I'm watching Blueming and it got me curious about BL shows that are about actors or set in the film/television industry. So far I've seen Blueming, War of Y, Lovely Writer, Vice Versa, I Promised You the Moon (& I Told Sunset About You, peripherally) and Utsukushii Kare/My Beautiful Man.
Do you have a list of these somewhere? Apologies if you've already posted one, I searched your blog and couldn't find anything.
Thanks!
I don't have a list of this, so I'll post here an hope others will add, I'm sure I'm missing some. And you basically started one for me.

There are also quite a few play within a play (or film within a film), like Nitiman or My Love Mix Up or HIStory 2: Right or Wrong, but as the characters are usually dragged into this and don’t identify as actors I didn’t include them. I dithered over Love Sick, music club centered, and ended up leaving it off the lists.
This is opposed to actual idols who star in BLs, that list is here.
