“How long has it been since you and me? Hugs and kisses. Blankets and snuggles. Our sparks smoldering without a fireplace. Losing time is not losing you. It strengthens my yearning for you.” ― FIDELIS O MKPARU

This Week in BL - new entries upset the rankings
Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.
April 2024 Wk 2
Ongoing Series - Thai
City of Stars (Fri iQIYI) ep 11 of 12 - Like most Thai BL pulps, this show doesn’t have much story to it. But I'm discovering that what it does have I actually really enjoy. I love that the gay boys got to play matchmaker for a change and I like how just GAY they are. It's nice. Refreshing.
We Are (Weds GMMTV iQIYI) ep 1-2 of 16 - University ensemble BL featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawinPoon. I like it. It’s old school Thai BL, but having fun with itself and its tropes. I’m not expecting much, so I don’t mind it waffling. All the couples are comfy. Chemistry is okay. Friendships are nifty. I like Pond's floppy hair. We fine.
Two Worlds (Thurs IQIYI) ep 5 of 10 - What an extremely bloody episode. And bad guy turned out to be very bad indeed. And now pretty much everyone is dead. Nice kiss. Of course.
Deep Night (Thurs iQiyi) ep 6 of 8 - It’s cute, they happy, not a ton happened. Random gratuitous bathing. As you do in BL. And I still think the sides should just end up in a thrupple
Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 2 of 12 - Oh they very cute. Also very silly.
1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 9 of 12 - No. NOT THE GUITAR. YES abandon guitar for the sniff test! Love this for them. And me. My most favorite trope defeated my least favorite trope. VICTORY!!!
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 8 of 11 - It’s just so good. Baby went away, grew up, and learned how to become a temptation... and a husband.
Gray Shelter AKA Gray Currents (Korea Thurs iQIYI) 1 of 5 eps - SooHyuk, only just surviving, reunites with YoonDae, his (brief) younger stepbrother who feels abandoned. They end up living together. The younger brother is played by Lee Jae Bin of Choco Milk Shake. OMG. STEPBROTHERS TROPE. Lucky me! Two in one season. Yay!!!! It's Korea so great visuals too. I shallow but yeah, this is great.
Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 1 of 10 - Kindly Ryota goes off to uni only to find his new roommate is his childhood bestie, Kazuhito. Kazuhito doesn’t have a girlfriend and Ryota tries to help him figure out why. Same director as Old Fashion Cupcake. It’s utterly charming. I am charmed. Also the framing is gorgeous (of course). Very stylish.
Love is Better the Second Time Around AKA Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto (Japan Weds Gaga) ep 6fin - I don’t know. Kind of a flat ending with the leads apart for most of it. I enjoyed this show but it never really hit with me.
Summation
After a teen betrayal and resulting separation a reporter reunites with his first love. That love wants him back. I enjoyed the authenticity of a reunion romance explored in Japan's quintessentially contemplative yet surreal way. The juxtaposition of the tenderness of the sex scenes with this Japanese style of authenticity was oddly elegant but all in all this still fell a little flat for me. There's nothing objectively wrong with it, but in total the narrative felt sluggish and the main couple were just... stiff (in the wrong way). Frankly, I'd rather just rewatch Tokyo in April is. 8/10
Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 3-4 of 12 - What is going on with this show? No, I get the plot. I just don't get the show or why I’m watching it. Annoying.
It's done, but I suck
What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps
To Be Continued (Sat C3 Thailand grey) ep 7-8fin - I can't for the life of me find the final 2 episodes. Haven't had a real hunt, but yeah. No dice so far.
It's airing but...
Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari (Japan Furritsubs) eps 1-? of 10 - I may wait and binge it.
Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.
Kiseki Chapter 2 (Sun iQIYI) 6 eps - It’s so boring DNFed at 2.
Close Friend Season 3: Soju Bomb! (Weds iQIYI) 6 - The problem with situational comedy BL is it must be situational, comedic and a BL. This show gets 1 of 3 claims correct. 33% is not a passing grade. Dropped at 3.
Memory in the Letter (Thai WeTV) - only 4 eps, tell me if I should bother?
Next Week Looks Like This:
4/18 At 25:00 in Alaska AKA 25 Ji Akasaka de (Japan Thurs Gaga) 10 eps - Yuki lands his first starring role in a BL drama alongside superstar Asami (previously his senior at uni). Said superstar suggests they form a sham relationship until filming concludes. As they actually begin to fall in love, the spotlight begins to burn. I think I've seen this before (joke) and also the trailer doesn't inspire confidence.
Still to Come in April
4/25 Boys Be Brave! AKA Roommates (Korea Thurs Viki) 8 eps - Trailer Jung Ki Sub is Kim Jin Woo's slacker friend - and secret crush. So when Ki Sub crashes at his place, his heart tingles to be near him everyday. But as the short stay turns into permanent mooch, how long can Jin Woo keep his true feelings under wraps and hold back from confessing?
4/26 My Stand-In (Thai iQIYI) 12 eps - adaptation of Chinese novel "Professional Body Double" by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KP (not a recommendation IMHO - my biggest criticism of that show was the clashing directing styles). This one looks complicated, lemme try: Joe is a stuntman for famous actor Tong. Joe falls in love with Ming but Ming sees Joe as nothing more than a Tong-replacement. After learning this horrible truth, Joe dies. Joe then wakes up in the body of another man also named Joe. He manages to rebuild the same life as before—with the same people eventually re-meeting Ming. Ming wants Joe back but Joe doesn't understand why. But Ming seems to know what's going on and wants to give him some kind of explanation.
I'm exhausted just trying to describe the plot.
Knock-Knock Boys (Thai WeTV) - 4 college friends conspire to help their friend lose his virginity. Familiar faces like Seng (yes, Billy's previous pairing) and Best, news here. But will it actually air this month?
Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.
NOTE: It looks like one of my personal favorites of last year Unintentional Love Story is getting a spin off!

Hi Eboni 😊 For the Top 5 BL ask game: Favourite Kiss 👨❤️💋👨 and if this was asked already: Best Baddie 😎
HEY MAXINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top 5 Kisses!
CharlieBabe's first kiss in Pit Babe the series. SCREAMING about how perfect it was. Whenever Charlie hooks his hand around Babe's neck like that???????? I lose it.
PalmNueng's Relationship Establishing Kiss from Never Let Me Go. I've been screaming about this kiss all year! The way Palm just throws his whole body into it??
Fan Ze Rui and Bai Zong Yi's kiss when they reunited from Kiseki: Dear to Me. Whenever Ze Rui climbs into Zong Yi's lap tho? But also I had been WAITING for this kiss and they are literally about to morph into one being with how tightly they hold each other.
Choi Jun and Lee Jun's lusty makeout from Jun & Jun. Lee Jun was quite aggressive this whole time. I'm positive Choi Jun loved every single second of that manhandling from his swee small Jun, look at him pulling on Lee Jun's shirt.
Hira and Kiyoi's chocolate kiss in Utsukushii Kare S2. Literally had me SCREAMING!!!
Top 5 Baddies!
Nail from For Him. He's literally my new fave. He's just so fucking fabulous and so sexy and literally in his bag. He doesn't have time for crazy stalkers and cheating exes. He's keeping his eyes on the prize...himself...and he'll gladly let someone worthy sit beside him but don't ever get too fucking comfortable.
Uea from Bed Friend. Bad bitches are sad bitches sometimes. Might be falling apart on the inside, but no bottom-of-the-barrel ass bitch is gon keep a Baddie like Uea down for too long. He's gon sling that cute lil purse on and "accidentally" smack you in the face.
Kim from Pit Babe the series. A Baddie confidently sits in the Winner's Circle and that is where you'll find Kim and if you have a problem then you can step to him. You won't win but, good luck. Please just stay out of his way and let him be a baddie in peace...with his crown...for winning.
Charn from Laws of Attraction. Baddies don't need to explain themselves. They come up with grandmaster plans and hide behind a facade of cute helplessness so you won't get in their way and try to stop them. Charn is the king of his craft and pretty kings do what pretty kings want and he's too busy sleeping on silk sheets in silk monogram pajamas in his penthouse condo to care.
Chot from Step by Step. Sis is actually a nice baddie. Chot knows all the tea and he's going to sit pretty while giving you the best advice ever. Trust Chot...he's been boo'd up for like 7 yrs and his man treats him like the royalty he is.
ASK ME MY TOP 5 BL ANYTHING FOR 2023

Jun & Jun - Episode 8 (Final)
raineydaydelib reblogged
Too 5 horniest sex scenes
There were actually a lot of really solid sex scenes this year. For you, I will cheat and add extras.
Masumi and Ritsu in College in The End of the World With You
I actually think these are better in retrospect because we got to see what these two look like ten years later.
Yang and Phumjai Knocking Down Their Own Store in Love in Translation
I just know this was a fantasy for Yang and he absolutely still has that footage somewhere. They both had beds upstairs!
Namnuea Showing Sailom the Real Him in Wedding Plan
We did not get enough focus on characters who have experience sharing that with each other.
Kim Sung Min and Yoo Joo Hyuk in Love Class 2
We don't often get solidly built boys together in BL, and once again we got two men who knew how to fuck going at it.
Boston and Top in that Car in Only Friends
Top was trying to send that boy into orbit the way he jackhammered him! You know Boston's ass was clean and ready for this moment that he orchestrated.
That First Night Between Nail and Him in For Him
Nothing like a rebound hookup. Bonus if he looks exactly like your ex, amirite??
Saengtai Blowing Patts in La Pluie Ep 7
There's an extended version of this in the special episode on iQIYI. You should check it out. My man Patts was about to lose his mind in this and got what he needed to keep going.
Kon Diao and Yi on the Couch in Naughty Babe Ep 6
Let us never again mention the thumb incident in episode 8. Instead, let's talk about Kon Diao taking charge in this scene and blowing Yi so good that he had to keep his socks on.
King and Uea Explore Kinks in Bed Friend
King was trembling in anticipation when he shared this with Uea.
