BL Dramas & Movies
BL draws my intention because it tends to show a romantic intimacy lacking in many main stream shows. Like in any genre, finding a drama or romantic comedy with an interesting storyline, that is well told and thoughtfully cast can be a bit, ‘hit and miss’.
Being from Australia, I wasn’t exposed to all the promotional hoopla that surrounds the BL world in Asian countries. And having English as my only language means my ability to enjoy these shows is affected by the quality of the subtitles. I needed to search and read through numerous posts and websites to find the stories of interest to me and the avenues available to me, to watch them. So I’ve developed this list in hope it might guide others to find what they prefer.
Please note only stories I have watched will be on this list. I will also endeavour to write comments about my reasons for my rating; however I won’t rewrite the synosis.
-
101. Não Me Abandone Jamais
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This one has good and bad points. I’m not sure where it was the direction or the script that held this back.
-
102. Our Skyy 2: Never Let Me Go
Thai Special - 2023, 2 episodes
Enjoyable sequel, of the fluffy kind.

103. Cerimônia de Casamento do Ryu Sun Bi

104. Eu Não

More adult production. Recommend.
-
105. Sem Arrependimentos
Korean Movie - 2006
Adult gay film. Prostitution. Made me uncomfortable, but that was probably the point. No rating because it’s so different. Would I recommend, probably not … on the flip side, it’s probably more realistic … sad to say.

Much better options in my opinion; however it is the second part of the series.
-
130. Our Skyy 2: A Tale of Thousand Stars

Really enjoyed this.
-
131. Our Skyy 2: A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Special - 2023, 1 episode
-
132. TharnType: A série
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
My favourite BL series. Tharn is type of character its so easy to fall for as a viewer. Throughout the series it addresses many of the issues dealt with by the gay community.
-
133. TharnType 2
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
-
134. TharnType 2 Special 2

Gentle movie, full of long glances.
-
136. The Sign

Mixed feelings about this one. Script was bad. Direction not good. Wouldn’t recommend, but I did watch it til the end.
-
137. To Be Continued
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Enjoyed
-
138. Junto Comigo: A Série
Thai Drama - 2017, 13 episodes
Very under-rated series. Has heterosexual relationships as well amongst the main cast, giving a more realistic reflection of society. Not a fan of the Bright & Farm relationship, although relationships come in many forms not always healthy. Must admit, Max is a favourite of mine.
-
139. Junto Comigo: O Próximo Capítulo
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
-
140. Para Minha Estrela
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
A series that is a little different. One character is open and communicative and the other is closed off and suppresses his emotions to the point it’s difficult to accept this behaviour; although my opinion here is probably affected by my lack of understanding the culture/lifestyle in Korea.
-
141. Para a Minha Estrela 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
-
142. Noite Inesquecível
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Nearly stopped watching after the first episode, it got better. Infatuated lead, who’s honest with and pursuant of his love.
-
143. Unintentional Love Story
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Really enjoyed this adult story line … like most Korean BLs it’s vanilla, but lacks nothing because of this.
-
144. Desconhecido
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
A must watch for any BL fan.
-
145. O Indomável
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
I’ve fallen in love with this story. Love the development of this couple of pure souls, who were cast perfectly. I needed to rewatch after knowing more about Lan Zan character.
I would have preferred having some of the fighting scenes better edited down.
-
146. Até nos Encontrarmos Novamente: A Série
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
Provided a range of emotions. Has darker storyline. Worth watching in my opinion.
-
147. Between Us Special
Thai Special - 2021, 6 episodes
Love these
-
148. Entre Nós
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

Japanese Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
I smile, cringe and roll my eyes at this one, but glad to have watched it.

Japanese Movie - 2023
This series got better with every instalment. Wish they’d make more.
-

Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Comedy drama. Brother was my favourite character. Can’t get access to special episode.

153. Vice Versa

This drama is a set apart by its unique storyline; which has numerous subplots, both light and philosophical.

-
160. Why R U? Korean Remake
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
First BL that I’ve seen cut out everything unnecessary. Cute, funny, satisfying.
