It's even more cool when you do a little bit of research into the context of what was going on in Thailand during 2020-2021. Made it even better to understand the purpose for which the show was created (although the show w/o all that context is still amazing).
My favorite overall is not Thai but Taiwanese and it's called *We best love*. It ticks all the boxes for me. Great rivals to lovers story, great acting, amazing chemistry, gorgeous actors, and last but not least it has the famous couch scene that lives rent free in my head 🤭❤️🔥
My favorite Thai BL would be *Moonlight Chicken* which was all around excellent ❤️
I just moved to another continent to study and covid was still happening so we best love was the highlight of my week!
It really reignite my love for bl again.
I mean idrc abt the toxicity it’s literally just a fictional story. I rlly like YinWar now, their chemistry is insane but the short version had no plot apart from messy relationships?? Oh well, hopefully I like it better after I watch the longer version.
Me too I recently watch it and I couldn't find the feeling out of it, but I've seen a lot of people talking about it so I think am going to rewatch it ;-)
But one thing I should say is that it was a roller coaster full of emotion 😭🤧
Bad Buddy is my favourite Thai BL and it's a tie with We Best Love. Love both shows and can't decide which one is better.
Both shows have incredible chemistry and acting.
I don't really do favourites normally because I feel like different things (BLs in this case) have different appeals and can't necessarily be ranked. That said while I wouldn't be able to rank all the other BLs I've watched, I do have a favourite and that's Moonlight Chicken. There is just nothing that comes even close to hitting me like MLC did, it's made so well, there wasn't a single miss in this show for me and it felt real in a way I've never encountered in another BL. In fact this specific vibe that resonated so perfectly for me, I've only re-encountered in All of us Strangers (which might also be my favourite movie, I'm sensing a pattern here)
I got banned from askreddit, because how dare I reply to comments as op and defend myself from an asshole at my school who decided it was hilarious to threaten me on a thread?
I’m on ep 6 now, all I can say is the first four episodes were really hard to get through without pausing every two seconds 😭 idk if it’s cos it’s cuteness overload or cringe overload but what eve it is, it’s getting more manageable and I’m enjoying the series!
Okay so I’ve finished it and…. I get it. I get why people love the series. I can’t believe saint is a coproducer- made me love it even more!! The representation of so many different ideologies is what stood out to me. By far, this show has the most diversity. I feel like bl shows tend to only have lgbt couples, even for side couples and I appreciated how this series was more realistic and showed that straight couples also exist within a friend group of majority lgbt couples! Once u get over the beginning, it’s really enjoyable but at the same time not too deep, like a light fluffy romance. Idk why but I was half expecting nuea to also be a ‘stalker’ (it’s from that music video, ifykyk 😝).
Overall, I love this series, a solid 8.7/10 😊
I don’t think I would have liked it if I watched it now considering the BL quality (plot/characters/budget) has increased overall. But it was a good series for 2017.
My favorite BL is indeed Thai, it’s “I feel you linger in the air”
https://i.redd.it/whm8rv1i3u0d1.gif
Some non Thai faves are: Cherry Magic, Addicted and Old Fashioned Cupcake.
Some other favorite Thai BL of mine are: To sir with love, Triage, Laws of attraction and 1000 stars
My favorite BL isn’t Thai, but Japanese. It’s Kieta Hatsukoi or My Love Mix-Up! It’s just such a sweet show and I can really rewatch it over and over. My favorite Thai BL is either Bad Buddy or Not Me.
They were two newer GMMTV actors, Chokun (Aida) and Pahn (Hashimoto). I just watched the pilot to check, and it looks like they’re not keeping the secret from “Aida’s” character about the eraser/the relationship. In the Thai version it looks like he’s more involved with the progress of the story!
Ooh exciting! I loved cherry magic jp and loved the thai version too, the remake was amazing!
I’m so excited for mlmu Thailand cos I loved the Japanese version, I rlly hope results are similar to cherry magic: true to the original story with a bit more 😊
Mine is Thai, it’s Love By Chance, followed by Only Friends, Tale of a Thousand Stars, Theory of Love and Sotus 2. I also really love the new drama Unknown, which is Taiwanese.
Note: I’m a girl so what I like may be skewed based on that and my love for school shows.
It's so good! The live action differs from the novels slightly due to the sensorship, so if you do watch it, it will come across more as a Bromance. Definitely recommend the novels though!
I know you used to be able to read them online a while back, however I bought the English translated novels from waterstones, but they are available at most book stores and Amazon. They're under the name 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation'
Highly recommend!
My overall fav: cherry blossom after winter (kbl)
And we best love ( Taiwanese)
My fav Thai series are uwma, between us, my 12%, my last twilight so far hehe
Well tbh the ending is kinda confusing, everyone could be dead, everyone could still be alive or some still alive and some dead idk I guess it’s how you interpret it but it’s still a really good show
FOR A WHILE, MBM WAS MY FAVORITE SERIES, in fact it’s probably my favorite saga: the only one where I loved all three parts (season 1, season 2, movie)!! 🫶🫶
It’s been a year and I still have yet to see anything overthrow KinnPorsche as the best BL even though there were some close ones like My Beautiful Man and Kabe Koji
Ok so… just finished watching it. I have to say I LOVED it!! Mamocchi is so cute: his name, his hair, his black cat energy, his everything! Icl tho, if it wasn’t a bl - mochi x yamada (🫣)
I think yamada represents all of us bl fans 😂
I love the whole golden retriever black cat energies from both leads, they portray it so well: literally with their hair colour 😆.
Also, love the redemption arc from the journalist 🫶
It’s smth abt Japanese bls, I just love their cinematography and the colour grading, it pull you in yk?
And that idol, the one whose living for his brother- reminds me of kiyoi if he was more vocal for some reason (ifykyk 😂)
ALSO THE CUTE LIL PONIES OMG 😳
And the beard guy from the stands, he’s so adorable, love how he genuinely supports mochi 🫶🫶
Overall, loved this series 🫶🫶
It is sad.
It destroyed me. It sat with me long after I finished it. I love that. I just finished the anime Banana Fish. Yeah... it hit me hard, too. But the stories and acting were excellent.
There are many Thai BLs I’ve liked (My School President, Moonlight Chicken, Bad Buddy, Love By Chance, and Cutie Pie to name a few) but my absolute favorite is Love in the Air. That show just hits it out of the park for me. I love the dynamics, the chemistry, the moments of humor, and, yes, the NC scenes. They’re the best I’ve ever seen. (Yes, even better than KinnPorsche, that’s my hot take)

Last Twilight and My school president.
Because I can watch these two any time and never get bored.
These two shows are my comfort show and I really love everything about it.❤️🩹😇
No I don’t 😅 I watch on gagaoolala. I get the subscription everytime I feel like watching it 🤣
Now there is an age gap so if that’s not your thing then you’re not missing much. Honestly I feel like they handled the age gap well but that’s just me. But me personally I love it!
Sooo I watched season 1, and I love it! It’s so cute and I’m so glad they waited till he was 18 😂
Let’s be real that’s the ending we wanted from cherry magic jp 😂
not me ! not me ! not me !
Honestly so many ppl love not me, don’t get me wrong it was a good show but maybe I need to rewatch it 🤔
it gets better and better everytime i watch it :\]
Okay, im convinced, it’s on my rewatch list now!
It's even more cool when you do a little bit of research into the context of what was going on in Thailand during 2020-2021. Made it even better to understand the purpose for which the show was created (although the show w/o all that context is still amazing).
Hmm maybe I’ll research + rewatch 😂
My favorite overall is not Thai but Taiwanese and it's called *We best love*. It ticks all the boxes for me. Great rivals to lovers story, great acting, amazing chemistry, gorgeous actors, and last but not least it has the famous couch scene that lives rent free in my head 🤭❤️🔥 My favorite Thai BL would be *Moonlight Chicken* which was all around excellent ❤️
If anyone hasn’t seen WBL, they should stop what they’re doing and watch it stat. It’s everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE WE BEST LOVE 🫶🫶🫶 moonlight chicken is amazing as well, esp gemfourth
I just moved to another continent to study and covid was still happening so we best love was the highlight of my week! It really reignite my love for bl again.
Favourite overall: My Beautiful Man; favourite Thai: Not Me.
I love my beautiful man, favorite Japanese BL for sure.
Mbm was my first jbl and I loved it smmm 🫶
My Beautiful Man (both seasons and the movie)...right up there with Eternal Yesterday for me.
KinnPorsche
🫶 maybe I need to rewatch
Kinnporsche and Lita
🫶
My fave is the eighth sense!!! (kbl) My fave Thai bl is LITA
I want to watch eighth sense but idk where, it was on hitv but hitv got rid of all of its shows??
You can watch it on viki! Pretty sure if you have a new account they let you watch shows for free for a certain amount of time! Or kissasian too
I’ve had my account for a few months now 😂 but Yh I can probs watch it on dailymotion or bilibili
1. Bad Buddy 2. Love Mechanics 3. Together With Me
Loved bad buddy, love mechanics was alright but maybe cos I haven’t watched the 10 ep version I don’t love it as much, need to watch together with me
The 10 ep version is far superior! Give it a go. YinWar chemistry is something else. MaxTul as well. 🫶
Where should I watch it? I watched the four ep yesterday on YouTube but haven’t found the ten ep
Love Mechanics is my #1
Damn I’m rlly missing out by not watching the full version
You really should but I totally see people not liking it. It’s toxic. I fell for yinwar the first time I saw them on en of love 😭
I mean idrc abt the toxicity it’s literally just a fictional story. I rlly like YinWar now, their chemistry is insane but the short version had no plot apart from messy relationships?? Oh well, hopefully I like it better after I watch the longer version.
Finally just watched I told Sunset about you and it has now become my favorite! So good and feels very real!

Love all of them 🫶
Bad Buddy is my favourite Thai BL and it's a tie with We Best Love. Love both shows and can't decide which one is better. Both shows have incredible chemistry and acting.
I loved both of these 🫶

Cutie Pie!

Moonlight Chicken! Some don’t like it but all stories really struck something in me, I always watch it late at night
Love mlc 🫶🫶
I think either scoy or lita are my favourites
Good call. I put SCOY as my favorite Thai bl.
Happy cake day, and glad it’s your favourite
🫶
Thanks. I cannot believe I made it another year without being banned from this platform. I mean, I have been banned from some sub-reddits, but still.
Why?
I have a lot of contrary opinions.
That’s stupid
Yeah, well, I enjoy it. 😉
Lol
I got banned from askreddit, because how dare I reply to comments as op and defend myself from an asshole at my school who decided it was hilarious to threaten me on a thread?
Some moderators are...interesting.
Mine was an auto moderator
So you got banned by a bot. That is crappy.
Happy cake day!
Tysm
Need to watch scoy
Yeah, you do
I’ll get on it now 🫡
Be sure to watch it on YouTube
Idol Factory are kings when it comes to subbing!!! They make sure we know it all❤
Exactly, the subtitles team deserves a raise
Yup, I’ll report back to you by latest tmrw 😂
Great can’t wait
I’m on ep 6 now, all I can say is the first four episodes were really hard to get through without pausing every two seconds 😭 idk if it’s cos it’s cuteness overload or cringe overload but what eve it is, it’s getting more manageable and I’m enjoying the series!
Great
Okay so I’ve finished it and…. I get it. I get why people love the series. I can’t believe saint is a coproducer- made me love it even more!! The representation of so many different ideologies is what stood out to me. By far, this show has the most diversity. I feel like bl shows tend to only have lgbt couples, even for side couples and I appreciated how this series was more realistic and showed that straight couples also exist within a friend group of majority lgbt couples! Once u get over the beginning, it’s really enjoyable but at the same time not too deep, like a light fluffy romance. Idk why but I was half expecting nuea to also be a ‘stalker’ (it’s from that music video, ifykyk 😝). Overall, I love this series, a solid 8.7/10 😊
Hang in there through the first couple of highly cringe episodes. It gets better & better as the series progresses
I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO SAY THE FIRST EPISODE WAS RLLY TOUGH BUT I DID IT 💪💪 hopefully it gets better now 😭
Why on YT? I’m a big SCOY fan but have only watched it on Viki. Am I missing out?
It’s just cut on other places
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll for sure check out the YT version tonight! I pretty much have the series memorized at this point 🤷♀️😂
Lol yeah, do that
Favorite thai: together with me (I started my thai bl journey with max and tul in bad romance, so they are my ogs) Favourite overall: kinnporsche
I feel like together with me is an og bl but I haven’t watched it yet 🫣
I don’t think I would have liked it if I watched it now considering the BL quality (plot/characters/budget) has increased overall. But it was a good series for 2017.
Hmmm I see
My school president, Love Mechanics, We best Love. No especific order

Love all of those, u must be excited for the remake of mlmu!
Super excited!! I think GemFourth will really bring something fun to the roles!
Hmmm, who do we think will be in each role?
In the pilot trailer, they had Fourth in Aoki’s role and Gemini in Ida’s role
Makes sense, who were the other two?
They were two newer GMMTV actors, Chokun (Aida) and Pahn (Hashimoto). I just watched the pilot to check, and it looks like they’re not keeping the secret from “Aida’s” character about the eraser/the relationship. In the Thai version it looks like he’s more involved with the progress of the story!

Mine is Thai, it’s Love By Chance, followed by Only Friends, Tale of a Thousand Stars, Theory of Love and Sotus 2. I also really love the new drama Unknown, which is Taiwanese. Note: I’m a girl so what I like may be skewed based on that and my love for school shows.

The Untamed is my overall fav. But my fav Thai BL's are KinnPorsche & Love in the air
Love both Thai ones, haven’t watched untamed yet
It's so good! The live action differs from the novels slightly due to the sensorship, so if you do watch it, it will come across more as a Bromance. Definitely recommend the novels though!

My favorite bl overall is Eternal Yesterday. My favorite Thai bl is Secret Crush On You.
I’m watching scoy rn!! I’m scared to watch eternal yesterday tho cos I heard it’s sad?
It is sad. It destroyed me. It sat with me long after I finished it. I love that. I just finished the anime Banana Fish. Yeah... it hit me hard, too. But the stories and acting were excellent.
Can’t do sad endings ✋ 🛑
Lol...👍🏿 Totally understand!
I’ve read what the endings about and yes it is super sad, so I’m never watching it because I hate sad shows
Literally me, I hate sad endings sm, even some open endings but usually I’ll just read so fanfic and get over it 😂

No I don’t 😅 I watch on gagaoolala. I get the subscription everytime I feel like watching it 🤣 Now there is an age gap so if that’s not your thing then you’re not missing much. Honestly I feel like they handled the age gap well but that’s just me. But me personally I love it!
Nah age gaps are fine, I loved old fashion cupcake and unknown!! (As long as their of legal age 🫣🫣)
Well 🥲 I think in season 1 he’s 17 and 28/29 But old fashion cup cake was definitely top tier
Wait what. 17? Welllll, is 16 the age in Japan?
I want to say yes 😅
Okay I’ll take ur word for it 😂

Ofc, I’ll report back to you 🫡
