Do you like bolder BL dramas that aren’t afraid to show their “adult” side? If so, you’ve come to the right place! They’re not only sweet, but they also have plots filled with heart-pounding chemistry (and maybe a little steamy, too). From relationships that start with lies to love journeys filled with challenges, here are 5 recommended BL series 18+ that you absolutely must watch.

1. Wandee Goodday (2024)

Yoryak and Wandee are a couple not to be underestimated. They started out with just a physical relationship—but who would have thought it would be the beginning of an emotional drama. Just imagine, they’re like two people who never expected to fall in love, while each still harbors feelings for someone else. Their chemistry is what makes it exciting, because there are many awkward moments, but they’re still really fun! What makes this series 18+? Make no mistake, there are some steamy scenes, and they’re quite daring, so be prepared if you watch this!

2. Love in the Big City (2024)

The title may sound like a typical Korean drama, but wait, this series offers a completely different story! What if living in a big city wasn’t just about love triangles, but also about self-acceptance and defying stereotypes? While it might seem ordinary at first, trust us, there are plenty of thought-provoking moments—and some steamy scenes that will definitely make you melt! While this series isn’t strictly BL, it still touches on LGBTQ+ issues. If you like deeper stories with a sexy edge, this is perfect for you.

3. Love Sea (2024)

This series is a bit bland, but if you’re a big fan of the actors from Love in the Air, you’ll definitely love it! The story follows Tongrak, who meets Mahasamut while he’s looking for inspiration for a new novel. They click instantly, but it ends up being more than just friends, so it’s a bit unclear… There are occasional steamy scenes that add an 18+ twist, but the story itself is a bit lackluster. If you’re just watching for the handsome actors—go ahead!

4. The On1y One (2024)

If you love stories about sibling relationships that suddenly turn into romance, this series will make you cry! The story begins with two people who were once rivals or enemies, but instead become step-siblings living together. They go from teasing each other to ultimately falling in love. There are plenty of awkward and adorable moments, plus plenty of quite daring scenes. Of course, since this series is strictly 18+, there will be some pretty shocking scenes.

5. My Stand-In (2024)

This last one is absolutely adorable! The story is about Joe, a stuntman, but there’s a big drama behind it all. What makes this series different is the time travel plot, where Joe dies and wakes up in someone else’s body. But it’s not just the plot twist that makes it exciting, because Joe and Ming’s relationship is full of annoying toxicity! But don’t worry, because despite the toxicity, this series provides a pretty satisfying redemption. If you like unusual stories, but full of steamy scenes that make you excited, this is a must-watch.

So there you have it, for those of you looking for BL 18+ series that are not only sweet but also full of steamy scenes, the five dramas above are a must-watch option. They’re not just about sweet romance, but also have adult elements that make it even more exciting to watch. So, prepare some free time, and don’t forget to bring tissues (maybe to wipe off your sweat, okay?)
