My Fav BLs (with some GL’s)

A live action of one of my favourite Yaoi animes that completely missed the mark for me. This movie is about Izumi, an otaku born into a family of actors, but his stage fright prevents him from also taking this path despite his parents wishes. He is forced to take part in a commercial where he dresses as a girl where he meets Ryouma, a famous actor who has had a crush on Izumi for years, beliving him to have been a girl all along. The two of them grow closer and Ryouma realises, even with the knowledge that Izumi is a boy, his feelings for him haven’t changed. Honestly, this film had pretty bad acting and pacing, they just didn’t deliver the plot very successfully and I was incredibly disappointed.

I honestly don’t know what to say about this, it was toxic and an abusive romance, but somehow I enjoyed it anyway. This series is about Day and Itt, a couple who have been together for years. Before they began dating, Day was extremely abusive towards Itt, regularly beating and SA’ing him. Over time their feelings changed and they began dating seriously, with Day becoming a calmer, happier person and promising to never lay a hand on Itt again. However, Day is involved in a car accident and suffers from amnesia, losing 3 years worth of memories. He cannot remember Itt and has therefore gone back to the violent man he was before falling in love with Itt. Itt, blaming himself for Day’s accident, decides he will help take care of Day and recover his memories, knowing he will be subjected to the same abuse he suffered before. With the help of Day’s brother, Night (the sweetest soul in the series, I loved him so much!), and his boyfriend and Itt’s childhood friend, Gear, they resolved to do whatever it takes to help Day’s memories return. This was honestly incredibly disturbing, the relationship between every couple (other than the side couple, Nik and Neil, although Night and Gear were cute too) was incredibly abusive and toxic, I genuinely couldn’t believe how bad it got at times, especially with the other side couple, Mac and Nan. Despite how toxic this was, there was something strangely addictive about this series, like no matter how bad it was, there was something about it that made me keep going. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this at all, but truthfully I can see myself rewatching this many times.

Honestly I didn’t enjoy this as much as everyone else seemed to. This movie is about Otomo Kyoichi who, despite being married, continually has affairs with other woman. One day he meets Imagase Wataru who he went to university with, and finds out that Wataru works for a “jack-of-all-trades” company that does anything their clients require. Wataru tells Kyoichi that his wife has hired him to investigate if Kyoichi is cheating on her. Wataru tells Kyoichi that he won’t tell his wife anything as long as Kyoichi is willing to kiss and sleep with him in return. I honestly didn’t enjoy this movie or their relationship, it was so manipulative and bad that I was disappointed. But just because it wasn’t for me doesn’t mean it’s bad. It does have some quite good ratings so I suggest giving it a go and seeing what you think of it.

This is only a mini series, with 2, 5 minute episodes. This is about a girl that’s friends with 2 guys, who are always being shipped together by the rest of the school. However, she’s in love with one of them. As time goes on, she realises they really do have feelings for each other, leading her to get jealous and avoid them. But they won’t let their friendship fall apart because of it, and reconnect back with her, while she grows to accept that her friends have feelings for each other. It’s not great but it’s short and easy to watch so I didn’t regret it.

This is another mini series, with 2, 4 minute episodes. It’s just based in the boys dormitory with 2 boys that start having feelings for each other. It’s cute, but way to short.

I wasn’t completely able to watch this one, as it’s a nightmare to find, so I was only able to watch the moments with the gay couple Alex and Benny only. From what I watched they were so sweet and adorable! I wish we could have seen the story of how they met and got together, but I didn’t mind so much. 

I didn’t think this one was too bad actually, but it wasn’t incredible either. It’s about a boy called Nam who is an excellent swimmer, and his father is the coach of the team. He likes to party and is known to sleep around and have a lot of girlfriends. One day a boy called Muek joins the team and becomes Nam’s roommate. It’s very slow, and at times it got a little boring, but certain scenes were amazing. It showed the slowly forming relationship between Muek and Nam, and the kiss scene was so cute! I just wish it wasn’t so clustered together.

This series had many short comings but I did enjoy a little. Gun Tossakan is a medical student that one day finds an engineering gear on the floor. Later on Facebook he sees an account asking if anyone has found one, which turns out to be Bar Sarawut, the boy Gun has had a crush on for years. He approaches Bar and tells him he found his gear and he will return it only if Bar let’s Gun flirt with him. Bar is hesitant but says yes and gets his gear back. However, how long will it take before he gives Gun his gear to keep, along with a confession of love? Win, who played Gun wasn’t very good, and I will admit that. He wasn’t as handsome as Gun was described as being, and his acting wasn’t the best, however Folk who played Bar was such a good actor, and so good looking I was actually intimidated. If you watch it you probably won’t love it, but the last 2 episodes were pretty good and the series itself is pretty short, so I would suggest if you’re interested give it a go and see what you think.

Sadly this was very low budgeted with quite a bad acting choice, however the main couple were really handsome and acted well so that made up for it. This drama tells the story of Ding Junjie, the deputy general manager of a cosmetics company, and Ying Jiaming, the son of the chairman of the board. Although the 2 fight like cat and dog, after a small misunderstanding they gradually grow closer and see each other as more than the annoying boss and calm employee. Despite the low budget and some bad actors and a weird plot line towards the end, it actually wasn’t too bad. I think the main couple did have a lot of chemistry and I thought they were both (but Junjie in particular) were really handsome. If it was budgeted a little better and had some better actors I think they could have pulled it off better, but sadly the story fell short because the script was all over the place. I’m glad I watched it despite the bad reviews, but I won’t be rating it any higher than a 7/10.

I sadly didn’t enjoy this as much as the first season. This is about Bay and Mok shortly after they separated in the first season. They meet at a hotel for Bay’s birthday but jealousy strikes after Bay’s coworker Boss brings his best friend with him, who develops a crush on Bay. This series doesn’t really go anywhere and I didn’t see the point in it. The only good thing about it was the good budget and the eye candy that is the main actors. Other than that I don’t really recommend it that well.

This one has had a mix of ratings, some good and some bad. I personally thought it was in the middle. This is about a boy called Waii who is the captain and very popular member of the swimming club, and his father is the coach of the team. One day a boy called Apo joins the team and becomes roommates with Waii. We can slowly see the attraction forming between them, but the problem is, Waii has a girlfriend. We also have Pan, who is the only female on the team, and she develops a crush on a girl called Namkhaeng who turns out to be their newest teammate, Fah, best friend and crush. There is also a boy from the track team called Min, who has a crush on a girl from the cat club, and on the student council, called Wan. Also we have my favourite side couple in the series, a boy called Kluay, who is a member of the swimming club, and Achi, who is a fanboy of Waii. This series had its ups and downs. There were limited moments between all the couples, and the ending wasn’t really incredible. I’m devastated that we finally had lesbian representation in a drama, only for her to change her mind and end up with a man. I hope one day Achi and Kluay get their own series, as they were the best couple in the series by far! 

Ummmm… This was a huge disappointment to me and I’m not sure how I feel. This is the sequel to Bed Friend the series focusing on the character of Jade and his intern Mai. Jade is used to being the middleman, watching everyone around him falling in love and helping them with their romantic endeavours whilst never finding a lover of his own. When Mai comes along, Jade mistakes his flirting for kindness and believes Mai has a crush on another intern, Gus, and decides to help them get together, meanwhile Mai is confused and wonders how to show Jade that the one he has a crush on isn’t Gus but Jade. Meanwhile, Gus is immediately drawn to the other new intern, Tong. However, Tong is very quiet and and come across as rude, no matter how hard Gus tries to get Tong to come out of his shell, Tong just begins to avoid him. Sometimes people don’t realise what they have until they have lost it. When Jade rejects Mai after his confession, he does not realise how much he cared for Mai until Mai begins to avoid him. When Gus has had enough of trying to woo Tong and leaves him alone, Tong realises how much he misses Gus’s company. Can both couples accept their feelings and reignite the spark between them, or will they decide that their love won’t work out and go their separate ways? This was bad, I don’t have any other way to say it so I’ll be blunt. This was so cringey and the acting was so bad that I was left extremely disappointed. Many of us were waiting and anticipating this series but unfortunately it was a complete let down. I definitely would not recommend this series.

I wasn’t sure if I should include this one or not, but I’m doing it anyway. This is about a boy called Momose, who is walking down the street one day when he sees his male classmate, Yashiro, dressed as a girl with a dress and wig. Momose continues to observe him for a while, before approaching him and confessing his attraction towards Yashiro. Meanwhile Yashiro is embarrassed that Momose has discovered his secret, and tried to avoid him, but Momose won’t let him go, and brings him different outfits to wear, and threatens to tell people about Yashiro’s secret unless he lets Momose kiss him. Although the relationship was very weird and messed up in the beginning, it ends on a really cute note, that was so adorable! I don’t know if I would consider this a BL, and I would say it’s more of a transgender love story, but that didn’t take away the cute moments from it. I think this is a movie you will need to try for yourself to see if you like it, but if you stick through it to the end you may quite enjoy it like I did.

Uhhhh… yeah, no comment. I’m going to be honest, I only watched this series because I heard the NC scenes were on another level which was definitely true. Aside from that there’s nothing particularly great about this series except for Tod, the actor who plays Sky. This series is about Venus and Sky, two friends who fell apart after Venus confessed to Sky and was rejected. Venus decides to move away and forget Sky, meanwhile his absence makes Sky realise he always had feelings for Venus, he was just too afraid to act on them before. When Venus finally returns home, Sky resolves to make Venus not only forgive him, but fall in love with him again. Venus tries to avoid Sky, not wanting to get his heart broken again, but will Sky eventually be able to bring down his walls? On the other side, we have Janus, Venus’s older brother who has secretly been in a relationship with Venus’s rich ex-classmate and friend, Bomb. Janus and Bomb have recently started living together with Janus running his own convenience store. However, this job isn’t doing so well at the moment and Janus is afraid to tell Bomb because he doesn’t want Bomb to feel like he is taking advantage of his wealth. But Bomb is growing frustrated with all the secrets and feels like Janus doesn’t trust him enough to let him help. Can all the couples come together and communicate better? Not really, the acting and plot were far too stiff and I honestly didn’t enjoy this series very much. I don’t really recommend it unless you also want to watch the insane NC scenes which were very realistic (and a little cringey at times).

This wasn’t perfect but I liked some of the aspects so it was relatively enjoyable. This is about Pete, a handsome businessman who begins searching for his new brother Phat. Pete’s grandmother is in hospital with a tumour and refuses to get treatment after her son and his new wife left after a family brawl and hasn’t visited for 15 years. The only way he can identify Phat is a necklace that the grandmother gave the family after they left. Eventually the search leads him to Tony, a young beggar living a poor lifestyle while carrying the necklace. Pete discovers that his grandmothers son and wife, along with their child had all died 10 years ago. Tony and Pete were good friends and Phat gave Tony his necklace before he died. Pete asks Tony if he will come back with him and convince his grandmother that Tony is her Nephew, so she will accept the treatment. However when Petes power hungry uncle steps in after discovering their secret, how long can they avoid the truth before all is revealed? It was quite enjoyable and worth a watch, but I wouldn’t hype this up very much as it was a little to typical and cheesy for my liking.

I’m very sad to say that I didn’t like this season very much. This is almost like a retelling of LoveBy Chance with some couples, then other couples continue after the events of the first. In this season Ae  is heartbroken and he and Pete broke up, Tin and Can met for the first time and fellin love differently from season1. Techno and Kla followed on from the first season, and TumTar couple vanished into the horizon. I’m very sad at how this turned out and it could have been so much better. We can’t have everything I guess.

I loved the scenery and setting in this drama, however the acting and plot was a little lacking for me. This is about Han Man Yi, a 16 year old commoner whose attacked by soldiers one day but saved by General Chen Zi Hua. He gives Man Yi the name Han Zi Gao and gives him 2 options, take some money and leave, or stay by his side and serve him. Having witnessed the deathof his friend he is too fearful and decides to stay and serve the General. He soon becomes his favourite “Concubine” and begins to teach him how to use the sword and bow, and play the Guqin. Over time feelings begin to grow between them, but how long can it last with jealousy looming over their heads? Although the acting wasn’t the best, the actors were really handsome and I loved the scenery and costumes so much. It wasn’t the best film I’ve ever seen but it wasn’t actually too bad and I’m glad I watched it.

This series had its ups and downs, but  I don't think it was awful overall. This is about a boy named Pop that starts working for an Airport catering company after failing to become his dream of a flight attendant. There he meets a boy called Oak, who begins flirting with him and calling him names such as “Wife”. Meanwhile Pop’s girlfriend Mo who has just started working as a flight attendant is bullied badly by her co workers. We also meet her brother Pree and his boyfriend Rambo who were very happy together, until Rambo’s father forces him into an arranged marriage. I think that this series started off okay, but some moments really irritated me, and there were some scenes I thought didn’t make a lot of sense or weren’t really needed. This series is a lot more intense and intimate than any other BL I had seen at this time, with a few serious sex scenes that felt very realistic. There is so much tears and crying, it gets to the point where it just starts to become rather annoying. But overall it’s much better than it’s second season!

I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of this movie, and although it had potential, I was rather let down by it. This is about an orphan called Shu Nian who one day meets a boy called Xie Yan who adopts him into the family despite both being young boys around the same age, and the 2 grew up doing everything together. 20 years later he returns after studying abroad for 6 years with a girlfriend who he later breaks up with, Jiang Yao. During a meeting Shu Nian meets Ke Luo, another orphan, and they become close. Meanwhile Jiang Yao plot her revenge against Shu Nian after finding out his secret, that he’s gay. Xie Yan is homophobic and after discovering this he kicks Shu Nian out. However he later realises he’s made a mistake by throwing out the only person who can keep him calm and rational, and begins to see him in a different light. I never understood the hype with this drama, but there has been some quite high ratings, so I guess it’s a film you either love or hate. 

This was the sequel to the film Loves Coming. This one was much better than the first, mainly due to the much needed change in cast. This is about 2 boys called Gump and Nai, who have been in a relationship for a year, but when Gump has to move in with another boy for university called Sunz, and Nai’s old friend Bon returns tensions fly. After Nai does a bad thing, what will it take for Gump to forgive him? I only watched this movie because Gun was in it, who is such an amazing actor. The actors were good, but the movie was nothing special. The ending scene was the worst thing I had ever watched, and I don’t know how people managed to find it cute. I don’t think I will ever rewatch this one, but maybe give it a go.

This is the second film for Irresistible Love. Xie Yan and Shu Nian are unable to deal with their feelings for each other. Xie Yan realizes that he loves Shu Nian, but Shu Nian continues to hide from him. Meanwhile, Ke Luo creates a ruckus in the company's dinner organized by Xie's Holdings, but is saved by Shu Nian for the second time. Xie Yan is then sent overseas for a project, and Shu Nian and Ke Luo gets closer after celebrating Ke Luo's birthday. Eventually, Ke Luo confessed his feelings to Shu Nian, but the latter's heart is still with Xie Yan. Xie Yan later breaks up with Jiang Yao, which has an impact on his future fiance, Xia Jun. Xia Jun uses her crafty ideas to get to Xie Yan, but later Xie Yan tells Xia Jun that he has already gotten a new love and that the person is Shu Nian. Soon, Jiang Yao who is unable to deal with the breaking up with Xie Yan, engages some men to rape Shu Nian, but Xie Yan saves him. Later Xia Jun contracts food poisoning and is sent to hospital. Shu Nian is then fired by Xie Yan's father, after confessing to Xie Yan that he was the one who poisoned her. In the end, the medical report is produced, showing that Xia Jun's food poisoning is due to the three cups of mocha that she had drunk hours before she was about to meet Shu Nian. Honestly you may enjoy and love these films, but they just weren’t for me. There are 2 alternate endings, a happy and sad one, but neither are that great which was why I didn’t like it, but give it a go and maybe you’ll like it more than I did.

Wow that was a huge disappointment. This series is about Chonlatee, a shy but kind hearted boy who secretly has had a crush on Tonhon, the guy next door, since he was a kid. Ton has always taken care of him as if they were real brothers. But Chonlatee can only watch Ton and his girlfriend from afar. That is until Ton updates his status to single and returns home. After reconnecting their closeness starts to change into a deeper bond.  Ton starts to get confused about his feelings. His mouth keeps saying that he only sees Chonlatee as a brother, but when Chonlatee begins (fake) dating someone else, he feels insecure and jealous. He can‘t help being possessive and worried about Chonlatee. And in the midst of that, his ex-girlfriend, Amp,  returns to complicate things after, despite her cheating, decides to make Ton hers again. Then Tonhon’s father is introduced as a homophobic, sexist, and misogynistic man that keeps hounding Tonhon and his sister to have children so he can have an heir. Can Chonlatee’s love ever be reciprocated when it seems as though everything is keeping them apart? I’m just going to put this out there. This is GMMTV’s worst BL they’ve released, and I’m so pissed because even Mike and Toptap couldn’t save this for me. They literally decided to pull the greatest cast together for the worst series they could possibly produce. And yes, I know it could have been worse, but this had so much potential that they quickly ruined. I’m very disappointed and will never recommend or rewatch this series.

This had the potential to be great, but there was something about it which completely set it back for me. This is about a boy called Mork who sells porn dvds in his fathers barber shop. One day a boy called Tee comes in for a hair cut, but Mork’s father has to leave halfway through his hair cut, so Mork tries to finish it and completely ruins his hair. This makes Tee mad and they begin to get revenge on each other, until one day Mork gives Tee gay porn dvds in front of his girlfriend and claims he bought them, which results in his girlfriend Bambi and most of the school believing that Tee is gay, and Bambi leaves Tee. Mork is told to take responsibility of his actions and be his pretend boyfriend to make Bambi jealous. But during their fake relationship, they begin to develop real feelings for each other. This was pretty cute, but there were loads of plot holes for me, and it had so many twists and random scenes which didn’t even need to be there, and just made it even more confusing. It was good until episode 4, then it went downhill. You could give it a go if you want, but don’t expect much off it, I would just stick to reading the novel, as the novel was just incredible!

This continues after the events of the first film. Xiao Chen and Lu Feng can only be happy for so long until Xiao Chen’s mother finds out and collapses from shock. Xiao Chen’s brother Cheng Yi Chen is mad and starts a fight with Lu Feng, which backfires after Lu Feng pushes him into the corner of a table and paralysed him. Xiao Chen is heartbroken and breaks up with Lu Feng, and moves with his brother, and brothers lover Qin Lang, to seek treatment for Cheng Yi Chen. Lu Feng does not believe he is in the wrong, so much later he drugs and kidnaps Xiao Chen and locks him in a house far away from his family. There he assaults and rapes him multiple times out of “love”. In the end Cheng Yi Chen and Qin Lang manage your locate them and call the police, and Cheng Yi Chen grabs the officers gun and attempts to shoot Lu Feng. However Xiao Chen sees this and moves in the way before in can kill him, leaving him in critical condition. Unfortunately no happy ending here and a complete disappointment for me.

I will admit I was very disappointed with this series. The only reason I watched it is for Newyear because I was excited to see an openly gay actor playing a gay character, as that’s something we don’t get to see often. This is about 6 boys playing the king game that has 1 rule, the holder of the king card can command anyone to do anything they choose. However, in only 1 night all 6 friends face life changing decisions that will change their friendship forever. I honestly didn’t enjoy this and at first dropped it, but I powered through thanks to Newyear and honestly if you want to watch it, it’s not all that great, but please make sure to support Newyear regardless because he and his boyfriend Both are amazing (though Both sadly isn’t an actor.)

This was a short mini series that was honestly kind of boring. This is about 2 characters that are friends and stuck in a circle. They have feelings for each other but refuse to acknowledge it. The cinematography is beautiful and so were the landscapes, but it was really boring and didn’t really lead anywhere so there’s little I can really say about it.

Okay. This movie was incredibly disturbing, and the plot was kinda messy. It’s about a boy called Wine who is dumped by his boyfriend Tee, who cannot admit his sexuality. One day Wine meets a boy he names Night/Nam, who has amnesia. A bond is created between them until Wine realises Night is a vampire. Wine let’s Night drink his blood, and begins taking care of him. In the mean time Tee and Boy, a business man who had loved Wine for a long time, were both trying to get with Wine. However Wines heart is with Night, so he kidnaps Tee and Boy, and uses them to give Night the blood he needs. The plot may have been weird, and it had a sad ending, which normally I’m not a big fan of. However the acting was really good, the series was well budgeted, and the actors played their parts perfectly. The music was also really good, and their were some cute, light hearted moments, and a few light sex scenes. I don’t think I could ever rewatch it, but if you are someone that likes BL, the supernatural, violence and kidnapping, then you could always give it a go.

This was honestly a very disappointing drama. This started so well but fell completely flat for me. This is about a pet shop owner called Hang Hang, and a writer called Liang Ze who owns 2 chinchilla’s. One day Liang Ze takes his Chinchillas to the vets for a checkup when he meets Hang Hang, the 2 hit off immediately, feeling a strong attraction for the other. Eventually they confront their feelings and become a couple. However Hang Hang begins feeling uncomfortable around him, and breaks off their relationship suddenly. I was so disappointed, especially considering the amazing beginning, but I wouldn’t recommend this that highly because half way through it just went quickly downhill.

Some people recommended this movie to me and said that this was supposed to be really good but I ended up skipping more than half of it because I got too bored to keep going. This movie is about a boy called Gump who is in love with his neighbor Nai, and all his friends are trying to get him to admit that he is gay. It’s so cringeworthy and I honestly didn’t enjoy it, I preferred the sequel Love Love You much more though even that wasn’t particularly good. Some people have said that they enjoyed it, so you could try it out, but I couldn’t get over the cringyness of it, so I won’t recommend this one at all.

This was the weirdest movie I’ve ever seen. This is about the Cherry Gang, a gay mafia of prostitiutes. One of the members is Mac, otherwise known as “playboy” with an addiction to SM sex. When a shipment of drugs disappears, the gang will stop at nothing to retrieve it, no matter who they have to kill to get there. I really didn’t enjoy this that much so I wouldn’t recommend it as highly as others. There’s definitely better movies out there focused on BDSM dynamics, honestly the only reason I watched this is because I found out Gun Atthaphan was in this but evenhe couldn’t make up for the shit show that was this movie.

This is definitely my least favourite BL from the HIStory series, and I don’t even know if I would consider this a proper BL! This series is about a girl called Lan Xi who dies but her soul is put into the body of another man and she has 7 days to make her old boyfriend Ying Xiong fall back in love with her (now him). It was so weird and the first part was just confusing, it’s a body swap but unless you act read the plot description it’s quite complicated at the start. It got a little better towards the end, but I can’t even say this series was good. I was utterly disappointed and won’t ever be rewatching this, and I really don’t recommend it at all. 

So, I thought the first season of this show was okay, but this season was absolutely awful. This has been and will be the only BL series where the only couple I was rooting for were the straight couple. This is a continuation for where the second season ends and unfortunately everything goes very downhill from there. All the relationships were ruined, there was a very unnecessary plot twist, sexual abuse, possibly rape, violence, kidnapping someone and locking them in their basement, incest, and even more. The only good thing that came out of this show was Mo getting the happiness she deserves! Other than that I would not recommend this season at all, but if you decide to watch it, then don’t have any expectations, and don’t watch it thinking it will be enjoyable. The scenes that were actually good, and one of the relationships I thought was actually kinda sweet all got ruined in the most unnecessary ways. I am so disappointed in this season!
