Good morning!! I’m so happy for you hitting 2.5K!!
What are your top 12 BL tropes???
HEY FRIENDS CELEBRATE ME REACHING 2500 FOLLOWERS BY SENDING ME ASKS:
Nothing’s off the table for these asks. You can ask me anything. Top 3′s, Top 5′s, Top 10′s, even Top 22′s (lord). They can be BL related, KPOP related, food, movies, people. Or you can just drop in the ask box to show your love and congratulate ya sis on 2500
THANKS FOR DROPPING BY! Top 12 tropes?? 12?? such a random number lol. Google defines a trope as "a significant or recurrent theme; a motif." So I think anything can be a trope as long as it is repetitive throughout a genre.
1.Omg they're soulmates! I am a sucker for the good ole, "every pot has it's lid" type of situation. I like the idea of people being built in pairs or more. I like the idea that a person isn't alone in this world
(Color Rush, Until We Meet Again, Guardian)
2. Two lonely boys becoming roommates under very weird circumstances and falling in love and a birthday just so happens to be celebrated. I know it sounds specific but it is indeed a thing. I promise. I made a list.
(To My Star, You Make Me Dance, Cherry Blossoms After Winter)
3. Playboy meets Playboy and falls in love. I love the idea of it taking a playboy to tame another playboy.
(Y-Destiny, Fahlanruk)
4. The doctor + engineering student pairing. Idk I've seen it so many times and it's usually always so cute.
(Gen Y, 2MOONS2, My Ride)
5. Romantic, slow-mo apron tying. It normally pops up in the series with chefs or baristas.
(My Sweet Dear, Ingredients, The Tasty Florida)
6. Speaking of Baristas. I love any series with a sweet, sage-like barista. You know the one that gives great advice, but are struggling in the love department themselves.
(History 3: MODC, History 4, Dark Blue Kiss)
7. Younger lead being the pursuer of the older lead who is not all that interested at first but eventually gets won over. I love the trope. A lot actually. The younger lead tends to baby the older one and I find it cute.
(Oxygen the Series, Lovely Writer, Sotus)
8. MOTORCYCLE BI CHARACTERS. Oh I love an edgy bisexual.
(Love in the Air, Between Us, Lovely Writer)
9. Normally cold or angry characters being soft with their SO. I hate people but I'm fond of you so you get to see my soft side. My beloved.
(The Untamed, My Engineer the Series, Takara-kun to Amagi-kun)
10. The good ole, "Run like a track star for your love" trope Japanese BLs are fond of.
(Old Fashion Cupcake, Kieta Hatsukoi, Cherry Magic)
11. The beach trip/restoration camp Thai BLs are fond of.
(Why R U, Love Mechanics, Secret Crush on You)
12. There aren't a TON of series out like this and if I could get more I'd be super happy, but Mafia x Cop pairing. A different twist to the forbidden romance trope.
(Kei x Yaku, History 3: Trapped)
HEY FRIENDS CELEBRATE ME REACHING 2500 FOLLOWERS BY SENDING ME ASKS:
Nothing’s off the table for these asks. You can ask me anything. Top 3′s, Top 5′s, Top 10′s, even Top 22′s (lord). They can be BL related, KPOP related, food, movies, people. Or you can just drop in the ask box to show your love and congratulate ya sis on 2500

Any cute fluffy bl recs (preferably kbl)
i'm at ur service anon 🫡
idk what series you have seen so i'm going to include some popular ones and then delve into the obscure <3 btw its been awhile since ive seen some of these and my memory is bad. so take things with a grain of salt;;
kbl:
semantic error - very popular for a reason, its super cute w/ an enemies to lovers storyline, definitely fluffy at the end
roommates of poonduck 304 - rom-com style roommates/coworkers fall in love, honestly i just love jiwoong in this role, there's a third act fight i find annoying but it doesn't drag the series down!
the new employee - SO good. feels very genuinely lgbt as opposed to just bl (if that makes sense). refreshing communication.
love tractor - receives a million stars simply for having the cutest main love interest of all time. hes adorable. city boy meets country boy etc etc
choco milkshake - disclaimer: weird premise of a guy's pets come back as humans. additional disclaimer: i did almost cry. its really well acted and super cute and fluffy.
all the liquors - the plot makes no sense but the main characters are so charming that you look past it.
tinted with you - mr. park junhee goes back in time and meets a prince. its short but tbh one of the better paced mini kbls since it keeps itself contained.
nobleman ryu's wedding - another historical one, ft han sejin. i don't remember all of the details of this one but i do remember it being sweet. there is a random love triangle though so...be advised
mr. heart - han sejin is in this one too! sports/ track theme. basically the quintessential fluffy kbl mini-series.
love class - apparently a second season is coming soon?? anyway fluffy college bl.
others i think you might like! (under a cut bcs this post is getting long.)
jbl:
Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard? (aka cherry maho) - quintessential fluffy office romance with a hint of supernatural elements, very quickly cemented itself as a classic
kieta hatsukoi - quintessential fluffy highschool romance, i love aoki sm and all the characters are charming
Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss! - college romcom with supernatural elements, the characters are so earnest that you cant help but root for them despite their flaws
bokura no shokutaku - cutest fluffiest drama featuring food and warmth and found family
taiwanese bl:
plus and minus - my favorite hidden gem of all time. childhood friends to lovers and its done so well. disclaimer: the 3rd act breakup is stupid.
about youth - simple and sweet

hi there i love your blog
what are your top rated bls of all time. i need some recs.
Hi anon! Sorry this took forever I was busy when I first saw this ask and then it got buried under all the others 😔 but! Of course I have recs for you!
Not gonna go for the obvious ones like Theory of Love or A Tale of a Thousand Stars or even Bad Buddy which I really do love despite my hatred for the finale bc you likely already know those. So here’s some BLs I looooove but don’t really post about-
1. Light On Me- korean bl, high school setting, love triangle done Very Well. I did talk about this a bunch when it was airing but not so much anymore. It’s definitely my favourite k bl tho and I love it with all my heart. 1000/10 would recommend, absolute perfection.
2. Gameboys- filo bl set near the start of the quarantine, showcases the sudden shift in lifestyle caused by the pandemic, the rise of online intimacy and coping with long distance relationships, very cute and heartwarming show. Everyone should watch it at least once.
3. Dark Blue Kiss- thai bl, this one is a bit controversial bc a lot of people hate it but to me this show- particularly PeteKao’s plot line -did a really good job of exploring the effects of issues like internalised homophobia and being forced to be closeted by societal pressure on queer relationships. A lot of people who watch it completely miss the nuance of the plot tho and just reduce it to an overdone jealousy arc which isn’t even the case. Anyway, I think DBK is a lot better than most people realise and it definitely holds some really important conversations about queerness in modern times.
4. Mr Heart- korean bl, short and cutesy story featuring secret crushes, (re)meet cutes and a lot of running (with a dash of poverty struggles)
5. A Man Who Defies The World of BL- japanese bl, parodies the cliché and/or toxic sides of the bl industry and bl culture by setting up the story from the pov of a man who realises he’s an extra in a bl world and makes it his mission to avoid falling into a romantic plot line by all means. It’s funny and simple and does a great job of highlighting the ridiculous nature of some of the most prevalent bl tropes.
6. Kieta Hatsukoi- japanese bl, cutesy high school concept ft shenanigans and queer realisations. I was actually really hyping this up when it started airing but then Bad Buddy and Not Me started and it got lost in the excitement of those two. Still, it’s a really cute and wholesome show and I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you like fluff.
7. To My Star- korean bl, celebrity au AND they were roommates! This one was super fluffy and wholesome too and there’s gonna be a s2 with (allegedly) lots of domestic fluff. Definitely recommend watching s1 before s2 comes around.
8. Cherry Magic- japanese bl, finally something with grown ups T_T and! There’s really good aroace rep! This is one of those shows that I don’t really obsess over much but if you ask me for a list of my faves it’ll be there at the top without a doubt. Definitely my favourite japanese show so far.
Annnd that’s all I can think of atm. What are some of you guys’ fave BLs? Or just Asian dramas in general? Also I kinda wanna do a non bl thai show rec now too, should I?

hii yura, i've been reading kieta hatsukoi and bloom into you recently and because you sometimes post manga stuff that looks interesting i wanted to ask if you could recommend some other lovely stories? :) also no pressure to answer this <3
oh yes i can definitely do that !! ill try and separate them by genres <3
romance :
sasaki to miyano - a school life romance between 2 boys, miyano who is obsessed with all things bl and sasaki who is 1 year older then miyano and is absolutely smitten by him,, they basically become friends and miyano ends up lending a ton of bl manga to sasaki and their entire relationship is miyano babbling on about whatever new bl he read and sasaki just being . heart eyes af :’) also it’s important to know that the author said they don’t regard this manga itself as a bl, it’s just a romance that happens to be between 2 boys,, you’ll understand why as u read it but dkdhdkdj it’s so adorable and cute and pretty and also has a fun cast !!!! ( also getting an anime in 2022) but i think the best part of this manga is miyano’s self discovery and him thinking about his own relationship w his interest in bl, it’s super super interesting …
run away with me girl - this is basically a romance about a girl called maki, she’s a phd student who has no idea what she wants to do w life and is enduring her nagging mother constantly telling her to get married, and then comes in her first love from her student days misaki !!! the dreamy and free misaki who always had both of them running off somewhere to go on adventures, only she’s now pregnant and apparently getting married soon? this is a story about a girl who wants to run away from the world and her lover who will hold her hand and take her all across the universe if that’s what she wants … the art is so so so spectacular you must must MUST read this, it takes u away into a whole other world ….
i hear the sunspot - this manga centres around taichi, a financially struggling student who’s constantly looking for part time work because he keeps getting fired for his fiery loud personality, and kouhei, another student who has a hearing disability. the way it shows the 2 of them falling in love so slowly but surely just feels so real ??? and believable ?? and it also talks so much on what having that disability entails and how it affects how u treat the world and how the world treats you in turn, it’s a very very interesting read !!!! also once again the art is … gorgeous
still sick! - this manga takes place in a company where shimizu, competent member of staff who is looked up to by all her juniors, has a secret hobby of being into gl manga,, and she ends up getting discovered by maekawa, her coworker.. maekawa ends up wiggling her way into shimizu’s life and they both have the cutest and chaotic relationship and they both have the most Beautiful impact on each others life, growth and self discovery ?? it’s a story about finding your way in life you could say, w load of comedy and romance <333
kieta hatsukoi - a school life story that revolves around aoki and his 3 friends !!! aoki basically has a crush on hashimoto (the girl who sits next to him) and finds out that She has a crush on iida, and then (yes there’s more djskdhdk) iida somehow misinterprets and finds out that aoki has a crush on iida himself 😭 now this might sound like a super tiring storyline but it’s the most beautiful love triangle ( if you can call it that even) i’ve ever seen and i enjoyed every single page of it, all the characters are SO endearing and the friendships are so wholesome and the comedy and art style is amazing … overall good vibes and will make u smile sm just please please trust me on this one chsndjxksm it’s so good ….
fantasy :
witch hat atelier - tbh i don’t know how to describe this story in a way that can encompass completely everything it is about, but it’s probably one of the, if not the, best story i’ve ever read :))) it takes place in a world where magic exists, magic that can be accessed through the art of drawing ! coco, due to unfortunate accidents, ends up becoming a magic apprentice of a man named qifrey along with 3 other girls and it’s a story that revolves around … learning, the morals and ethics of magic, what kind of magic is evil and what kind is good? it had lowkey made me cry on certain parts, not because of sadness but it just … made me think in a way i have never before?? it told me things i never knew i wanted to be told and yeah it jdhzkxjxjz also it has the most ENDEARING cast and i love them all and their dynamic together, not to mention the art ??? THE ART !!!! look it up because hdjdkxjsks BREATHTAKING …. it’s a story that has children characters and treats them exactly how children are meant to be treated :’) it will make u very nostalgic of ur childhood hxksndk
jujutsu kaisen - ok we’ve all heard of this one but ima put it in anyways bec imo the manga is suuuch an amazing read and it’s defo worth it even if you’ve seen the anime :’) gege’s sketchy art style is amazing and all the fight scenes are so cool and the way the story weaves together is just *chefs kiss* also has some very amazing and heartbreaking character arcs !!!!!
chainsaw man - i honestly don’t know what to say about this at all …. as in …. you should read it 100% but there is no way i could ever describe this manga other than, please read this in its entirety with no context i swear to god it’s a … uh…. experience 😭😭😭😭😭 but yeah in general it’s an action/fantasy manga and has some very complex storytelling !! :)
