1. 30Sai made Doteida to Mahotsukai ni Narerurashi
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
I adore this show and would highly recommend it if you just want some wholesome feel-good times.
The name might seem pretty long but it's also known as just: "Cherry Magic".

2. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
Honest to god great drama, but I really only put this on here to recommend reading the novel for the actual gay romance aspect. Either way though this show is immaculate from the acting to the storyline.

3. BKPP
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
Absolutely amazing series, from the cinematography, to the acting, to the plot. Honestly one of the best Thai BL's I've watched in a while.

4. Like in the Movies

5. We Best Love: Forever the First
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Absolutely sweet and adorable show, although it may be short I highly recommend it!
-
6. HIStory3: Trapped
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
I hope the Taiwanese police force is much more competent than this, but is also still very gay.
My favorite out of the History series!

7. Theory of Love
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
OffGun cute.
Admittedly not for everyone, lots of drama and angst. The story is one continuous roller coaster that will have you being sad one minute and then angry the next with what Third has to deal with. Very fun show to watch in my opinion.

8. Theory of Love : Special Episode "Stand By Me"
Thai Special - 2020, 1 episode
Good closure if you thought the og ending was a bit rushed.

9. TharnType
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
MewGulf made this show.
Recommend reading the synopsis first before watching since the show does deal with some mature themes that some may not be comfortable with. The show is not for everyone, and any opinions and criticisms of it are all totally valid. Ultimately though, it's far from the worst BL I've seen, the theme execution and handling of important plot elements just could've been a lot better.
Ngl though didn't expect much from the author who wrote Kengkla and his "romance".Overall though, while I have issues here and there, I still think it's a pretty decent show that will always be one of my personal favorites. Please pardon me while I plug the actors very quickly because the chemistry is immaculate.
I'm just gonna go back to crying now
I don't usually watch these kinds of videos but I adore Mewgulf and their relationship so here

10. 2gether
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Overall good show, and had a very fun time watching it. Will have more in-depth and opinionated spoilers below. Do not read if you haven't watched it.
Honestly wish I could've rated this series so much higher with how it was going but the way it dropped off towards the end left me pretty disappointed I'm not gonna lie. It was ultimately a combination of the script change, making Pam into a stereotypical BL "break-up" girl when she's actually a supportive queen in the novels. Wasting the last three eps on petty misunderstandings when it could've been ample time to flesh out the side characters and relationships a little better. Lastly, just the general feeling that the chemistry of the main couple fell off towards the end, not for any reason such as NC scenes and so on, but I just didn't get the feeling that they really 'loved' each other by the end of it, rather they felt quite awkward. Still think the series is lovely for what it is, just wish I could've rated it higher is all.

11. Still 2gether
Thai Special - 2020, 5 episodes
Watch 2gether first! Below is literally just spoilers and me gushing over the show.
The happiest fix-it special episode series I've ever watched. I'm so glad that 2gether got this sort of second season to basically tie up all the knots and give some well-deserved closure to the series. Really makes me happy since I personally felt like the first season fell off so hard towards the end for various reasons. It was such a shame because the show was going so well up until the ending portion. Anyways, this reminded me of how much I adored the entire 2gether cast, everyone did an absolutely amazing job with these specials and the chemistry was immaculate. If I ever get to see this cast together again, I will be so thankful.

12. Until We Meet Again
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
Prepare for crying, long pauses, and an amazing cast that put a lot of hard work into making this mystical story about fate and second chances come to life.
Fluke and Earth deserve Oscars and are the only people I believe I can trust in this industry. Gays unite. Jokes aside though it's always great seeing actual talented gay actors take on gay roles. Makes my heart burst.

13. Gameboys
Filipino Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
One of the best BL shows of 2020 period. Really glad shows Like Gameboys are coming along to help give better representation in the BL community.
This show revolves around COVID and how the cast of characters react to the situation while falling in love and talking about LGBTQ+ issues along the way. Kind of cringe at times but not in the bad way, more in the heartfelt "realistic" way if you know what I mean. Amazing actors.
-
14. Why R U?
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Chemistry. Period. Please watch it.
Overall I think this show was solid. I have a couple of issues with it relating to how the production team had to cut out scenes to work around COVID, as well as some plot points that really irked me. The chemistry is extremely solid though.
SaifahZon end scene really do be making me cry still ngl. -
15. Before Your Eyes Stop
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Good chemistry.
FINALLY a good Korean BL with a happy ending. Bless up. It's a shame it is so short.
-
16. Dark Blue Kiss
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Recommend watching the PeteKao cut from the previous series first since this is technically a sequel. Solid show nonetheless.
What can I say about this show that hasn't been said already? There's the iconic theme, the show talks about some relevant LGBTQ+ issues. I have some problems with a few plot points but overall a very nice series.

17. My Engineer
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
Pretty solid BL, a certain couple can be... for lack of a better word a bit too much to deal with at times, but the other couples keep the rest of the show afloat and interesting. Very wholesome series.

18. Sotus
Thai Drama - 2016, 15 episodes
A classic.
-
19. Love by Chance
Thai Drama - 2018, 14 episodes
Decent show for it's time in BL history. Just pretend Kengkla doesn't exist though, absolute vile character.
