-
136. Pit Babe: Uncut
Thai Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
I looked forward to every episode (watched while on-air). My biggest complaint is that the last episode felt a bit rushed and Pete/Kenta or Pete/Way was underdeveloped.
Just saw the trailer for Pit Babe Season 2. -
137. Plus & Minus
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
-
139. Roommates of Poongduck 304
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

-
140. Sahara Sensei to Toki-kun
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
A student-teacher romance with an age gap of about 5-6 years. I thought Sahara was smart to step back until Toki graduated before pursuing the romantic side of their relationship.
-
141. Secret Crush on You
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
College RomCom. Ignore the "stalker" description in the synopsis. Toh is just over-the-top crushing on Nuea and may have hoarding tendencies. What I loved about this series: the tight friendship of Toh, Jao, Daisy and Som; and the representation: ML/ML, FL/ML, FL/FL couples. Intentionally campy so be prepared for second-hand cringe.
-
142. Semantic Error

Opposites attract in a university setting.
-
143. Shigatsu no Tokyo wa...

Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
So, so cute about two college roommates: a spirit medium and his human talisman.
-
149. Stay by My Side Special
Taiwanese Special - 2024, 1 episode
Cuteness overload. I couldn't stop smiling.
-
150. Stay with Me
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
This is an incredible BL, full of details and "clues" about the MLs' growing closeness, from the posters and artwork on the walls and the color schemes of clothing, lighting, etc. You can search for the Reddit on-air discussions for additional details, which was esp. useful for me on culture/language insights. SWM was adapted from book 1 of the novel "Are You Addicted?" by Chai Ji Dan, who was the screenwriter for this drama. Sadly, we're not getting the promised Season 2.
-
151. Step by Step
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Office drama; a bit of an HR nightmare.
-

154. Taikan Yoho
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Interesting BL where the leads seem to need an interpreter. Their failure to communicate is astounding but you just keep rooting for them. NC scenes were hot.
-
155. Takara-kun to Amagi-kun
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Takara is the cool, popular guy and Amagi is the cute, quiet kid who somehow catches Takara's eye. This is one of the cutest dramas, and I loved Katori 's role as their "relationship interpreter."
-

160. The Director Who Buys Me Dinner
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

-
161. The Eclipse
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
-
162. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
One of the best BLs of 2023. The leads had great chemistry. There were no many wonderful details that you may only notice on a rewatch, like color schemes and patterns. The camera work may seen up close and even shaky at times, but they really wanted to bring us into the show. At times, I felt like I was intruding into the character's personal space.
TW: Trauma, depression
-
163. The Love of Siam
Thai Movie - 2007
Currently on-hold
-
164. The New Employee
Korean Drama - 2022, 7 episodes
This could have been another HR nightmare but it was so well done.
-
165. The Sign
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Lots of action scenes and mystery. Very intriguing, esp. the fantasy elements. I almost rated this a 10/10 but the last episode felt a bit rushed.
-
166. The Tasty Florida
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
-
167. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
A classic. Although this was a Censored Adaptation Of Same-sex Original Work, they had done a fabulous job letting us know how much the MLs cared for and loved each other. I loved the drunk Lan Zhan scene where he gives chickens to Wei Ying, a common Chinese betrothal ritual. Exceptional chemistry between the leads.

-
175. To Sir, With Love
Thai Drama - 2022, 17 episodes
Set in 1930s and 1940s, Romance, Fantasy, Drama (I would say melodramatic, esp. for Song’s first and second wives). Thian has been groomed to take over the family business, but he has a secret that is costing lives. I love the relationship between brothers Yang and Thian.
