Syria's curated list

Thailand | Enemies to Lovers | SingtoKrist | Youtube

An oldie but goodie. This is one of my fav BLs. It includes lessons and topics that are pretty interesting in my opinion (seniority, abuse of power, hazing, etc.)

Thailand | Friends to Lovers | OffGun | Youtube

This one is a masterpiece from the ost, cinematography, and execution. Revolves around the faculty of communication. Character development is on point!

Thailand | Low-key Flirt x Tsundere | EarthMix | Youtube

The story is the reason I watched and chemistry is what made me stay. For Mix's debut acting in a series, his performance was on point. Watching the bts made me appreciate the show even more. 

Thailand | Friends to Lovers | FlukeFirst | Youtube

Very over the top and hilarious. Tackles shipping culture and its effects. Warning: prepare tissues.

Thailand | Flirt x Tsundere | KaoUp | WeTV

Amazingly written and executed. A writer x actor theme that tackles the reality of Thailand's BL industry. Low-key made fun of irl scandals and issues. Warning: homophobic parents.

Thailand | Twin Switch and Enemies to Lovers | OffGun | Youtube

Treading the line between qeer media and BL. Talks about political issues and third world problems. Pretty intense but is an amazing watch. Amazing acting and cinematography. Will appreciate more when knowing the bts.

Thailand | Teddy bear turned human x owner | InnJob | Netflix

The first BL Thai soap opera (lakorn). It's both wholesome and traumatic. Tackles on, abuse, mental illness, homophobic parents, trauma, broken family relationships, silencing, etc. This is cleansed by it's goofy nature and side couple. Warning: prepare tissues

Japan | Proud x Conservative | Nishijima x Uchino | Netflix

Slice of life drama centered around food. Very wholesome and cute but has some serious moments. Side couple is a bit toxic but they seem happy... Somehow. Good to watch when brain can't take serious plots.

Japan | unrequited love | Keita x Akaso | WeTV

Don't let the title fool you, this is actually very wholesome. It's one of my fav Japanese BLs. Healthy relationships and execution is phenomenal. Chemistry is amazing as well as their acting. Very funny and cute.

Japan | Calm x Panic | Meguro x Michieda | Netflix

Amazing acting and OST. Very fluffy and funny. The gateway to stanning Johnny's Associates (tread at your own risk). Mentions of homophobia and fear of being affectionate in public.

Japan | Mobu x BL Tropes | Inukai | WeTV and Viki

A slice of life (not) BL tackling common BL tropes seen in manga. A very over the top and hilarious take on BL tropes.

Japan | Gay Awakening | Kasukawa x Kura | Viki

A series prequel to "His" the movie. The movie is still understandable without seeing the prequel but I highly suggest you do. The series is sweet and wholesome while the movie is heavy and a lot to handle.

Japan | Classmates to Lovers | Yagi x Hagiwara | Viki

The relationship is slightly toxic but both people are okay with it. Amazing acting and cinematography. The chemistry is also perfection.

Korea | Love triangle | Yoo Seok x Sae On x Chan Yi | WeTV

One of my favorite Korean BLs. The only love triangle that should exist. No frienship lost in this one. Very cute and wholesome. Tackles the issue of internalized homophobia and being outed.

Korea | Enemies to Lovers | Seoham x Jae Chan | Viki (VPN and not free)

Raised the bar of BLs produced in Korea. Amzing chemistry, acting, story, and cinematography. Idols as main characters.

Korea | Soulmates | Hyun Jun x Yoo Jun | Viu (some eps free) and Viki (VPN)

Amazing story and concept. Chemistry is not the best but the visuals and storyline is what made me stay. 

Taiwan | Enemies to lovers | SamYu | WeTV

Amazing acting!!! For debut artists their acting is just phenomenal! Their chemistry as well is perfection! Loved the second season better tbh but, this is stil great.

Taiwan | Enemies to Lovers | AaronHank | WeTV

Very light hearted but at the same time heavy BL. Acting and cinematography is amazing! It's pretty steamy too so... Tackles abandonment and struggle to move on.

Taiwan | Enemies to Lovers | ChrisJake | WeTV

Funny, ridiculous, and really spicy. HIStory 3 is, personally, one of the best all throughout the series. A short little series with nice cinematography and amazing chemistry.
