Less favourites
I'm less likely to watch them again OR like them less than main list (but will rewatch here and there). Trying to keep main favourites shorter.
Half in some sort of order. Keeps changing. Only my main favourites will be more organized. Also missing stuff, forgot to add some at a point.
-
1. The Boy Next Door
Korean Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
Bromance not BL. Fucking stupid. Fucking hilarious.
First place just to ''separate'' it. But it is that good. -
2. Unintentional Love Story
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Really well written and shot, but not the kind I'll rewatch often.
Would have loved more from the side ''couple'' (guy with a weird half sleeve/neck tatt.) -
3. Kinou Nani Tabeta?
Japanese Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Realistic and domestic show about the real struggle of being gay (or bi I guess) in Japan. Reaaally good, it's just not the kind I will binge often.
-
4. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
Really good awkward teen romance.
But too much second hand embarrassment for me to want to binge this often so it's in this list.
-
5. Ai no Kotodama
Japanese Movie - 2007
Ootani Shinya [ IxTx sp/so ] x Tachibana Miyako [ ExFx so/sx ]
Look, I think it's the first ''BL movie'' I've watched as a teen, or at least the first I watched that I liked and still like.
It's very basic but I like it, minus the cringy scene at the end if I recall correctly. -
6. My Pistachio
Korean Movie - 2018
Watched: 3 times
A cute short film. Wish there was more, but it's good as it is as well. -
7. Dark Blue and Moonlight
Taiwanese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
Bittersweet, flawed characters.
-
8. Red Balloon
Taiwanese Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
Watched: 2 times
Catchy AF OST... bittersweet, past and future glimpses? That's all I can recall rn, but it was good. Need to rewatch -
9. Love Tractor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
For people that like a lot of cheese. There was no forced drama, dumb misunderstanding and both leads where mature.
Way too cheesy for me though (One simple minded/very affectionate-friendly lead)
-
10. HIStory2: Crossing the Line
Taiwanese Special - 2018, 8 episodes
The step-sibling bros creep me out, but the main ones are fine. Like the way they act. Body language and shit.
Plus like the sister crush plot line, it's kinda funny even if stupid, which seems to be the point.
-
11. You Make Me Dance
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
-
12. Views of Love: Grey Rainbow
Thai Drama - 2016, 4 episodes
Only watch Ep 1 and 2 only for a happy ending version, but the rest is also good, even considering the ending.
Really realistic and not fetishized at all. One is bi, and not ''I'm not gay, I only like you'', which... good.
-
13. Be My Favorite
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
The sound editing seriously sucked (pretty much a thai drama thing it feels), but it's good to me.The music changes and all were often jarring, but way more tame than usual (which is good).
Story was pretty interesting. Also like both main actors in general. Also... please, close your bed side lamps before sleeping... PLEASE.
-
14. Light on Me
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Noh Shin Woo must be my kindred spirit xd
Pretty basic/bland show with basic events, but good character growth.
Although I liked it, it was very much bland in vibe, but it was a positive for me.
A negative would be too much focus on Da On that made Shin Woo's character lack a bit of one on one scenes with Tae Kyung. It felt rushed and should have gotten more episodes to balance out the growing closer parts. -
15. A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
Tian [ ENFP ] x Phupha [ ESTJ sp/so ]
Good first half... then too much drama for drama's sake sadly, but pretty good still. Cool story themes and ideas.Pretty great cinematography and nice colour palette. Sound work is way better than usual for a thai drama, but some parts had music/SFX that kinda ruined scenes + some cheesy moments that didn't fit.
Characters are more grounded and three dimensional, including the usually side and background characters.
''Third Act'' conflict near the end that was way too forced in my opinion, but most of this show was just great and heart warming in its setting. (Although I did not finish it because of third act drama so far) -
16. He's Coming to Me
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
A while back I watched episode one and got bored, but glad I came back to it. Great acting and good script. Good cinematography too.
I liked the side couple (not another MM fanservice couple). Only pet peeve was, the music was a too loud sometimes and it took me out of it for a bit. Also, montage are a pet peeve of mine if not short and ''thought-like''.
-
17. Color Rush
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
AWESOME concept, but should have been slower paced. Heo Hyun Jun (Yoo Han)'s acting is pretty flat, but I think it fits the character and works. He might be a one note actor, but it's fine in this specific storyline. (They both kinda are, but I thought it fitted well)
Like that the face touching as an actual reason, as well as the complimenting unabashedly (cuz of the guy's condition). It makes sense and isn't for forced romantic moments. It's a nice touch. (Ah, get it?)
-
18. DNA Says Love You
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Pretty good. Flawed characters, realistic, well written, interesting plot points/themes. Just not a show I will binge.
-
19. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
Need to rewatch to rescore better
Action and fighting, hell yeah. Wanted more choreographed fighting, but not bad.
-
20. Our Dating Sim
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Basic, past love/crush thing. Well written I guess. Need to rewatch in a few months to rescore.
-
21. He She It
Thai Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
An awesome OST, damn...
Also it's very unique and stands out. Supernatural twist that works, horror moments and bittersweet. It's honestly my favourite type of ending for a bittersweet one, the music, the empty theater with Peem looking.Only problem is some of the acting is a bit off, mainly the side characters. That and montage that wasn't that great and weirdly added.
Flawed but interesting. -
22. Triage
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
It was alright if I recall correctly. Cool ideas
-
23. HIStory3: Make Our Days Count
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
What ruins this one for me is
A: The ending is unwarranted. I don't mind tragedies/bittersweet/sad and such, but the ending wasn't a satisfaying kind of tragic like in Devilman/Devilman Crybaby.
It was just ''Oh. Wait what?''B: The main tall guy actor's acting is VERY hit and miss (or is it the dialogue?). It's either very funny or very cringy and I had to skip a few scenes from terminal cringing. At least it is mentioned by the characters in the show as ''fuckin weird/gross'' of a way to act.
-
24. His - Koisuru Tsumori Nante Nakatta
Japanese Drama - 2019, 5 episodes
Don't quite recall tbh, but I'll assume my rating is fair and I liked it.
-
25. Where Your Eyes Linger
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
-
26. Mr. Heart
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
It's sweet, cheesy and not as bad as I thought it would be, but also kinda cringy at times.
-
27. Ingredients
Thai Special - 2020, 21 episodes
Domestic and slow-paced.
Gameplay (Tops) is an actor that can actually cooks and the other one plays the guitar for real, which is nice and should be more common in these shows.
Pet peeve would be a bunch of slow motion with a camera that clearly can't do that, so it's edited in post and look shitty. -
28. All the Liquors
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Basic but good. Will rewatch in a few months to rescore.
-
29. KinnPorsche
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
It's okay, but I thought it was gonna be way better sadly
-
30. Happy Merry Ending
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Good at times, but very off pacing. Needed to be longer or more organized. Felt rushed and like it was missing parts and like parts were frankensteined from two ideas.
Still, I liked the main leads and conflicts, just not in this show. -
31. Once in Memory: Love at First Sight
Thai Movie - 2021
Not sure that's the right series, but if it is kinda liked it
