So uhm I really hope you don't mind me asking but I was wondering if maybe there's BL(s) you could recommend? So far I've watched very few and I'd love to discover more like Bad Buddy, with fleshed out characters and cute shenanigans and amazing chemistry. Do you know any like that? <': (oh and just for the record I'm already watching Vice Versa heheheh)
hi ! i don’t mind at all, i definitely would want to find more shows that make me feel like bad buddy too 💗 i had several shows that came to mind with what you’re looking for, but they all don’t necessarily fit within all three categories at once so i hope that’s ok ! these are my personal recommendations and what i think could fit into some of the categories. going to provide a link to each show’s mydramalist page because i’m terrible at providing coherent summaries.
for more fleshed out characters and chemistry focused shows i personally like:
A Tale of Thousand Stars (also directed/written by P’Aof who directed Bad Buddy as well as other good works. this was one of the first bls i really fell in love with because of the emotional story, the fleshed out characters, chemistry and love, the growth and journey of the main character, and the journey of finding love, home, and belonging in people)
I Told Sunset About You (a coming of age story with beautiful scenes and great characters)
for shows that have more cute shenanigans:
Light On Me (an easy watch about first love and friendships in high school)
Kieta Hatsukoi (also set in high school, a funny and fluffy show about discovering feelings/sexuality through crushes, and it has such amazing and sweet characters and friendships. note: i haven’t fully finished this show yet but i still would recommend it because i enjoyed what i’ve watched overall)
for shows with fleshed out characters and chemistry that have more cute shenanigans, but the protagonists are adults:
To My Star (an actor and a chef with very different personalities have to become roommates [oh my god they were roommates] and the characters and their relationship are just so lovely. note: for the specific things you’re looking for in a bl, i recommend s1 of this show but i have yet to watch s2 but i know the second season is more emotional angst driven and does not focus so much on cute shenanigans but i’m still excited to watch it)
Cherry Magic (i think this show encompasses all three categories very well, especially cute shenanigans. it has really amazing main characters and side characters with a care about friendships as well. it is an office romance with a supernatural element of the main character being able to hear the thoughts of people through touch)
and those are some of my personal recommendations ! if you watch any of them i hope you like them and i hope some fit into what you are looking for. my messages are open if you want to talk more about any of them or other recs 💗
