BLove
BL philosophy:
- BL is a guilty pleasure.
- Know your kink. People who kink-shame can go hang.
- BL rankings are obviously measured on a different scale
- There are not many second seasons on the list, I am a foreplay sort of person ;)
- A green flag is a red flag, no?
- The important thing with GMMTV is knowing what not to watch.
BL facts:
- Lipgloss in Thailand is no joke
- Fashion in Taiwanese BLs is questionable
- All lists must have 3 points XD
Some great BLs came out 2023/2024 so there is some major rearrangement taking place.

101. Love Storm
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
MAME gone mainstream. Puppy love.
Prapai had huge potential and I loved the one night stand story but thereafter he's just too white knight -
102. HIStory4: Close to You
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
ah... this one had mixed reviews. Fortunately the Jongjie/XingSi storyline is my kink- so i loved this one. The rest is
disgustinglysweet ;) -
103. Kimi ni wa Todokanai
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
manga adaptation, but charmingly done.
-
104. See You After Quarantine?
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
This one has nothing on BoysLockdown. Some cute scenes.
-
105. Bad Roomate
Thai Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
TikTok web format. 5min eps, not high-end but really well executed considering
-
106. HIStory: My Hero
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
Is it even BL if the soul occupying the body is technically female?
-
107. HIStory: Stay Away From Me
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
faux-incest really works for me
-
108. A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
that took a bad turn towards the end. Earth and Mix get cast in these insanely romantic, emotional, silent-waters-run-deep-plots.
-
109. 25 Ji, Akasaka de
Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
When Asami smiles just once in the later episodes, I was like: it must have been so hard to have zero facial expression up until now. Why not more smiling??
-
110. Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey
Thai Drama - 2016, 6 episodes
look beyond the childish title. Watch for the original OffxGun. Gun on the offense
-
111. Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey 2
Thai Drama - 2017, 8 episodes
Gun and OFF are awesome as usual. I like this slightly emotional abuse to their dynamic. But here their story is just superficial. Nothing compared to theory of love
-
112. Love Syndrome III: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
When I see people screaming 'toxicity' in the comments over and over - I'm like: 'where? where??'. The twisted relationship works for me, but I had some issues with the storytelling.
the NSFW scenes are barely PG 12+ - even in the uncut version. But I liked Day's fixation with Itt's neck. I thought the two side couples acutally had much better chemistry.
The best thing about this drama LSS fighting people & the ridiculous pyjamas.
-
113. Century of Love
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Cool premise but the betrayal twist was so off-putting I barely managed to finish, even though I could uderstand where he came from.
-
114. Ryu Sun Bi's Wedding Ceremony
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
yay for rocking the sub-genre!
-
115. Tinted With You
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
time-travelling theme.
-
116. No Regret
Korean Movie - 2006
I can't even remember watching this - lol
-
117. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Oho - look at Ohm suddenly showing off all kinds of cheekbones and flirting skills! He really outgrew the gentle features of He's coming to me.
Strong start. Watch for the iconic kiss in ep 5. Thereafter your either love it or hate it.
-
118. Kidnap
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
zero chemistry and weak plot. Turns out Ohm needs a strong acting partner. Within 2 eps Ohm-Nannon had a strong relationship established in Bad Buddy. Still waiting for Leng and Ohm to create that kind of tension. Either may be replaced with a slice of white toast...
-
119. Plus & Minus
Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
It's not actally bad. Better than Be loved in House: I do. Which is the same crew. But it's a bit bland
-
120. The Trainee
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
is this even BL? I think they had to cast GunOff and pepper in 3' of extended eye contact per episode just to get this plot sold.
In BL you can find bad writing, bad acting, bad chemistry any day... but this is the first time I see bad romance. Everything about this is wrong.
-
121. The Tuxedo: Re-Edit Version
Thai Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
4 eps of this was quite enough. But I liked the chemistry and muted colours of the post editing. Gives it a retro feel.
-
122. Even Sun Series
Thai Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
oh well. must watch for BounxPrem but apparently they were wasted on a bizarre and idiotic plot
-
123. Ai no Kotodama
Japanese Movie - 2007
-
124. Mou Mou
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Sweet romantic awakening, I suppose. The leads give me nothing, though
-
125. En of Love: This is Love Story
Thai Drama - 2020, 3 episodes
somehow the age-gap is awkward... or they just don't feel comfortable acting together... idk
-
126. Golden Blood
Thai Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
Gun as ML! But I think I preferred Gun as hapless, clueless senior getting seduced by a younger man. Very odd chemistry in this one and the back story is a bit ridiculous.
-
127. Wandee Goodday
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
You know it's GMMTV when the mood-lighting is over the top colourful.
Top notch chemistry but it's endlessly boring towards the end. Barely finished. -
128. Love is like a Cat
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
There are no cats. No one is a wer-cat either (I thought that would be it)
If you’re looking for a show with cute animals in it, you won’t find it here, and you’re honestly better off just watching dog or cat videos on Youtube.
-
129. Paint with Love
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
dnf. sue me. Probably works for most people, though.
-
130. Baker Boys
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
dnf.
Remake of Japanese original. This role does not fit Singto to a t. He's just too teddy bear to pull off the irresistible gay conquerer. I wish I could give this a higher rating...
-
131. HIStory: Obsessed
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
Sorry, were you expecting a wholesome relationship or a morale at the end? What part of the title gave you that misguided idea? The problem is : what sissy-crap is this?
-
132. Laws of Attraction
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
I am constantly going back and forth between dropping and binging. This has strong lakorn feel - not much to look at in terms of cinematography or editing. Bouncing between brutal and cringy. I think Film's acting is what makes this difficult to watch for me. He borders on loony lawyer, although I am given to understand his smile is supposed to be sexy. He is more authentic later but he still shows those lewd smiles in the most inappropriate moments. I am all for ravishing the drunk, but I am surprised that i draw the line at seducing a man who is emotionally wrecked by the death of his baby niece. And the abused rich boy and his bodyguard should be my kink but somehow that's even worse of a plot line.
Jam is actually a very good actor and makes the whole thing worth watching.
-
133. Unforgotten Night
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
it was awful. I loved it.
the writers sat in a room and Jon from accounting said "BDSM Mafia Boss". one person said "what about the storyline?" "don't worry about it" Jon from accounting replied. "the hornies don't care about that." and they really stuck to that because except the lil quarrel they had in the end, nothing really happened. Until Jon from accounting said "you know what. throw in a threesome, but don't build up or follow up on it at any point ok?" and the room said "Sure thing, Jon".
-
134. Stand by Your Side
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
dnf. I am too old for this type of young rom com. Or it's too bad. idk
-
135. Seven Project
Thai Drama - 2021, 7 episodes
I am just not an anthology lover.
Ep1: story: meh. romance: soso
Ep 2: -
Ep3: for Boun x Prem - very nice dynamic. they are so adorable. -
136. Gen Y
Thai Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
Nice flirting- but overladen with side stories.
-
137. You're My Sky
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
mediocre across the board.
-
138. Blueming
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
bland.
-
139. Mr.Heart
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
boring
-
140. Pit Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
12 eps of 45' would have given them A LOT of room to tell a story. They choose not to. Actually, NOTHING much happens. Watch it with your brains switched off. It's pretty enough and the uncut version might actually be worth it for the steamy scenes as they carry a lot of the story.
-
141. Ameiro Paradox
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
dnf. manga adaptation. Need I say more?
-
142. Kieta Hatsukoi
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
dnf. manga adaptation - the usual problem: what works in panels does not work irl
-
143. 2gether
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Reviews foreshadow a big disappointement. I should have believed them.
Reasons this didn't work for me: too many too count. Reason I still gave 4 stars: Toptap and Mike -
144. WISH YOU : Your Melody In My Heart
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
30 min into the movie and nothing has happened yet. ... booooring
-
145. Niti Man Society and Lover
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
dnf. nil character depth, no recogniseable storyarch, and sooo old-fashioned for a 2021 BL.
-
146. Boy Meets Boy
Korean Movie - 2008
-
147. My Love Mix-Up!
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
dnf. started well enough but derailed quickly. No pull.
-
148. Until We Meet Again
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
with a little bit of effort this might have been better off as a psychological thriller. so bad. so much crying and long stares and dragging
-
149. Bake Me Please
Thai Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
Yes well. It has Poom.
Another Foodie BL that features exrtemely little food and extremely little plot and Dean 2.0 who meets all his romantic partners while grocery shopping.
-
150. Be Loved in House
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
It's cheap, and cringey. The story is ridiculous and the acting very stiff. Watch this if you want to be cheered up and smile at how bad this is.
-
151. Cutie Pie
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
dnf.
Should have been been Saint x Zee. Unfortunately script like a fanfic of a 12-year old, if you can't find a better cliffhanger than Zee looking at you like he will eat you right up, you really really really have nothing to say.
-
152. SunsetxVibes: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
dnf. this is definitely not a bingeable show.
High production but so far It's sadly going to lengthen my already overly long list of mediocre BLs which seems to be a specialty in Thaïland. Not great, not fun, but watchable when you have some time to waste.The shy virgin trope with the vanilla plot is just too much. The novel it is based on is supposedly basically porn. Not sure that would have been better.
-
153. My Sweet Dear
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
dnf. Foody BL. Interesting dynamic. #AbsBeforeEp3
-
154. Deep Night
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
dnf. hell no.
-
155. Grab A Bite
Thai Drama - 2021, 11 episodes
dnf. the speed of this is positively glacial and the chemisty is equally frosty. But the foodporn and music are nice
-
156. YYY
Thai Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
dnf. oh lord. I can't even. Sooo overacted.
-
157. Behind Cut
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes

165. Happy of the End
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
-
166. The Ex-Morning
Thai Drama - 2025
mixed feelings. Krist/Singto are legendary. Not sure they can delivery the same glorious performance that we remember. If this turn out a falling short I might be too disappointed.
-
167. Cat for Cash
Thai Drama - 0000
GMMTV 2025 - I get it. FirstKhao are versatile. But this? Isn't it wasteing their skill?
-
168. Only Friends: Dream On
Thai Drama - 0000
GMMTV 2025 line up. Can it possibly be as good as Season1? But it has MixEarth... But it also has OhmLeng and did they really reuse the OST?
-
169. Burnout Syndrome
Thai Drama - 0000
GMMTV 2025 line up. I wasn't gonna watch, but the trailer is intruiging. Gun is a superp actor and his roles are deep and interesting (The Trainee aside). Same director as NOT ME and similar feel.
