I'm a bit lost on what to watch right now, but I have this huge gaping hole in my chest that needs to be filled with some good BLs. I absolutely adore Old Fashioned Cupcake, To My Star, We Best Love (the drunk confession scene had me reeling). I'm not a huge fan of Thai BLs, because of the way it's shot and the humour, but I did really enjoy Not Me, 1000 stars and Bad Buddy. Do you have any recs?
Prestige BL to watch RIGHT now
You said you absolutely adore:
Old Fashioned Cupcake
To My Star
We Best Love
And are not a huge fan of Thai BLs but enjoyed:
Not Me
1000 Stars
Bad Buddy
This leads me to conclude you like "prestige BL".
My Recs for Prestige BL:
Our Dating Sim, Korea Viki - might be a bit soft for you, but truly great
Our Dining Table, Japan Gaga - soft and a little slow but quality
Blueming, Korea Viki
The Eighth Sense, Korea Viki - this one, THIS ONE, this one you will LOVE, go watch it RIGHT NOW, thank me later
The New Employee, Korea Viki
Unintentional Love Story, Korea iQIYI
Roommates of Poongduck 304, Korea Viki
Tokyo in April Is..., Japan Gaga
About Youth, Taiwan Gaga - you don't list any high school stuff but this is BL so I had to include one
DNA Says Love You, Taiwan Gaga - really, trust me, make it through the first 3 eps, it's worth it
My Tooth Your Love, Taiwan Viki - the premise seems odd but it's very endearing and quite complex
A First Love Story, Korea YT - this is a Strongberry short but if you haven't seen it it's very much your style
Older stuff that May Be Your Style
Addicted: Heroin, China Viki (If you haven't seen this, it's and early BL that kinda paved the way to the style you like, so worth watching for that reason alone)
Life: Love on the Line, Japan Viki (go for the director's cut)
Restart After Come Back Home, Japan Gaga? Viki? (not sure who has this one but I think you'd enjoy it)
Long Time No See, Korea Gaga? (Strongburry's first longer offering and it's wonderful, well worth tracking down)
Where Your Eyes Linger, Korea Viki
Like In The Movies, Pinoy YT
Airing right now, Sept 2023
Might be right for you and would allow you to join in the chatter here on Tumblr
Kisseki: Dear to Me, Gaga (Taiwan, mafia, so far very good but just started)
Dangerous Romance, YT (Thai but two of GMMTV's best actors)
I Feel You Linger in the Air (historical, it's really great, Thai, hard to find in USA)
Only Friends, YT (not quite BL, very queer messy gays, Thailand's answer to Queer as Folk)
If you are willing to try some Thai BLs I suggest:
Moonlight Chicken (review here)
He's Coming to Me
The Eclipse
And if those work you could try more from this list:
I've just started watching Thai BLs and I don't know which ones would be worth getting thru the bad acting. Could you please recommend me so
Hope this gives a few things you haven't watched yet!
