But for those who adore BL as much as I do, look no further because here is a list containing everything BL for you glorious people.
-
1. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
Anyone who loves BL has to know the Untamed because this drama caused huge splash waves all across the world for being one of the best in the genre. It's not exactly BL because of China's censorship but the director found a way to go between the lines and gave us the BL drama of the century. There are no kisses or anything but the chemistry between the leads is sizzling. It does however contain some very sad parts so prepare your tissues. For all of those in the BL community, this drama is a BIG MUST WATCH! Nothing will ever compare to how amazing this drama is. If you're into BL then this drama is A MUST WATCH NO MATTER WHAT.

2. Where Your Eyes Linger
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Didn't expect Korea to release a BL series but they did and it certainly did not disappoint. It's a story involving an heir and his bodyguard. Very sweet, light, and angsty, like a story come to life. It only has 8 episodes but if you're into BL do watch this because it will make you smile and your heart will flutter 1000 times. (Spoiler: Kiss scene)
-
3. To My Star
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
Really good, a very simple soft, and short romance story. The chemistry between leads is no joke though because wow and the few kiss scenes we got were adorable and so cute. The characters are so different from each other that they complement each other perfectly and the adorable moments in the last episode were to die for.

4. 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Was not going to watch it but to all my fellow BL lovers do WATCH this. Simple, sweet, cute, and loving characters. It's short but it was honestly the best Japanese BL I have ever seen like wow kudos to the actors and director. There was sadly no kiss scene but it was amazing. Do watch if you want a short and cute BL drama.

5. Color Rush
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
A very different type of plot surrounding colors and it was very magical and a really good watch. A bit sad most of the time but the ending was perfect and it was so sweet simple and cute. The only problem in my opinion would be that they didn't explain the whole missing mother plotline but otherwise do watch it. If you want a simple short yet mesmerizing and suspenseful BL drama then do try this.

6. Mr. Heart
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
This follows the series of 'Where your eyes Linger' and it was very cute. The main Lead is a marathon runner while his other half plays his pacemaker. The second ML is the cutest most adorable thing ever and I loved his wide smile. Do watch if you want a short, sweet, light, lovable and simple BL drama. (Spoiler: There will be a kiss scene)
-
7. Guardian
Chinese Drama - 2018, 40 episodes
Not exactly BL again because of China's censorship but it does have some chemistry between leads. Not the best one but it does rate pretty high for a Chinese BL. Warning though, it doesn't have the best ending so watch if you dare otherwise don't.
-
8. HIStory2: Crossing the Line
Taiwanese Special - 2018, 8 episodes
A pretty good one with a subtle feeling and subtle romance. Don't remember if they have a kiss scene or not but it is rated high on my list so if you want a simple good feels BL drama then this is an option.
-
9. Views of Love: Grey Rainbow
Thai Drama - 2016, 4 episodes
Most will disagree with me but this is the best Thai BL drama in my opinion. It had r*pe involved I think but it was a very sweet and good drama. The ending was very unexpected and terrible though so if you don't like sad or bad endings then do not watch. Otherwise it's one of my fav BL's.
-
10. S.C.I
Chinese Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
Not exactly BL in the slightest but it was a good watch. There's not much chemistry or anything but I guess you could say they had some bromance. It's not the best at all in the genre but I watched it hoping there would be something however there wasn't. So, if you want full-on BL or full-on chemistry then do not watch. This is more like a side dish to BL.

11. TharnType
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Now, this is true BL that starts with a homophobic and a gay living together. Exactly my type. It's the perfect BL that contains actual BL scenes so do watch it since it has everything. Thai dramas have no censorship on anything so they're mostly the best. A MUST WATCH FOR ALL BL FANS.

12. Wish You: Your Melody From My Heart
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Ok, I did not expect to get such an amazing BL drama from Korea but they did it. This is the best Korean BL I have seen till now. It might be short but it's packed with sweet moments and even the kisses were so adorable. A must watch, you can't ever skip this one.
-
13. Nobleman Ryu's Wedding
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
A BL set in the historical time of Korea and it was short but so so so cute. It's not the best and it didn't have many cute scenes or stolen kisses between the leads but the ending was satisfactory and overall it was a decent Bl. As much as you can expect from as Korean BL.
-
14. Long Time No See
Korean Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
Now, this was an amazing one. Sort of confusing at the beginning but I loved how the leads just looked at each other once and were like fuck yeah. The story involves some sort of gang war which was a nice addition and I loved how they were both hiding something. The ending was looking as if it might be sad but it was a good ending and it was a really good one. Not the best or as good as others but it was phenomenal for it's time and I liked it.

15. Light on Me
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
The cutest, softest, lightest, well-paced BL drama I have ever watched. It also has a full 16 episodes so it was definitely an amazing ride. The cast was picked to perfection and the cuteness and dullness the characters bring are just wow and personally I related to some of the characters so much that I absolutely adored it. My ending ship went well and everyone was happy. Hoping that that ending means we're getting a season 2.

16. Kieta Hatsukoi
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
All I'm going to say is that no one does like the lead of this series does. His expressions top it all off in a way that's quirky but not annoying. I love his actions and his gestures and how he forms a crush on the other guy. both leads have very subtle chemistry that sometimes seems it doesn't exist but that's the charm of this series. Not to forget the amazing supportive friends and Hashimoto'san who is so gorgeous and cute. Best BL definitely, have to watch it if you like something short, cute, and simple with no misunderstandings except the main plot. XD

17. Utsukushii Kare
Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
I'm going to start with saying that I thought the ML was an absolute ass and he was so rude and mean at first, I really disliked how he pushed aside the Lead's feelings. But during the last two episodes when they showed his POV, I was baffled at how much sense it made from his side and why he did what he did. Many say it's toxic which I thought so too at first but then considering both lead's POV I think it was perfect. But what I didn't expect was for Kiyoi to be such a cutie, like he switched up real quick, and the way he was so insecure and meek towards the end, I forgot how I disliked him and now I LOVE him.

18. HIStory4: Close to You
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
The two main leads pulled it off flawlessly. I loved how the one ML was already smitten and the other one slowly came to realize how much he truly relied on the other one and that's how their bickering relationship turned into something. The second leads, however...their story was iffy. Stepbrothers and one forces himself onto the other, not sure I liked that guy, he was plain on obsessive but I suppose they just forgave him and moved on even though what he did was horrible. Another thing to love about this one was Ten Mu Ren's fashion sense which was just WOW, everything suited his tall lanky frame and the soundtrack is AMAZING! Andrew Tan did an amazing job for the soundtrack and I'm simply obsessed. Definitely worth it!

19. Lovely Writer
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
First things first, the ML is so cute and adorable. His facial expressions just made it so much cuter and it was one of th best Thai ones I've seen so far. It was short, cute, and full of moments that just made your heart burst. There was a bit of confusion, a tiny bit of drama, and a sort of love triangle but even that had its own twist. Definitely WATCH if you want a cute BL.

20. A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
I'm SO FREAKING glad I decided to watch it. The plot was different and the ML was a bit spoiled but the way he just planned to upend his life and move was just WOW. I loved the glances between the two leads and the way he managed to slip into the soldier's heart it had its heartbreaking moments, secrets, and revelations but it was worth it. I remember anxiously counting the days and waiting for the next episode and after it finished I was depressed. IF YOU LOVE BL's I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW TO GO AND WATCH IT.
