BLove

yes yes ... I hear you. #1? How can I?  Well, I just love these two- what can I say?

Holy shit.

censored adaptation of BL original novel. No actual BL in it but the FEEEELZ

I recently read in a review: BL often shows problematic/imbalanced relationships. Fact. TharnType is one of them. Type is more than a bratty bottom, he's dominant, selfish, impulsive, controlling and let's not gloss over the 3 instances of physical abuse . But it makes his role very compelling. And it's not like Tharn doesn't start out coercive. The show has weaknesses but I really like the power reversal. And in the end: the ice cube kiss. #GulfMew have the best chemistry & Mild as P'No = <3

this should really be the gold standard of BL

a rare gem. Chinese Mainland BL without censoring. It got banned before it finished- just take these delicious 15 eps and treasure them well!

amazing chemistry and well developed friends.

A second season that is not a simple relationship rollercoaster!

honestly my favourite HIStory installment. 

The sweetest, cutest mini romance. This will make you grin stupidly.

for a serious day. Heart-wrenching perfection.

End of 2021 is bringing us some out of the box BL. We're leaving the uni tropes and getting some gritty stories. GunOff are off the charts, great cinematography and writing & great support cast and second ship

4 eps is way too short for the lovely story. Both MLs are stunning, no stereotipical BL roles, very decent  kissing all around.

I love Third (portrayed masterly by Gun) and I cried not because it's that sad but because his suffering resonates in me. Delaying my rewatch because I am afraid it will not give me the same delicious suffering again.

Saint & Zee=steamy!

the sexual tension in this drama is wild - the cinematography and OST have me on my knees.

considering it's by MAME it's actually a very gentle relationship. Saint and Perth are not really ship-material but it's one of my favourites that I rewatch all the time.

note to self: DO NOT - I repeat - DO NOT watch season II. The reviews are awful. Don't spoil it by watching them milk a dry cow.

Somebody give that writer an oscar for creating Gene - the maturest ML in the history of BL - awesome chemistry

ohlala~~ Taiwanese Korean Co-production with lot's of man-handling

novel idea. very cute. vanilla. The role fits Singto to a T

intensly erotic & kinky, and mildly dark at times. Three things I always count on with Japanese BL. This one delivered and it was great.

amazing chemistry. lots of skinship. The top Korean  BL on the list

mini movie

sweet, endearing, slow-pace love story.

very vanilla. This could have done with a bit lot more skinship. 

they cast the holy trinity of BL and didn't make a BL - But 8 eps of fanservice <3

mini movie. Very early BL : 2004

watched the 4h fan cut, which is much better than the official cut . solid enemies to lovers

This is hilarious - I am laughing all the way to ep30. (what follows reads as sarcasm:) This is the story of 3 friends: 1 acquires a boy toy, 1 plays sugar daddy and the last developes a ginormous man-crush on a guy who cooks, raises birds, does half-naked kung fu in the rain, has a sexy motor bike, and bangages feet (did I miss one?)
I cannot believe grown men agreed to film this. XD There is no story arc. No continous story unfolds, there is no drama, no twist, no problem, just episode after episode of hilarious encounters (or if any progress can be seen, it's in the increasing degrees for casual skinship between MLs). So random - and what is going on with that ending? so abrupt. 9* for eyecandy, good skinship and hilarity. But nothing special.

cheezy. But there is just something about dancing men that's just really beautiful.

Mix and earth mini movie + MV. More pls!

mini movie

Special EPs are not usually my thing, but this one ties in nicely

Not the obsession/powerplay story it was made out to be. But very good writing non-theless.

Watched for Mild (P'No in LBC). Charming movie .
I either need to uprate WBL or down rate this. cannot decide. They should be the same

This was the first drama of the 2020 BL boom. Same writer who wrote most of the HIstory Series.

So much better than you might expect! Even Oh's story line really grows on you! Very good character developement and well developed friends

binged it! strong for a BL - decent for a crime drama. Still some of the best snogging 

The most hilarious parody of BL.

Watch for New, men in swimming trunks and some daddy-kink (the side couples are a mess in this one)

fun ride. some very good  scenes. I actually preferred the side couple in this. In the end it gets a bit cliché. BL outside the engineering faculty (although it's not like that is relevant to the story)

watch for MewGulf's chemistry and Mild as P'No is still the master of hilarious facial expressions. The power play got much toned down. Type is practically tame. Delicious skinship, but the story is meh with a dash of anticlimax towards the end. #trigger warning: This drama gave me slump

Better than most K-BL.

The dance scene is one of the most expressive and subtle things I've seen. I was quite surprised by this short series, although the story is nothing special.

I watched about half way so far. It's tricky bc the series explains a lot more details. Maybe I should have watched this first. Much better chemistry between leads but a bit confusing at times. 

Ep1: Off x Gun (Puppy Honey) - bit of a freaky friday thing.
Ep2:  (My dear loser) - the happy ending. beautiful Thai country side. They have  a very gentle dynamic.
Ep3:  (Cause you're my boy)   - -
Ep4: Pete x Kao: weirdly enchanting story. Kao being a bit bossy here suits him and Pete being obidient is very sexy. Loved the tangerine tree!
Ep5: Kongpob x Arthit. Weak story but powerful acting. and now it's really over :(

really really really cute and funny and well done. <== that's the most non-descript comment on this list. But for the life of me, I have nothing more concrete to say. The actors are young in this, so I don't feel the same kind of pull as with other dramas.

The tag is #wholesome. If you are still waiting for a dark, forbidden teacher-student story - this is not it

CAVE: only 1 of 2 get a HEA :(  - but good chemistry

Loved the premise. really something new. CAVE: it gets a little dark at the end. But there's a HEA

This one is actually very good. Good chemistry, good acting, solid story. But the middle and end were not my cup of tea story-wise. 

The lockdown video format is super cute. Feels very natural and more like an revamped Bravo lovestory

Really intense powerplay and role inversion, but I could have done without the rape scene.  but HEA of  a sort... #TagsDon'tLie

Another relationship rollercoaster. Not sure I can take it after Together with me 2.
1 ep in and it's already exhausting and a rehash of Together with me - will probably remain unfinished

I actually loved the idea and dynamic of this. But it's a bit rushed at points and confusing. Mark was a great character.  They announced a special which would be an exptention but no airing date so far

Formula17 was the first BL I ever saw. Not just Asian.

Curious picture story format. Bad case of Second Lead Syndrome

actually a bit non-descript

based on a historical person. filmed like a tale. no great depth

sort of feels like a prequel to HIS - the movie. It's not, but you could watch it that way.  The end was a bit abrupt.

mini series. butterflies and coffee romance. open-end

mini movie. Same feel but not as good as 'Just-Friends?'

really well done body switch

ah... this one had mixed reviews. Fortunately the Jongjie/XingSi storyline is my kink- so i loved this one. The rest is disgustingly sweet ;)

TikTok web format. 5min eps, not high-end but really well executed considering

Is it even BL if the soul occupying the body is technically female?

faux-incest really works for me

that took a bad turn towards the end. I think this is the only time on this list I can confidently use the adjective romantic.

Gun and OFF are awesome as usual. I like this slightly emotional abuse to their dynamic. But here their story is just superficial. Nothing compared to theory of love

look beyond the childish title. Watch for the original OffxGun. Gun on the offense

yay for rocking the sub-genre!

time-travelling theme.

I can't even remember watching this - lol

somehow the age-gap is awkward... or they just don't feel comfortable acting together... idk

Oho - look at Ohm suddenly showing off all kinds of cheekbones and flirting skills! He really outgrew the gentle features of He's coming to me. 

Strong start. Watch for the iconic kiss in ep 5. Thereafter your either love it or hate it.

Gun as ML! But I think I preferred Gun as hapless, clueless senior getting seduced by a younger man. Very odd chemistry in this one and the back story is a bit ridiculous.

dnf. sue me. Probably works for most people, though.

dnf. 

Remake of Japanese original. This role does not fit Singto to a t. He's just too teddy bear to pull off the irresistible gay conquerer. I wish I could give this a higher rating...

Sorry, were you expecting a wholesome relationship or a morale at the end?  What part of the title gave you that misguided idea?   The problem is more they try to combine obsession with rom-com that just does not work for me

I am just not an anthology lover.
Ep1: story: meh. romance: soso
Ep 2: -
Ep3: for Boun x Prem - very nice dynamic. they are so adorable.

Nice flirting- but overladen with side stories.  

mediocre across the board.

bland.

boring

dnf. manga adaptation - the usual problem: what works in panels does not work irl

This one has nothing on BoysLockdown. Some cute scenes.

Reviews foreshadow a big disappointement. I should have believed them.
Reasons this didn't work for me: too many too count. Reason I still gave 4 stars: Toptap and Mike

30 min into the movie and nothing has happened yet. ... booooring

dnf. nil character depth, no recogniseable storyarch, and sooo old-fashioned for a 2021 BL.

with a little bit of effort this might have been better off as a psychological thriller. so bad. so much crying and long stares and dragging

It's cheap, and cringey. The story is ridiculous and the acting very stiff. Watch this if you want to be cheered up and smile at how bad this is.

dnf.

Should have been been Saint x Zee. Unfortunately script like a fanfic of a 12-year old,  if you can't find a better cliffhanger than Zee looking at you like he will eat you right up, you really really really have nothing to say.

dnf. Foody BL. Interesting dynamic. #AbsBeforeEp3

dnf. the speed of this is positively glacial and the chemisty is equally frosty. But the foodporn and music are nice

dnf. oh lord. I can't even. Sooo overacted.

dnf.
