BLs I highly recommend
This is a list of BL (boy’s Love, MLM) shows that I enjoyed watching. I started watching BL in 2019 I believe, and these are my favs in no particular order.
-
1. Our Dating Sim
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This is definitely one of the best shows. It’s so fluffy and cute. I was giggling and kicking my feet so much. I didn’t want any of the episodes to end. I can rewatch this 10 more times before I get tired, it’s that good.

2. Kei×Yaku: Abunai Aibou
Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
I really loved this show, there is no sexual intimacy, but the emotional connection is enough to show their love and care for each other. They are also very intimate in other ways that worked so well for their dynamic.

3. KinnPorsche
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
Currently rewatching this. There are some really great moments in this show that make me love it so much. Some actionsin the show are products of their lifestyle and environment and it makes sense in that way. The acting is really enjoyable, the quality is undeniable, and the relationships are very complex.

4. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
I can comfortably say that this is one of the best, if not the best Korean BL on the market today. It’s so refreshing to see that the K-BL industry can give us a story that has more depth, and characters that aren’t just pretty. I loved it so much. It’s not the typical fluff (I love it btw) that we usually get from K-BLs.

5. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
The quality of this show is above and beyond. The chemistry between the two main actors is palpable and doesn’t feel forced. It’s way too short, but what it lacks in number of episodes, it makes up for in content quality.
-
6. Manner of Death
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
Manner of Death changed the game for me with Thai BLs. Maxtul delivered exactly what I expected from them. This was such a great break from all the engineering and college themes that the Thai BL industry always goes for. I was locked in with every episode and never got bored once.

7. Roommates of Poongduck 304
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
You can clearly tell their chemistry with each other improved so much compared to kissable lips. I laughed so much cause of how silly most of it is. If you love fun, this is the series for you.
-
8. Life: Senjou no Bokura
Japanese Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
You never know what to expect with Japanese BLs because you either get the overly explicit ones, or the overly ‘bromance’ ones. This one is not exactly in between thosetwo extremes, but it’s really romantic and cute. I loved the progression so much.

9. Eien no Kino
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
I love supernatural themes so I enjoyed this show a lot more than I expected myself to. I think the comforting ending and the support the partners had for one another throughout made me enjoy it even more.
-
10. HIStory3: Trapped
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
This was my first Taiwanese BL and it was one of the best choices I ever made. At the time I thought nothing could ever top this, but obviously with time, the quality of shows is slowly improving. Regardless of that, this is still a TOPTIER show and the best in the HIStory series collection.
-
11. Semantic Error
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
The classic enemies to lovers trope but done in a way that is really enjoyable. It is way too short.
