1. O Presidente da Minha Escola

Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
- 2 boys were best friends, but had a falling out, years later they become friends again and new feelings may arise...

-

Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
- a boy isnt able to graduate uni because of 1 class he decides to make another boys life miserable because he believes hes the reason he failed that class (again opposites falling in love + height difference!)

-
15. Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai
Japanese Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
- just as school breaks for summer 1 boy kisses and confesses to his best friend
- This was extremely short but it told this simple love story perfectly - it’s everything I love about jdramas - although I wish we got more closure on their academic futures, but the open ending is more realistic
- One of my favourite lead performances/characters in a long time- he was so awkward and weird but in the most believable and charming way
- also I love a love story where the character confessed to is so mature dealing with his feelings, he just asked for time to reflect - zero running away
-
16. Mecânica do Amor
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
- remake of the mini series - Mark is in love with Vees best friend, a drunken night leads to Vee and Mark sleeping together
- This is a million times better than the mini series - Vees acting has improved an insane amount - he's so charming here and YinWars chemistry proven to be some of the best in the industry
- This is full of tropes, but I feel like it utilised them all so well that I remembered why these became tropes in the first place
- Again in my opinion its just the best chemistry in any BL I've seen so far

- Not a BL, but there’s an incredible BL side couple - 1 half the couple is one of my all time favourite characters
- the story of a virgin Alex who travels to the future where he’s a gynaecologist - sounds weird, but its like Sex Education with time travel

Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
- This couple argue one evening, they breakup, but that night one ends up in an accident and forgets everything about the other - he's just like he was at the start of their relationship again - so could they restart things?
- This is a seriously heavy drama - I think I cried from episode one onwards because this drama is just over flowing with the feeling of melancholy
- they were a ridiculously adorable couple, the flash backs to how they got together were especially cute and these are 2 extremely talented actors
- It's really about communication in relationships and how no matter what if you're supposed to be with a person you will
-
44. Um Ombro Onde Chorar
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
- In school a popular boy lies that the lonely athlete tried to attack him, this leads to a hate filled relationship, which then becomes friendship and then possibly more?
- I read this manhwa and it is DARK they toned down a lot of the extreme stuff to make one of the leads become more likeable, but it does still include: bullying, abuse, depression and suicide
- These are 2 rookie actors and they do a pretty good job - especially the boy playing the popular boy - its such a complex character, but he perfectly encapsulated the character from the manhwa
- There isn't a kiss - there's no kiss in the manhwa - the last episode was a special episode filmed months after the rest - its unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the series - its cute though, just not the same standard as the rest

- This was such a beautiful story and I loved how they intertwined the past and present and slowly revealed more about Ren's character
- This is on the steamier side of JBLs but the steam is mostly due to how intimate those few scenes feel - personally I feel the chemistry of the leads was top tier
- My one fault is that Ren was such an incredible character - there were so many layers to him - his charm, pain, charisma, trauma and his hidden over-whelming love, then adult Kazuma in comparison was a bit of a blank character - but the child actor for him brought a lot to the role
-

-
61. Be My Favorite
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
- A man dissatisfied with his life discovers he is able to travel back in time to his university days after he finds out his first love is getting married
- I am such a HUGE Gawin fan and he did such an incredible job this was a very charming characte, but also so broken and in need of love - he delivered in all aspects
- i‘m not such a big fan of Krist but he did a really good job in this role - you could tell he really put everything into the performance
- I think the story was well told and mostly engaging, but (I know I am completely alone in thinking this) Krist and Gawins chemistry was a bit “meh” - it definitely has good moments, but overall I felt it was a little lacking
-
62. The Director Who Buys me Dinner
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
- On the first day of Dong Baeks new job his Director tells him, if they don't date they'll die- hint: past lives - expect unexpected tragedy
- This started out extremely strong, but I feel the story got a little confused as it kept going - but the leads casual chemistry kept this going
- Park Young Woon who plays the director is one of the best looking people I've ever seen on screen - its ridiculous
- They fake you out with a typical bad KBL kiss and then do an amazing one

Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
- A boy sees his best friend fatally hit by a bus, but he stands up a minute later - but then people start to lose the ability to see him
- This was such a heartbreakingly beautiful drama -I sobbed the full second half
- The leads just had the most beautiful relationship - they're so different but they are each others person and the drama makes it clear - there will never be anyone they'll love as much as each other
- The whole time you'll hope the ending is not what you're thinking, but I think it's best you know its exactly what you're thinking
-
66. HIStory3: Faça Valer a Pena
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
- The acting is beyond brilliant, again some insane chemistry
- The direction is actually amazing, I was obsessed with it
- seeing our 2 leads open up and fall in love was so beautiful
- BUT ONLY WATCH TILL EPISODE 9 if you like happy endings, because they decided that the best HIStory couple was the one they should give a sad ending to, which ended the HIStory franchise and apparently the writer stole the idea anyway...ugh but its so well made

- After ep1 I wasn't completely sold, but over the course of the first half I fell in love with these leads and their love

-
69. Hospedeiro Fantasma, Casa Fantasma

- Im not a fan of a time jump and I don’t feel it was completely necessary here, even though they tried to explain it

- Payu meets rain and bets him that he has to make him fall in love with him in the next 30 days

Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
- A comet is flying towards the earth - everyone will die in 10 days, at the library our lead runs into the man that broke his heart in college, they make a deal which leads them on a road trip

- I read the manga before and it is petty much a scene for scene, word for word adaptation which I appreciated

Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
- A boy gets into a car accident and swaps bodies with his sister - he has to team up with his ex-best friend to road trip to several shrines to reverse the swap
- Definitely not the best series ever BUT it was filled with EarthMix’s incredible natural chemistry and I LOVED every second of that
- The love these 2 characters felt was palpable and that’s completely down to EarthMix and why theyre one of my favourite gmmtv pairings
- The road trip element meant we really got to explore areas of Thailand (and their food) that we normally don’t see in Thai BLs
-
83. Star and Sky: Star in My Mind
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
- A boy admitted his feelings to another boy the day before he moves to another country - they meet again a couple years later at university
- This was cute - it was a fun binge watch - i probably wouldn't have liked it so much if I watched it as it aired
- The actors had really good chemistry - nice to Joong in another good pairing - he seems to have fabulous chemistry with all his partners
- It was cheesy and cliched, but as I said - fun - I'm looking forward to seeing JoongDunk in another (hopefully better) series
-
84. Meu Lindo Homem 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
- A continuation of their story in the first series
- i was so happy to spend more time with these interesting characters and it was so fun
- i liked the glimpse we got of their life together and relationship
- nothing really happens - only a bit of growth in the last episode, but it was still very cuteand messy like the first series
-
85. Para a Minha Estrela 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
- After getting together in series 1 jiwoo leaves with no explanation
- this was still fantastic and filled with emotion
- the leads chemistry is still 10/10
- but I really couldn‘t understand the motivations of one of the characters - I’ve read so many deep dive introspective fan essays and i just don’t get it - definitely my least fave work of Hwang Da Seul- but its still great
-
86. Kamisama no Ekohiiki
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
- Yashiro confesses to and is then rejected by his best friend, he makes a wish to turn intoa girl to be his best friends type
- This is a lot darker and more depressing than the whimsical plot makes it seem
- A really interesting cast of characters and I loved the tiny glimpse we got of our leads relationship - I was sad we only got 1 ep of them in their real bodies falling in love before they were separated again
- i really thought this was going to be one of my new all time favourites, butI didn’t love it as much as I thought I would - still it’s a beautiful drama
-
87. Gameboys
Filipino Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
- A beautiful, cheesy, sometimes cringey but always adorable socially distanced BL
- a livestream gamer and their fan meet online in lockdown
- the main couple are seriously cute (even though almost all their interactions are over video call)
- so surreal to see a drama embrace covid like this, but this one did it in a seriously smart and respectful way
-
88. Absolute BL
Japanese Special - 2021, 1 episode
- a man realises he's living as an extra in a BL he's gonna make sure he doesn't fall in love
- this was HILARIOUS - they gave us every single BL cliche ever
- the lead actor was brilliant so funny and melodramatic - I also loved him in the intro song
- I really loved the leads cute romance but I wish they'd sprinkled it in throughout the drama not just the final episode
-
89. Peixe no Céu
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
- Boy gets a makeover to get his crushes attention, but his competitor keeps getting in the way
- This was very very cute and definitely way above average
- so glad I watched it but that being said all the cliches made this a little forgettable in comparison to gmmtv dramas like 1000 stars
- Mix looked so adorable the whole way through which made my heart happy
-
90. Vida - Amor em Jogo
Japanese Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
- 2 boys walk into each other when they're 17 and spend the next 15 years in love
- this one was so sweet and then so painful
- yuki is my son and i would die for him
- gave it an extra star cause it gave History3 MODC an alternate happy ending
-
91. Beije-me Novamente
Thai Drama - 2018, 14 episodes
- BL couple are one of the 4 couples this drama follows
- you see how of Pete and Kao came to be (hint: it’s hate to love)
- 2nd drama in the Kiss series, its a prequel and my favourite of the 3 seasons, but watch it after ’Kiss: The Series’ and before ‘Dark Blue Kiss’
- Very tame and family friendly as most GMMTV BLs are
-
92. Você Me Faz Dançar
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
- 6th Korean BL
- A dancer in debt and his debtor spend time together and fall in love
- The first half I really didn't get all the love, but the second half is wow
- kinda earned its R-rating (by kdrama standards)
- It was incredibly sweet - at the end I teared up
-
93. Colegas de Quarto do Poongduck 304
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
- A rich boy is cut off by his father forced to work at his fathers company - so he moves into a flat with a landlord - the landlord later realises his annoying, spoiled tenant is his new boss
- This has the same leads as Kissable Lips, which i didn't really like, but this was a MILLION times better
- These 2 leads have good chemistry and a super comfortable with each other probably as it's their second project together
- It's a really simple opposites attract story, with thrown in forced proximity - its only 8 episodes so a simple story works well
-
94. Até nos Encontrarmos Novamente: A Série
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
- lovers from a past life reborn, so get the tissues
- great actors and in my opinion improved direction since Love By Chance
- really enjoyable and compelling first half, second half the constant crying was a bit too much and was so often it didn’t affect me anymore
- another really cute side couple who I wish got more screen time, second season anyone?
-

Japanese Special - 2023, 3 episodes

96. A Saborosa Flórida
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
- Boy moves to Seoul and catches the eye of 2 restaurant owners
- The chemistry in this was incredible and there were some fantastic scenes with the leads
- It was a really simple story but a fun quick watch
- Wanted the second couple to be a thing even more than the mains, but sadly no…
-
97. 21 Days Theory
Thai Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
- Q boy sees X as his biggest rival, X bets Q that he can’t get this popular girl to ask him out (hint thers a secret crush and lots of bickering)
- this is the definition of a hidden gem, it flew under everyones radar but it’s so cute
- The leads had a really fun dynamic and I loved that there was a mature queer character advising the younger characters here
- Theres no kiss, but it doesn’t really need one
-
98. We Are
Thai Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
-
99. Meu Dente, Seu Amor
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
- A dentist and a man who has childhood trauma about going to the dentist meet and feeling start to form
- I am usually a HUGE fan of this writers work - she's responsible for so many of my Taiwanese favourites but the writing here didn't work for me at all and the leads lacked chemistry (but had some cute moments once in a relationship)
- I was constantly so confused where these leads stood with each other - i didn't even know one lead considered himself to be straight until halfway through the drama
- The second couple were so so cute though - the moody bar manager training the 19yr old who has a huge crush on him- they were my favourite part but sadly barely had any screen time
-
