101. The Eclipse

Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

7.5
- At this school when the eclipse comes terrible things happen to trouble making students - this is where a troublemaker and a school prefect fall in love
- I have loved the 2 leads of this series for years and I was glad to see them partnered up here and so many fans agree - they looove this series and Khaotung and First
- I've found that this director doesn't really work for me - It was meant to explore thai society and the messed up justice system on the micro scale of a school setting, which works in theory, but I found it kinda stupid when fully realised in live action- don't kill me!
- sidenote: I really hope the leads aren't typecast as this dynamic - I really want to see First play a bad boy like he has previously, but I'm afraid he'll always play the innocent straightlaced guy, because Khoatuing suits the "badboy" aesthetic
102. Bon Appetit

Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

7.5
103. Liquor

Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

7.5
- A talented chef who doesn't allow alcohol at his restaurant and a boy who loves to drink start to work together and feelings come to fruition
- The middle 4 episodes of this drama are so so good - the chemistry is great and its so fun to watch these 2 leads bond and to learn about the drinking culture in South Korea
- The first 2 and last 2 episodes of this drama really let it down - the first 2 are way too slow and the last 2 focus on unnecessary drama and the leads building chemistry kinda fizzles out to nothing
- I did have fun with this drama and would recommend it still - I think its got a far worse reputation that it deserves - its just a standard kbl, with a standard atrocious kbl kiss
104. Wedding Plan

Thai Drama - 2023, 7 episodes

7.5
- a wedding planner and a groom meet and start to fall in love
- this plot sounded so fun and messy and I was so excited for it but this drama ended up being so *yawn*
- the leads fell in love so quickly - basically at first sight which is not my thing and it meant that the misunderstandings took twice as long as they needed fill the plot
- there were episodes in this where I thought it was actually getting good, but then I’d be disappointed the next episode- Mames dramas are never incredible, but I feel like they always have stars with insane chemistry to fall back on, but I felt this leads chemistry in this was just fine, nothing special.
105. Big Dragon

Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

7.5
- It‘s messy: the leads kind of drug each other and then film them sleeping together to blackmail each other
- Firstly the theme song for this is INCREDIBLE - I’m obsessed
- I thinkthis leads had good chemistry, they gave these roles their 100% and it had a way better production quality than I would’ve expected
- But it was marketed as this epic hatred to love romance, but it felt like they argued for 1 episode and then fell in love, they were cute but I wanted more toxicity from that synopsis
106. Individual Circumstances

Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

7.5
- A film director meet again after unexpectedly parting in university
- i liked this more than most people I loved the locations and the dynamic of the leads: grumpy and adorable puppy
- The last episode felt little unnecessary and wasted - also there were some big mistakes- microphones clearly left in shots
- Warning: it ends with 3 “dead fish” kisses - if those bother you -avoid this drama
107. Ossan's Love

Hong Kong Drama - 2021, 15 episodes

7.5
- Hong Kong adaptation of a jdrama - and my first HKdrama
- A guy finds out his boss and coworker both have crushes on him
- It's silly and a lot of fun, I didn't like the little I saw of the jdrama, but this was so much better - a lot more toned down
- the lead was fabulous - so funny. the lead couple were extremely underdeveloped though, I'd go as far as to say this drama isn't their love story so don't expect good romance
108. You're My Sky

Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

7.5
109. Cherry Blossoms After Winter

Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

7.5
110. En of Love: Love Mechanics

Thai Drama - 2020, 4 episodes

7.5
- Surprisingly good
- guy and gf going through some difficulties and hE gets closer to his junior
- I like the have a gf trope in BLs so I enjoyed it
- it was pretty mediocre but I’m trash so I liked it.
111. My Engineer

Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes

7.5
- Big cast - everyone couples up
- took a few episodes to get good
- Thara is the best character (tharafrong and ramaking endgames please)
112. Cutie Pie

Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes

7.5
- One boy hides his true personality from his fiance
- I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYTHING IN THIS DRAMA HAPPENED!!! The first and second couples stories didn't make sense!
- the leads had great chemistry, it definitely had money and it was pretty to look at, if youcan ignore that it makes zero sense and just enjoy fluff it’s great
- the third couple were EVERYTHING and need their own series - adorable innocent Buddhist and flirty bad boy go from enemies to lovers - yaaas - shame they had 1 scene per episode
113. Khun Chaai

Thai Drama - 2022, 17 episodes

7.5
- A man in the 1930's is set to take over his fathers business empire, but he will lose it all if his secret comes out: he's gay (btw the lead was way too nice and self sacrificing)
- This is the first proper lakorn where the lead character is gay - it was on a big channel and had extremely high ratings of all ages watched it in Thailand
- It's almost too much of a lakorn for me - the constant backstabbing, spying and secrets between the family - very traditional lakorns aren't my thing for that reason anyway
- The couple were actually quite sweet with good chemistry - its rich man/poor boy, but then poor boys sent to kill rich boy, but falls in love instead
114. First Love for the Third Time

Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes

7.5
- Man’s first love dies, in his next life he finds her, but she dies again, third life her finds her again, but she’s a man in this life
- I liked this concept and the couple were very cute and had good chemistry
- they seemed to fall in love really quick, but I still really liked them
- i think the drama confused itself by the end, characters were acting weird and some completely out of character for convenience
115. HIStory4: Close to You

Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

7.5
- 2 best friends one cold and closed off, the other an unlucky in love puppy, start to see each other in a new light
- the lead relationship alone was a 9/10 they are so cute but the second couple were too problematic for me to not rate this the whole drama down
- warning: second couples story involves rape (which is romanticized) and so so much manipulation (I skipped the majority of their storyline after that)
- Also I didn't appreciate all the MODC references cause it just made me cry knowing my fave is dead
116. Like in the Movies

Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

7.5
- lots of people consider this the best bl of 2020 - definitely one of the healthiest
- but I found a lot of the show quite slow
- I didn’t connect with any of the characters and found a lot of what they said cliched - it left me without an emotional connection to the series - also the ending confused me
- It also suffered from it airing at the same time as one of my all time favourite dramas (ITSAY) - although they aren’t similar I couldn‘t help but compare them - sorry!
117. Coming Back Again

Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

7.5
- a man travels back in time 15 years to meet the man who saved his life when he was 10
- this was surprisingly good, but felt too short - like all KBLs - they fell for eachother too quickly for me
- i thought the leads had a. good connection and I enjoyed the time travel aspect
- Lots of people hated the ending, but I thought it was pretty obvious - so I was prepared and able to enjoy it
118. Long Time No See

Korean Drama - 2017, 5 episodes

7.0
- A Korean BL - I’m honestly shocked

- this was dramatic but still had sweet moments
- i didnt love it - I don’t know why I didn’t, bit it’s still good
119. Be Loved in House

Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

7.0
- Forced cohabitation, workplace romance, hate to love, this has all the tropes
- This started out incredible but ended up being so slow I lost almost all interest
- Also I never really got any of the work storyline so I kinda didn't pay proper attention to those scenes
- BUT i am madly in love with one of the leads, his dimples brought me so much joy every week

122. Why R U?

Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes

7.0
- a bit of a mess, there are 2 main couples, 3 side BL couples and 2 straight couples and SO badly edited (multiple times there’s been a black screen for a couple seconds in the middle of a scene)
- Apparently 2 main couples, but the cutest couple get side lined for the other one (I swear I’m not bitter)
- The other main couple have good chemistry, lots of sexual scenes which aren’t my thing but might be yours
- because of the corona virus my favourite couples storyline will be incomplete until they can shoot a special episode

7.0
124. The Secret (Love)

Thai Special - 2021, 1 episode

7.0
- I didn't want to watch TharnType2 but want to watch Leo and Fiats new series so this was perfect
- tells the story of 2 boys who are best friends both in love with each other but wont admit it
- its too short for me to rate it higher but if it was longer I'd have loved it they have this obsession with each other I love in my couples
- Not seen a character as promiscuous as Fiat before in a BL but the reasons he gave were interesting and the angle was new and different
125. Boarding House Number 5

Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

7.0
- Guy takes over his mums boarding house, he hast 4 tenants and it’s all their stories
- it was fun and simple
- I wish we spent more time with the leads they had great chemistry and in scenes with just them their dynamic was adorable
- too much attention on the second couple I ended up skipping their scenes, as well as the jealous second male lead who was more annoying and unnecessary than sympathetic

7.0
- 2 musicians meet fall in love and make music together

Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes

7.0
- 2 boys become step bothers, one of thems an idol and their forced to cohabit

6.5
- a player wakes up in a parallel world and falls in love with a boy there
- this could’ve been good but it was told so confusingly - I was so lost and bored most of the time - a waste of OhmFlukes chemistry
- its the same director as The Eclipse and I also didn’t like how that was told - so I don’t think I’m a fan of her style

161. Judo Boys

Korean Drama - 2022, 5 episodes

3.0
- 2 judo stars and one of their school friends become a love triangle
- I think I had second lead syndrome for this series, although I’m still not sure who the main love interest was
- i really wanted the 2 judo fighters to end up together and found the school friend a jerk who ended up messing with the lead more than anything
- this is seriously low budget, ridiculously low, and if I liked the mains love story I may’ve given it a higher rating, but the couple I liked shard 5 mins on screen over the whole series
