Vietnam doesn’t produce many BLs, and the ones that do exist usually aren’t listed on MDL. I loved Reset too — it was so hard choosing between Knock Out and Reset!

For some reason, Revenged Love isn’t available on GagaOOLala in my country (Australia). I’ve only been watching it on their official YouTube channel since Viki releases the episodes a day late — and honestly, I don’t have the patience to wait! I’m super closeted so I can’t follow them on Instagram or Twitter, but please keep us posted — you’re doing an amazing job!

I agree. Most other Chinese dramas release 5 episodes a week (Monday to Friday), and they should’ve done the same for this one. But the thing is, it’s not even airing in China. I’m assuming people there are watching it with VPNs, and then the actors blew up in popularity. Honestly, it’s 2025—why is China still so homophobic? Why can’t they be more like Taiwan? 😩🌈

Thank you! Is Viu the original airing network? I thought it was Viki. 🤔 Also, do they have an official page where they post announcements? Like for episode 10, when they posted “do not share NC scenes,” for example.

Do you have a link confirming it’s actually postponed for a week? I don’t really trust what people say online anymore unless it comes directly from the director. Like with episode 10 — everyone was saying the kiss scene would get censored, but it didn’t

You can support them by watching on their official YouTube channel — Secret of Us episodes 1 and 2 are now available for free. If you don’t want to pay, just wait a few more days — they’ll gradually release the rest of the episodes.

What’s everyone’s favourite/top BL of 2025 from each country? 👀✨ Here’s my list:

🇨🇳 Revenged Love (China)
🇹🇭 Knock Out (Thailand)
🇰🇷 Secret Relationship (South Korea)
🇹🇼 See Your Love (Taiwan)
🇯🇵 Stay by My Side After the Rain (Japan)
🇻🇳 My Sweet Brother-in-Law (Vietnam)

Can’t wait to see your lists! ❤️ Which ones are your top picks so far?

Can’t believe there’s only one episode left—it feels like I just started episode 1 a couple of weeks ago! 😭

Knock Out is hands down my top Thai BL for 2025 🇹🇭
Revenged Love for China 🇨🇳
Secret Relationship for South Korea 🇰🇷
See Your Love for Taiwan 🇹🇼
Stay by My Side After the Rain for Japan 🇯🇵
My Sweet Brother-in-Law for Vietnam 🇻🇳

What’s everyone’s top BL of 2025 from each country?

Omg yes! 🙌 I totally agree with you. I have a big age gap (50 years) with my dad, and sure, we don’t always see eye to eye, but I will never call him a “coward”—especially in front of my partner or friends.
Maybe it’s the Asian upbringing in us, but respect for parents just hits different. ❤️ And let’s be real, Thun’s dad wasn’t being cowardly at all—he was literally trying to warn them about a trap. That’s not weak, that’s smart and protective. Give the man some credit! 👏

Likewise, I don’t have many Aussie friends here on MDL! 🇦🇺 I’m on all the platforms—Viki, iQIYI, and WeTV—but I’ll probably watch it on iQIYI. And if they have an official YouTube channel, you bet I’m subscribing to support them. ❤️ Also, I’m 100% staying up late to binge all 3 episodes—too cold in Melbourne to go out anyway, so might as well live my best drama life!

I’m from Australia, and it’s available for free on YouTube. So I really don’t get why you’re hating on GMMTV.

Episode 8 — what a gentle storm of love.
Those kisses in the car, soft and endless,
as if time paused just for them…
and yet, somehow, they still made it to work.

Phi caring for Tawan was everything.
Cooking for him, bringing him medicine,
tending to him so gently — and doing it all
right in front of his future mother-in-law,
without hesitation, without shame.
Just pure, quiet devotion.

That scene in the hospital bed,
two bodies curled up in such a small space,
became something vast —
a pocket of safety, warmth, and belonging.

And then the line that stopped the world for a moment:
“I’m glad I have you in my life.”
A truth so soft it echoed louder than any grand gesture.

How are we already at Episode 8?
With just two more left,
it feels like we’ve only just begun.
Some stories don’t just pass through time —
they carve a space in your heart and stay.

Thank you, MonPak, for the past 10 weeks. Watching your episodes during my lunch breaks after a stressful day at work truly brightened my Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Your mini episodes brought so much comfort and joy.

Now I’m counting down the days to your upcoming series Doctor’s Mine, airing next week!

I loved I Told Sunset About You too! You should definitely check out the sequel, I Promised You the Moon — it continues the story beautifully.

You should definitely check out their official YouTube channel — the behind-the-scenes clips are super cute and full of funny moments!

Congratulations 🥳 on finishing your exams! Now it’s the perfect time to binge-watch some dramas. Feel free to check out my watchlist for ideas — but here are a few I definitely recommend:
• Revenged Love 🇨🇳
• Secrets Relationship 🇰🇷
• Ball Boy Tactics 🇰🇷
• Stay by My Side After the Rain 🇯🇵

I noticed you don’t have any Thai dramas on your list, so I wasn’t sure what to recommend from there — especially since there are so many genres to choose from!

Do you want currently airing shows or completed ones?

If you scroll up, just below “Episode 1 of 16 airing on July 12, 2025, 10:00 PM,” that time is shown in your local timezone. For me, it’s 10 PM Saturday night Australian Eastern Standard Time. If you still can’t figure it out, let me know which city you’re in and I’ll help convert it for you.

The entire office scene was pure heat — the tension, the buildup, everything. If it weren’t for that unnecessary special effect, it would’ve been flawless. And ChiCheng… the way he kissed? Absolutely breathtaking. It started rough, with hands tied and bodies pressed close, but then melted into something so intimate, so beautiful — like he was devouring him and cherishing him all at once. That kiss wasn’t just pretty; it was electric.
