Thai BL ranked

I can't explain this one.

Mainly for Heart and Li Ming.

Grey characters galore.

Pure, condensed drama.

Gun was great as Black because of his eternal emotionless face, but not so much as White. Still a cool BL with graver themes than usual.

Ohm and old Singto are my weaknesses.

Loved the idea, didn't love the actor playing the doctor. Still quite good.

I love it and hate it at the same time because let’s be real, it only works because of the actors.

Hyper solid first half, then goes to shit.

Single-handedly fixed everything that I didn't like about the Japanese version AND proved me that Tay and New can look in love and not just like they're going to punch each other.

Love them so much.

Trope fest, guilty pleasure number one. It's so serious and unserious at the same time.

Can't remember why I liked it so much but I did.

They made music-themed Thai high school BL bearable and that's no small feat.

What can I say, I love to cry.

I can't explain this one either.

It’s called 4Minutes because you see the main couple 4 minutes per episode, which results in a relationship development so rushed you’ll think you missed scenes. Visually gorgeous though and might tickle your fancy if you liked Triage and Manner of Death. TW: in-your-face/boring sex scenes and Thai BL clichés like matching merch plushies that really don’t match the overall vibe.

Good, but there was something missing. Felt a bit stilted?

Borderline unserious and I love that for them.

Green flags and pecs parade.

I have a thing for unresolved tension and bad CGI.

Fantasy, action, detective, and romance all mixed together should have been my ultimate dream but their execution of some of those genres were a miss for me.

Mainly for Ben and Chopper.

Alright, listen. Listen. Yes, I know. But the chemistry... the chemistry!!

I will only say one thing: they're lucky the couple is cute.

Cute.

Now we're reaching a point in this ranking where I don't remember enough about the dramas to write a clever comment.

I think I gave it 7 to match the title?

The second to last episode is a nostalgia masterpiece, the rest ranges from weird to kinda cute.

This could have been so much better, damn it.

Absolute. Wasted. Potential. They could have created so much more heartbreaking, bittersweet, meaningful drama with the time travelling.

Wasted potential, part deux.

Cute but got boring towards the end.

A bit boring all the way through.

Miscast and misstyling of the century for the role of Charlie. Nut was RIGHT THERE. Pavel and the second couple did nothing wrong though.

The contrast between a homophobia-induced-double-suicide-reincarnation storyline and "funny" sound effects is too much for me.

Uneven as all hell. Great cinematography, awful script. Awesome first main actor, appalling second main actor. (I don't need to specify who is which.)

Guilty pleasure numero due.

Somehow one of the worst BLs of 2023 despite having both Chimon and Perth as main actors, which should be classified as a crime. The first two episodes were perfection, then we entered a parallel universe. Second couple can get it though. 

Guilty pleasure, III.

The main couple gives buddies, with one of them always looking angry even when they kiss. Second couple is alright. Plot is MIA.

Their one and only passable drama.

Never thought I'd say this but... sometimes just two handsome men kissing isn't enough. The actresses playing Vivi and the little girl were good though!

I think I just don’t like cooking-centered series, especially when they bring nothing new to the table like this one. Second couple was cutie though.

Going through the motions, the series.

The je ne sais quoi they had in Star in my Mind is gone.

Another one that could have been so much better, especially with the meta aspect. Forever mad that the second couple didn't make it and never featured in any other BL together.

5 of those 6 points are for Pawin's face.

Ridiculous in the best and worst ways possible.

??? OffGun blink if you need help??? Neo and his partner can carry on though, goddaym.

An excuse for smut. (Second couple has a bit of my heart, I'll admit.)

A for effort and Max’s anti-aging routine!

ZZZZZZZZZZ

#1 Bromance drama with "nothing happening" as a subgenre.

Wack, and not necessarily in a good way.

Uncomfortable, but it launched Perth I guess...

Can I just ask... why?

Major let down. There just wasn't enough material for a full-length series.

Didn't see the point, didn't get the point, still looking for the point.

What the fuck even. I'll give them props for one thing: both couples can act in love with each other.

Just awful, and not in a funny way.

I know I gave this a low rating, and it's deserved, but when I tell you I was obsessed with Puth and Kaeng, I-

Lured me in with paranormal BL promises and now I'm pissed because it was just a big heap of nothing.

W H Y

Please retire this couple. PLEASE.

How to be a terribad actor in 8 episodes, by Gun Napat. Second couple was semi-cute, semi-cringe.

... I've got nothing. Just like the drama!

I don't even know. Somehow worse than Something in my Room.

I have no mouth and I must scream. Hesitant clapping for daring this, I guess?

Singto, baby, are you ok?

World's greatest cringe festival.

Ah never mind, here's the greatest one.

Oops my bad, this is the one!
