My Top 10 BL (Series)
For all the BL series I've seen: https://mydramalist.com/list/LlPJmOdL
I try to rate on a more objective scale that I use for all dramas rather than simply 'by BL standards.'
Subject to change as I watch more series. Also maybe a bit of recency bias.

![Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo]()
1. Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
I love how this didn't feel like a typical BL drama. I think the first couple episodes are genuinely a perfect 10/10.

![Secret Relationships]()
2. Secret Relationships
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
Roller coaster ride of a story that was engaging all throughout.
-
![Not Me]()
3. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
The first BL drama I ever watched. A bit campy like most BL but very heartfelt with great characters.

![Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo]()
4. Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo
Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
Very short but very sweet story that felt authentically queer. Also really loved the MC and the summer setting.
-
![Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island]()
5. Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island
Chinese Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
Probably one of the most beautiful looking BL out there with excellent cinematography. A good watch despite some confusing plot elements.
-
![To My Shore]()
6. To My Shore
Chinese Drama - 2025, 15 episodes
Intoxicatingly twisted tale of obsession. Easily one of the best red/"black flag" MLs in a BL coupled with a strong-willed MC who actually has agency.

7. The Bangkok Boy
Thai Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
A good action-driven drama that just so happens to be BL and with a really strong cast of characters.
-
![HIStory3: Trapped]()
8. HIStory3: Trapped
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
Really solid mix of comedy and crime drama with enemies to lovers. Side couple is great too.
-
![School Trip: Joined a Group I’m Not Close To]()
9. School Trip: Joined a Group I’m Not Close To
Japanese Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
Pretty typical highschool romance with unpopular MC x popular ML but with a fun and lovable cast of characters.
-
![Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!]()
10. Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Really funny and with a unique premise. Fake dating with super sweet and caring ML.
