My Favourite Danmei/BL/Yaoi Shows (C/K/J/TW)

I am so in love with this show. The relationship between Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu is absolutely blatantly obvious even if those two do not kiss. Even Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were way subtler than those two. 

It doesn't get any sweeter, fluffier, and more innocent than this.  This show is so sweet it will rot your teeth and I totally love it for it. If you had a bad day and need to be cheered up - watch this. 

This will probably only make sense if you know the book or have already watched the entire show since it focuses mainly on the relationship between Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian while cutting out a lot of the side stories and secondary characters. I love it because the ending is much better then the one from  the original show but it might confuse someone who doesn't know the book or the original 60 episode long show. 

So yes this story is officially NOT BL but the UST and subtext is so heavy in this show that many people agree that show is gayer then a lot of proper Korean BLs, which are often just painfully awkward. 

Based on a beautiful one-shot manga, it is a Yaoi story done right. No dub-con or non-con but trials and tribulations that are realistic and sometimes heartbreaking but don't worry, the story does have a happy ending. The movie is better than the show since it adds scenes at the end from the manga which makes the whole thing feel a lot more complete than the show.

This is a modern classic and not by chance. It has a great love story, so many great characters, so many young actors who were able to show their acting skills. I am quite certain that Tencent was completely surprised  when the show became the biggest international hit compared to all other Chinese shows.

Probably the first Korean BL I truly loved. The leads have chemistry and while the story is nothing wild it is still well told. I really liked this. 

This show reminded me a bit of Banana Fish because it is a story involving a brilliant gangster and an innocent boy (in this case a cop and not an athlete), also the ending is at least a bit hopeful and not heartbreaking like in Banana Fish

A Korean BL that sort of worked for me. It is still too short and underdeveloped but a lot better compared to other BL shows such as "Colorrush" 

This movie has a lot in common with "Moonlight". It is beautifully shot and deserves a lot more praise and attention but you will need tissues. The story is heartbreaking.

This is a must-watch since this is, in fact, the actual ending of the show but stuck behind a paywall (Viki Standard and Youkou Ultimate Fan Pass).
