BL ACTION/HORROR/MAFIA AND OTHER UNUSUAL THEMES

LAST UPDATED:  10/26/24

There are woefully few BL series with action and exciting plots. Here's a list of the ones that exist at the moment. Not every show on this list is necessarily good, but it all breaks the typical slice-of-life/school/work settings. Please let me know if I missed anything.

CATEGORIES:

MAFIA/MAFIA-ESQUE. Criminal organization or family.

CRIME. Illegal activity outside of mafia.

ACTION. Fighting, sparring, chase scenes, murder. This has moments to get your blood pumping for non-smutty reasons.

HORROR. Scary, gory, bloody. Not necessarily all three.

MYSTERY/THRILLER. Intrigue in the plot, even if the story itself is fairly low-key.

SUPERNATURAL. Includes supernatural elements that aren't pushed aside for slice-of-life plots. 

SCI-FI/APOCALYPTIC. Visions of the future.

LOW INTENSITY. Has elements listed above, but is slow or doesn't utilize them much.


OTHER NOTES:

REC'D. I recommend it.

HAVEN'T SEEN YET. Included because it looks like it fits or I've been told it fits. Take its placement with a grain of salt.

SECONDARY M/M. Main couple is straight, or gay content isn't as heavily featured.


NOT ON MDL:

- TIEN BROMANCE (VIET) - Mafia, Action, Horror. Haven't Seen Yet.

-BOY TOY (CAM)- Crime, Action. Haven't Seen Yet.

    UPCOMING, HORROR.

    Hasn't aired yet, included based on plot/trailer and may be removed in the future.

    NOTE: This may or may not be canceled, because the company situation is a mess, and honestly the photoshopping has me side-eying the entire thing, but we need more dark BL, so I have my fingers crossed that it DOES happen and is better than it looks.

  • Mafia Prince & Bookworm

    114. Mafia Prince & Bookworm

    Thai Drama - 2024

    UPCOMING, MAFIA.

    Hasn't aired yet, included based on plot/trailer and may be removed in the future.

    NOTE: This show is also having some company issues. The project itself may not actually qualify for this list regardless, as I assume it'll lean more toward slice of life with a mafia background--but maybe not. Benefit of the doubt for now.

  • Red Peafowl

    115. Red Peafowl

    Thai Drama - 0000

    UPCOMING, MAFIA, ACTION.

    Hasn't aired yet, included based on plot/trailer and may be removed in the future.

    NOTE: MAY BE CANCELED.

    116. The Tenant

    Thai Movie - 2024

    UPCOMING, HORROR.

    Hasn't aired yet, included based on plot/trailer and may be removed in the future. **Currently aired, but only in theaters, so we'll see.

    NOTE: This might not be BL or even bromance. The company introduced the project as a BL and put out notices to cast for a m/m couple. However, since then, those posts have vanished and there's no trace of any m/m romance in the trailer. I'll keep it on here for now, but it'll be removed if there's nothing gay in it.

  • Killing Stalking

    117. Killing Stalking

    Korean Drama - 0000
