Boys Love!
Shows with boys love.
I included censored romance and bromance because why not.
-
1. Yasha
Japanese Drama - 2000, 11 episodes
- Based on a shoujo manga.
- Not really BL but there is a scene in which two male characters let us know that they had sexual intercourse before.
- In addition, Moichi and Sei relationship makes your heart ache.
-
2. Boys Love: The Movie
Japanese Movie - 2007
- I really liked it.
- The feels here hit hard.
-
3. Guardian
Chinese Drama - 2018, 40 episodes
- Based on danmei (chinese boys love) novel.
- Censored romance, still worthy the watch.
- Story and acting 10/10.
-
4. HIStory: Obsessed
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
- Truly enjoyable!
-
5. HIStory3: Make Our Days Count
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
- In my humble opinion, the best title in HIStory saga.
- Many people hated the ending but I really loved it.
- Hot scenes! Don't watch them with your parents.
- There were two couples but i liked the main couple better, they were cute.
-
6. Ossan's Love
Japanese Drama - 2018, 7 episodes
- Although I liked the drama special, i liked the series the most.
- One thing I don't like is the change of the young romantic interest in each title (character and actor).
-
7. The Novelist
Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
- Based on a BL manga.
- I highly recommend to read the original source.
- Drama has changes in the story but nothing really atrocious.
-
8. School 2013
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
- My first drama ever, it has a special place in my heart.
- While there are people saying that this title doesn't have romance, Go Nam Soon and Park Heung Soo have a very strong friendship.
- Don't get fooled by the first three chapters, there is really no
heterosexualromance.
-
9. Secrets in the Hot Spring
Taiwanese Movie - 2018
- Bromance
- Funny as hell, would rewatch!
-
10. A Frozen Flower
Korean Movie - 2008
- Love between guys is not the main theme but it's part of its plot.
- Worth the watch.
- Don't watch it with speakers on.
-
11. Dear Ex
Taiwanese Movie - 2018
- Not a love story but a story about love.
-

-
16. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
- Loosely based on danmei (chinese BL) novel "Mo Dao Zu Shi".
- Although I really liked CQL as a different story, I highly recommend to read its original source because CQL has lots of changes, including romance that didn't exist, change of events, some characters appeared before their should, censored scenes and, of course, censored romance.
- There's a donghua (chinese animation) based on MDZS, although it's censored, imho, it's a bit more faithful to the novel.

-
25. Method
Korean Movie - 2017
- I could say it is a bit complex but not hard to understand, I could say it's a bit different from what we are accustumed to watch.

-

- I watched it last year and i don't remember anything and i say that movie that didn't leave an impression on people is like they aren't worth, in my humble opinion....but i guess that i did enjoyed it a bit when i watched it.
- Anyways, it isn't really connected with Ai no Kotodama, just a very subtle cameo.
-

Taiwanese Movie - 2006
- The girl in this movie is annoying.
- The end was....depressing.
-

-
33. No Touching At All

- Not really outstanding but entertaining if you have nothing else to do.
-
34. Reply 1997
Korean Drama - 2012, 16 episodes
- This title is not BL perse, there's a gay character tho.
- Main character is very annoying sometimes but their fangirling is relatable.

-
35. Silhouette of Your Voice
Japanese Movie - 2017
- Based on a BL manga.
- It's enjoyable.
- I highly recommend to read the original source.
-
36. Beloved Enemy
Chinese Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
- Loosely based in a danmei (chinese boys love) novel.
- Censored romance.
- Danmei novel is far way better than the drama. I must say that drama has a business view and novel has a romance-business view. I didn't liked the changes they did for the drama like: Zhao Yuan drama with Gu Qing Pei, Yuan Yang' stepmother and Wangjin's sister existence, lol. Idk, they trying to create a heterosexual drama for a danmei novel was kinda...weird. However, they respected the most important thing: the video and it's drama.
-
37. Same Difference
Japanese Movie - 2014
- Based on a BL manga.
- Only funny if you watch it as just BL.
- Cringe if you are looking for a proper movie.
-
38. S.C.I
Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
- Based on a danmei (chinese boy's love) novel.
- I wanted to like this drama but there are lots of things that i didn't like.
- First: I don't really like hypnosis as a theme in police drama.
- Second: Bai Yu Tong sister was a male in the original novel and we were robbed.
- Third: Bai Yu Tong was not my cup of tea, nothing against Gao Han Yu, his acting was amazing to the point that i cannot stand that character.
- The only thing that i liked was the side couple regarding the magician and the policeman.
