You are now the Moon, that gets to pair with stars in the sky! - But I think in the sky, there are not only the moon and stars. - What else is there? - It's a secret. Pathapi means earth. Tawan means the sun. How could earth survive without the light of the sun, right? ↳ 3/?
Our Skyy Arthit-Kongpob || The Ex-Morning Ep.2 ↳ 6/?
A, I don't know if you've done this before, and I'm sure it's probably a really short list, but I'm looking for bls with established couples ( second seasons count, like my beautiful man) or that has some focus on the couple building their relationship.
Thank you so much for all your incredible lists and insights!!
Sure...
BLs featuring established couples (LTR)
Focused on building that relationship.
Second seasons count.
Side couples do not count (the list would be too long).
Reunion romances also off the table (I consider that a different trope from LTR, so no WBL2).
Specials out of Thailand do not count (like recent My Stubborn special).
Some unique BLs that are entirely Long Term Relationships
What Did You Eat Yesterday AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta?
Japan 2021-2023 Gaga
There are 4 installments in this charming series (2 series, 1 special, 1 movie) about a lawyer who lives with his hairdresser boyfriend, and cooks for him. This is closest to the kind of thing I think you're looking for.
Why do we have to hide it
Japan 2024 YouTube
CUTEST little JBL short. No idea its real title. About 2 students secretly dating trying to decide to come out. It's popular guy + nerd, and the nerd is the top!
Papa and Daddy 1 & 2
Taiwan 2021 -2022 Gaga
One of the actors switches between seasons. But essentially it is a long form soapy exploration of husbands raising a family and dealing with their own issues.
Oishii rikon todokemasu
aka Delivering a Delicious Divorce
Japan 2025
A brilliant lawyer, renowned for winning huge divorce settlements, teams up with his boyfriend, a sharp-witted private detective, to tackle high-stakes cases of “love gone wrong” in this legal drama. I wouldn't say there is a focus on building the relationship tho, at least not so far. (currently airing)
My Universe: Marry Go Round
Thailand 2023 iQIYI
Features the pair from Destiny Seeker (we likey) who want to marry each other, but end up fake engaged to the same woman in a beard squared situation. The premise of this dumb. The pair is good. They still kiss great. The actors are good. Crap story. What can you do?
More than One Sequel
Ossen's Love - has multiple follow up seasons to the Japanese original, as well as a Thai remake.
Takumi-kun - has multiple follow up seasons, this franchise does not believe in character or relationship development of any kind
The Pornographer - has multiple seasons, I don't know, maybe things progress, maybe the point is that they don't, it's Japan and trying to be arty and existential - exhausting stuff
Our Skyy and Our Skyy 2 - all of them are LTR second seasons, minis, some may satisfy the brief.
Season 2 BLs that DO build the LTR
At 25:00 in Akasaka Season 2 (Japan 2025 Gaga) - I think this will satisfy but it hasn't yet finished its run.
My Beautiful Man 2 aka Utsukushii Kare Season 2 (Japan 2023 Viki & Gaga)
Season 2s that do NOT build the LTR
Either they continue the "will they won't they" drama of Season 1, or they split the couple apart.
Love Sick 2 (Thailand 2015 YouTube)
Make it Right 2 (Thailand 2017 YouTube) - although Make it Right on the Beach might qualify.
Dark Blue Kiss (Thailand 2019) - I mean maybe a little?
TharnType 2: Seven Years of Love (Thailand 2020 Viki) - insert big sigh and early trash watch from me
Irresistible Love 2 aka Uncontrolled Love (China 2016)
To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories (Korea 2022 Viki) - this show is a home wrecking hussy, but super classy about it.
Minato's Laundromat Season 2 aka Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2 (Japan 2023 Gaga)
Pit Babe The Series 2 (Thailand 2025 iQIYI)
Love Area: Part 2 (Thailand 2022 Gaga)
The Shortest Distance is Round 2: Rain and Soda aka Saitankyori wa Mawari Kudokute: Ame to Soda Mizu (Japan 2020 Gaga) - this is the darkest BL I’ve ever seen, it’s so dark it pushes into absurdist
SOTUS S (Thailand 2017 YouTube)
My Bromance 2: 5 Years Later (Thailand 2021 grey)
Like Love 2 aka Nobody Knows But Me (China 2015 grey)
Still 2gether (Thailand 2020 YouTube)
BLs I didn't watch so...
I Became the Lead in a BL Drama 2 aka Zoku BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita (Japan 2025 Gaga)
Stormy Honeymoon - Vietnam 2023 YouTube
Gameboys 2 (The Philippines 2022 YouTube)
Let's Eat Together Aki and Haru 2 aka Aki wa Haru to Gohan wo Tabetai 2 Haime! (Japan 2024 Gaga)
Mr Cinderella 2 (Vietnam 2023 YouTube)
The Reason Why He Fell In Love With Me 2 aka Kare ga Boku ni Koishita Wake 2 (Japan 2021 Gaga)
Okay that's what I got, I mean I am sure I am missing some...
Here's an old post I have on why I don't like second seasons in BL, which I think is still holding true just glancing over this list.
Your favorite BL is getting a second season! Should you be scared or excited? Let's look at data. Are they generally worse than the first?
our skyy 2 homecoming 🎉
“I like [the sea]. But there was a moment that I was so scared of it. (...) I should not have told you to cool your head in the sea.”
“But you were looking at me the whole time—so you thought I was drowning. (...) I like [the sea]. It let me know someone cares about me.”

Weekly drama update
Starting off strong with the shows I am currently watching:
My Golden Blood: So glad Mark could restrain himself, they definitely missed the opportunity to have Nakan lick the knife.
Breakup Service: My first non-bl Thai show, so far it does not disappoint. The golden retriever energy while also hating himself for being so is amazing.
Sweet Tooth, Good Doctor: Oof I could have done without the "you reject me so I reject you" thing. The man is doing mental gymnastics on if he likes you or not, don't make it worse.
Business as Usual: OML WHEN WILL Y'ALL STOP WITH THE MISCOMMUNICATION TROPE
Heesu in Class 2: Listen, this has been the sweetest non-toxic Korean BL I've watched. I do not want it to end this weekend. I'd like four more episodes, if not more. If I can't get that, then PLEASE end on a good note.
4 week love: Ya know, I've been up to date with this show, and I've loved how short the episodes have been: until this week. WHY? WHY? I want longer episodes. I want more of Do Jun panicking.
Crushology 101: Ya know, when I saw Kim Hyun-jin I knew, I knew there was something hella fishy with that man. I love him, loved him in My Sweet Mobster, but something was off. Then the two working together to save her, more please.
My Stubborn: If y'all didn't see my reaction post: dear god what a start. I wonder if it will be like the Heart Killers with a high start, small drop and plateau with the spice. Even if it does its on another level of spicy content I cannot wait for my eyes to devour.
Boys in Love: I also did a reaction post to this, but I cannot wait to see if Kim turns into a mini Faifa. I need the green flag boyfriend again.
Shows I finished this week:
Our skyy: Wasn't a huge fan.
Blossom Campus: Cute, short, Kdrama bl
Your Sky for us: I want more. I understand the special just finished, it is still not enough. Also you cannot tell me that P'Thomas' house doesn't look the same in real life, if not a little less fancy. The choo choo also sent me
Star in My Mind: If The Heart Killers didn't make me love Joong, Star in my mind sure did.
The Heart Killers: Second rewatch and it was JUST AS GOOD as the first time. It will be in my comfort show arsenal from now on.
Our skyy 2: SO much better than the first, maybe because my comfort actors are in it? So cute to see the little shorts of my favorite characters.
Shows I plan to start this week or have slightly already started:
Top Form
FourEver You
Love Mechanics
Monster Next Door.
As a bonus: My reaction to the following
(Do Jun's inner thoughts) Liking him is one thing, dating is another. I'm going to initiate this kiss, but it doesn't mean anything. My Brother in BL please just accept it. You do like him, you are dating him, the man feeds and takes care of you while you are sick. GIVE IN.
