actually good GMMTV BLs
Let's be honest, a lot of GMMTV BLs are either really, really meh, or genuinely bad. I often end up dropping them (often even after less than an episode).
The BLs on this list, however, are good. They might not be the masterpieces of the century, but they were at least enjoyable to watch, had alright acting, and most importantly: non-cringe humor (if you know, you know). Most likely, there won't be many university/high school dramas on here, because I simply dislike them (Also, why are actors over 20 playing high school students. Please. Make it realistic.). I am always open to suggestions :)

1. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
This is one of the better GMMTV BLs I've seen. OhmNanon has great chemistry, the humor in this drama is actually funny, it's enjoyable to watch. The tension in the first half is off the charts. Really one of the best ones.

2. Love in the Air
Thai Drama - 2022, 13 episodes
I have to admit that, contrary to popular opinion, I liked the second half more than the first. The first wasn't bad, but something about Payu icked me so bad. Noeul was very average in this, but shoutout to him for having a massive glow-up recently. I'm excited to watch his next projects. The second half was actually very fun to watch. Was it a masterpiece? Certainly not. But I personally am a sucker for FortPeat (even though they've never had a really good project before, GMMTV is doing them dirty). The plot was kinda refreshing, and yes, I have to admit that I liked seeing a genuinely traumatized character for once. Idk, maybe I enjoy suffering.
Anyway, bottom line is that you're not wasting your time watching this.

3. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
I dropped it for a while and picked it up again. This isn't actually a romance drama in my opinion, which I enjoyed. First OffGun BL for me, and I don‘t hate the ship. Off can act his ass off (pun most certainly intended). I'm really not a fan of First in this, though. The mop hair is doing him 0 favors. This gets pretty dry in the end, which is why it was hard to finish for me, but overall really not bad.

4. Only Friends
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
dropped
Hear me out. I dropped this in the last episode. I actually enjoyed watching this a lot. Once again, not a typical university BL, and the amount of intimacy scenes were definitely not bad, either. Not really a fan of FirstKhaotung in this, but oh well. Also really not a fan of ForceBook in general. I think I'm never actually gonna like that ship, idk, something is just off for me. I personally loved Neo in this. My boy deserves a main role. I dropped in the last episode cause the drama and the actions of the characters were getting tedious, but it was a fun ride until then.
