Bros By Any Other Name
Bromances + BL = but not the usual fare!
Some titles are right for those just wanting to dip their toe in the BL pool.
-
1. Absolute BL
Japanese Special - 2021, 1 episode
English title: A Man Who Defies the World of BL.
This is a parody of the BL genre. ; )
-
2. Wake Up Ladies 2: Very Complicated
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Same male lead’s back with a partner and one of the ladies falls for another woman and taste- fully so. Seems like everyone has the same problems and heartaches.
-
3. Acordem, Mulheres: A Série
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
Only one funny, lovable, caring gay character and he’s worth the price of admission!
-
4. Friend Zone
Thai Drama - 2018, 12 episodes
My favourite series because it has the good sense to include everybody trying to find their way through their late twenties. Some skinship involved, mostly with main couple. And Stud the anti-hero.
-
5. Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area
Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Skinship for everybody, regardless of orientation.
Introduction of a female couple. And a cad of a straight guy.
All tastefully done.
-
6. Causa da Morte
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
Romance takes a back-seat to a hard-hitting murder mystery plot.
-
7. Call It What You Want
Thai Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Based on true experiences of the Indie BL director who brought us Present Perfect and Present - Still Perfect. May disillusion some fans.
-
8. Cerimônia de Casamento do Ryu Sun Bi
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
Some fluff for when you’ve had enough of life for one day.
-
9. Cherry Magic!
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
English title: Cherry Magic
Sweeter than sugar! A must-see! Sure to melt the hardest of hearts!
-
10. Present Perfect
Thai Movie - 2017
Indie drama whose cinematography will soothe your soul. There is skinship in this offering.
-
11. Present Perfect Part 2
Thai Movie - 2020
Ditto part one.
-
12. Your Home
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Eye-candy kicked up a notch! Quirky gal pal added to the mix. Short & Sweet. Maybe too many sweets! ?Happy ending.
-
13. Ele Está Vindo Para Mim
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
Excellent story that is warm and endearing. An underrated gem.
