BL Series and Movies

This is an amazing BL story that was hampered by the Chinese censorship laws, but I still think that the crew and actors behind the series did amazingly well. The MLs are just... amazing. I do think that the passionate fandom behind this series ended up saving it because at one point they were going to give one of the ML's a female love interest, but the fandom rallied hard against that. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are both amazing actors, and the story is great. My only complaint is that it is FIFTY episodes long, which isn't unusual for a Chinese show but is still a lot, and that the flashback was just so so long when I really wanted to get to the current relationship between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan.

Definitely a must-watch IMO, I've watched the donghua and read the books as well and it's just wonderful.

I think you should realize from the title that this is an 18+ NSFW show, but if you don't here is your warning. This was interesting and honestly not bad, but it was definitely a Japanese show in that they like to mess with your emotions a fair amount. I would classify it as being bittersweet, but I wasn't mad at the end. There is both a prequel and a sequel that I have not seen, and I don't know if I will watch them TBH, but for a movie, it wasn't bad.

Watch it if you want something a little bit funny, a little bit spicy and a little bit melancholy. If you are around sensitive company, wear headphones.

Okay, let's put it this way- I watched this once, didn't mark it as completed in my MDL, promptly forgot that I watched it, so I watched it again. It's cute, don't get me wrong, but it didn't stick in my head as a standout show. That being said, I did finish my rewatch of it so it isn't bad, just... average? Even now my goldfish brain is having issues recalling what happened in it, and I watched it just over a week ago. Also, they tried to make an obviously attractive person seem less attractive by making him a 'geek' but failed miserably IMO.

Watch it if you want something lighter- it's not bad, just not outstanding.

I've tried to start watching this a couple of times and it just hasn't happened yet- something about it isn't grabbing my attention and I end up stopping before the first episode is over. Maybe it's because it's older, maybe it's because it's high school kids, hell maybe it's because of Drake's eyebrows- I don't know. I will try again when I'm desperate maybe.

I love KornKnock, and I started watching this for them (Yiwah is also pretty great tbh) but I got to episode 8 and dropped it for some reason. I think it's worth a watch if you love KornKnock, but since Together With Me was filmed after this the stories don't exactly match up. It is mainly a straight drama, so be aware of that.

This has an incredibly pretty cast- like wow. It's sweet and frustrating like your general BL, some of the plot points felt a little drawn out but overall I don't regret watching this one. It gets extra points for being Taiwanese, simply because yay legalized gay marriage.

Watch if you have the time and want something a little sweet and a little angsty with decent, attractive actors.

I skipped the main couple and watched this just for OffGun tbh. It's okay and cute, but if you want OffGun you're better off watching Theory of Love or Not Me.

It's a classic- can you really say that you watch BL if you haven't watched SOTUS?

I'm not going to lie, I haven't watched this yet. As much as SOTUS is one of the granddaddies of BL shows, KristSingto have not been one of my favourite couplings as I don't always feel their chemistry. I also have some issues with Krist as he made some remarks regarding homosexuality that left a bad taste in my mouth- unfortunately I have a hard time separating the art from the artist when it comes to LGBT+ issues, so if I find out that an actor disparages the community after directly benefitting from a role in a BL, I just don't want to watch them anymore.

This is on my Not Interested list, but I have heard from some SOTUS fans that they enjoyed it.

I'm watching as it is airing and getting mad at how short the episodes are. Is it groundbreaking? No, but it's really cute and has a somewhat fresh concept. I am interested to see where they take it, so for now I would say watch it, but if you aren't patient then wait until it's fully aired because a week's wait for only half an hour is just a crime.

I'm currently watching this as it's airing and wow I am obsessed- I hope it lives up to my expectations- will update when completed, but for now- WATCH IT.

I'll watch it one day, when I do my rewatch of 2gether- I just was too mad to watch it when it first came out. Stupid high-five.

Another classic, and a much-needed full series for OffGun. A little cheesy at some points and funny at others, definitely worth a watch IMO.

I love Tharntype, I need to watch this- I will watch it. I just have to prepare my heart for it.

Yes, it has problematic elements. Yes, I still love it. The first 3 to 4 episodes are always a bit cringey and difficult to get through but the chemistry and everything beyond that makes up for it.
