BL/Gay Dramas
-
1. Sobre Juventude
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Amazing performances throughout; awesome OST (Take It Away 真的太好聽了); good pacing; overall I'd have to say the BEST BL drama of all time (I have not yet watched HIStory so maybe that'll change but as of May 2024, I have to say this is the best thing I've watched). It's also extremely adorable and cute!

2. Stand by Your Side
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
The amount of kissing in this show was what really put it on the list (plus the OST; 【牛頓與蘋果真的很好聽】!). This is more like an honorary mention than an actual position on the list but yes watch it if you are interested!

3. Stay by My Side Extra Episodes
Taiwanese Special - 2024, 1 episode
I really liked the audacity the directors had with this one and it's good that this was released to give the audience some more closure about what happened after the series finale.

4. O Que Você Comeu Ontem?
Japanese Movie - 2021
One of the best BL movies to have come out of Japan in the last few years. Yes, people might think that Shiro and Kenji could show more affection to each other, but this franchise is what is keeping the gay spirit alive in Japan; we must see more shows exploring the depth of the community's troubles.
