Kayla's Personal Favorites

My favorite thing in the universe. I love MDZS so much and CQL was my first introduction so subsequently its my favorite adaptation. They could not have chosen a better cast for this and I could honestly rewatch it 1000 times and still find something new to be blown away by. Be prepared to cry because this show knows nothing but tragedy tbh lmao

THE HOLD THIS SHOW HAS ON ME!!!!!!! It literally took every cliche wattpad fanfic trope in existence and made them GOOD??? Its fun and silly but also the serious scenes are done SO WELL. It's so obvious how much care went into making this series. I'd like to give a special shoutout to Bible for his role as Vegas. He really blew me away with his acting. Honestly VegasPete in general rocked my world I'll never be over them. A really well balanced show in my personal opinion.

P'Aof has done it again and made an S Tier show. Bad Buddy is funny, cute, emotional, well acted, it has some absolute BANGERS for OSTs. The Romeo and Juliet concept is something we've seen a million times before but this is done so well that it never felt stale or repetitive. Ohm and Nanon have become two of my absolute favorite actors thanks to this. Bad Buddy also gave us a GL couple and any show with a GL couple is an immediate 10 stars in my book. I'm not good with words so I can't accurately describe how this show made me feel but just know I'm incredibly emotionally attached to it.

The worst group of friends known to man and I love every single one of them. THE TOXICITY! THE DRAMA! Oh I ate up every single second of this. That being said it does have some really raw, emotional moments. The acting is honestly spectacular. I've seen all the main cast in other roles before and they really brought their A game to this series. I was especially impressed by Book in this one. The switch from very kind, levelheaded Mew to a Mew that is being fueled by revenge and is just so damn angry was so seamless! He really killed it. I really hope we can get more shows like this from GMMTV.

This is an actual masterpiece. I love all the Thai BL dramas I've seen but we have to be honest here, most of them aren't groundbreaking pieces of television. They don't have high production value and sometimes the writing and acting can be pretty cheesy. I Told Sunset About You is another story entirely. The acting, writing, cinematography are all IMMACULATE. If you find the normal BL formula cringy, I highly recommend this. It's a honest portrayal of two boys coming to terms with their sexuality with no sugarcoating around it. Very raw and emotional I love it so much. Again, I'm only adding ITSAY here but I thoroughly enjoyed the sequel series I Promised You The Moon as well and think a lot of people's reactions to that are slightly unjustified.

I'm Chinzhilla's biggest fan!!! This show is so wholesome and funny and cute. A really, really great feel-good show. Captures puppy love so unbelievably well and close knit high school friendships even better. All the acting is A++ and the OSTS???????? omfg best soundtrack of any BL I've ever watched. Absolute banger of a show. GeminiForth are really going places.

I never thought I'd be into xianxia dramas but here I am. I fell in love with this series immediately.  I absolutely adore that both of these characters live in a moral grey area (Wen Kexing more than Zhou Zishu but you get it). It makes them so much more interesting as characters and adds so much more to the series than if they were just strictly heroes. There are so many incredible side characters that every scene and storyline keeps my attention. If you love MDZS, there is a very very high probability you'll love this as well. This will also make you SOB by the end so be prepared lmao

My favorite Boys Over Flowers adaptation to date. Its a fraction of the episodes of other versions I've seen but the pacing is honestly done so well. All the core elements and plot points are there but a lot of the toxic elements have been toned down a lot which is really nice. It made the main couple's love story more believable. The acting is so good too! Props to Tu, Dew and Nani on killing it in their first project. I love all of these characters so much honestly <3

This show is so stinkin cute and funny and wholesome!!!! It's lighthearted but still has some good messages. An amazing Feel-Good show, I can guarantee it will make you smile <3 There's not much else to be said about this one honestly. It's just Good

This is a feel good show while still showing a honest portrayal of coming to terms with your sexuality and struggling to be your true, authentic self. It's cute and silly but very realistic and sweet. It's everything a high school romance drama should be. The friendships are just as endearing as the romances. It's impossible to not love these characters! It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside <3

A very sweet, innocent show. Genuinely funny and cute. I love how lighthearted but realistic it is in showing two teens trying to navigate having feelings for each other. Ida being confused about the idea of love in general and Aoki's openness to love but fears of discrimination for falling for a boy are important stories to tell. I think this show will be great help to a lot of queer youth trying to come into themselves.

Sometimes you just want to sit down and watch a romantic comedy and this one is truly incredible. It definitely has it's ~Dramatic~ moments the way any kdrama does but nothing over the top. All the characters have amazing chemistry (romantic or otherwise) and it's so easy to love all of them. This is also one of the only love triangles I've ever been expose to where I literally could not pick a side. Both leading male characters are just So Good ugh

MY COMFORT BOYS!!! 2gether was my first Thai BL and still my absolute favorite. It's truly such a feel good show and Bright & Win's chemistry is outstanding. I'm only putting 2gether on here because Still 2gether is just an extension of this so there's no need to put both. BUT YOU SHOULD WATCH BOTH!!! Not only to see more Sarawatine but to see more development for the side couples as well. It's by no means the best BL I've ever seen but it's perfect to meeee <3
