BL Dramas, Specials, & Short Films I've Watched
These are all the BL dramas (plus some special episodes and short films) I've watched since 2017. I excluded 1) Censored BL dramas like The Untamed, 2) Dramas where the gay couple is just a side couple like Kiss Me Again, and 3) Dramas with gender swaps such as Great Men Academy.
Sorry if some of my comments are too mean but I'm genuinely tired of BLs having crappy stories and annoying characters.
-
1. Porque Você É Meu Garoto
Thai Drama - 2018, 12 episodes
Nothing made sense at the end.
-
2. (Not That) Innocent
Taiwanese Special - 2021, 1 episode
Just the main characters of the main drama having a wet dream.
-
3. 180 Graus de Longitude Entre Nós
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
A perfect example of the types of stories and dramas that don't grab my attention despite being considered "masterpieces" by others.
-

Thai Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
I tortured myself by watching all the episodes in one day; I truly hated it.

Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
This remake was a blessing even if it wasn't perfect.

Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
The shift of POV was the most interesting part.
-

Even if it kind of went downhill in the last 2 - 3 episodes, it still was a solid drama.
-
8. 2Wish
Thai Special - 2019, 2 episodes
It was a cute special episode but nothing worth talking about.

Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Most memorable thing? The NC scenes; the rest was a mess.
-

Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
I'm a bad writer, but not even I would have written something like this.

Korean Special - 2021, 2 episodes
So much fluff that it doesn't matter that there is no plot.

Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
Another high school drama that failed to make me like it.

-
15. Sobre Juventude
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

16. Absolute Zero
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

It was draggy but at least both couples were cute enough to make up for the lack of development.

If you expect to see more of the main couple, let me tell you that it won't happen.
