. I love them so so much and this story is wonderful. My comfort series.
-
2. Palavra de Honra
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
AHHHH
That's the best, most concise summary I can give for the way this series makes me feel
-
3. Não Me Abandone Jamais
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
i LOVE this show! Pond and Phuwin did an INCREDIBLE job and I love the writing, cinematography, and music. It's a beautifully made series and it definitely gives me queer indie film vibes in the best possible way.

4. Até nos Encontrarmos Novamente: A Série
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
I first watched this in december of 2020 (writing this in May 2022) and it's been on my mind every single day since. I've watched it multiple times since and GOD I love it so much! I'm a sucker for soulmates (esp reincarnated ones) and every character is so loveable. Mutual pining is also a favorite, and BOY is it present here. It's both very sad and the happiest thing I've ever seen.

5. Luz em Mim
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
The impact this show had on me the first time I watched it is incommunicable, but know that it had me an absolute wreck for a few weeks after. Didn't hit quite as hard the second watch, but maybe the third ? Update: Third time was yet another new experience somehow. I wish there were more shows like this, it's one of the best
-
6. O Oitavo Sentido
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
i live here now
edit: now that it's been awhile since I've watched this (how has it been almost 5 months already wtf) I can actually form thoughts. This is a beautiful series and it is one that was clearly made with a purpose. I'll be the first to admit, some BL shows simply exist to be BL shows. This is a queer series that explores trauma and healing. I would get into it more but I don't want to
-
7. Minha Confusão de Amor!
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
only as low as it is because the final episode upset me, but I still adore this show
Hashimoto is one of my favorite characters from anything. I love her so dearly
Hell, all of the characters are my favorites they're all perfect. So stupid, so sweet, so cute. This show is a masterpiece that would have only been improved by a smooch and that would just be the cherry on top
I think I've watched this show the most of any shows and I'll do it again. It's such a comfort show and I need more like it
-
8. O Presidente da Minha Escola
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
one of the best soundtracks from any thai show i've seen. Fourth has SUCH a good voice. Seriously??? I love this show. Would have been even higher in my favorites if Tiwson and Por were the side couple. (no offense if u like soundwin, to each their own)
-
9. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
eeeeeeeeeee i waited so long for this show
was worth it
heart and li ming absolutely destroyed my heart and pieced it back together with all the tenderness and care in the world so now it's somehow more whole than it was before. in non-dramatic terms: they're SO precious and cute.
Literally the only way this show could have been better is if Alan and Gaipa had screentime together
-
10. Cupcake à Moda Antiga
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
This is just so sweet!!! Very understated and lovely. Makes me feel all warm and squishy
-
11. Unintentional Love Story
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
already wanna rewatch this. wish the kisses were better, would've been a 10/10 with good kisses but the fact it's so high even with dead fish kisses means it's GOOD. gongchan is so cute and the other guy (so sorry) is so gorgeous it sometimes caused me pain
srsly this made me want to do pottery SO bad and i even signed up for a ceramics class at my school lmaooo
Edit: Honestly, upon rewatching this the kisses weren't even that bad. Not amazing, but really not that bad
-
12. Erro Semântico
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
DUDE!! I love this show so much. Been a fan of Seoham since 2017 so the pure joy I felt when this was announced was astronomical.
And yet!!! It managed to exceed my expectations!!! It's really well made and I love the music, and the cast did a great job
-
13. Vice Versa
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Don't listen to anything anyone (except for me) on here says about this show. It's amazing. It feels like you're in a dream world (no pun intended) and I love it. The cast did great, the production team did great, the writers did great. I love this show.
edit: i also don't know why I said no pun intended
edit: i also don't know why i didn't know why i said no pun intended
edit: i also don't know wtf i keep talking about
-
14. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
endings are essential for me, and whilst this one didn't have my favorite of endings that just goes to show how good the entirety of the show is with how high it's ranked in my heart.
Also, Pa and Ink. As a lesbian, they're a huge part of what made this show SO good
-
15. Para a Minha Estrela 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I did cry a lot but this is a work of art and cannot be skipped
edit: i said can't be skipped but on ur second watch skipping makes it even more enjoyable lmaoo
-
16. Mulher Forte, Do Bong Soon
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
i NEED to rewatch this but i know in my heart of hearts it belongs here
-
17. Amor Pelo Amor
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
this is so well made and lovely. I lowkey wish Woongki had a bigger part but his character was adorable.
Seriously, this story is so beautiful and sweet and the ending made me almost tear up. There were SUCH fantastic moments. Great series, I will watch it again and again
-
18. Hospedeiro Fantasma, Casa Fantasma
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
kevin is my dearest boy who i will do anything for
the intimacy in this show is wonderful and i mean that in the most wholesome way possible
-
19. Jun e Jun
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
straight up forgot i added this to this list but I am so obsessed with Choi Jun that I'll stand by it. Life's too short to get caught up on the little things, Choi Jun is the perfect balance of unhinged flirt and respectful king. The exchange of "Why does he keep grabbing you? You're not his." "What are you saying? Am I yours, then?" "If you let me." perfectly encapsulates that
-
20. Kamisama no Ekohiiki
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
I can't even lie to you I forget what exactly it was that made me rate this so highly but when I rewatch it I'll let y'all know
-
21. Extraordinária Você
Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes
i stayed up til 10 am watching this so that has to count for something. I would die for Haru, and not just because he's played by Rowoon.
-
22. Para Minha Estrela (Filme)
Korean Movie - 2021
This is just so charming and the ending is SO great. One of my favorites
-
23. Bon Appetit
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This show is WEIRD. I didn't like it for a little bit but the second the main guy found a picture of himself in the other dude's apartment and then they name dropped the actor I was invested. Like wtf was that ?? And then the restaurant scene was so funny. And the college flashbacks. Seriously this is just adorable and silly and fun I adore it and will defend it to the death
-
24. KinnPorsche
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
This show is whack as hell but it's the purest form of entertainment I can't even lie
-
25. Eu Não
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
Honestly was near the top of my list but whilst rewatching it, I didn't like it quite as much. Still such an amazing show and should 1000% be watched
-
26. HIStory3: Armadilha
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
Jack and Zhao Zi specifically are my favorite couple from anything
i have got to watch this again cause it keeps falling lower on the list when i add new shows and that feels like an injustice
-
27. The Miracle of Teddy Bear
Thai Drama - 2022, 16 episodes
never expected this to be here but i cannot lie to myself. I've hardly ever felt this attached to any characters ever and the story this tells is so important and touching
edit: this drops lower and lower every time I update a list but that is solely bc it's been awhile since I watched this and I will likely never rewatch it. It's a fantastic show
-
28. Um Conto de Mil Estrelas
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
i should rewatch this because with time i think i've convoluted it and don't love it as much in hindsight? The ending made me upset and final impressions are very important. Still, I cried so hard watching it and Tian is one of my favorite characters from anything so it's on here for a reason! (will update this after rewatching)
-
29. Meu Dente, Seu Amor
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
i love this show! Very good chemistry between the main couple and I love how the story unfolds because it actually goes the route I hoped it would on some of the heavier topics! my only issue is there's one thing towards the end that i do not like :(
-
30. To Each His Own
Japanese Movie - 2017
This movie means a lot to me, and I think everyone should see it at least once. It's a beautiful movie about life and what it means to live, and there definitely is a lot of love between the leads in whatever form it might take
-
31. Wedding Plan
Thai Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
This show made me feel like a straight man who objectifies women except I just kept staring at the main guys chest like I'm sorry I'm no better than a man when it comes to this but he wears tight shirts and I have eyes okay???? No but this show was cute and has lesbians so ofc I'm gonna like it! Even if the mc is dumb af for how he just didn't explain things that would solve all his issues.....
-
32. Companheiros no Amor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This series is short and sweet. The music is really beautiful and episode 4 is truly what sold me. I'm such a sucker for the gentle softness when it comes to intimacy and that episode did it wonderfully! Beautiful soundtrack, beautiful characters, and really well produced? That's all I need! People hated it and that's sad but good thing I'm not people.
-
33. Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo
Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
This is just too sweet and wholesome to hate. I had a little beef at the beginning bc I'm like a cat and hate everything until I warm up to it but yeah this is just so so sweet!!
-
34. Love in the Air
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
idk why i put this here but i mean i did enjoy this show it's like wattpad trashy with a really good cast lmao
-
35. Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
