BL Masterlist Ranked (All countries)

This is my complete master list ranking the better BLs and movies (where it's a main theme) that I've watched from the following countries: Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Philippines and Mainland China.
Note I'm only including BLs that I rate a 8 or higher! I've now removed any series that I haven't rated higher than a 8/10. I previously had listed all series I'd watched but there were too many to maintain this list order lol.

This is my personal ranking of each drama depending on how much I generally enjoyed each from best to worst. My ratings may differ a bit from my overall numbered ranking as there are often obvious flaws with a show where I still overall enjoyed the show a lot. (Plus some are just guilty pleasures that may not necessarily be a "good" show lol).

Note that some shows included like Friendzone and the Shipper aren't fully BL shows- but I'm rating the BL component here. (I will mark these in the comments/notes for each)

Chemistry between Max and Tul is hot af as usual. The main crime plot line is a little boring and unrealistic at times- but I'm rating for the BL component here.

9. The Novelist

Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes

8.0

A very mature and convoluted story. I think the reason this is so good is mostly due to the nuance and skill in Takezai Terunosuke's acting. I found this one interesting and seductive where I expected to hate it after reading the synopsis.

Really interesting concept- very unique BL. Absolutely loved!
16. Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area

Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

7.5

I'm rating the BL component of the show here but note it's an ensemble cast show with multiple straight couples. This show has the spicy OTT drama I live for- much more fun than the first season. The episode opening and ending tracks are great and go perfectly with the vibes of the show.
17. Love in the Moonlight

Thai Drama - 2025, 12 episodes

8.0

21. Moonlight Chicken

8.5
22. Gay OK Bangkok

Thai Drama - 2016, 5 episodes

8.5

Think like the Thai version of Queer as Folk or Sex and the City (but with Gay men). A more realistic, adult take that I would more class as mature LGBT+ storytelling rather than "BL".
23. To My Star

Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes

9.5
24. Ghost Host, Ghost House

Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

26. A Tale of Thousand Stars

Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

Heartfelt, wholesome story with a setting outside the BL college campus/highschool.
27. The Eighth Sense

Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

8.5
28. Diary of Tootsies

Thai Drama - 2016, 12 episodes

8.0

More of a comedy with LGBT+ chars than a true BL drama. Hilarious but note there's only one real "BL" couple you will swoon over here. Enjoyable and funny overall.
