My favourite non-Thai BL actors
As most of the BL series I have watched are Thai, I created a list of my favourite Thai BL actors. There are, however, many BL actors I like from other countries, especially the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and China. As I haven't watched many series from the latter two, South Kotrea and China may be underrepresented in this list.

Absolutely brilliant in full movies like "Kalel,15", "He who is without sin" and "About us but not about us", short films like "Tony" and "Ang Nagliliyab na Kasaysayan ng Pamilya Dela Cruz", also amazing in one of the most beautiful BL-series, "Gameboys" and its sequel, "Gameboys 2", and as a drug addict, bully, and bad boy in "Senior High".

Mashiko Atsuki
Japoneză
The way he plays the weatherman's servile boyfriend is among the best acting in any Japenese Bl series, comparable to Hagiwara Riku in "Utsukushii Kare".
-
Higuchi Kouhei
Japoneză
"My Personal Weatherman" gave me serious "Utsukushii Kare" feelings, and the weatherman's amazing acting is one of the reasons.

Jason Tauh

The hottest guy in "Red Balloon" and "Papa and Daddy Season 2", again amazing in "History 5". How can anyone resist these beautiful eyes?

Lin Chia Wei
Taiwan
The shy and at the same time brave and determined way he gives to his character of Fu Yong Ji in H4 Close to you proves a great acting skill. And - although everybody else seems to hate him (because people can't tell the actor from the character he plays) - I loved to see him again in H5!
-
Choi Jae Hyun
Sud corean
Heartbreaking, breathtaking, mindblowing in "Peach of Time". Watched it for Jimmy and Tommy, and fell in love with him.

Kaleb Ong
Filipineză
Most talented Pinoy actor, deserves an actor's award for his performance in "Meet my Angel" and the short film "Lihim".

Paolo Pangilinan
Filipineză
The way he displays the fears and doubts of a young man to come out publicly consoles everyone who has been in that situation. Great actor and fighter for LGBTQ+ rights.

Great actor. Made the weak series "Twinkle Twinkie Little Star" watchable, and shone again in "Osmosis".

Erek Lin

One of the most skilled actors. His performance as Amber in "DNA says love you" was simply amazing. A second of his facial expression can tell a whole story.

Wilson Liu

For me, the undisputed star of MODC, the highlight of "H4 Close to you", and kind of a BL elder statesman in "About Youth"
