BL series I would actually recommend watching

This list is not about my favourites, even though it includes some of my faves , it's more about BLs that I think any BL watcher with varied tastes and who is interested in being entertained at a certain level of quality for story and acting, would enjoy.

  • The Untamed

    1. The Untamed

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes

    10

    Despite censorship, this drama is unrivaled for chemistry, feels, story and casting.

  • The Spirealm

    2. The Spirealm

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 78 episodes

    10

    Excellent quality BL, almost my number one, if not for the last 8 minutes of the series being affected by censorship.

  • The Eighth Sense

    3. The Eighth Sense

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    10

    Equal to a South Korean SKAM imo

  • Semantic Error

    4. Semantic Error

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    10

    Great cast and chemistry. Nice non-messy story and I'm a sucker for the size difference between the ML's.

  • I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version

    5. I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version

    Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    10

    Across the board, great watch.

  • Together with Me

    6. Together with Me

    Thai Drama - 2017, 13 episodes

    10

    Unrivaled in BL for physical chemistry between the ML's, as well as a fantastic supporting cast and a lot of humor. Not overacted (unless the scene calls for it) and the appearance and acting of the cast and the scenes are far more natural.

  • Century of Love

    7. Century of Love

    Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

    10

    Absolutely enjoyed it from start to finish. Quality BL.

  • Love in Translation: Uncut

    8. Love in Translation: Uncut

    Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    10

    I don't even care that the  two gay brothers angle is very unrealistic, this show checked all the boxes for a well deserved 10. DaouOffroad are a W pair.

  • Dead Friend Forever - DFF

    9. Dead Friend Forever - DFF

    Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    10

    Don't watch this for the BL, watch this for the PLOT. Really good show, perfect ending. Nuf said.

  • This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans

    10. This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans

    Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    10

    Solid and complete BL story, good consistency from ep 1 to 8. The side couple had some over the top scenes but the balanced out in the end. The main couple had a good balance throughout.

  • Together with Me: The Next Chapter

    11. Together with Me: The Next Chapter

    Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes

    9.5

    MaxTul® continue to rock that physical chemistry like no other. Storyline takes an ooc twist, but the overall message and point of this second season slid home successfully.

  • We Best Love: No. 1 For You Special Edition

    12. We Best Love: No. 1 For You Special Edition

    Taiwanese Special - 2021, 6 episodes

    9.5

    Rewatching it made me appreciate this show much more than I did the first time.

  • We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd Special Edition

    13. We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd Special Edition

    Taiwanese Special - 2021, 6 episodes

    9.5

    Second season rewatch was worth it, still holds up.

  • My Tooth Your Love

    14. My Tooth Your Love

    Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    10

    Not sure how this one flew under my radar for as long as it did. It's one of the best and more fulfilling depictions of the friends to lovers (i.e: established relationship) BLs. I do think the 3rd and 4th pairings were unnecessary, but they also weren't central to the plot, so it didn't affect anything really.

  • DNA Says Love You

    15. DNA Says Love You

    Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

    9.5

    Interesting plot, quite well executed (considering the subject matter), nice chemistry between the ML's.

  • Sugar Dog Life

    16. Sugar Dog Life

    Japanese Drama - 2024, 9 episodes

    9.5

    Nothing complicated, fluff perfectly executed. It ain't deep, but it's a pleasant watch from start to finish.

  • To My Star

    17. To My Star

    Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes

    9.5

    All around good feels with this one, despite a little angst here and there. Great ML's. Son Woo Hyun is fantastic 

  • To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories

    18. To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories

    Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes

    9.5

    More angst in this second part, but still a good story, albeit a little frustrating. The ending is a great pay off though.

  • Step by Step

    19. Step by Step

    Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    9.5

    Don't let the rating and complaints about one half of the ML's fool you, this show is worth watching, it serves for several episodes and delivers a good finish with only minor drawbacks in between.

  • You Make Me Dance

    20. You Make Me Dance

    Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes

    9.5

    Underrated BL if you ask me.  It's a short, sweet treat with good chemistry.
    I like how both the ML's are trying so hard to give off 'I love you bro, no homo' vibes at first, while actually having a healthy amount of chemistry/UST from the very beginning.

  • Not Me

    21. Not Me

    Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes

    9.5

    It has a whole plot, and it was actually a pretty good plot too.

  • The Sign

    22. The Sign

    Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes

    9.5

    We could use more BLs with fantasy stories. Billy and Babe served quite well, I LOVE the fight scenes, and the supernatural plot was interesting (the weak police investigation scenes notwithstanding). The special ep was terrible though, I'd recc skipping it unless you're up for more bad police work and a subpar quality plot.

  • My Only 12%

    23. My Only 12%

    Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes

    9.0

    I don't usually enjoy high school based shows, so this was a difficult watch for me initially, but it's so well done and well acted and just a very good story in the end. I don't regret watching it at all. Earth (Cooheart) and Santa immediately became some of my faves after watching this.

  • Jun & Jun

    24. Jun & Jun

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    8.5

    Uncomplicated and enjoyable, good ML chemistry.

  • First Note of Love

    25. First Note of Love

    Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    8.0

    It was Nice. With a capital N. Just Nice. Nice enough to enjoy without complaint.
