What are your top 5 (or however many) "if you haven't watched this yet go watch it right the fuck now" bls? I've watched a couple of kind of terrible ones and a couple of amazing ones, choices made mostly by accident. But now that I'm reading about what's out there, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the options and I have no idea where to start.

And right now I'm sick as a dog with the perfect opportunity to binge whatever somebody tells me to. Pls?

Well my taste may certainly not be yours, but here's the current list:

I'll repost it for you.

There's some more top ten lists included for reference in case you are looking for themes (like Cozy BLs).

Hope there are new ones in there for you, and I hope you like them. At the very least you'll learn if we have similar taste and I'm to be trusted as a recommender.

Is this one of the best lover clap back in BL history ? YES.

Am I still enraged at these short ass torturing episodes ? YES. I love you but you are not forgiven Kiseki.

I still can't get over the fact that one of the MLs of the BL series went through his entire journey of discovering and accepting his sexuality WITHOUT HIS LOVE INTEREST. Pisaeng went through everything alone: from sneaking glancens at guys kissing, "accidentally" walking past a gay bar, through panic, looking for help from someone in the community, to ease and freedom. And all this was done with sensitivity, respect, tenderness towards Pisaeng AND the community. There are many things I love about Be My Favorite, and one of them is that it's not all about romance, that the main couple is going their way, maturing, independently of each other. Like, they fight with each other, then they go through some kind of development and when they see each other next time, they are already different, ready to face their problems. And tbh, that makes their romance all the more valuable and appealing to me.

Top 10 BLS Featuring Grown Up Characters

Here are some of my favorite BLs that feature mature characters with adult problems. Of course the definition of “mature” is pretty culturally specific but I did my best.

1. Old Fashion Cupcake

Japan, Viki & GaGa

This show had me from the moment they broke the egg yolk with the chopsticks in the opening credits for episode one. It’s about a younger man with a long cherished crush on his boss (ten years older and going through a mid life crisis) who decides to save and seduce said man with pancakes. It’s wholesome, comforting, sexy, and a very necessary narrative about still having hope, interests, and openness to affection at any age. It’s coming of age/queerness packaged in a subtle critique of expectations around masculinity and love and loneliness... and it’s beautiful. Full review here.

2. To My Star (movie)

Korea, Viki

It’s is a touch quirky to get into, but utterly charming once it hits its stride. This is the ultimate grumpy/sunshine pairing plus the most appealing light-filled kitchen of our dreams. Full review here.

3. My Ride

Thailand, GaGa

Thai BL grew up with this pulp - a truly lovely and special little show featuring the extremely rare pairing of sunshine/sunshine AKA a cinnamon roll couple. Mature explorations of relationships using one of the softest, sweetest and most innocent friends to lovers vehicles. Kindly, overworked doctor meets broken-hearted motorcycle taxi driver in an “other side of the tracks” slow burn romance. The support cast is excellent, making for great friendship groups and family dynamics. With honest queer rep that adds to, but doesn’t impede the story, and genuine conversation about the nature of class, wealth, and classism, not to mention communication, honesty, and respect for boundaries, you can’t go wrong with this show. In other news, I am a sucker for a single dimple. Full review here.

4. Be Loved In House: I Do

Taiwan, Viki

Cute classy office set BL with a few plot raised eyebrows, but no other concerns, plus ALL THE TROPES and a general sweet softness that’s pretty rare from Taiwan, who usually prefer to go hard. Full review here.

5. Mr Cinderella

AKA Chàng Lọ Lem - Vietnam, YT

Higher production values and experienced BL actors plus two charismatic smoldering leads with good kissing and comfortable body language makes this Vietnam’s objectively best BL to date. But it’s Vietnam, so for me the characters aren’t exactly mature. Full review here.

6. Like In The Movies

AKA Gaya Sa Pelikula - Pinoy, YT

Karl runs short of funds and ends up becoming housemates with Vald an out and proud chaos gay. This leads Karl into an identity crisis and journey of self discovery. This kind of forced proximity trope is really common in BL, but what Gaya does is handle it in a messy honestly queer way. It includes Vlad’s attitude in response to Karl’s shaken behavior, and the frustration many out queers feel in this exact situation.

7. Cherry Magic

AKA 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard AKA 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii - Japan, Crunchyroll & Indie Subbed

The sweetest fluffiest magical realism BL, packaged as a pinning office romance, very low heat (practically chaste) but the cutest. Of all the ones on this list is dithered a bit over this one, oh it's great but it is a bit slapstic and camp and I wouldn't necessarily call the relationships grown up. A couple of the characters are pretty immature. Full review here.

8. A Tale of Thousand Stars

Thailand, YT

With great casting and cinematography this drama nods at BL tropes but manages to elevate them (and itself) with a strong mature story concept about a spoiled rich kid who gets a heart transplant and becomes a teacher it order to pay out survivor’s guilt. On the way he falls in love with a local park ranger and contends with his own classism and escapist tendencies. Everyone seemed to perfectly suit their roles and GMMTV made the most out of its stable. Combined with excellent production (and post production) values, 1000 Stars is without question GMMTV’s most mature, charming, and smart BL series. I think it should go down as one of the top BLs of all time. I feel safe recommending this one to friends and non BL watchers.

9. Wish You: Your Melody in My Heart (movie)

Korea, Netflix

Set in the music industry featuring a talented singer and the pianist who falls in love with him (and his music), subtle and achingly adorable.

10. Oh! Boarding House

Korea, Viki

Spoiled rich kid in financial straights has to manage a boarding house full of quirky characters including: bratty cousin, wacko writer, adorable bestie with a crush, and the new hot jock (love interest). All in all, this show ended up being A LOT better than I expected. It was uneven in its attempt to reconcile early sitcom style with a serious love triangle and genuine romance but the quality of the performances and the kind and honest treatment of the characters make it definitely worth watching (you just need to get through the first few eps while it finds its legs). Full review here.

MORE FROM JAPAN

Restart After Come Back Home AKA Risutato wa tadaima no ato de - grey

There’s actually quite a bit of Japanese office set stuff, I just don’t like most of it.

Honorable Mention

Love is Science? - Taiwan, Viki

Mark and Ouwen have got to be one of my all time favorite side couples. LIS? is a noona romance with added mature het couple as well as these two, mostly interwoven. So that's a big buy in for just side BL, but this is Taiwan so everything is a touch quirky and the BL boys are beautiful, earnest, and high heat. They rep for one of Taiwan's favorite dynamics: the bisexual himbo + the confident gay, but these two are just LOVELY, plus tiny queer family!

Word of Honor - Chinese bromance Viki & YouTube

I don’t rec Chinese stuff often, because I believe in censoring the censors, but this show is one of my favorite of the post 2016 censored bromances. It’s two murderY assassins, and they are so effing gay for two boys who will never be allowed to kiss.

What Zabb Man! - Thailand, YouTube

WZM was better than we have any right to expect with decent pacing and a foodie theme threaded through the narrative as both love language and plot driver. Basically CEO falls in love with a street vendor’s food, recruits him to work in his hotel, falls in love with him, and that’s the beginning. Class struggles! Kitchen drama! Papaya pounding (not a euphemism)! Chef poaching (not literally)! Spicy scenes (yes literally)! It’s all so delicious. Full review here.

Some More - Korea, GaGa

One of my favorite of Korean queer house Strongberry’s shorts, one character is kinda in college (but it’s not important). It’s worth every second of your time.

Oh, the pain of this scene and the reality behind it, the difference between boyfriend and husband, between sharing a life together and being able to legally bind yourselves together. The agony of knowing that you are literally everything he has and that it is not enough to let you help him.

This is why we need legalized marriage for everyone, this is why the legalities matter, this is why we fight for what we can because it matters in the end, it matters so, so much.

Piseang can do nothing because there is nothing legally tying them together and there is nothing to do. He cannot fight this. He cannot love Kawi enough to overcome this.

Love is not enough. Love does not give him the rights he does not have, does not cut through red tape, does not open doors. Love may light his life and love may be beautiful and love may move mountains but love cannot make the choices he needs to make.

Love cannot make a medical decision or give him permission to stay with Kawi. Love cannot open the doors or let him sign the paperwork. Love cannot do anything. Love is not enough. The freedom to love is not enough.

We all know Ai Di secretly LOVED that pillow and if things were different he would not let go of it EVER! 😤💖

...

It's been quite long since I've updated any own art again and with a lot of BS going on irl right now it's still incredibly hard to draw...😞

BUT! Since I started watching Kiseki: Dear to me, I've been obsessed with Ai Di 😍😍 and the pillow-scene of the latest episode lives rent free in my head...🤪 So I just had to get this out, even if it's just a quick colored sketch 💁✨

I would just like to point out the noticeable lack of fan service coming from La Pluie and Be My Favorite (in addition to Step by Step).
