I’ll never understand how high school or uni BLs with cringe sound effects and irritating girl characters always seem to draw the biggest crowds, while true hidden gems like this slip quietly under the radar. Having watched over 400 BLs, I can confidently say this one belongs in my top 10%.

The cast is stunning, the plot captivating, the music enchanting, every detail falls perfectly into place. I’m already counting the days until next week’s episode.

Sasin’s eyes never leave his prince, his heart pounding with every stolen glance. It must be pure torment to watch the one you love walk toward another in marriage. The ache of silent longing lingers in every scene, and I cannot wait to see how the next 10 episodes unfold.

Historical BLs truly carry a beauty of their own. Century of Love, To Sir With Love, I Feel You Linger in the Air, Khemjira’s works, and now this series each remind us how spoiled we are this year with Thai BLs of such depth and artistry.

I actually see it a bit differently. For me, opposites attract. Prince Saenkaew is sad, serious, and on a mission, while Sasin brings in that carefree, playful energy. If both leads were serious, the story might feel too heavy, but Sasin balances it out and makes things more fun. Personally, I really love him as he is, and I think both characters are great so far. Like you said, it’s only episode 1, so I’m excited to see how things develop as we get more episodes.

Here are the last three for ABO Desire, hope you enjoy them! It might be too much work for me to scroll back through the earlier episodes since there are thousands of comments.

Episode 10 - https://mydramalist.com/749797-desire#comment-23279818

Episode 11 - https://mydramalist.com/749797-desire#comment-23363964

Episode 12 - https://mydramalist.com/749797-desire#comment-23439190

Lol I agreed they’re both horny boys, and I’d be too lol. But seriously, if I’m asleep and some ghost just starts kissing and rubbing on me? That would scare the shit out of me. At least start with a conversation or a gentle kiss! That scene was so dumb, it didn’t flow at all.

So many great Thai 1960s series have come out this year, including Shine and Khemjira, but I love Love in the Moonlight even more. The first two episodes were such a strong start and completely pulled me in. This is another excellent 1960s era BL, and the attention to detail in every scene is incredible. From the heritage houses and vintage cars/trains to the clothing, dark tone, intense music, and beautiful cinematography, everything feels authentic. I was hooked from start to finish and immediately wanted more.

Peak as Prince Saenkaew’s performance is breathtaking. When he cried after being forced by his father to marry in order to protect the family wealth, it truly moved me to tears. His acting is so powerful and layered.

Pear as Sasin is gorgeous and charismatic, and I cannot wait to see his chemistry unfold with the Prince. Perth, who plays Pin, is also stunning with her innocent and sweet presence. Her costumes are elegant and beautifully designed, adding to the richness of the series.

Based on the trailer, once Pin discovers the truth about her cousin and her fiancé’s love, the heartbreak and devastation will be intense, and I am so curious to see how it plays out.

This might be one of my favorite Thai BLs of the year. It is so underrated, and more people need to watch it. I am thrilled we are getting two episodes per week, and I cannot wait for the next one.

I’m a bit lost. In episode 2, Dong Min went to bed and suddenly the ghost started kissing him and rubbing against his body. I thought the ghost was supposed to be waiting for his lover to return, so why is he making out with Dong Min? It honestly looked more like the ghost was SA-ing Dong Min rather than showing any real affection. Did Dong Min even feel that? I just don’t see the point of that NC scene because there was no chemistry behind it.

Thank you for your kind words, you really made my day. I love watching BL and then writing my thoughts into poetry, that’s my weekly hobby.

I think karmic energy means a connection across lifetimes. In this series, the characters are bound by karmic energy, meaning they are destined to meet or be together because of past-life bonds or unfinished business.

I can’t wait for you to watch episode 3, it might be my favorite one yet. I’m looking forward to seeing your comments on other BL series too.

Thanks for the tip, literally just one click away, and yet the number of people asking is insane. And I’m not just talking about this series, it’s literally every single current series right now. Honestly, if we got a dollar every time someone asked how many episodes per week or what date it airs, we’d be millionaires by now

Thank you for your kind words, you truly made my day. I write almost every week about the current airing BL series, pouring my thoughts into each one. Tell me, which ones are you watching at the moment? I’d love to share a link to what I’ve written on them.

Yes, I second this. It’s definitely the best Taiwanese BL of 2025.

Same, I was expecting 12 episodes. I hate when MDL gets the episode count wrong. Hopefully, we’ll either get a season 2 or another series with them together again.

Do you have gagaOOlala?

When JunXi cried, the tears that fell down his cheeks were not born of sadness but of joy. They carried the weight of years spent in silence, lifting at last the heavy stone that had pressed against his shoulders and heart. For so long he had hidden his love, afraid of disappointing his parents in a culture where tradition, family reputation, and generational values hold such unshakable power. The title Secret Lover carries this truth. Yet in that moment, with his hand bound tightly to Tuo’s, he was no longer alone. Their love was no longer a secret they carried in shadows. It was a truth they held together in the light.

The most tender part of all was the parents’ response. They had always known, and when the truth was finally spoken aloud, they embraced it with warmth, kindness, and joy. Their smiles shone brighter than words, their love wrapped around the boys like a blessing. This is what every parent should give: the promise that love is love, no matter gender, no matter expectation. Happiness is the only answer.

Now that the story has ended, it stands as my favourite Taiwanese BL of the year. It moved swiftly without lingering unnecessarily, each scene alive with meaning and emotion. There was no tiresome jealousy, no third wheel to dim their bond. Every moment of intimacy felt real, every kiss deep and unrestrained, carrying both passion and tenderness. The NC scenes shimmered with heat and vulnerability, revealing a love that was physical, emotional, and soul-binding all at once.

Their chemistry transcends the screen. It does not feel like acting, but like the unfolding of something genuine. They are at ease with one another, every glance charged, every touch unguarded. Even behind the scenes, in playful moments and quiet gestures, they radiate a closeness that feels impossible to fake. Watching them, one cannot help but wonder if what began as a story has already transformed into something more, something lasting beyond the cameras.
Now it is over, and their absence lingers like a quiet ache. This series was not just entertainment but a memory carved deep into the heart, a love story that breathed, that lived, and that will be missed long after the final credits fade.

I know I wasted so much time refreshing on Iqiyi, lucky i have gagaOOlala as a back up and works perfectly.

Thanks! I wrote one for last week as well, hope you enjoy it.

Thank you, I always try to stay positive.
It might have been Revenged Love and not Bad Guy My Boss, because I never commented on that series.
I really loved Revenged Love so much that I started commenting every week on MDL and YouTube. My very first comment on YouTube even got 4.5k likes, which encouraged me to keep posting weekly. Now that the show is over, I feel so sad.

A Doctor Who Discharged Himself for Love
How could In’s heart not ache? He carried the unbearable weight of knowing that when Thap was shot, he hadn’t been able to save him in time. Now the person he loved most lay in a hospital bed because of it. Guilt consumed him with every step he took toward the ward, each breath heavy with shame.
Outside the room, he caught sight of Thap’s mother, sister, brother and to his surprise, Wan, Thap’s ex. The air grew heavier when Thap’s mother whispered a few casual but cruel words: “I think you and Wan should get back together.”

Just one sentence, and In’s heart shattered. He was already drowning in guilt for nearly costing Thap his life. Now, he saw himself as nothing but a shadow. Wan had saved Thap with his blood, Wan stood proudly beside Thap’s family, Wan appeared in photos online holding Thap’s hand while donating. To In, they looked like a perfect family, a life where he didn’t belong. Without a word, he turned and walked away, his silence louder than any cry.

But what In never saw was the truth that waited inside that room. Thap had long closed the door to his past. He had told Wan clearly that there was no going back. His heart belonged to In alone. Day after day, he waited, fragile but unwavering, for In to appear. Every time the door opened, hope lit his eyes only to crumble into disappointment when it was never him.

Finally, even Thap’s patience broke. No longer willing to lie in bed, he used his authority as a doctor to sign his own discharge papers and left, desperate to find the one person his heart refused to stop aching for.

And when he finally found In, drunk and broken, the confession that spilled out was clumsy yet beautiful, the purest truth of his love. It was messy, it was raw, but it was theirs. And in that moment, both hearts, wounded and waiting, finally found their way back together.

Agreed, I loved My Stubborn, never in my life have I seen a BL drop different NC positions for 8 consecutive episodes straight 🤣

Are you ready for the special episode of My Stubborn? I saw on Facebook that it might be coming soon, but I’m not sure how true it is. Fingers crossed, we really need a special episode with them as a couple.
