BL MASTERLIST

Really enjoyed this one.

A really deep love with lots of scars since it started when they were kids.
The story is sad and deep but alsol beautiful and full of love.

They are so cute and in love...

In no way this is tropes free, but has an unexpected charm. Specially fun and enjoyable if you are into over the top comical nonsense. There's no much deep into it other than the acceptance of the families but it doesn't need more, it doesn't pretend to be an emotional wrenching drama, just what it is, fun.
I die with the musical moments, two characters are talking about something and it becomes a musical scene all of the sudden, with two not so good singers signing a definitely not so good song. The alone ones are truly a sight as well, amusingly bad and hilarious.

Now to the 3 bl couples.
The main, Ig & Ruk is probably my least favorite. Is a bit messy, you want to punch Ig on the head and make him understand the situations he is in during the first half. They are cute together and i like that both are masculine just in diferent sizes. I like when they get out of the stereotypes and don't pretend to make all the couples have masc/fem type of roles.
The 2 couple is my sweet spot. Kui is the handsome goalkeeper that goes on vacations with his friends and finds an unexpected love. I like how it wasn't dragged, he never liked a guy but meet the sweetest watermelon sunshine and just felt head over heels. He felt it, was honest from the get go and went for it directly. They are the sweetest couple.
The countryside couple, Ruk older brother with the cute famous singer is beautiful. They put the little deepness that this series has. Their love is strong and consolidated already, an steady couple.

I would say go for this one if you liked the comedy in Fish upon the sky, imagine that (specially the brother of the protagonist kind of humor) on a lower budget and production quality, mixed with bl loves from the past like Make it right. Take it to the countryside and you get Siew Sum Noi. An enjoyable turn off your brain watch.

OMFG This is some weird, hard to watch type of movie, i have seen a handful of this japanese ones and still felt uncomfortable.

As usual they are awfully bad directed and plenty of things make 0 sense, but they for sure make you open your eyes as wide as possible and make you go through it.

Violence, rapists, deads... with adults and kids, and after all of that, love for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, then more of the first part. 

Not a happy ending for them, but at least one stays alive and the major rapist is dead. At least is something.

Some weird stuff.

A good short movie about finding love unexpectedly. Is never too late.

The story is well constructed and told and has flavor.

This was a good series, full of life lesons and funny enough considering the main plot, realism when it comes to writting a consistent story and characters.

There were some points that felt unnecesary, draged or irrelevant, like a waste of time, and i wished to see more pivotal scenes where their fellings were growing and their love was getting warmer that somewhat felt missed during a few mid episodes. 

Other than that, i have only good words about it. Everyone was human (even the ghosts), they felt like people, complex, not traped on a stereotyped fake box, with flaws, fears... The story wasn't a chiché as well, and most of the actors were top level and i was able to simpatize, care for the characters and understand them.

Their ending is brilliant, couldn't have asked for a most perfect ending to this story, neither could have imagined one.
8.5/10

Sweet and cute movie.

The story is simple and in a way realistic with two very ordinary characters that feel like it could be real people and something natural.
I just wish that people would act more acordinly to how a 30y person would do around love but still, it was good.

The actors did a good job and the casting was great, they also look like ordinary people with their ordinary jobs. The hight diference does it for me.

Did not felt the spark.

I thoguht there were manipulatived people who got awayh with it and even praised for it and the group mentality went with it.

Surprising.

I honestly did not expect to like this series the first episodes, but i got used to the second hand embarrasment and got the vibe, the ridiculousness, the camp, the over the top... and learn to enjoy it.

Putting that over the top comical aproach aside, I liked all the characters, the communication, acceptance, love that actually felt like a real gay couple, unafraid to have phisical contact, friendship, cringe, 2nd hand embarrassment ... everything.
It became a tad too draggy at the end so i could have enjoyed it better if they drop some sub plots and ended it at 12 or even 10 episodes.

Is not for everyone, not memorable or love wrenching... it was nochalant, a fun joke... i didn't felt like i wasted my time.

They are cute together but this is stupid and bad for my sanity.

Way better than her sister series. 

Their story is more realistic, mature and cozy, the scenary of the voluntary on the mountains and reminiscence of A tale of Thousand stars helped a lot to elevate it from ordinary to quite good.

They make a really good couple, comunicate and understand each others well, the acting is ok and they are very cute and fit like a glove.

Simple and sweet.

One more of the bad and mediocre Thai BLs.

Same old story  two cute guyslove for each other but they suck at communicating their feelings
It should be all cute fluff, pure entertainment, feel-good watch but it was boring, felt dragged and is just 8 episodes long.

Has no spark at all.

One of those bl that feel like bromance.

Meh

A bit dissapointing. Had all the ingredients to be a very mature, sexy and interesting story but went downhill.

First being slow and literally nothing happening for 9 episodes and when things happen to start moving they had ridiculous fall outs, baby crying... tedious. At least they are a hottie and a cutie and their chemi was ok.

The worst part is the 2nd couple not being developed. The start was even better than the main and their kiss scene set the bar high, then, stupid miscomunication and one moves to japan, the end. WTF, they had a gold mine and decided to walk away,.

Overall mediocre.

Quality production. One of those good philipino ones.
The acting is really good. A simple covid story that it's a door to discover two really intense and deep emotional thinkers. Love their philosophical coversations.

They need to walk their on way for now to hopefully, meet again when both are on the same page and ready to be together.

Hope them and we will get a second chance later on.

Not terrible as a movie, but so many triggering issues.

The storyline is a bit confusing because the movie starts with them two already having an story behind that it's not completely revealed ever. One wonders what exactly happened between them previous to the movie, we need the exact details of that night at the gay bar.

The teacher handles all this really poorly but the ending scene is the icing of the cake. The student deserves better. 

Run cutie, run.

Not bad. 

A bit of the all over the place stupid unrealistic japanese vibe but if you do a marathon is cute.

A bit of cute and a bit of empty. 

4 minutes are not enough but it was like a sweet comercial.

I don't know wtf i watched, but that bed scene was worth it. DAMN.

Our typical movie from China that ends with "gays cannot be happy, at the end everything will be suffering and never end up together.

Yeah most of them are ok and have some powerful stuff, but why always this movies? is like the early 2000 in Japan, when every gay movie was angst, suffering... the message is a bit problematic.

Not a bad movie still.

Cute if you binge it, boring and getting on your nerves if you don't.

 Cannot they make the ukes and women in japan to act like normal adults? it's weird.

It won't hurt you but remember, all in one go.

The line between cute, fluffy and cringe worthy, frustrating is too blurry here.   

I was getting annoyed by the stereotipical made in Japan cringe fest 60% of the time, 20% thinking that they were somewhat cute and sweet but kids and 20% being bored.

I'm not happy about this bls making me hate my entire gender 99% of the times. Outing your friend out of jealously and trying to impose your corseted beliefs over your child costing his happiness, cool women indeed. I'm not claming them and they are not welcome in my queer household. We have enough with the mainstream girls being constantly men shadows and oversexualized, we don't need this stereotyped evil ones here all the time.
Now after my rant, i liked this short series, a few tropes but cute ones. I think it was well done and i always love me some retro vibes. Also, loved the shirt kind of kinda not confesion, it was cute and emotional. The story overall was a plausible, sweet & sour comming of age.
Hated how both who did wrong end happy without consequences tho, they don't even have to understand their wrongdoings or ask for forgiveness. Hate when this happens, gives the wrong message.
Maybe it was the music plot, the bittersweet ending, the mom arc... It got me back to my first thai bl / queer movie, Love Of Siam. As much as i love happy endings and this type of "we love each others but cannot be together" get my heart broken the most, i still love them in a twisted masochistic way.
I would gladly devour a 2 season with a happy ending, even knowing that usually they are not on pair with 1 seasons, Nadao gave me hope and i am a hopeless romantic when it comes to fiction, specially when it's about my queer fam.

Cute and full of good quotes and leasons, it follows the movie and it's quite on pair with it.

They are still strugling and making decisions, while being  confused and in love. I wish they showed more of the love tho, i  wish we could have more romance in the mix.

Some episodes felt a bit flat but they wrapped it nicely, there's room for future seasons while not being upset if it ends here.

The dealing with an homosexual love in a catholic school was a very good premise to explore and it was perfectly portrayed. 

Hope to see more from Dominic and Luke, and honeslty, from Gio. I got this felling of a mature real love from him. Like, Luke is the first love, they will explore and discover, but Gio is th eultimate, the forever road. But that's just me.  

As Dominic said be brave and free to love, fucking do it. 

Best reality show ever.
Shun, you deserve love and finally have a family.

Nothing much, a boss at work rents a room from his worker. they are silly and bickering but after a while they look at each other and see that both are hot.
Silly misunderstandings, stupid subplots, drunk kiss, they date.
The end.

Boring, repetitive and bland. But yes, they are hot.
Even liked more the vampire thing they did together in the past.

I enjoyed this movie quite a lot. Painfully realistic, with flawed characters that have to deal with a lot of shit and have baggages and personality issues.

Japan has 2 sides, the stupid soujo characters and this flawed humans. When they go for this route, is chef kiss.

Open endind, lots of chemistry and life lessons sprinkled.

This was a mess, with the lowest budget and production you can imagine.
The story doesn't flow and there are very strange non cehesive and out of character turns and plots.

The ending has some cuteness so i'll cut some slack because of that.

It was an emotional roller coaster.

You think it's gonna be a light hearted high school BL but it is way more than that.

All the fantasy i was your lover in another life is not really my cup of tea so this kind of dramas have it harder to make me fall for them.

Overall your basic kbl, not all that chemi but okeish and waiting till the next.

I wasn't too into the storyline. Felt a bit too much, forcing to make it so complicated and secretive.

They are good actors, the main couple sold the show better than the plot. The only thing is that i don't really feel them as couple, but hope to see more projects from them.

I have a soft spot for First and his eyes. just wish his body acted the same way and as intensly as his eyes do. The power that eyes hold...

This has entered my top 10 even with it's flaws.
Just when i thought BL world was dry and empty this masterpiece came to remind me that one never knows when a great one is coming.

Deep, emotional, intense, sincere, realistic, with layers, pitiful humans.

They explore people, real people, people with traumas, with difficulties in life, selfih, loving, afraid, egoistic, selfless, craving love, a place, a person that feels home, with whom you feel safe and can be yourselve.

All we can do is try.

A sweet portrayal of a first love that started as a friendship and both are scared to make the wrong move.  Add the korean enlistment to the mix and you have a great short story.

It reminded me of another korean short bl, Just friends?  But this one was a world of their own only, the former added the mom on the mix.

Really nice Strongberry, as expected.

I'm like... and? 

They shown me the conflict and that's about it. For it to be more impactfull  we do need to relate and connect with the characters, understand why they act the way they do and why they think the way they think, see their love story develop more in detail and we do need to know what's next after setting the conflict. 

I know is a short movie, but if they planned something with deepness you expect deepness, and we just got till the first layer and it wasn't even well portrayed or developed.

Imean, it's totally the Check out pilot premise but less develompent.

Not terrible but dull. It's just 2 episodes and less than an hour so whatever.

It's a cute thought but i didn't enjoy how it unfolds in terms of the romance. They tried to make us all ok with it and you could see it comming, but no.

It throws away the sweetness and it's a bad and quite painful forever for the character that you feel the most. Imagine his ethernity constricted to be there and watch... nightmares.

In terms of slice of life and family, it's good. I also have a mom with the same disease so i can totally relate on that and have compassion for the protagonist, but in terms of how he treated the love department, he was flawled and failed Tofu quite a lot. We can understand, but it's still a fact.

It's cute, simple and well done.
When a series is as short as this one, you don't need crazy plotlines, 20 characters and their development...

They are sweet and realistic, the story makes sense, and the few characters are well done and acted.

I didn't even care about watching the last episode till today, this went so downhill that it has been a pain to watch, specially the second 5 episode part. I always try to finish what i already started, even if going x2 speed and fast forwarding like a mad person. It's finally over, felt like a work tast that you hate to do so you pospone it, i don't think that an entertainment show should feel this tedious. That already explains the story.

A promise not fulfilled, 4/10

From the trailer and the first two episodes my expectations went high and expected a mature, sweet and deep series. I thought it would be emotional, intense and with a CRAZY GREAT AND MEMORABLE PAY OFF. But then, just stupid bickering, now me, now you, sprinkled with more unrealistic miscommunication. From the underwhelming moment they meet again at the lobby, everything went downhill.  Then all the stupid madness, the series being unable to make sense, ridiculous unrealistic adults...

 And the last episode is the nail in the coffin. WFT WITH THE STUPID 2 MINUTES PLANE MISSING!!!! And that "bed scene" was bad, BAD. Bad choreographed, 0 emotions and weird kisses and touches. Imagine after all those years of unfulfilled love... Had me in tears haha.

Good riddance.

This had so much potential. The plot, the actors, the chemistry... top level, unique, adult, fire.

The problem? emptiness, absurdity and bad progress full of nonsense storyline.
Such a shame.

As a series this is a 5 at most, but the couple is a 9.

The actors are great, hot, commited... the kiss scenes are top quality content.
Is a series to binge in a day and fast forward. Not take it seriously and wait for the guys scenes full of chemi.

I am a sucker for the restro vibes, so a drama set in the 2000's is a sweet candy to me. The photography and colors are bomb.
I need a bit more of deepness, longing and love intensity from the couple tho.

What on eath happend after the first 3 to 4 episodes? is just messy, going in circles, lacks the punch that an story like this one should have... I feel that they had a nice idea, story and all, but they don't know how to execute it properly, maintain the momentum and make it explode at the perfect timing, basically they don't know how to narrate and elaborate the story and the continuity of it in order to tug our heartstrings as something lke this should.

Starterd great and ended luckewarm. Still cute, just not a grat series an no way near ITSAY as i anticipated for the trailers and the vibes overall. 

The story consistency and logic is a mess, the characters are a mess, i don't get how they fell in love or for what, but they have great sex sesions so atraction was there. 

A mess with good intentions and a lot of sexy scenes.

In this world , we were only meant to find each other , but not end up together

My super pet peeve of one of the couple acting like a 5yo kid here is on steroids. 

HATED EVERY SECOND OF THE MAIN COUPLE INTERACTIONS.

Empty, less flavor than water.

This was actually well done and cute.

It wasn't easy to mix all this combo and make it work in 8 episodes of 12 minutes or so but they made it work. And on top of that it was beautifull.  

Let's forget that the previous historical k bl bullshit ever existed and go on this path.

Cute and simple.

A bit frustrated with the "misunderstanding" and they definitely could have done way better with the plot.

The actors have quemistry

My favorite korean bl so far.

It was really well done, and the actors were amazing in every sense. Top quality pairing, so charming, so tender, so mature... perfect.

The story was great, not too intense not too subtle. Loved it.

This is just mysery porn, they made one character a jerk and the other a pushover.

Should have ended this  way, with JW realizing that he is a phsyco mess and goes get therapy and SJ getting back on his feet and gets the happiness and confindence on himself back.  Only after working on that, maybe, just maybe, i could see a potential 2 chance. If not, is just bound to happen again and also,  you already broke the cute couple ilusion from season 1.

2 seasons curse hitting hard once again.

Very unorganized, all over the place and disconnected. But has a couple of good things around it. 

I won't recommend but it's somewhat watchable.

The story was a bit fresh for bl,s like mixing the swap + sports + love + bl...  BUT !! 

Loved the first half and now i hate this series with a passion. 

They ruined a promising series, makes no sense what they are doing, characters are stupid thinking they can move forward like they have been doing the last half of this series. Ans then a last episode all rushed and nonsense. 

ABSOLUTELY NONSENSICAL.

I have some issues with the movie and how Momo acts sometimes, but overall this movie is quite groundbreaking. Cross dressing is not often a theme that asian queer movies use and i loved that they did.

And, even if Momo sometimes acts with his d. he also is really sweet, understands the iner needs of  Yashiro and acepts and loves him the way he is, he embraced and helped Yashiro be able to be happy in his own skin. That's already amazing of him. 

The last scenes are really cute too.

Loved the idea and the fact that the characters are more complex that boy likes boy. 

My issue was that they went too far with some plots that were nonsense and it became quite a lot.

The chemistry was nice, could have shown more of that.

Oxin productions makes terrible series haha 

But from all their bad stuff this one is kinda decent if you watch it fast forwarding all the time and just watch a few scenes LOL

The story, acting and characters... everything is good excepting the issue with intimacy. 

The main lead is an idol from my lovely B1A4 and you can see him being awkward with physical contact and kisses. The other lead is so superior that feels like a wasted opportunity.

If this story was made with a tad more love chemi and less worried about the idol image they could have been ironic. A waste.

But yeah, the series is good.

Previous background story to the 2 couple of Unintentional love story.

Thsi is soooo much better. The emotions are high, the acting is intense... the other one was light and not that well portrayhed, this gives a lot of weight and depth.

Good series, interesting plot. Too dragged at times but good pay off.

We saw two young guys that took a different route and way of dealing with being the same by heart, insecure people in need of true love and care. And they found that in each others, but their personalities and ways of dealing with their issues made it hard to be honest about it. As they matured, they knew and luckily were able to bare themselves and secure their true love.

One might like one of their personalities more than the other, or you can see the bad sides of both, but man we can also see the good and the emotions inside of both. That's something that i value from this series, the fact that i got to know and understand both of them and how they act in every moment, see their reasons behind, hear what they say but know the true meanning behind that may be the opposite... That's my standard, my red line. If i got to know and understand the characters, why they look the way they look, say what they say, act the way they act... the series + the actors did a good job, and then if i can see their love, progress and have a well build story that i fancy + deep characters, i'm more than satisfied. 

This is not I told Sunset about you level, but this is a well done series that in short time was able to give me all of those to certain levels each. 8/10.

It's good, but i expected more progress. I gues they want to leave it for the movie.

I like the exploration of the characters as humans. Hira makes me absolutely frustrated and get's till my last nerve, but that's exactly the point and we can really understand and relate to Kikoy and been in love with him... how it would be like.

We really need and probably will see Hira flowrish and understand things better when the movie is releashed, i really really, i mean, really need and hope so. A relationship of worship to your partenr like he is a gob but you feel like the worst piece of trash in not healty or good for either of them.

A baby step in the right direction and an unresolved series.

This nonsense of a mess could have been over with in 4 episodes.

The only good thing is that the intimacy is realistic.

It grew on me. I'm not into body swapping/ paralel world... but this had some charm.

Visually pleasing, the plot got better episode after episode instead of going high for hafd of it and then being redundant, the first episodes were a bit dissapointing and repetitive but half way got the hang of it and elevated it. You never feel like they could have endend it earlier.

The actors had enough chemi to pull it off

A lot of going in circles and unrealistic portrayals but if you watch it in one go skiping here and there you can be satisfied.

The premise, plot and start was really good. It became redundant and at some points absurd.

Overall i enjoyed it but i don't want a second season because i know it would be boring and even more absurd.

The issue is that they left the ending super open so i bet they at least wanna do a special and milk it a bit loger. No more than that please.

This is what you and your friends played during break time at primary school in a nutshel.

1. I hate this cringe fest poorly acted and terrible written with a passion.  2.5/10

2. I hate this cringe fest even more poorly acted and beyond terrible written with a higher level of passion. He licked his feet, jesus.  0.5/10

Just scrolling at this point, how badly they want the bl money? at least work it ffs.

3. I hate this cringe fest even more poorly acted and beyond terrible writte with a high level of passion. . They fucking wipped the floor with the mic stand like if it was a mop. What a ridiculous fest. 1/10

4. At least is the pairing i loved in Y destiny. But here the story is TERRIBLE. Who wrote this f series? Me at 12 would have made a better roleplay. 3.5/10

At this point this is just for softporn kisses.

TALAY IS ONE OF THE WORST ACTORS I HAVE EVER SEEN

 Cannot even bother to write another thought, it only gets me mad.

A bit whatever, miscomunication and going around it intstead of having a sincere 5 min combo.

Average.

The story lack and is a bit absurd, their "issues" could be fixed with 1 combo.

The good thing is that they aren't shy on the gay department and are passionate and realistic.

What a dissapointment. 

The 2 first episodes promised a cute secret love from chilhood, from friends to lovers yet then... they just decided  to stop there and NOTHING HAPPENS!!! 

They don't realize it, don't talk about it... they are just friends and go to uni. 

WTF.

I enjoyed parts of it, mostly. A few strange moments here and there, didn't always make sense.

But I liked the bl couple. They were cute and had chemistry. If only the fake trun head kiss was real... it throws me off when they do that, i'll never understand it. I am not asking to each each others faces (don't mind me if you want to tho) but at least don't trick us with camera angels. weird.
Would like to see more of those 2 tho.

I mean, a bit whatever.

Is cute but goes in circles and absurd plots in order to make a series.

I buy it, if you watch it in one go you can skip and bare with the stupidity and see the cuteness.

BL couples on the side. Is fun, has some good scenes. I was entretained. 

They could have exploided more since they had a good story, good characters and well acted, but wanted to make it light and simple, not a bad choice but this had way more potential.

Still easy to watch, fun and a sweet aftertaste.

Reality show. Dating gay show.

A mess, clout chaser, cannot hold a candle in front of His Man

This was a really good short series. The actors did an amazing job and let's adress the elephant in the room, both male protagonists are hot as if.

The only down side is that feels like tasting a cake, and i want to eat it now. Let's hope to have good news soon.

Holly cow, what the hell i just watched. This feels like a show an student could write.

Just terrible.

I like this couple since their last show together. They work on terrible bad shows and acting is questionable but at least they are into each others and it shows.

They keep producing trash and i'm a fool for keep consuming it. Awefull in every sense.

I rather not have a kiss than a fake one. This was the icing of the cake for me, i persisted through thic and thin but this was an strugle and a pain to watch.  

Quite sad because this two had potential.

YES!! Puth x Kaeng being sweet to each others for 10 minutes straight!!

The only good thing that came out from Y destiny. 

PuthKaeng reing supreme.

I just hate when people act so unrealistic and instead of two adults feel like a 5yo kid woth no life experience in a body and life of a person in their 20's  that dones't realize and comprehend basic human emotions.

And then they make things absurd unrealist and drama for the sick of having one... I'm so over it.

The wors part? that the actors are nice and handsome and their chemistry is really good, they also kiss and touch aech others with realism and feels... Why is this the worst? because it shows that they were able to portray a great story if they gave them one but instead was absurd.

This is cute.
Young teen and his tutor (a friend from his sister's uni).
Is a sweet short thing to have a fluffy moment and move on.

The actors are a top noch pairing of visuals and the acting quite good. Enjoyed them.

The story has some unrealistic shit going on but overall is good as well. Not fond of the last stupid i leave you because i live you and it's the best for you. We have seeing that a million times and is alwas the same trope.

Is a decent kbl.

Is not the most cohesive piece of art, but overall was well done and it provided more than just the love stories.  There was some depth and people with personalities, interests and dreams.

Told the 3 love stories beautifully (but i wanted a bit more at some points specially for the 2 side couples) and even other side characters had some depth and interesting things to tell and teach.

Some skips and misunderstandings ruined a bit the love of the main couple at some points, but gave realism to their story. We humans are a mess anyway. For a long time i kinda felt sad for Torn because you could see him always being the one making concessions, putting Fah and his dreams first instead of his own... It felt that the love was unbalanced. But I felt that at the end they made Fah get his shit together and finally worked on the balance. And that's why they are end game and solid.

Cute guys, good start... but it goes nowhere.

Trying to portray deep issues, it leaves everything over the surfice.

The connection between the guys is left unexplored, they never even get together, and the ending is abrupt and feels incomplete.

Wasted oportunity if you ask me.

A really good movie about real strugles of gay guys in China under stric comunism. 

Sad but stunning, perfectly portrayed and a bitersweet taste. It's cute, sad, sweet and painful.

I mean, it's whatever.

Has some comedy that i liked but the "love story" is almost nonexistent. 

Ridiculous now yes now no, blabla to fill the time so they don't provide a love story.

It's still very weird, original and funny.

I just don't really see his love interest being a good story, is kinda all over the place and made no sense how the guy handled the hurdle and... no, just not it.  Is a missed oportunity for me, they could have done soooo much more with it...

But i still love the concept and all the comical stuff, just don't feel the main romance, at all.

I'm here for that intro.
