1. Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
Mesmerising and heartwrenching. Possibly the best BL yet, a must watch. It will stay with me for a very long time.

2. Um Ombro Onde Chorar
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
This is the type of story that makes your heart clench AND hurt good at the same time. I was obsessed from the very first scene - watched the first episode and then spent the night reading all of the manhwa cause I just needed to know how the story ended asap. I loved both characters equally, such dears, I was truly feeling for the both of them. Doe-eyed Taehyun with his tragic history and seemingly unshakable exterior, and fumbling Dayeol with his growing pains and first love musings. So relatable. And don't even get me started on Jaehan and Yechan's performance, so natural and nuanced I still can't believe it's their first acting experience. (Also the soundtrack didn't have to slay so hard.)
Spotlessly tender, heartbreaking, and comforting. I will keep them in my heart.

3. Lutando Contra o Senhor Segundo
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
So far my absolute fave, perfectly delivers all the right emotions. Best couple, they balance each other in the best way. Still stuck here.
-
4. Para Sempre o Primeiro
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
"Opposites attract". Outstanding, loved it so much.

5. KinnPorsche
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
My guilty pleasure. The drama equivalent of a page turner, literally binged it in a night. Beyond brilliant, need at least fifteen seasons. Also - Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat. That's it. That's the tweet.

6. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
What a gem! Loved the overall rom-com tone they used to convey deeper messages of friendship, love and family dynamics. Production is kinda basic compared to similar products but the end result is epic all the same. Yes, the forbidden fruit is always the sweetest! :)

7. Para a Minha Estrela 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I don't have words for this one. K-medias have such a delicate and riveting why of depicting loneliness and insecurities. Very difficult to explain but this felt like watching Season 1 through a magnifying glass, from the other side of the mirror where you can suddenly see all the cracks clear as the day. Also, I'm always a goner for a "coming full circle" type of story telling. More of this, please!

8. O Eclipse
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This one exceeded all my expectations. Plot and romance are woven together seamlessly. Khaotung acting is truly superior.
-
9. Blueming
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
Spellbinding photography and solid chemistry. Wished they explored Da Un character more. Fingers crossed for season 2.
-
10. O Presidente da Minha Escola
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Crying rivers. This is the sweetest, most perfect little thing ever. If there were flaws to this series, they got completely overlooked by how precious, wholesome and delightfully charming this story has been. TinnGun/GunTinn <3333

11. Be My Favorite
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
BMF is like the dark horse of Thai BLs. Unexpected pairing, unexpected acting, unexpected story, yet a win on every front. And that OST, god. I am awed and surprised beyond words. I can't even remember what got me to start it, but I do remember that I finished it in one. single. sitting
My sad gay boy Pisaeng, the greenest of all green flags, he deserves the world <3.

12. Erro Semântico
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Incredible chemistry and exceptional acting. Really liked how they decided to adapt from the original material.
-
13. O Oitavo Sentido
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Heavily influenced by the SKAM format, needless to say: a banger. They had me at hello. Incredibly high rewatch value, although it did make me bite my fingers raw.
-
14. Não Me Abandone Jamais
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
I'm so in love with this. Like, please, do yourself a favour and watch this. Like, I'm writing this when it's not even finished. Every episode is a gem and leaves me with a goofy smile. This show has everything - fluff, danger, action, sizzling chemistry, star-crossed lovers, heartbreaks, family tragedies, a lovely spoiled brat and his hot sworn protector. Like, what's not to love. Like. (*coming back for a final review*)

15. Causa da Morte
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
8.3 - Plot-heavy with gripping development. Chemistry is honestly off the charts. *Insert multiple flame emoticons.* Loved the change of setting from the usual beaches or city romances, the misty woods blend perfectly with the mistery and the more mature tone of the story.
-
16. Nossa Simulação de Namoro
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This has probably one of the best confession scenes everrrrrr. Ugh.
-
17. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Honestly, I'm watching anything as long as Khaotung is in it :').
Also, Heart-Li Ming stole the entire show. Sorry-not sorry but Fourth truly outclassed everyone. In his first acting role. Ha.
-
18. Para Minha Estrela
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
Hwang Da Seul is the gift that keeps on giving. Definitely too short. Thank God we got Season 2!
-
19. Love Tractor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Cute. Cute. Cute.
-
20. Cupcake à Moda Antiga
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
Captivating portrayal of emotions. Surprisingly more mature than I expected, a very much needed change of air from the usual fluffy office romances or the popular school settings.
-
21. Meu Belo Homem
Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Two basket cases that are made for each other. This was truly something else.
-
22. Luz em Mim
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
In short, sweet. Light and deep in all the right places. Da On best boy.
-
23. HIStory3: Armadilha
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
Got mixed feelings about this one. Liked the main plot enough to finish it but fast-forwarded through most of the side stuff. Tang Yi character is top tier (multifaceted, passionate, temperamental, shows growth, purpose and has a convincing background that makes you empathise with him) but the rest is bland and did not manage to captivate my attention. Lots of loose ends and considering the genre I expected something more engrossing (a.k.a. more action).
-
24. TharnType: A série
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Despite the many shortcomings I was actually taken a lot with the story. Considering their very difficult roles, Mew and Gulf's acting is commendable, I could truly feel their characters' love for each other.
-
25. Colegas de Quarto do Poongduck 304
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Kim Jiwoong my love. Only wish the best for you. <3
-
26. Star and Sky: Star in My Mind
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
I mean, overall it was kind of a mess. But tbh I also kind of cried a lot together with Daonuea?? Ha.
-
27. Love in the Air
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
No one's here for the plot. BossNoeul >>>>>>.
-
28. Flores de Cerejeira Depois do Inverno
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
I think this was cute...? Honestly can barely remember anything about the plot despite having red the manhwa as well :/
-
29. Onde Seus Olhos se Prolongam
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
They have such a mature relationship but then they act like children? Like- why!?
