1. Kabe Sa Doujin Sakka no Neko Yashiki-kun wa Shouninyokkyou wo Kojiraseteiru
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Even if this one should be a comedy, it gives a pretty realistic view on how life is when you've depression. I find this, somehow, more mature than others BL.
TW: depression.

2. 180 Degrees Longitude Between Us
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Sad, complicated and realistic story. This is the best thai BL I've ever watched.

3. Killing Curriculum: Jinroh Shokei Game - Prologue
Japanese Movie - 2015
Incredible to say, I loved this movie. It is so bad that it's good. The weird cannibalistic/masochistic yet innocent relationship between the MLs was the cherry on top.
TW: death, suicide, bullying, sexual violence/incest.

5. Summer Vacation 1999
Japanese Movie - 1988
This movie is a must watch. It's weird, absurd, complicated and confusing.
TW: suicide, unrequired love.

6. Double
Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
It's difficult to describe what is this drama. It isn't exactly a BL, it isn't exactly a psychological drama. It isn't even a bromance, since one of the ML confesses his feelings. Anyway, it's such a good drama.
TW: emotional dependence, self-destructive behaviors, selective mutism.
