BL Masterlist Ranked (All countries)

This is my complete masterlist ranking of every BL I've watched from the following countries: Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Philippines and Mainland China. (Hopefully MDL adds Vietnamese dramas here eventually so I can add those too one day)!
This is my personal ranking of each drama depending on how much I generally enjoyed each from best to worst. My ratings may differ a bit from my overall numbered ranking as there are often obvious flaws with a show where I still overall enjoyed the show a lot. (Plus some are just guilty pleasures that may not necessarily be a "good" show lol).

Note that some shows included like Friendzone and the Shipper aren't fully BL shows- but I'm rating the BL component here. (I will mark these in the comments/notes for each).

FYI since I can't add Vietnamese dramas in the actual list- here's a list of what I've watched ranked (I'll add more as I find them):
Good Series:
Follow my Sunshine (Rating - 8.5) - Production and styling is delightful in this one.
Tiến Bromance: Sea Him The Series (Rating - 7)
The Most Peaceful Place Is My Place - 7
My Lascivious Boss (ÔNG CHỦ, ĐỪNG ĐẾN ĐÂY) - 6.5

Ok/Average Series:
Nation's Brother (Rating - 6)
SOL - Stage of Love (Rating - 6)
My Brother (6)
Stupid Boys Stupid Love (6)
You are ma Boy (6)
Mr. Cinderella (6)
My Sky (5)
Neighbour Guy (4)

  • Como Nos Filmes

    1. Como Nos Filmes

    Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    10

    Overall heartfelt and pure, wholesome romance.

  • Causa da Morte

    2. Causa da Morte

    Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes

    9.0

    Chemistry between Max and Tul is hot af as usual. The main crime plot line is a little boring and unrealistic at times- but I'm rating for the BL component here.

  • Eu Não

    3. Eu Não

    Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes

  • O Romancista

    5. O Romancista

    Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes

    8.0

    A very mature and convoluted story. I think the reason this is so good is mostly due to the nuance and skill in Takezai Terunosuke's acting. I found this one interesting and seductive where I expected to hate it after reading the synopsis. 

  • Adrenalina de Cores

    6. Adrenalina de Cores

    Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    9.0

    Really interesting concept- very unique BL. Absolutely loved!

  • Gay OK Bangkok

    7. Gay OK Bangkok

    Thai Drama - 2016, 5 episodes

    8.5

    Think like the Thai version of Queer as Folk or Sex and the City (but with Gay men). A more realistic, adult take that I would more class as mature LGBT+ storytelling rather than "BL".

  • Para Minha Estrela

    8. Para Minha Estrela

    Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes

    9.5
  • Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area

    9. Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area

    Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    7.5

    I'm rating the BL component of the show here but note it's an ensemble cast show with multiple straight couples. This show has the spicy OTT drama I live for- much more fun than the first season. The episode opening and ending tracks are great and go perfectly with the vibes of the show.

  • HIStory3: Armadilha

    10. HIStory3: Armadilha

    Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes

    8.5
  • Há Quanto Tempo

    Korean Drama - 2017, 5 episodes

    8.5
  • Um Conto de Mil Estrelas

    13. Um Conto de Mil Estrelas

    Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    8.0

    Heartfelt, wholesome story with a setting outside the BL college campus/highschool.

  • Luz em Mim

    14. Luz em Mim

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    7.5
  • Diário de Tootsies

    15. Diário de Tootsies

    Thai Drama - 2016, 12 episodes

    8.0

    More of a comedy with LGBT+ chars than a true BL drama. Hilarious but note there's only one real "BL" couple you will swoon over here. Enjoyable and funny overall.

  • Meet Me Outside

    16. Meet Me Outside

    Filipino Drama - 2020, 6 episodes

    8.0

    Short and sweet!

  • Cheat The Series

    The story is ridiculous but this series is HOT.

  • Friend Zone

    20. Friend Zone

    Thai Drama - 2018, 12 episodes

    7.0

    I'm rating the BL component of the show here but note it's an ensemble cast show with multiple straight couples. Loved the drama of the BL love triangle. 

  • Boys' Lockdown

    21. Boys' Lockdown

    Filipino Drama - 2020, 6 episodes

    7.5

  • Mood Indigo

    23. Mood Indigo

    Japanese Drama - 2019, 6 episodes

    7.0

    Very adult subject material. Some very HOT scenes. Gives much needed context to the Novelist/The Pornographer.

  • Nós Três Sobreviveremos

    24. Nós Três Sobreviveremos

    Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

    8.5

    Note this is an ensemble cast show with a BL component.

  • 2gether: A Série

    25. 2gether: A Série

    Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes

    7.0
  • Dark Blue Kiss

    26. Dark Blue Kiss

    Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    6.5

    Still the only Thai BL drama where I like watching the intro. Pretty decent BL- recommend watching the BL cut of Kiss Me again before watching this.

  • Ele Está Vindo Para Mim

    27. Ele Está Vindo Para Mim

    Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    7.5

  • Gay OK Bangkok 2

    30. Gay OK Bangkok 2

    Thai Drama - 2017, 7 episodes

    7.0

    Didn't charm me as much as the first season and a bit slow at times, but I love the real life topics and approach taken with this season.

  • Teoria do Amor

    31. Teoria do Amor

    Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    6.5

    A bit overhyped in IMO with a lot of boring crying scenes- but there's some cute scenes in there!

  • TharnType: A série

    32. TharnType: A série

    Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    7.0

    Chemistry between the MLs is fire, but be warned the story takes a 180 towards the end and is terrible IMO.  Warning- lack of consent issues here as well.

  • Ton Hon Chon Tee

    33. Ton Hon Chon Tee

    Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes

  • The Shipper

    35. The Shipper

    Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes

    7.0

    More of a body swap series with a minor BL component- but still pretty fun to watch. Be warned- the ending is lacklustre. Ohm is wonderful here!

    41. Beije-me Novamente

    Thai Drama - 2018, 14 episodes

    6.0

    Note this is an ensemble cast show with multiple straight couples. I'm only rating the BL component here. Heads up that this is where you'll see the backstory of PeteKao in preparation for watching Dark Blue Kiss.
    GMMTV were kind enough to upload a PeteKao scene cut of the show on youtube so I recommend just watching that!

  • Second Chance

    42. Second Chance

    Thai Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

  • Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você

    43. Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você

    Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes

    Overhyped af but the soft romantic energy of the first eps is lovely. Very melodramatic.

  • Hello Stranger

    44. Hello Stranger

    Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    6.5
  • Diário de Tootsies 2

    45. Diário de Tootsies 2

    Thai Drama - 2017, 12 episodes

    6.5

    Sadly not as charming, funny or good as the first season. My ship did not sail so I am still a bit salty about this one.

  • Bangkok Love Stories: Inocência

    46. Bangkok Love Stories: Inocência

    Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes

    6.5

    Note this is an ensemble cast show with multiple straight couples. I'm only rating the BL component here. Max Nattapol (from Together with me) is here surprisingly as one of the BL leads- but I really enjoyed the other male BL lead (Ten) in this one tbh. Ten is in Gay Ok Bangkok as well and he just has such sincerity and subtlety to his acting & expressions that I just love watching him.
    There are some good scenes with Max and Ten but the couple's resolution is a bit lacklustre. 

  • Peixe no Céu

    47. Peixe no Céu

    Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    49. Minha Ferramenta e o seu Jaleco

    Pawin is great but this drama is overall pretty dull and lacklustre. The number of eps should have been halved.

    Wholesome af and an interesting concept. Pretty PG though. I didn't find this as groundbreaking as others.

  • Quaranthings

    54. Quaranthings

    Not bad but production is pretty average.

  • Academia de Ótimos Homens

    55. Academia de Ótimos Homens

    Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    Not bad- storyline is a bit weird tbh with sort of body swapping. Discovered Jayler here though so I am not complaining. Ending also surprised me in a pleasant way!

    This series has its issues is objectively "not good" (see my review if you want details)- but I actually really enjoyed the last four eps as their own cute, standalone romance story.

  • 2 Moons A Série

    72. 2 Moons A Série

    Thai Drama - 2017, 12 episodes

    6.0

    I found this pretty average and overhyped af. Not sure why people loved this one so much. I found it boring overall and the story pacing moved at a glacial pace. (Seriously do we really need an entire series to prepare for one school event?). This has one of my fave scenes ever in a BL though in ep 7. The "three tops" scene is one of the most hilarious BL scenes ever IMO.

    6.0

    This series is a bunch of short skit type episodes centred around several young gay men. Some skits are pretty dated and unfunny- but some are hilarious. Heads up- check out the Samet Island special eps for some hot af NC scenes. The actors do not look like they're just acting there ;)

    Hard to get through with immoral, unlikable characters. (Some hot NC/kissing scenes though).

  • Viciado

    82. Viciado

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 15 episodes

    6.0

    I feel like this one is a bit overhyped. It's just ok in my opinion, but I found it pretty creepy (eg. non-consent scenes & stalker vibes at times). Not really sure why people rate this so highly other than both the male leads are really good actors and are really attractive.

  • HIStory: Fique Longe de Mim

    83. HIStory: Fique Longe de Mim

    Just ok, pretty vanilla and forgettable take on the stepbrothers to lovers trope

  • Desejando Você

    Ok but so forgettable I barely remember it.

  • Onde Seus Olhos se Prolongam

    86. Onde Seus Olhos se Prolongam

    Not bad but pretty over-rated/overhyped IMO. I don't feel the chemistry and the story is lacklustre.

  • Desejo A Você: Sua Melodia Do Meu Coração

    The main lead is adorable and believable but the love interest is bland (minimal chemistry imo). I found this pretty meh overall.

  • Junto Comigo: O Próximo Capítulo

    Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes

    4.0

    Ok this is terrible. I did not like the first season, but this one is even worse. So much cheating smh. I will say the whole setup ep where they get revenge against the main "antagonist" for the season is hilarious and a thing of beauty tbh (think montage of three hot male leads seducing someone shirtless levels of perfection). I left this feeling much more amused than I should have because of that one episode. Overall this is pretty bad though. Max and Tul are hot as ever though.
