My Top 10 Most Anticipated 2022 B.L. Dramas:
So 2022 has been a great year for BLs so far and there are so many more to come, so these are the ones Iโm most excited for!
Two boys troubled by love meet whilst travelling and start to fall for each other. Iโve been a big fan of Best since LBC and his real life friendship with Chahub translates to incredible onscreen chemistry. A special episode has already been released and it wasnโt incredible, but their chemistry and the poster they recently posted are so beautiful, that Check Out had to be on this list. (12 episodes)
A man dreams of opening a restaurant on the beach, whilst trying to achieve his dream he meets a failed musician. After 2 years Han Gi Chan is going to be in another B.L. (WYEL is still one of my favourites) - and heโs starring alongside Holland (the 1st openly gay idol) - so Iโm very excited! Not much else is known, but itโs coming and the location looks gorgeous!
8. Middlemanโs Love/Bed Friend (thai)
Yesโฆthis is 2 series, but they feature the same characters. Middlemanโs Love: an average looking man (Jade) catches the eye of a handsome new intern. Bed Friend: Jades 2 best friends, donโt like each other but have a connection. Mii2 have a new drama! I love them, but the enemies to lovers story of Bed Friend is the one Iโm most excited for. These are also from the same production company as Cutie Pie which Iโm really liking.
7. Summerdaze The Series (singapore)
A star actor gets in trouble for making a homophobic comment, to repair his image his management cast him in a B.L, his costar is an aspiring actor and the 2 fall in love during shooting. This plot sounds like my thing AND this is Singapores first ever B.L! Thereโs a stunning short film and trailer made for this project, they didnโt meet their crowdfunding goal, but theyโre filming anyway - itโs hard to find updates, but this is a big deal!
6. Never Let Me Go (thai)
A boys mafia boss father is m*rdered and a boy his age is brought in to protect him. Bodyguard B.Ls are the trend atm and I couldnโt be happier. This looks so dark and gritty, but also so beautiful. The director has revealed this is based on 90s thai melodrama lakorns and in those series the leads tend to die, which is why I canโt put this further up my list!
Siwon worked so hard most of his life to be perfect and handsome, in college he meets someone who naturally seems perfect. This is by my queen, the director of To My Star and WYEL! I love the plot and the trailers are unbelievably adorable, it looks like it carries a lovely message and itโs by my fave KBL directorโฆI just wish it was going to be longer! (11 episodes)
4. Love In Spring (korea)
A struggling nobleman saves a woman one day, but things are not as they seem when the woman he saved is revealed to be a man. Iโve been wanting a really good historical B.L. for a while now and Iโm hoping this is it! Iโm also a big fan of gender-bend dramas and it stars a big time idol who Iโve seen in a couple dramas and heโs always one of the highlights! Also the gender-bend is so convincing, look at him! (16 episodes)
Two very different boys are competing to become student president, but whilst competing it seems there may be more attraction than animosity. This is from the director of all my favourite HiStory series. Itโs also the first time that a Taiwanese B.L. novel will be adapted into a series! Iโm so excited for this, itโs hard to find any updates online but itโs been shot!
2. I Feel You Linger In The Air (thai)
An architect is heartbroken when his boyfriend reveals he has a fiancรฉe, he gets into an accident and is transported back in time to the 1930s. Iโm really looking forward to this. Itโs starring Non whoโs been my thai drama crush for years and this is his first B.L! I also love a time travelling plot. Itโs from the director of TharnType and Lovely Writer, his last project wasnโt as well received but I hope thisโll be a return to form!
This is what inspired me to make this list! We all know what itโs about, but incase you donโt, this is the story of a bartender who becomes a bodyguard for a mafia family. I couldnโt be more excited, the trailer, the music, the cast - it all looks incredible! The struggle itโs been to watch this series get made, but now itโs 10 days away and those 10 days feel way too long! (14 episodes)
There are so many other series Iโm excited for. I only wanted to include one gmmtv series, so there was more of a variety, but coming this year Vice Versa, Eclipse and Moonlight Chicken all look amazing from them! Thereโs also so many KBLs being announced, but not much is known about them. And Iโm so excited for To My Star 2, but I didnโt put that on here because itโs a season 2. And thereโs the full series version of Love Mechanics too! What is everyone else excited for?
