must watch bls - my recs

genre: fantasy, time travel, historical, drama, romance, adapted from a novel

re-watch value: high 

my take: there is no better bl than this one. in my opinion, this is THE BEST bl out there. it  has a little bit of everything, and the romance in this bl is out of this world. it is the most romantic series i have ever watched. i love the characters and the story so much. 

genre: romance, drama

re-watch value: high

my take: this is probably gmmtv's best work. it consists of jimmysea who have been in one other series together as partners, and they convey all the right emotions of their characters so well in this bl. it is raw, emotional, romantic, playful, and you keep wanting more and more each episode aired. 

genre: food, romance, life, drama, age gap

re-watch value: high

my take: if you want to watch something where all the characters have chemistry with their on screen partners, than it doesn't get better than this. this starts out as a one night stand between the main leads that obviously progresses into something more. you also get a cute side story between two adolescent characters who have a unique and precious relationship with one another. 

genre: comedy, romance, university setting, enemies to lovers, adapted from a novel

re-watch value: high

my take: this is a bl i have probably re-watched the most out of anything i have watched so far. it is light and fun, but also has some drama and an emotional plot line keeping the story interesting. the two main leads have insane chemistry with each other, and their dynamic of being childhood friends, to enemies, to lovers is very entertaining. 

genre: romance, drama, melodrama, university setting

re-watch value: high

my take: this is the best korean bl out there. the cinematography in this drama is also a huge plus. this drama has some dark elements to it that keep the drama aspect very interesting as you learn about each of the main leads backstory. its storyline is very unique in comparison to a lot of other bls i have watched, and it really sucks you in to keep watching each episode back to back.

genre: music, comedy, romance, youth, high school setting, adapted from a novel

re-watch value: high

my take: if you like music based series, this is a must watch. this is not a bl you cringe at when a guitar comes to focus. the songs and all the characters in this series are super loveable, and it is a very fun watch. geminifourth won the hearts of not only thailand with this series, but all international countries. it also introduces winnysatang, who are incredibly adorable in here.

genre: romance, drama, family, life, slow burn, adapted from a novel

re-watch value: high

my take: 

genre: action, thriller, mystery, romance, drama, adapted from a novel

re-watch value: high

my take: this is gmmtv's best action series, in my opinion, even though i still have a few non-bl action series on my plan to watch list. offgun chemistry is off the charts, and this is by far their most successful series, and fans want them to play in more bl dramas like this one. the plot is very good, and the mystery element is very intriguing. 

genre: comedy, drama, romance, life, multiple main leads, adapted from a novel (two series in one)

re-watch value: high

my take: a very easy series to watch in a sitting. first half of the series focuses on phayurain, and second half focuses on prapaisky. both story lines are very different from each other, but compliment each other well. the chemistry is also off the charts, and there is a special episode for this series as well, which is extremely good.
