BL MASTERLIST
This is a list of BL and/or LGBTQ+ dramas and movies i have watched.
Have been watching BL since early days, Takumi kun and Love of Siam times, so late 2000's early 2010's. I'll keep updating this rabbit hole as i get across to old series or movies i watched as well as the new series i finish. Always with a quick review/commentary.
This will help me to keep track but it can also be good for people that may find some content to watch so i'll make it public and try not to put spoilers (forgive me if i provide a bit too much once in a while, sometimes is needed) but still give a short input of every single one of them.
ENJOY
^^

101. Enchanté
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I'm just so... The story disapointed me. A cute premise that turned into a childish scheme and ruined what could have been the sweet teen love confesion that i wished all this to be.
I hate how Akk treats Theo like he is a kid that cannot do, touch or handle anything but then again often times he proves that he is just that child like so... Whatever floats their boat.
Overall i just had higher hopes and this was mundane at best.
Let's collectivelly pretend that Theo wasn't this insecure stupid kiddo and they ended together at ep 8. THE END -
102. Entre Estações
Korean Movie - 2018
This is a sad movie.
They are sweet together, but life for the gays cannot be eassy or happy indefinitely.
I pity both guys here, terrible lifes they have. The endind is half happy tho.
Is a good story, if you are up for a very melo one. -
103. Entre Nós
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Man this was boring, dragged and cliché. A series that feels two steps backwards, like if we were back in 2018.2019 bl times.
I saw 3 episodes and stopped for a month. After retaking it, i have to fast forward or else I'll die.
I don't really enjoy their dynamic, that one were the top acts like a father. He is also his part time teacher, nutritionists, adviser... he is basically taking care of a toddler with tantrums. I hate that couple dynamic.
At one point i was, is he mad at Team again or just wanna fuck? I already cannot tell the difference.
What a drama queens, BOTH OF THEM. Really absurd how they are pulling and pushing, terrible during ep 11 till they confess each others, with crying stupidly while singing terrible one after the other passing by the guitar and bawling CRINGE OVER THE FUCKING ROOF.
One of the side couples Prince and the other guy is kind of cute, at least there's that. -
104. Entremeio
Filipino Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
It's an ok series, i like the cinematography.
The couple is cute, and the story till ep 9 worth it. After that there's the clasic jelousy arc that ends in nothing, but a cute last scene was worth the 5 eps that i skipped through.
I would probably not watch it again, but i don't regret i gave it a chance.Sweet, true love, friendship.
-
105. Erro Semântico
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
One of the best Kbls so far.
They fit together like a glove, the chemistry is chef kiss and the story, even if nothing really new, flows well, doesn't feel dragged and things make sense.
It's simple yet sucesfull and the actors were commited to their roles, what sorry to say but hard to see when it comes to bl from korea.
From enemies to lovers plot that works and is fun because of their personalities.
I could have lived without the always last plotline of something happens and it's best not be together but well nevermid let's try. But other than that, it was simple yet efective.
-
106. Escritor Adorável
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Great main couple. New storyline, plots, subjects of discusion... With this one it feels like the BL world is actually evolving in the right direction.
Extra points for their cat like features, they are gonna send me, istg.
My biggest issue is that i feel that the after ep 9/10 things went flat. Quite disapointed with the last main arc of conflict and how they are dealing with it, specially Gene. he lsot his balls there.
The hetero couple is bad, just bad. I mean, the guy is a keeper, but the girl is stupid.
Still, at the end Gene never found his balls back. What if there's another obstacle in the future? Will he drop Sib again without considering his side? They could easily talked about it and agree to do what happened, withouth the hurting. -
107. Eternal Summer
Taiwanese Movie - 2006
Quite a good old school movie.
One of those that i like, An story, LGBTQ+, BL, Movie... everything, as it should.
The key moment was... was something. Great acting and cinematography for the times.
Interpretative ending. -
108. Eu e o Fantasma no Quarto
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
This was a good series, full of life lesons and funny enough considering the main plot, realism when it comes to writting a consistent story and characters.
There were some points that felt unnecesary, draged or irrelevant, like a waste of time, and i wished to see more pivotal scenes where their fellings were growing and their love was getting warmer that somewhat felt missed during a few mid episodes.Other than that, i have only good words about it. Everyone was human (even the ghosts), they felt like people, complex, not traped on a stereotyped fake box, with flaws, fears... The story wasn't a chiché as well, and most of the actors were top level and i was able to simpatize, care for the characters and understand them.
Their ending is brilliant, couldn't have asked for a most perfect ending to this story, neither could have imagined one.
8.5/10 -
109. Eu Não
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
Really refreshing. A series that was dark, intense and revolved around other major topics but had all the love needed. Thism was a good way of leveling uup the bl game ans showing that they can do much more, much better, and much more adult like.
Some things were a bit repetitive and brainless and other failed to be all that dark, twisted and intense to feel a bit flat and college like. But that's what they are so it's ok.
The acting was quite convincig and the love stories ok. Even if i love the quemistry between OFFGun i wasn't that invested in their progress as i wished. I don't know what it is, but at some points it was meh.
But let me tell you, the second couple, Yok and Dan... major feellings. Their progress and specially the non verbal conection was out of this world. At the end was a bit flat... and let me say that i don't care if they are guys, if your partner wronged you, a punch is not the answer. I wished more phisical love between them as well, but still, they stole the sow for me.
All and all a very good series worth to be watched. Let's keep this on and make more bls outside the box. -
110. Eu sou seu rei: A Série
Thai Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
It lacks on every department. I would say that it's somethig to watch to kill time.
A bunch of early teens that play a card game where someone is a king and is able to tell other to do all kind of things, usually those are making out, wich is nice for us.
Mark did a decent job here, that couple with the crossdresing had some moments, like the bathtube one.
The main couple is a bit strange, friends to lovers but a bf on the side.
The ending is disappointing. -
111. Eu Sou Seu Rei: A Série II
Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
A bit beter than the first one, still badly ejecuted, and bad storytelling and pace of the plot.
This time the card game has less presence, but the scene when it happens is basically 10 minutes of a bunch of dudes kissing each others, pasionatelly but totally weird, like being sucked by a vacuum cleaner and fighting for getting your lips out.
The coupling is complicated and bad thougth as well. brothers liking the same dude, friend liking the friend, boy liked sleepimg with both brothers and changing his mind.
Wouldn't recommend. -
112. Eu Te Prometi a Lua
Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
My heart was acting out before even playing press on episode 1.
This show tugs with your emotions in every way possible mainly due to how real, intense and well done and acted it is.
I think that both have valid fears and struggles and they just happen to be on different sides of the coin. Sometimes Teh makes mistakes and so do Oh. Mistakes that we all have commited sometimes. I wanna scream; communicate... Lean on each others!!
At the end, i think that Teh character is real and amazing, super caring and a helper, will do anything for Oh, he overcomes things and is a fighter, loved how he realized his sexuality and in a short time he overpowered the fears and look how open and proud he is now... he is just human. If Oh wanted the moon, he will get it for him, quite sure about that. His issue is that he botles up. I do that as well. He was at a point where he lost his inspiration, his dream, and his old relation with oh-aew. So when he found a perfect source for his lost confidence he clung himself to it. It was more like his dream on one side and oh aew on the other side.This drama is not just about their love, it's about their growth, They can't live without each other, like "you can do anything you want but just don't disappear" there's something that ties them together no matter what, a profund and sincere love that needed more maturity and emotional inteligence to keep being the thing that conquers everything else. It happened.
I could write a thesis about why this series is so brilliant, but i think we all can testify that, and honestly, i am so full of beautiful emotions that now it's not the time to go back, i'm just totally happy about the existence of this piece of art. And totally devastated about this being the end. At least, for now. -
113. Evening Cafe
Thai Drama - 2021, 4 episodes
What is this.
I saw friends making tik toks with a more convincing acting and plot, and that itself should warn you.
I knew this was bad before watching it, but i am the kind of person that watches even knowing it so i can say it sucks from my own judging,I like to watch bad movies as well, sometimes you can rant or laugh about it. Maybe you want as well.
-
114. Father and Son
Thai Movie - 2015
A weird one, a bit hard to digest.
Like i said i don't mind art to cross morals, so that's interesting.
The issue is that isn't a good one. -
115. Fathers
Thai Movie - 2016
This is an important movie to make.
Highlights issues that are very important for the LGBTQ+ comunity.
You will be furious and disappointed with the dad, Phoon
Good to see that the other papa has balls and is a bomb as dad.
The kid does a pretty good damn job.
The ending that deserved.
Yuke, i would like you to be my dad, or my daddy, you can choose. Well, you are gay, so let's just see you as a dad /uncle haha Still, if you are open to women, i would gladly marry you as well.
Nat, Singto left to find himself but you found the family that you wanted, not bad. Singto is Singto tho. hahaha sorry, i like to put my finger into the wound, *jokes for the ones that know* -
116. Final Feliz
Korean Drama - 2024, 3 episodes
It's ok, a bit of nothing.
-
117. Find You In The Crowd
Chinese Movie - 2017
Another good premise that felt short.
Has her ups and downs. -
118. Find You In The Crowd 2
Chinese Movie - 2019
A bit better than the first and a bit worse.
Take it as that. -
119. Fingers After
Korean Movie - 2021
Is a good short.
Don't come for romance, is more about dealing with issues.
-
120. Fisioterapia
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
The plot somewhat felt promising, the pairing was a cute one as well so it had all the ingredients to be at least average. But nothing added up.
I don't even understand or follow the story of the secondary characters. they come and go, something happens and then it's all good or never end their arc... what is this. The main couple as well. That time jump at the end was a sight.
If you're able to switch off your mind, your sense of logic and the need for clarity, then you'll be able to watch this series. Week after week I clung onto the hope that something will finally click but it only got weirder.
I enjoyed the faces of the male leads and i stayed for the long gazes, but 0 substance other than a good sweet kiss. -
121. Flores de Cerejeira Depois do Inverno
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
It was cute and healthy. Nothing less nothing more. Just your good after taste but average stuff.
Fluffy.
It ads nothing, but provides a sweet puppy love. -
122. Forbidden Love
Japanese Movie - 2008
Your old friend from Japan.
Currently it's aged, never was good, but it was what we had.
It has good moments, i remember how blindly in love the older one was and how the other had a hella sad struggling past. -
123. Forever Summer
Japanese Movie - 2015
Sometimes i don't know how i remember all this old school Japanese movies, and more specially how i differentiate them. This is old school coming to end times, 2015. From 2018-2019 things are getting better.
It was your typical: What are this feelings, no, unsure, yes, fuck this isn't right, afraid, better not, sad past comes along, sickness, let's try, too late.
For a while 80% of Japanese BL was this plot line, and sad ending.
Pain and sadness, our gays cannot be happy.
I recall a sweet scene with photos and white curtains. -
124. Forget Me Not
Thai Movie - 2011
A sad but meaningful short.
Memories vs forgetting. -
125. Formula 17
Taiwanese Movie - 2004
This was one of my first Taiwanese BL movies.
Yes, it's quite absurd but for the times wasn't as terrible.
The issue is that the traumas are a bit... eh silly.
But has some comedic scenes that are a bit entertaining and the actors are quite cute.
I wound't say is a must watch but you can watch it as a filler or to go back in time to early 2000's BL. -
126. Fragile Souls
Taiwanese Movie - 2019
Liked the methapor a lot. Made me sad but happy that they could get each others hearts.
Worth every second of those 9 minutes.
Would have watched if it was elaborated into a movie, the plot has potential to look further.
-
127. Friend Zone
Thai Drama - 2018, 12 episodes
I enjoyed this one way more than i anticipated.
At first i saw Singto and jumped with my eyes closed, even knowing that the BL is a side dish.
The series is quite good, a group of friends that are far from put together, everyone is dealing with their ish, cheating, mental health, fresh from college what do i do, who i am, what i want... Struggling like all of us and making hella mistakes.
Is chaotic, you hate some at a time, then star to understand, forgive, maybe not... it leaves room for all of us to see ourselves in the mirror and use our morals and ideals to decide if some things are ok or not for us. -
128. Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area
Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Even better than the first one.
Tell me tell me baby... i still jam to the opening song.
We get to see their present after season 1, but most importantly, their past, how they meet, how everything started... it provides a lot of insight on every character and you get to understand and read them.
The feeling of redemption, finding themselves, being confident in their own skin, realizing their true feelings, their mistakes, being mature to let go... but still humanly broken, and making mistakes all over again.
Even if is not full BL is super fun and the BL plot quite a good one. Is one of those BL + LGBTQ+, no separation line. I live for that.
I loved it and still have hopes for a 3rd season. Everything kinda ends well rounded yes, but there's also room and an open circle, just as life evolves, they evolved and will keep doing so. -
129. From Now To The Past
Chinese Movie - 2015
Wet hot dudes, rain and alcohol, sexual tension, sadness and an hetero wedding.
This hardly ends well. Not an exception, be aware. Still, i kinda liked it. -
130. Fujimi Orchestra
Japanese Movie - 2012
Our old school Japan.
Consent? we don't know him in this household, or should i say orchestra?
Teacher and student
Poorly executed, acted and directed. -
131. Gameboys
Filipino Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
What a cute, meaningful and sweet ride.
This was powerful. A love that overcomes covid, sadness, loosings, distance...
It starts like a cute basic story of two teens , a new way of sliding in your dms, sliding in your streaming. Yes, during covid season, but as a fun game, playful. jokingly... Till you get to know them, their stories, their actual struggles... and everything is deep, as their love deepens as well.
A BL that it's also a LGBTQ+ story, no lines in between, just how i like it the most.
They are so lovable, charming, honest, sweet... is beautiful to watch.
The acting is great, specially from Elijah Canlas, Philippines has a jewel there.
Kudos for the production team, recording with phones during long lockdowns, actors working from their homes, acting in front of a computer... Superb job.
Side note, i watched this while both my parent were positive and i decided to be with them at their house taking care of them. Everything went ok and 0 symptoms, i didn't got infected. But imagine how this felt then, specially Cairo's story.
More than ready to watch the second season. -
132. Gameboys 2
Filipino Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Is just a recicled extended version of the movie.
Not even going an step forward with the ending.
I feel a bit cheated and the way they handle the international viewers wasn't nice either.
Just one or the other, we didn't need both. Let's see if they give us a 3 seasons that it's actually a continuation. -
133. Gameboys: The Movie
Filipino Movie - 2021
If you loved the series, you will love the movie.
Our babies are back!! As in love as we left them, ready to deepen their relationship!!
The acting was everything we could expect from this two talented actors. Being able to reciprocate in situ made the chemistry go even further, if that was even possible, they made it happen. The supporting cast delivered their roles, specially Pearl and Aquilles, they put the lightness and necessary fun, the breathing breaks so necessary in a few key moments.
Plotwise, we got what we knew and continued where we left it. The characters dealing with their new realities, emotions and the family issues, this time more centered on Gab's side. It was very well delivered, i would have enjoyed a bit more time for the main couple to connect and all that. After the series, we all wished and were really invested into them having what the pandemic didn't let them before, and i feel like i needed a bit more of that here, just for them, just a bit more prior to all the people that came at once.
I kinda felt that Terrence and Wes relationship was a bit rushed and needed more story in between, i wished they didn't give us the rush and focus less on that here in the movie, but let it develop more in the 2 season. I feel like i haven't been able to really be invested in their story or see their fellings for each others and emotions develop or flow.
The endind is well thought for us to be eager to see what's next and ready to jump into the 2 season whenever they give it to us, but not too hearbreaking to leave us on the floor bawling our eyes put. A bittersweet but hopeful endind, for now, and we all know is just a see you later.
Overall it maintained the level of the series, and we reinforced the fact that we have here a perfect pairing of 2 of the best young actors from the Philippines with a magical chemistry shy to none.
-
134. Gay OK Bangkok
Thai Drama - 2016, 5 episodes
LGBTQ+, Realism, Community real struggles.
The main couple are hot, good actors, part of the community for real... sad to see them so little on Thai BL.
Back then this was the best kiss scene and chemistry i saw coming from Thailand, now they dropped a bit on the rank but still great none less.
Waited for the second season like crazy, even dropped some coin for the project to come to light. -
135. Gay OK Bangkok 2
Thai Drama - 2017, 7 episodes
LGBTQ+, Realism, Community real struggles AGAIN.
Not as great as the first season, by far, it didn't went how i wanted or expected but still a good one.
Some new life hustle trying to find their happiness, new actors new couples...
Sometimes it wasn't supposed to work. Sometimes you can start anew.
Friendship. -
136. Gen Y
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Sometimes we need to know where to stop.
I was sad watching this. They made a whole ass mess here trying to bring back to life something that is as dead as my ancestors.
Let's not talk about Pi Pha, what a shitty love story they made trying to find a new ship for Bass. Is ok for the actor to move on, totally, but they should have made a new character for him, not break into pieces the love story, making our doc a cunt.
This is kinda like if they make a Titanic 2.0 and Rose learns that Jack told his friend that she was a fling and he was about to drop her after they landed. NOPE.
The secondary couple left us with a sweet tooth in 2 moons but here didn't maintain the quality either, still nothing compares to the main ones catastrophe.
i don't really think this was ever a good idea. Let's cast them in new roles an move on. I'll try to forget this. -
137. Given
Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Sweet, cute and japanese emotional style. So far on my top 5 of 2021. The main actor, Jin is hot as hell, his face is just right on my alley, but man, his hands, i never thought i had a thing for hands till now haha.
Love the entire casting and love me a japanese rock band drama. No other country conveys music based dramas like Japan, they really express all their emotions through the songs beautifully.I just wish they delivered on the love deppartment as much as in the music/emotional one, more like in the intimacy, touches, development and all that jazz between the lovers, it would be the icing of the cake, but most of the times, Japan is still Japan after all.
The ending credits song, Strange days by Panorama Panama Town is great!! Puts me on the best mood :) -
138. Go! Go! G-Boys
Taiwanese Movie - 2006
Another old school but Taiwan.
Fun at some point, desperately bad at others.
I remember liking the bottom a lot (is a cutie and a keeper) and not understanding why he was in love with his friend that wasn't exactly a good catch, his girlfriend will testify.
Quite eccentric, the trope trying to win the gay contest have some fun ones. Take it for what it is, a nonsensical ride with many queens. -
139. Going South
Korean Movie - 2012
Expected worse.
Not your typical sweet BL
SPOILER:
They went south... yep ;) -
140. Grande Dragão: O Seriado
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Not terrible but below my standards.
The main story could work but there's really not that much plot and the way they handle things is absurd, they make a mountain of a grain of salt and the comunication, good communication without over the top reactions could have solved their thing in one go.
Their chemi is below standards as well, for a couple that it's supposed to be hot as fire and have a bondage and very hardcore sex life, they really are below the bar, don't deliver it. But it has potential so who knows, if the season 2 ends up happening, maybe they learned and are more confortable, i'll give it a go if it comes.
There's quality in the way is filmed and the sets, too bad the plot and edditing don't go in hand.Wanna see what's next, but i won't mind if i can`t, i won't miss them, they weren't able to make me be really invested.
-
141. Gray Currents
Korean Drama - 2024, 5 episodes
a mess, frustration, nosense.
-
142. Grounded
Taiwanese Movie - 2018
Decent short.
Could be better but has some good points and an understandable struggle.The scenery is already worth the watch.
-
143. Há Quanto Tempo
Korean Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
A similar premise to HIStory trapped. Cops/mafia...
It was a bit darker but i still prefer Trapped in terms of the love development.
Is good tho.
-
144. Happy Merry Ending
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
So so. Rushed, i don't really get a build up for them falling in love.
But it's super short so.
Okeish -
145. Happy Together
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 15 episodes
Quite fun. Family/friendship kind of sitcom.
The BL couple is hella cute. They have some ups and downs on the road, some issues to face after a long term relationship.
They are way different and want different things, are afraid of others... and they have to deal with all that common issues.
Enjoyed the drama but i would only rewatch a few cute scenes if so. -
146. He Says To Me...?
Thai Movie - 2017
An... Ok short.
It fail to get me. There is a bit of cuteness there.
We all been knew about the keys ;) -
147. He She It
Thai Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
The kiss and their cuteness helped sustaining this ship so they could make Ingredients the series.
This is a bad one, nonsensical, pointless.
Thank god they had a 2 chance. -
148. Hello Stranger
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
It was ok.
Liked the premise, felt that the plot was lost half of the time, stupid stuff to cover lack of story... and a hopeful ending.
I liked it, but not as much as i expected to. -
149. Hello, Stranger
Filipino Movie - 2021
Liked it more than the series.
Makes more sense and the storyline goes as it should. i would have put more meat in some of the plots and not in others but overall this was enjoyable.
The ending... sweet. -
150. Hidamari ga Kikoeru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
The story is as sweet and tender as i remebered from the old movie adaptation (goes till half of the series more or less), the acting specially Kohei was brilliand and he has those actor eyes able to portray emotions
BUT
I get that this is a great adaptation of the manga, but for me the story lacks a good pay off for the confesion time, for a love so tender, honest, sweet and unconditional, for the acting, specially of Kohei character... this needed a better pay off, is not about kiss not to kiss only, is about how to make the hearts of the fans move, and i just rolled my eyes and felt nothing romantic with that ending.
Overall is great till the last 3 episodes that got me saying, go boys give us nothing. -
151. Hidden Agenda
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Has some redeeming qualities but a plain boring and poorly acted GMMTV filler.
-
152. His
Japanese Movie - 2020
The movie after the short series.
Japan got his shit together after 2018, they are doing great things.
This movie is needed, specially there, is a discourse, is an LGBTQ+ empowerment.
I just felt that i would have appreciated a bit more about their life together from the mid teens after the short series, till he leaves him to have an heterosexual marriage. It would have added a bit more deepness and layers. You can also watch this skipping the series, is not needed to understand the movie, but you would be missing out big time.
Still, this movie is real, important, their story is quite like the weather there, the gloomy sky but calmly breeze, not too hot, not too warm, just right. -
153. His - I Didn't Think I Would Fall In Love
Japanese Drama - 2019, 5 episodes
This proves that Japan has more to offer than the old school bittersweet and poorly executed BL.
Is a very cute and realistic coming of age short series, a prequel of the movie. Sort but tasteful, the only issue is that the filler arcs get too much focus and sometimes the point should have been somewhere else.
The sleeping in two futons scene got me through it. I was there, trying to be as quiet as i could, stopping my breath.
I wished the ending had more deepness and soul, that's what lacked to most for me. It needed a bit more there, just 5 more minutes mom. -
154. His Cat
Chinese Movie - 2020
China. One doesn't need to say much more.
Potential ruined, barely any substance and you have to read between lines. No physical contact.Again, China.
-
155. His Man
Korean TV Show - 2022, 11 episodes
Gay reality show
-
156. His Man Season 2
Korean TV Show - 2023, 14 episodes
Best dating show season i have seen, ever.
SH AND SJ COUPLE IS TO DIE FOR
AND THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 200 DAYS NOW!! -
157. His Man Season 3
Korean TV Show - 2024, 14 episodes
Jungyoong king, You did not deserve what Hanmin did to you.
Youngjoon carried this season for me.
1. Being the one making the group feel confortable and get them out of the awkwardness at first
2. The drama with Myeongkyung where he showed realness (hate to watch everyone act perfect and proper all the time portraying fake personas, i much rather have someone with layers that also makes mistakes get angry, stressed... human). Both are my fave contestants because of that and i understand both.
3. Being straighforward with liking Hanmin and truly being intentional and wanting to make it work, Hanmin did the typical korean fuckboy reverse card, and sadly i saw it comming because of the way he acted from the get go (remember it was his idea to make couple rings on the first date, ear charmer), it came across as a bit trying to look perfect and tell you and do all the lovely things that make you catch feellings and you would think he is into you badly, but in reality he is just trying to look good but without actually being deep and personal, surface level fakeness, enough to make you believe there's a bond there. Because of that it's the only one i don't like.
The rest of the show was a bid meh for me, he gave me all the drama, romance and did all the talk to make the group have fun and all. -
158. HIStória 5: Amor no Futuro
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 20 episodes
HIStory 3 peaked tbh, I have maybe around 15 bls with a 9 or + and both of those were. Even the sadness of MODC ending (hated by many but actually elevated the story for me) touched my core inmensly, it was very raw and with no redemption, just how real life loss really feels. I cannot watch the box of memories or the "he will always be 18" scenes without breaking my heart, but i did not felt a single scene here, neither happiness, sweetness, sadness... very below the bar and some ridiculous plots and scenes. I was out if it the entire time, 0 invested.
Not reaching me in any way or making me feel their emotions is the worst scenario to me. So along with the 1st stories, the worst ones in my ranking. I would say that it's a series that pass by like nothing to me, i won't recall about it or miss it. But i still hope they make a part 6 tho, i will take this as an slump.
Plot and scrip aside, I'm quite cold about the main couple, for me one of the worst from the entire franchise (just some of the first seasons could compete for that sad rank). I cannot sense their chemistry even when they are together in bed. I never felt like they are romantically in love, not even for a second. First and foremost for the script but in terms of the acting, from Hai Yi side, he at least somewhat tried, worked with what he was given and would like to see the actor in another role but... yes, sorry i do not enjoy He Bo Wei / Tai Che Ni. Nor the character, his personality, eye expresion, kissing and skinship... I don't know if it's the actor who cannot act well, that he did not take the character seriously or that the character itself is so bad that nothing could save it or make the actor try to act like he loves the other guy. -
159. HIStory: Fique Longe de Mim
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
My second last favorite from our friend History.
The story is a bit weirdly explained, lacks emotions on the delivery and they don't really feel that much in love.
There are a few nice moments and is watchable. -
160. HIStory: Meu Herói
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
The History saga.
A good friend that never fails you... but this one kinda, is just ok. The worst for sure.
I don't really enjoy the swapping bodies arcs, here is even weirder.
There are some cute things and scenes and the top is very handsome. -
161. HIStory: Obcecado
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
And History got better.
This is a toxic love, works for me. They are crazy, obsessed, irrational, powerful and hot.
The acting in the last few scenes... wow. -
162. HIStory2: Certo ou Errado?
Taiwanese Special - 2018, 8 episodes
History coming through once again.
This 2 year was a good one.
This is an age gap story between a divorced uni professor with a daughter and his sweetie pie young student.
The story is nice, well executed, sweet, full of good feelings. They have a good love and finally everything feels right for once when they meet and fall in love. -
163. HIStory2: Cruzando a Linha
Taiwanese Special - 2018, 8 episodes
This History installment is completed, but it doesn't feel like it. I left it wanting more.
The 2 year of History was an upgrade from the first.
The stories here were good, cute, sweet, the chemistry was there, the acting, the eye candy, the building up, the moments, the butterflies... and the kisses.
I really enjoyed it. Sad that the movie will no longer be done. But happy that we got this good story. -
164. HIStory3: Armadilha
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
History 3 is just it.
Both stories are great, liked MODC better specially because of the ending (call me masochist).
But, even with that, let's just state that this one is unique. A plot not seen yet in BL land.
A police and a suspected criminal, both hot dudes that know how to handle a gun (i saw a hard gun in someone's boxers at some point, you ain't lying there my pal), handcuff each others and fight. It delivered, as it should.
There was also love, deepness, interesting arcs, action, sexy moments...
The secondary couple is so cute and fun as well, the perfect balance for the dark side.
Can i just get any of them or all and a birthday cake? For delivery please. We all know what to do next. -
165. HIStory3: Faça Valer a Pena
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
History 1 and 2 walked so History 3 could run.
This is the best one. What a meaningful, sweet and sad ride.
Their love is cute as if, and the story and acting superb.
Let's give a proper place to the secondary couple, they delivered and hardly i like both couples equally and feel that they made a fantastic job with both in every sense.
This series has serious doses of lovely moments, great kisses and hot sex scenes. Enjoy.
The stories of both couples feel deep, interesting, with layers, just how it should be. Every character is well built, have their background and you connect with them, see them overcome issues and grow their love. Fantastic acting.
This is the first time that i cry my eyes out for a ball of rice.
I am on the shortest side, the one that loved the sad ending (be warned, ep. 10). The acting at the end is just... outstanding. The way those emotions are portrayed it just breaks you into million pieces.
Is not often when you see this kind of pain and absolute devastation without an ending redemption, a glance of hope. There's none, there's no way. I am in love with how such an inner core sadness was projected and we were able to taste it in all her glory. Is devastating but totally profound. This is the truth and realism of that kind of feelings, if you experienced that before, you know this was you, this will always be you. -
166. Hold Me
Korean Movie - 2021
A super short. Literallly 2 scenes. It was cute, but nothing else.
5 minutes watching it as a sweet candy won't hurt.
-
167. Hormônios Temporada 2
Thai Drama - 2014, 13 episodes
A continuation of the first one.
-
168. Hormônios Temporada Um
Thai Drama - 2013, 13 episodes
This is a good teen series that broke many stereotypes and put out there hard to diggest topics.
Is also the first tv show where gay teens are included as a main arc as well, one of the couples. Only for that is a must. Movies like Love of Siam helped for this to be produced and this helped to have Love sick, the actual first BL series.
In some ways it reminds me of a toned down The OC. -
169. Hospedeiro Fantasma, Casa Fantasma
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
It had some potential with the story, it tried, but never actually exploded the way i hoped.
Just a basic forgettable one. I really never had much idea what was going on because nothing impressed itself on my stongly enough for me to remember.
It lacks but at least the couple connected decently, even if still feels that it was half done. -
170. House of Stars
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
The series is a mess and i skipped half of it.
But there are some interesting things here and there. Also, hot scenes.
It finished with a clifhanger, so they may want to have a 2 season.
Would just watch it for the hot scenes, not gonna lie. -
171. I Feel You Linger in the Air
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
This has been one of the best bls i have ever watched, straight to my top 10 no question asked.
The story is entertaining, unique, exciting... and their love story truly transcends
The acting and chemistry was amazing and that elevated it but the story carries all the waight for this to be a once in a lifetime type of series, one of those that leave a dent, a mark in my heart.
The only thing is a wished to get more details about the present time, how Yai gets to know about their past lifes, how he waits till they can meet again...see more angst there and love, see them grow together... but was one scene as usual.
If only the tribal times5 second scene makes me believe that we may have another season and maybe that one and the present life, or maybe even more are shown and talk more in deeep about their bond that transcends every period of time.
I'll be waiting for that to happen. -
172. I Feel You Linger in the Air Special: Scent of Memory
Thai Special - 2023, 1 episode
Kept everything light and happy.
Being completely honest, i missed the energy and feelling of the series, i wanted to feel more, a bit empty.
Also, they did an screening in thailand and we international fans have been waiting almost half a year, so that kinda cooled down the amazing feellings that the series left.
Still, i will always wish for a second season of the series where the present time ones can end up together as their love deserves. -
173. I Go To School Not By Bus
Hong Kong Movie - 2015
A cute short about 2 high school classmates that like each other, a comming of age one. The top is handsome as hell, the bottom looks a lot like Xi Gu from History Make our days count.
Is good. Nothing more mothing less. Sweet, take it for what it is. -
174. I Love You
Thai Movie - 2020
What in the world.
A mess. Pooly acted specially by the older cast. The story is all over the place, the plot keeps going on circles and at the end they open everything, but in a very bas and distasteful way, and there's no second movie / season. WTF? If you were about to do this, better do nothing.
Not recommended in the slightest. -
175. I Love You As A Man
Chinese Movie - 2014
Is one of those that i don't love but neither hate.
I had a hard time understanging how they fall for each other. But when they have kiss or sex scenes, they are into it, so that´s a plus for me to believing them.
The story is ok, a cool has it all guy and a nerdy one, the sencond is the one that follows the first and tries to make him fall in love, witch is fun and not that common in bl territory.
The family against it plot is not very well done,. -
176. I Love You As A Man: Part 2
Chinese Movie - 2015
Follows where the first part left.
They are together, having a tom and jerry relationship.
They make really hot scenes.
*Goship* : The top here has a huge scandal nowdays. He had a long term gf, aparently mentally unestable. They were contemplating marriage, but things went downhill. She "exposed" that he do drugs and cheated on her with shemales a few times. He said that he didn't do illegal drugs or anything and she lost her shit. Nothing added about the shemaless ;)
Back to the movie, the story is again, not very good, and they have some back and forth a couple of times, jokes misinterpreted... meh.
The worse part is how it ends, and leave us with that horrible clif hanger, no 3rd part. NO. -
177. I Saw You in My Dream
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Started with a nice premise but then absurdity came, going in circles when they could go straight, nonsense of explaining everything serious to friends but not to the bf and person who really could make a diference, not making us see or understand how they catch feelings...
I'm so tired of this sloppy bls... they are ruining the genre to me.
I'm not here just to watch two cute guys kiss, i want a story, layers, cohesive plots and to feel the love and emotions.
-
178. I Will Hit You
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
This was the perfect mix and perfect definition of fun + fluf.
They made it 90's, love the vibes.
I could live without the "always make a last ark of issue that will be solved in the last ep", that usually is the parents and it was here again. Even been the distance issue would have been a 1000000 times better. But since i watched it in 2 days, it wasn't as an strugle (yep, i skipped there and problem solved).
Still, super cute teen like couple, clumsy, stupdly folish (youth) and tender.
It was teen comedy, tons of stupidly fun moments, very easy to enjoy and leaves a good aftertaste in your mouth. -
179. If I Love A Boy
Thai Drama - 2019, 5 episodes
There's no point here.
Maybe in a couple of them there's a little something that happens, but half of them are just two boys getting along, nothing else, nothing more. -
180. Individual Circumstances
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Mediocre. Just two guys afraid of owning fellings and only getting back together because of work.
Hhmm... Sad because it had potential to feel real, but ended up feeling really fake.
Then their love story is almost non existent, feels more like a bromance than a bl and their longing for each other also feels more friendly than romantic. Even after they are supposed to finally be a couple, they feel like best friends. They give each other an emotionless kinda slow mo peck on the lips and call it a day.
I don't even asks for too much physical contact, but needs more emotions, loving glances, expresions, small gestures... I only trusted their anger moments, never felt the true romantic love, lacks.
-
181. Ingredients
Thai Special - 2020, 21 episodes
After the He She It failure, i came only for the ship.
The production got better with time, wasn't as keen on the food arc till it grew on me. They are cute together.
Don't expect an intense story, is a fluffy slow burn cute love. The second half of the series is way better if you are struggling to pass the first half.
They are going to act together in KinnPorsche as a secondary couple. The ship is getting stronger. -
182. Ingredients Special
Thai Special - 2020, 1 episode
A sweet icing of the cake for this two.
We will see more of this ship in the future. -
183. Irresistible Love 2
Chinese Movie - 2016
You are in for an even more melodramatic and way more dark movie than the first one.
They get madly obsesively in love, and now both are willing to do the most for the other, way too over the top some of those may i add.
The ending here is depresing, very, but the alternative ending came to save us all. -
184. Irresistible Love - Secret of the Valet
Chinese Movie - 2016
Another melo one with a sad bottom that does it all for the son of the rich family and cool top.
Is has a lot of darkness, their scenes together are hot.The story behind them is good and how they explain their love and grow is great.
-
185. Is You
Thai Movie - 2020
A short not worth it.
The bottom is an egoistic dude and the top a very understanding and patient one.
I can hardly find some things that i like about this, but a long list that i don't. -
186. Itsuka no kimi e
Japanese Movie - 2007
One of those old school japanese bls.
This was between the ones i liked the most during those eras were there was nothing great going on.
Is interesting because it explores a double personaily person, witch is not usual in bl. The movie itself lacs, but some good things are there, like our main guy with personality disorder! Man how i like him haha
They have a couple cute moments as well, basic but enjoyable if you see it with the mindset of what it is, a very old one were bl was more taboo. -
187. Jack o' Frost
Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
Interesting. Shows how important is to be mindful of your partner, show your apreciation or have proper comunication are staples for a relationship.
They could do more angst but it was a good show -
188. Jazz for Two
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
WTH
Too messy to appreciate a story.
Tae Yi was weird and aggressive at all times and the second lead one as well. Guys that 90% of the time push you, hurt your hands and punch you, scream and tell you hurtful things... and those are supposed to be our main love insterest of the other characters?
HELL NO
The freaking weird ass kiss scence blurred and angled so they don't actually show a fucking kiss between two dudes was the icing of the cake, -
189. Journey to the Shore
Korean Movie - 2020
Very intense, real, heartbreaking.
Probably my favourite short movie ever, 30 minutes that tell you a lot and will impact your life and views.
Sadness, reflexion, deepness. -
190. Judo Boys
Korean Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
Good intentions that end in nothing.
Seriously, what a cliffhanger. The series feels like it ends before really starting. Like, i got to know the characters and boom, the end.
Hopefully someday we will get a 2 part with the actual story being fullfilled. -
191. Jun e Jun
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
A bit ridiculous and boring, but man they are hot.
-
192. Junjou
Japanese Movie - 2010
Old school Japan.
Is one of the classics tho. The manga is an institution but this movie is kinda bad, same as the casting and acting.
A reboot wouldn't hurt. -
193. Kare ga Boku ni Koishita Ryuu
Japanese Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
A bit odd.
Knew Yusuke from previous works and he is as expresive and fun as i remembered.
The premise itsef is good, two teachers fall in love. The ejecution is questionable. Everyone is weird there, the father arc is poorly delivered.
The biggest downside for me is that you hardly see their romantic love, there's no much chemistry there.
It has some good, and fun moments so i will try the second season. -
194. Khun Chaai
Thai Drama - 2022, 17 episodes
My first family Lakorn.
Is not a genre for me, i cannot with all this family jelousy drama nonsense whit questionable pay off at the end.
BUT HEAR ME OUT!
The Bl/gay love story is quite good, loved the ambientation and the characters, the eyes, the story was paworfull... It was good and loving those 2 and the sweeetest brother made me be able to go through all the nonsense.
I heard they are going to have another series, just BL for this two.
Cannot wait. -
195. Kidnap
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Ohm is a very good actor, so i always know he would deliver in that department.
The couple was good and they did chave chemistry.
The plot was promising but started getting absurd and going in circles, typical GMMTV. -
196. Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai
Japanese Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
Cute short and well done and told.
This actor has been providing short bl gems, like Him and this one.
They are so inocent, that they just aim to cherish each other. The sweetest cuties. -
197. KinnPorsche
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
One of the very few good things that are comming out in 2022.
A new take on BL, mafia thriller with a lot of story, emotions, well done characters, tortured, deep, with their own personality... And the love, hot, real, sexy, intense and all of the above elevated.
Hot and mature actors that did an incredible job delivering their own characters, every single one.
One of those series that could have a 2 season, movie ending or an spinn off and pull it off.
I got shy with KinnPorsche sex scenes... and that tells me something. It was soft porn, no doubt.
And i have to say, Vegas speaking in english turns me crazy, new kink discovered. Just leave the sado out of the equation.
A few things around the mafia trama were dragged or unnecesary and didn't understand the reasoning of many things, but i will leave room for that considering the delivery that this provided.
Overall, a must watch and specially for those who are bored of the same premise that a very few do right, and when it's right is tastefull, but most do it bland, and is insipid. This was a great curse meal at a nice summer rooftop restaurant. -
198. KISEKI: DEAR TO ME
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
This was a HUGE dissapointment, the plot lacks so hard and the second half of the drama is such a mess and characters act all over the place.
How much i wish they stopped the story at episode 8 when it still was cohesive, made sense and characters weren't ruined.
They are sexy and adorable but the story is extremely lacking, I feel like the mafia part is a joke.
Anyway, I don't know what is happening to Taiwan BL recently but it's just not it. -
199. Kiss x Kiss x Kiss ~ Perfect Scandal ~
Japanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Eps 4 and 9 are BL.
There's a bitof story in your kiss scenes.
Super short stories that are basically 2 dudes making out. Not complaining about that last bit but i wished we could have a bit more of story. -
200. La Pluie
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
This has potential and couls have been soooo much better... but they went for the ridiculous tropes.
The main actors are bad. But they had decent chemi sexual wise.
The brother friend turned to lover... nah, they made that story dirty haha.
