BL Dramas & Movies

BL draws my intention because it tends to show a romantic intimacy lacking in many main stream shows. Like in any genre, finding a drama or romantic comedy with an interesting storyline, that is well told and thoughtfully cast can be a bit, ‘hit and miss’. 

Please note only stories I have watched will be on this list. I will also endeavour to write comments about my reasons for my rating; however I won’t rewrite the synosis.

  • ABO Desire

    4. ABO Desire

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 16 episodes

    Our introduction production into the omegaverse was seamlessly done. Bias ideas meets obsession in this ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ drama.

    8.0

    8. A Shoulder to Cry On

    Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes

    9. A Tale of Thousand Stars

    Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    8.0

  • Addicted

    11. Addicted

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 15 episodes

    9.0

    The relationship is not as intense as the book due to Chinese restrictions. I recommend the two book series by Chai Jidan, which provides a sequel to the story. Warning, the books deal with 18+ issues.

    12. Advance Bravely

    Chinese Drama - 2017, 30 episodes

    8.0

    I sometimes get disappointed with being shown a bromance when I’ve read the novel of a gay romance. This is worth a watch; although it could have been so much better with a bit of skinship.

  • Boys Love: The Movie

    35. Boys Love: The Movie

    Japanese Movie - 2007

    One for an adult audience. Sleeping around, obsession, murder, rape. Leaves a bitter taste.

  • Cherry Blossoms after Winter

    36. Cherry Blossoms after Winter

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    8.5

    Another lovely drama, about the awkwardness of falling in love; with the added difficulty, of being gay in a  predominantly homophobic society. 

  • Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!
    8.5

    Unique storyline ... showcased the insecurity a persons has, about their partners feelings and thoughts.

    38. Close Friend

    Thai Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    There short stories are hit and miss in my opinion.

  • Coffee Melody Special Episode

    39. Coffee Melody Special Episode

    Thai Special - 2022, 2 episodes

    7.0

    This contradicted the previous episode. The issues that where newly raised could and should have been resolved in the last episode.

  • Coffee Melody

    40. Coffee Melody

    Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    7.0

    Thank god for the two couples acting ability … especially given they where required to repeat  the same dialogue over and over.This drama had some promise, yet badly needed better editing, a tighter script and more development of the romances.

    Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    Felt unfinished

  • Dare You to Death

    47. Dare You to Death

    Thai Drama - 2025, 10 episodes

    8.0

    Our leads play their usual cutesy couple. The storyline is mature and more interesting than usual, however it’s not polished.

    Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    8.0

    If you enjoyed main series, I’d skip this. Way too ambiguous.

  • Dominant Yakuza and Wimpy Corporate Slave

    51. Dominant Yakuza and Wimpy Corporate Slave

    Enjoyed this mini mini series for what it was. Would like to this concept fleshed out to a proper series.

    I’m mixed about this. Really didn’t like parts of the plot line. Made some interesting points though.

  • The Eighth Sense

    55. The Eighth Sense

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    8.5

    A more realistic and mature approach than most.

  • Even Sun

    56. Even Sun

    Thai Drama - 2022, 6 episodes

    7.5

    Good acting (for the most part). Bones of story were good. Needed another episode before the last showing the growing feelings of the  two couples … who seemed to jump from potential feelings to love, in the blink of an eye. Potential here for this to have been so much better. Credit to the main couple and a few of the supporting cast who saved this one.

  • Fake Fact Lips

    57. Fake Fact Lips

    Japanese Drama - 2026, 9 episodes

    8.5

    Loved this entertaining offbeat romance … it pulled me into a world that felt like destiny.

    Japanese Drama - 2026, 1 episode

    Extension of episode that brought the story full circle.

  • Gen Y

    64. Gen Y

  • Given

    66. Given

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    I had read most of the Magna so I knew the storyline … probably helped my enjoyment of this drama … although it only covered the first books, not the series.

  • Goddess Bless You from Death

    67. Goddess Bless You from Death

    Thai Drama - 2025, 13 episodes

    8.5

    Recommend. Since I’ve watched this coupling before I wanted to see different character personalities this time round; unfortunately only Pavel’s character exhibited this somewhat. Really enjoyed the dynamic of the second couple … Michael’s acting in particular.

  • Golden Blood

    68. Golden Blood

    Thai Drama - 2021, 8 episodes

    8.0

    Better direction would have done wonders. Liked that the friend group/potential lovers was a mixed group and not all male.

  • Happy of the End

    69. Happy of the End

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    Unable to rate this drama; it’s raw, confronting. Not for everyone. But the end made me happy.

  • Happy Merry Ending

    70. Happy Merry Ending

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.5

    Enjoyed this well done drama.

    Cute

  • I Feel You Linger in the Air

    77. I Feel You Linger in the Air

    Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    8.5

    The slightly higher mark is for the commitment to eras demonstrated. Comfusing ending.

  • I Hear the Sunspot

    78. I Hear the Sunspot

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    8.5

    This is a 8.5 plus rating. I really enjoyed the quality of acting from the lead couple.

  • I Told Sunset about You

    79. I Told Sunset about You

    Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes

    8.5

    This handled the struggle of coming to terms with falling for a person of the same gender as well as the fear of confronting possible family and society bias (if choosing to move forward), really well.

  • I Promised You the Moon

    80. I Promised You the Moon

    Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes

    8.5

    Sequel to, I told you about sunset. Whilst my heart broke for Oh-aew, I did enjoy this well directed drama.

    Lovely surprise, really enjoyed. Good comedy. Well directed.

  • Individual Circumstances

    82. Individual Circumstances

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    Another chance. … with an understanding of individual feelings. And forgiveness/compassion of the consequence's of a lack of communication.

  • Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! (Uncut Ver.)

    83. Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! (Uncut Ver.)

    Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    8.5

    I like this cast and the humour in the script. This couple is magnetic to watch. Although the storyline was strange in parts.

  • Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! Special Episode

    84. Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! Special Episode

    Thai Special - 2025, 1 episode

    Spoiler … I didn’t see the need for death, severely injured  or rescued from the brink of death with anmesia, eventually regaining  his memory, would have sufficed as a ‘separation’. By  the way, Jack, Arun and possibly one of the others should have been hospitalised given their injuries. Wish I hadn’t watched the special … and because of my viewpoint I’m not rating it. I couldn’t be fair.

  • Jack o' Frost

    85. Jack o' Frost

    Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes

    8.0

    Not an easy watch, but worth watching… a unique  viewpoint

  • KinnPorsche

    90. KinnPorsche

    Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes

    9.0

    An adult gay romance, so a breath of fresh air in the genre. Touched on many darker aspects of life. Left loose ends in character relationships  between family members and non main couples. In my top five. Tong Thanayut Thakoonauttaya deserves an award for his portrayal of Tankhun.

  • KinnPorsche Side Story

    91. KinnPorsche Side Story

    Thai Special - 2022, 1 episode

    8.5

    Should have been included in the main story.

  • Laws of Attraction

    95. Laws of Attraction

    Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.0

    Focus was more on storyline than romance. Majority of acting was good, but the bad couple of actors were quite awful.

  • Life in Smokey Blue

    96. Life in Smokey Blue

    Japanese Drama - 2026, 10 episodes

    9.0

    A beautiful, realistic snapshot in the life of of two growing adults.

  • Life: Love on the Line (Director's Cut)

    97. Life: Love on the Line (Director's Cut)

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    8.5

    Ito is one of the luckiest characters ever. Spanning many years, this movie focuses on being brave enough to be honest with yourself AND live your own life.

  • Light

    98. Light

    Taiwanese Movie - 2021

    8.5

    Adult. Although involves prostitution it is a heartwarming story

  • Light on Me

    99. Light on Me

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Interesting choice for the main characters personality; at first I thought he had a form of autism, as he is genuinely honest. Enjoyed the insightful friend character, who only ever wished everyone happiness. My emotions swayed with this one.

  • Like Love

    100. Like Love

    Chinese Drama - 2014, 15 episodes

    8.5

    I enjoyed this, however in my opinion it’s unconcluded. The sequel stopped part way through?
