BL dramas I watched
(in no particular order)
-
1. O Indomável
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
I won't comment on this. This drama (and novel) changed my life and I'm not even joking. This drama and the characters mean so much to me. The best drama I ever watched. The soundtrack, like whoever mad it I'll kiss them fr. The casting is so fucking perfect!
-
2. Um Conto de Mil Estrelas
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
The romance in this was close to being nonexistant, and I didn't mind it one bit. I liked it even. The focus on the plot and characterisation and healing was amazing, but I understand that some people find that boring. The romance was built into the plot, rather that the plot being built around the romance. It made it more realitic, somehow. Like the romance was a byproduct, instead of the focus, or a definite goal. This is one of the dramas you start because of romance, but stay for the plot. One of the best dramas I watched (in general).

3. Último Desejo do Cupido
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I'm still salty about the name, I don't understand why they named it like that. The name's corny and could only drive people off instead of driving them in. The production was amazing and the acting was superb. (In my notes I wrote that there were some illogicalities but I can't remember there being any? I'll see once I rewatch it.) Body switch dramas/films make me kinda iffy, but this was so amazingly done.

4. Até nos Encontrarmos Novamente: A Série
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
The first bl I watched so it'll always have a place in my heart. I remember I cryed a lot watching it. It was worth it, though. It's still on my list of the best bl's i watched. I also found this beautiul song by watching this <3 Every time I hear it I always feel like I'm going to start crying, in a (half) good way...

5. Peach of Time
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
The rating is too low for how the good the drama is. The plot and the characters were really well developed. the synopsis, however, didn't give ot justice; I almost didn't watch the drama because of it. The ending broke me, like i cried so much. Very bittersweet.
-
6. Adrenalina de Cores
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
This was such a fresh concept, I really enjoyed it. The first time I watched it, I didn't understand the whay they made it into an obsession instead pure romance, but as I rewatched it, I got it. I liked it more as an obsession because it made sense. It's not the healthiest relationship but it's not supposed to be and it's not really portrayed as such. The characters were suprisingly likeable. To everyone saying the acting of that one guy was robotic clearly didn't watch the drama as you're supposed to, nor did they understand it. With the personality of the character, it made sense. At least to me.

7. Blueming
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
Not special in a way that makes you clearly remember it, but once you watch it, you won't be able to forget it. The message was nice and the story refreshing. It talked about some things in a mature way which was not something I expected from a short drama. Generally, Korean dramas are a sort of a break from the "same-mold" thai dramas.
-
8. Onde Seus Olhos se Prolongam
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
I don't have to comment on it. One of the best BLs despite it being really short. The plot is kept minimal so that their relationship can progress yet it never seemed plotless. Their chemistry was amazing and the friends to lovers trope was amazingly executed.
-
9. Triagem
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
This was way better that I expected it to be. The plot was amazing and I think the medical terms were fairly accurate for this type of a drama. Or any drama, really.
-
10. Causa da Morte
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
People keep saying their chemistry was amazing, but I really didn't feel it. I don't know why but it never seemed like there was any romance in this. It was kept minimal. I loved the plot, though. I was really invested in it and couldn't wait for them to finally catch the bad guys. Loved it more for the plot, than for what-was-supposed-to-be romance.
-
11. Contei ao pôr do sol sobre você
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
By far, one of the best dramas I watched. Everything about it is so perfect, I can't pinpoint exactly why I loved it so much. Perhaps a mixture of everything that makes this drama what it is - the characters, the plot and the emotions and struggles they portrayed. Everything was so beautiful in this, even the "ugly" parts. This drama means so much to me. The underwater kiss scene T^T also, Oh is such a prescious character
-
12. Eu Te Prometi a Lua
Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
Like the first part, this was amazing. I was so frustrated with Teh, but i couldn't hate him, because I understood where his emotions were coming from. Even though i didn't like them i understood his actions. The acting was so incredible, they didn't need to say a thing, a look at their faces was enough.
-
13. Sr. Coração
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Short and sweet. Exactly what a short drama should be. Everything was so well developed. The short, curly-haired by was so cute ^-^
-
14. My DNA Says I Love You
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
I would die for Amber.
I don't know how to praise this enough. A really beautiful drama. The acting was amazing, the soundtrack was beautiful... everything about this was great. It was a bit predictable but I think it only kinda added to the plot.
-
15. Para Sempre o Primeiro
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
The stereotypical enemies to lovers, college(?) setting, but, like, done in an original way. If that akes sense. I really, really liked it. The chemistry was great and the acting,,, god the acting. (especially in the second part).
-
16. Lutando Contra o Senhor Segundo
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
I love how it got more mature. The office setting fit more to them then the college setting. The charatcers were more mature, yet still acted kinda childish, but the adult kind of childish? i liked it for that reason, it made them more real. The tension between them was amazing and the chemisty even better than the first part. (I didn't like the second couple though. I skipped all their parts when I rewatched it.)

17. Gameboys Level-Up Edition
Filipino Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
-
18. 2gether: A Série
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
I can write a lot of shit about this but I can't be bothered to even type any of that. Supposed to be watched with absolutely no expectation and with half a brain. Do not question anything and for the love of god do not think about what you watched. Because once you actually start thinking about it you'll realise it's a bad show.
-
19. Still 2gether
Thai Special - 2020, 5 episodes
I only watched this because I did so immediatrely after I watched the first part and had not time to think about what I watched. It was slightly better that the first part but that's it. Like in the first part, a lot of plotholes, bad characterisation and shit happening just to build a plot.

27. Escritor Adorável
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
-
28. Why R U? : The Series
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
This was just bad. Really boring. The first drama I actually had to speed up because I just couldn't do it anymore. And I didn't even watch all the parts, I only watched the Tutor x Fighter storyline
-
29. Há Quanto Tempo
Korean Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
The plot was a bit too ambitious for something that short, but other that that, this was really good. They showed more that just an awkward kiss which was refreshing and added to their relationship.
-
30. Seja Amado em Casa: Eu Aceito
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
-
31. Você Me Faz Dançar
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
-
32. Mecânica do Amor
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I feel like I already watched this, and I don't mean this in a good way. I basically had to force myself to watch the last few episodes. Clishe, but not in an original or interesting way. The production was great, I could see they put an effort into this but regardles, this was not a good watch. The plot was almost prefictable, but in a way I could recite to you what was goung to happen and I would have an 80% chane of being right. The characters had no depth and some of their actions made no sense.
-
33. A Primeira História De Amor
Korean Special - 2021, 2 episodes
-
34. Desejo A Você: Sua Melodia Do Meu Coração
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Really, really short but cute.
-
35. Nós Três Sobreviveremos
Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
Poly rep <3
Like, this would be a 9.5 or a 10 drama but the ending and the clothes kinda ruined it for me. They weren't badly drressed, per see? but that's kinda the point. They should have been. they looked like they were wearing designer clothes which were supposed to be bought from the thrift store? Just no. Also they for some reason had an outfit change multiple times throught Each episode. Which is just unrealistic.
-
36. Summerdaze
Korean Special - 2018, 1 episode
-
37. O Garoto da Porta ao Lado
Korean Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
This was so lighthearted and funny. Definitelly a nice, short watch.
-
38. Ingredients
Thai Special - 2020, 21 episodes
this was low budget but was develooped better than some high budget dramas. their chemistry was amazing, better than that of some popular ships i saw people praise. some of the episodes were really cute.
-
39. Como Nos Filmes
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
This was made for queer people, for the closeted ones and the ones questioning. It's obvious with the mesage they wanted to convey.
-
40. Sobre Juventude
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
This was a really nice watch. It actually made me feel emotions while watching it, I think that shows how good it actually is. It does deal with some clishes but you can't really tell they're clishes as you are watching it. The characters are really sweet and the way they go about their feelings and relationship is really refreshing - no omg am I gay or how can I like a dude. Just feelings and acceptance.
-
41. Colegas de Quarto do Poongduck 304
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
This was honestly quite a good drama. Their banter was really amuzing. The enemies to lovers kiind of a thing they pulled was well done. It's not the best drama out there but it's definetly a nice watch.
-
42. Sr. Azarado Não Tem Escolha Senão Beijar!
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
My first Japanese BL lol.
It was really cute, honestly. There were some cringe scenes tha I think were supposed to be funny but idk... The unhinged flirting was such a nice suprise tho, I'm sick of seeing the same shy, can't-comunicate couples. Idk what the name of the second main lead was but he was really cute and flirty
-
43. Red Balloon
Taiwanese Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
This was beautiful. Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I cried a lot at the last episode. The ost though, like jesus that one song is the reason I cried so hard on the last episode. I saw someone say this was unoriginal, but I have to disagree. It doesn't matter how many times people make content on the same theme, each one of it is different in it's own way. I have watched I think two dramas that give off the same energy or talk about the same things but each of them is different in execution, emotions and plot. The reason they're similar is because they take a realistic, repeating detail of real life and make it into a show. Things like this have happened in real life and still happen. If you didn't like this, you are looking for a shallow drama to see boys kissing.
-
44. Meu Belo Homem
Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
This was fucking amazing wtf. I didn't expect this to be this good. I loved how this all played out, the characters were really well developed, their actions were consistent and made sense considering their personaity. I loved the slight obsession, one that didn't go overboard but was still present.
-
45. A Saborosa Flórida
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
I'm never reading reviews again lol. I don't know why everyone was shitting on this when it's a good drama. It's short so idk what kind of expectations did people have regarding the plot, but it was much better than I expected. Yoo Hwan's acting was really good. In conclusion, it was cute and short, not the best drama out there but definitely not as bad as I have seen people review it.

46. Love Tractor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

47. O Presidente da Minha Escola
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
I had a lot to say about this but mdl doesn't let you add coments to lists on a tablet so by now I have mostly forgotten what I wanted to say about it. It wasn't bas, not the best I watched but still, compared to some bl dramas I tried... I really like how the other ml was so sure of his crush, like those sort of things are really refreshing, no more repressed feelings or how can I like a man. Their chemistry was good too. The only thing I remember being annoyed about was how apparently they all love music, yet never talk about it and never even mention anything music related; no vocab used by people who know ahat they are talking about, nothing. It just made it seem like the script writer was too lazy to include such details or do some research on music related things. People who play the guitar know what kinds of guitars exist, they know the notes and chords - people who play an instrument know the terminology and use it, but it's clear the script writer doesn't and didn't care enough to include it. It made the whole band thing appear really shallow.

48. Palavra de Honra
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
I cried so effing hard watching this (not a sad ending tho), like this broke me, it's been days and I'm still thinking about this drama. PLotwise, I'd say it's not as good as, let's say The Untamed, but it's stll really enjoyable. I still keep wondering how this passed c-censorship, like all the flirting??
