BL ACTION/HORROR/MAFIA AND OTHER UNUSUAL THEMES
LAST UPDATED: 06/04/24
There are woefully few BL series with action and exciting plots. Here's a list of the ones that exist at the moment. Not every show on this list is necessarily good, but it all breaks the typical slice-of-life/school/work settings. Please let me know if I missed anything.
CATEGORIES:
MAFIA/MAFIA-ESQUE. Criminal organization or family.
CRIME. Illegal activity outside of mafia.
ACTION. Fighting, sparring, chase scenes, murder. This has moments to get your blood pumping for non-smutty reasons.
HORROR. Scary, gory, bloody. Not necessarily all three.
MYSTERY/THRILLER. Intrigue in the plot, even if the story itself is fairly low-key.
SUPERNATURAL. Includes supernatural elements that aren't pushed aside for slice-of-life plots.
SCI-FI/APOCALYPTIC. Visions of the future.
LOW INTENSITY. Has elements listed above, but is slow or doesn't utilize them much.
OTHER NOTES:
REC'D. I recommend it.
HAVEN'T SEEN YET. Included because it looks like it fits or I've been told it fits. Take its placement with a grain of salt.
SECONDARY M/M. Main couple is straight, or gay content isn't as heavily featured.
NOT ON MDL:
- TIEN BROMANCE (VIET) - Mafia, Action, Horror. Haven't Seen Yet.

101. The Tenant
Thai Movie - 2024
UPCOMING, HORROR.
Hasn't aired yet, included based on plot/trailer and may be removed in the future.
NOTE: This might not be BL or even bromance. The company introduced the project as a BL and put out notices to cast for a m/m couple. However, since then, those posts have vanished and there's no trace of any m/m romance in the trailer. I'll keep it on here for now, but it'll be removed if there's nothing gay in it.
