MY TOP CHINESE BLS
A list of my top Chinese bl series and movies
-
1. Addicted Heroin
Chinese Drama - 2016, 15 episodes
One of the last ‘overt’ Chinese bls before it triggered the ban. Since then China introduced strict censorship rules for their entertainment industry meaning that all bls had to be packaged as bromances. Any love scenes and romantic affection between two males had to be done through sub-text. This may be frustrating for some viewers.
-
2. Innocent Playmates
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
This is the remake of ‘Addicted’ and although it is subject to Chinese censorship rules, it is as close to a bl as you’ll get from a Chinese production since ‘Addicted’.
-
3. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
This is another Chinese bl packaged as a bromance, therefore everything is portrayed through sub-text. This may be frustrating for some viewers.
-
4. A Tale of the Wanderers
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
This is the same as The Untamed in terms of it being a bl packaged as a bromance.
-
5. Advance Bravely
Chinese Drama - 2017, 30 episodes
This series suffered a similar fate to ‘Addicted’ when the romance started to become too overt.
-
6. Zai Ni Xin Zhi Suo Xiang De Di Fang
Chinese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
One of those rare uncensored Chinese bls. Content warning for a scene that some viewers might find triggering/problematic.
*Personally, I didn‘t find it problematic given the context of that scene that may be misinterpreted for something else.

7. Precise Shot
Chinese Drama - 2020, 20 episodes
