My BL shows

Cliffhanger ending was unexpected.

Currently on-hold

IMO, it took too long  get revealed but watch ep 7 before you decide you're done with the show. It's a key episode.

The show is super popular and funny. The MLs are our high-five bros.

Satisfying ending. I was glued to the screen and paying attention to everything, all the dialog and details very carefully. It's just that kind of show, because if you blink, you might miss a crucial clue.
IMO, the NC scenes were gratuitous and didn't add to the plot. They could have shown less skin and it wouldn't have changed the plot.

HR nightmare of CEO dating his intern? As much as Cher and Gun tried to keep their romance secret, everyone seemed to know anyway.

Another bully to friends to something more, and it was well done. The leads are idols in the same band IRL, so they already have chemistry from that. As acting newbies, I thought they did really well. Ignore the low rating - people were disappointed that they didn't see a "real" kiss.
TW: One of the MLs has childhood trauma.

Slow burn romance set in a tiny mountain village. Undeniable chemistry between the leads.

Cut short due to censorship

I watched this reframing it in my mind, meaning not really considering it an adaptation of Are You Addicted? by CJD. Taking it at face value, it was entertaining enough.

 Censored Adaptation Of Same-sex Original Work 

Cut short due to censorship. BTS found on YouTube are plentiful and entertaining, showing this was far from bromance.

Cute and fluffy with married couple Porsch Apiwat Apiwatsayree and Arm Sappanyoo Panatkool playing Ai's parents.

Sequel to Ai Long Nhai 

MLs families have been enemies even before they were born, and they are next-door neighbors. Rivals to lovers trope that's well done. Episode 5 rooftop scene was epic.

I didn't feel like this added anything to the original series. 

Far from perfect but I really enjoyed this one with First playing the more serious/reserved character. Ja was the fun, immature college student which he played perfectly.

Interesting premise. I wish it were longer to develop each of the 3 couples' relationships more. Supposedly, there might be a sequel, Because of You Season 2. 

Leads had excellent chemistry.  One of the few BL series that mentions counseling and medication for treating depression. I was pretty impressed.
TW: Childhood abuse, sexual harassment

Despite the poor reviews, this was watchable once I realize that I should ignore the mafia-esque show poster because the mafia doesn't show up. Instead, it's a college RomCom with rich, bisexual playboys who fall for each other after a drugged night of passion - the result of one scheming against the other but his bumbling assistants screwed up. Sedative, is that the same as aphrodisiac? 

Pros: discussion of same-sex marriage, GL representation, supportive mothers, Lead actors had chemistry and can act.
Cons: DubCon, poor ending considering S2 never materialized

College relationship ended badly and the two MLs unexpectedly meet at their college library just days before a world-ending meteor will hit the earth. NC scenes are hot!

Fluffy story

Cute story, absolute fan service for OnlyOneOf fans.

Starts historical then switches to modern as the 100-year mark draws to a close. It becomes more urgent for San to find the reincarnation of Wat. Sensei Tao has made various calculations that lead to Vee, but San is far from accepting that outcome.

MLs live in the same home but rarely hang out. High school to college romance.

A wonderful adaptation of the Japanese 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii but they made it truly Thai. The leads, who always have amazing chemistry, did not disappoint. I have a very slight preference for the Thai version.  

also known as Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! 

Sequel to 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii 

From comments I've read, this has been toned down from the manga which had SA. Since I didn't read the manga, I got a fluffy version instead, which I enjoyed. 

Rural Thailand setting where siblings Win and Lin swap bodies after a car accident. A monk tells Win that he needs to collect holy water from 4 temples in order to switch bodies back with his sister who remains unconscious. And he needs to be accompanied by his former childhood friend Korn, with whom he had a falling out over an inheritance.

Arranged marriage trope where the MLs have been engaged since childhood. One of them went abroad for school and when he returned, their relationship was more distant. As the younger one is completing his university degree, they get to know each other again but it seems awkward, esp. since the younger one is hiding many facets of himself.  The leads have amazing chemistry.
The second couple have a weird relationship that's not properly explained, but we get their back story in the spin-off Naughty Babe. 

Prequel: Cutie Pie 

High school setting, bullying, social class differences. Not much "danger" in their romance. As much as their interactions seem natural, their kissing scenes were awkward.

Prequel: Kiss Me Again: Pete-Kao 

NC scenes were nicely done

What happens when the heads of rivals dorms fall for each other? How long can they keep it a secret from their friends? Great chemistry between the leads and episode 10's NC scene was hot. (Note that this didn't have an international release so the MDL rating is unusually low for such a good show, probably because it was impossible to find good subtitles).

Mystery, Romance, Drama, Supernatural. Emotional.

Phuwin was so young in this one. I love the "magic" of the Kitty Gang in their makeover transformation of Pi.

A hidden gem. I loved this show,

This could have been better. It had an interesting premise, but went downhill once we found out what happened to Blue.

Currently watching

A cute series where an actor has a crush on his neighbor before even meeting him. It's quite endearing and I found it an easy and enjoyable watch.

Fluffy and so very cute

Interesting premise with good NC scenes.

TW: High school trauma.

The MLs were stepbrothers for a very brief time. As adults, they are still hounded by their past which continue to encroach into their present. 

Body transformation, supernatural.

TW: One ML has prior trauma from his idol trainee days

This was a spin-off of Until We Meet Again and is Win and Team's story. There's undeniable attraction between them but they are in this uncertain stage in their relationship for a long time because of how it all started.
TW: Childhood trauma

I've heard that this adaptation follows the manga very closely, and I respect that. Personally, a show of a little initiative from Taichi towards Kohei would have cemented this as a 10/10 rating for me. Still, I really enjoyed the series.

Nothing new with the plot, but I'm a fan of the leads who always have great chemistry.

A dramatic show with a child custody battle. Engaging and heartwarming. A hidden gem.

A summer romance that's incredibly sweet. Prequel to the movie His.

I fall for Mafia stories. I thoroughly enjoyed my binge-watch. We deserve a Season 2

Probably one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Great production and the leads' chemistry, from lingering touches and looks, are on point. You'll want to watch it just for the olive oil.

Looking forward to Season 2.

P'Yu realizes that Ai had harbored feelings for him even before his 20th birthday and was quite pleased, while Ai felt shy and embarrassed about it. Of course, Ing probably realized it first because he's very perceptive when it comes to Ai and what Ai is not saying. Overall, a fun watch of the childhood friends to lovers trope with a fantastical touch. Wonderful, supportive parents.

Special Episode

Sweet, youth romance, where we have two main couples. They find a sense of belonging in one another. One ML is in a band and the OST is fantastic.

This is one of the best coming of age LGBTQ+ stories I have seen. Set in Phuket, the scenery is breath-taking. It's well-acted, well-directed, and I loved it. In Teh, we have a character confused about his sexuality as he finds himself attracted to his long-term crush Tan and to Oh-aew, his former best friend with whom he has recently reunited. TW: This emotional drama is not your typical BL.

This is the sequel to ITSAY. It's a roller coaster ride for your emotions, but if you recall your college years and all the bad decisions you made, maybe you'll sympathize with the characters a little better. They're in their late teens to early 20s, and they don't communicate well. As a budding actor, Teh is being ruled by his emotions and passion. Oh-aew has a group of loyal friends who made me laugh and made me cry. TW: infidelity

High school gang leader falls for his tutor. Great redemption arc.

Currently watching

A long-term couple have a fight leading to a break-up, causing one of them to run out. That night, he gets into an accident and, upon waking, has amnesia, but only forgetting his partner. His partner takes him back to their home and only tells him they were roommates.

I don't know why I assumed this was just another fluffy BL. It turned to be more than that.
TW: Internalized homophobia

Workplace setting; HR nightmare, but funny and they're cute together.

Set in 1930s and 1940s, Romance, Fantasy, Drama (I would say melodramatic, esp. for Song’s first and second wives). Thian has been groomed to take over the family business, but he has a secret that is costing lives. I love the relationship between brothers Yang and Thian.

aka My Love Mix-Up! 

Childhood best friends navigate their new feelings for each other.

aka I Only Want to Keep Looking at You. A sweet, youth romance.

Mafia setting. Steamy NC scenes.
TW: violence, Stockholm syndrome

Prequel to Dark Blue Kiss 

Currently on-hold

Miyata-kun and Takashi were close in high school. More than 10 years later, they meet again professionally, and Takashi is keen in rekindling what they had in high school. Each episode reveals a little more of the incident that tore them apart, and I found the storytelling compelling.

Interesting fated mate concept that went downhill near the end, IMO.

The last two episodes caused quite a commotion when they aired. I was happy with the ending, but I can see why some people may have felt Mhok got the short end of the stick. With regards to the other controversy, I was happy with the screenwriter's/director's choice. I thought it was realistic.

Short episode between I Told Sunset about You and I Promised You the Moon. 

I love Film and Jam. Film as the attorney Charn was epic.
TW: Death of family member
