BL recommendations!

Oh I love rankings!

I've only been watching BLs since autumn, so my ranking would be a little different.

 1. Thailand (The holy Godmother BLs, responsible for all the Stereotypes, the good ones and the bad ones.)

2. Phillipines  (Has made at least 2 Outstandig BL-Dramas in 2020 with great support for the LGBT-Community.)

3. Taiwan (a little bit more serious and realistic than the other ones, has those their own charm)

4. Japan  ( Don't make enough BLS yet, but those are highly recommended) 

5. South-Korea (Are still in the Beginning Era of their Own BL-History, hope they will make a full standart BL-Drama in the near future.)

6. Vietnam (Unfortunately not supported on MDL, have they at least 7 or more BLs and will produce a lot of content in 2021)

 To be mentioned is that Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos are making their own BLs in 2021.

 Since China has banned gay content i wouldn’t rank it.

I didn't know about Vietnamese BLs until You Are Ma Boy! I went to put it on my PTW list and couldn't find it. lol That's when I discovered MDL doesn't cover all of Asia.

I haven't seen any Taiwanese bls and would love some recs.

I personally would rate China a bit higher.  Even though they don't make outright bl dramas, the ones with censored storylines ie The Untamed and Guardian blow it out of the water with the subtleness they portray.  It will have me all in my emotions and a wreck after watching.

The HIStory compilation series is definitely Taiwan's most iconic. The titles fans tend to like most are Trapped, Make Our Days Count, and Crossing the Line.

I've heard great things about Untamed and Guardian and I'm sure they're good despite the censorship. Personally, the thing I've appreciated most about BLs is that they've helped me become more accepting of my own gayness since coming out. So I need my BL dramas to be Gay with a capital G. lol

We best Love No.1 is a really good BL, also History 3/MODC and History 2/CTL.

Also Worthwatching and totally underrated are Craving You and Red Balloon.

I know History 3/Trapped is popular but I didn't a get  connenction to the Story

every time i see a straight Couple on a BL is like

I'm always wonder why are they doing  this

I always thought they made it, to make the  series more Realistic. So the opposite of 2gether, for example ,where  also the best friends/brothers (and maybe the whole Family) are becoming gay. 

I'll give both a try when they start, at least the first 2 episodes to see if they're any good.

Yeah I get that feeling lol. I watch a big variety of shows but I don't always have time to binge, so I mostly stick with airing dramas. I like trying the first 1 or 2 episodes of most of the shows starting that month and then deciding which ones to stick with. It's not fool-proof though because sometimes I get hooked by a really good beginning and then the rest is terrible. Nothing wrong with dropping dramas you aren't enjoying!
