My BL shows

Cliffhanger ending was unexpected.

HR nightmare of CEO dating his intern? As much as Cher and Gun tried to keep their romance secret, everyone seemed to know anyway.

We deserve a Season 2.

Body transformation, supernatural.

Hardly anyone talks about it, but I think it's an underrated show. 

Cute and fluffy with married couple Porsch Apiwat Apiwatsayree and Arm Sappanyoo Panatkool playing Ai's parents.

Sequel to Ai Long Nhai 

An unusual show where the ML wakes up within a game and must complete certain missions in a given timeframe. Incredibly well-acted and well-produced.

TW: Suicide

 Censored Adaptation Of Same-sex Original Work 

Cut short due to censorship. BTS found on YouTube are plentiful and entertaining, showing this was far from bromance.

MLs families have been enemies even before they were born, and they are next-door neighbors. Rivals to lovers trope that's well done. Episode 5 rooftop scene was epic.

I didn't feel like this added anything to the original series. 

Far from perfect but I really enjoyed this one with First playing the more serious/reserved character. Ja was the fun, immature college student which he played perfectly.

Pisaeng = green flag boyfriend

Leads had excellent chemistry.  One of the few BL series that mentions counseling and medication for treating depression. I was pretty impressed.
TW: Childhood abuse, sexual harassment

Fluffy story

Cute story, absolute fan service for OnlyOneOf fans.

A small town has an unusual number of deaths and the medical examiner starts investigating. MaxTul are the BL kings and I'm glad they left left us MoD as part of their legacy.
TW: violence, drug abuse

A wonderful adaptation of the Japanese 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii but they made it truly Thai. The leads, who always have amazing chemistry, did not disappoint. I have a very slight preference for the Thai version.  Available on Viu.com while in Thailand or with a VPN to Thailand.

also known as Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 

Sequel to 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii 

RomCom, Fantasy

This was interesting to me from the start. And I really liked how it ended.

This is one of the best coming of age LGBTQ+ stories I have seen. Set in Phuket, the scenery is breath-taking. It's well-acted, well-directed, and I loved it. In Teh, we have a character confused about his sexuality as he finds himself attracted to his long-term crush Tan and to Oh-aew, his former best friend with whom he has recently reunited. TW: This emotional drama is not your typical BL.

On-hold (lost interest for now)

So, so cute!!

High school setting, bullying, social class differences.

Prequel: Kiss Me Again: Pete-Kao 

NC scenes were nicely done

Excellent chemistry between the leads, found family, forbidden love. Steamy NC scene.

What happens when the heads of rivals dorms fall for each other? How long can they keep it a secret from their friends? Great chemistry between the leads and episode 10's NC scene was hot.

Side story to Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 

Arranged marriage trope. The leads have amazing chemistry. The second couple have a weird relationship that's not properly explained, but we get their back story in Naughty Babe. 

Mystery, Romance, Drama, Supernatural. Emotional.

This was a spin-off of Until We Meet Again and is Win and Team's story. There's undeniable attraction between them but they are in this uncertain stage in their relationship for a long time because of how it all started.
TW: Childhood trauma

Opposites attract in a university setting.

Twins White and Black have a psychic connection. When Black ends up in the hospital, White takes his place to find out who hurt him. Action, Thriller, Mystery

This is the sequel to ITSAY. It's a roller coaster ride for your emotions, but if you recall your college years and all the bad decisions you made, maybe you'll sympathize with the characters a little better. They're in their late teens to early 20s, and they don't communicate well. As a budding actor, Teh is being ruled by his emotions and passion. Oh-aew has a group of loyal friends who made me laugh and made me cry. TW: infidelity

This is an incredible BL, full of details and "clues" about the MLs' growing closeness, from the posters and artwork on the walls and the color schemes of clothing, lighting, etc. You can search for the Reddit on-air discussions for additional details, which was esp. useful for me on culture/language insights. SWM was adapted from book 1 of the novel "Are You Addicted?" by Chai Ji Dan, who was the screenwriter for this drama. Sadly, we're not getting the promised Season 2.

MLs live in the same home but rarely hang out. High school to college romance.

This could have been better. It had an interesting premise, but went downhill once we found out what happened to Blue.

TW: High school trauma.

The MLs were stepbrothers for a very brief time. As adults, they are still hounded by their past which continue to encroach into their present. 

TW: One ML has prior trauma from his idol trainee days

Nothing new with the plot, but I'm a fan of the leads who always have great chemistry.

A dramatic show with a child custody battle, but it was engaging and heartwarming.

A summer romance that's incredibly sweet. Prequel to the movie His.

I fall for Mafia stories. I thoroughly enjoyed my binge-watch. We deserve a Season 2

Probably one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Great production and the leads' chemistry, from lingering touches and looks, are on point. You'll want to watch it just for the olive oil.

Looking forward to Season 2.

High school gang leader falls for his tutor. Great redemption arc.

A long-term couple have a fight leading to a break-up, causing one of them to run out. That night, he gets into an accident and upon waking has amnesia, but only forgetting his partner. His partner takes him back to their home and only tells him they were roommates.

I don't know why I assumed this was just another fluffy BL. It turned to be more than that.
TW: Internalized homophobia

Workplace setting; HR nightmare, but funny and they're cute together.

A one-night stand between best friends leads to conflict between them.

You don't need to watch Bad Romance The Series to watch this sequel.
TW: infidelity

Set in 1930s and 1940s, Romance, Fantasy, Drama (I would say melodramatic, esp. for Song’s first and second wives). Thian has been groomed to take over the family business, but he has a secret that is costing lives. I love the relationship between brothers Yang and Thian.

aka I Only Want to Keep Looking at You. A sweet, youth romance.

TW: violence, Stockholm syndrome

Perfect mafia story and the second couple is just as awesome as the first.
TW: age gap between the first MLs didn't bother me but may ick other people out

Prequel to Dark Blue Kiss 

Interesting fated mates concept that went downhill IMO.

The last two episodes caused quite a commotion when they aired. I was happy with the ending, but I can see why some people may have felt Mhok got the short end of the stick. With regards to the other controversy, I was happy with the screenwriter's/director's choice. I thought it was realistic.

I love Film and Jam. Film as Charn was epic.
TW: Death of family member

Currently watching (on-hold)

If you enjoy NC scenes, this one's for you.
TW: Second couple ML has SA trauma.

Leads have great chemistry

Just a different version of the first 3 episodes

TW: infidelity
