10) Goddess Bless You From Death
Horror BLs are on the rise, but they need to be tactful and flavored. Also, adding gothic elements without overstretching their extent is important. Starring Pavel Naret & Pooh Krittin in lead roles, the drama showcases a serial murder case that involves occult culture, supernatural forces and sorcery. The storytelling is sublime, and the leads have an incomparable chemistry. Enjoy the ride with ghostly fervor!
9) Me and Thee
Comedy is a genre that cannot be handled easily. The comic timing should be right, the actor’s attempts should make the actor’s laugh and keep them entertained. Starring Pond Naravit and Phuwin Tangsakyuen, the show expands into a mafia universe ruled by “Thee” Theerakit Kian Lee. The guy is anticlimactic, melodramatic and over-the-top. His budding romance with the photographer Peach is sweet and endearing.
8) GelBoys
Director Boss Naruebet Kuno returns with a lovelorn song to shake the very conundrum of teenage romance with gel polish dynamics. Shot in natural lighting with mobile phone camera, the story showcases the raw emotions and affections of teenagers experiencing love for the first time. It is messy, chaotic, colorful and yet pure escapism!

Main leads, Boat Yongyut & Oat Pasakorn set the screen on fire and the flames couldn’t be doused with liters of water. Their combination is combustible, and the show has won accolades squarely based on their romance. Sorn & Jun are unlike most BL couples, maybe that’s what makes them different and unique!

A narcissist Emperor and his fallen prince, the story seems straight out of wuxia land.

An unassuming romance between two powerful protagonists from the Omegaverse, “ABO Desire” is the first proper interpretation of the fantasy world filled with awe & mysticism.

A revenge saga with a diabolical, comic twist; “Revenged Love” made waves across the globe with its bold content & daring casting.

3) Khemjira The Series
Possibly the most popular horror BL in existence, “Khemjira The Series” was a telltale experience that lives with you, beyond expectations. The minute detailing to spirit possession, past life experiences and supernatural elements combined with the solemn romance lends a subtle favor to this horror mystique. The main leads, Namping Napatsakorn & Keng Harit live & breathe air into their characters, enlivening them!
2) My Golden Blood

1) Burnout Syndrome
Anucha Boonyawatana spins another fantastical tale with her favorites-Gun Atthaphan & Off Jumpol.

Gun as Jira is straightforward, bold and artistic. Dew embodies Pheem’s confusion and charm. Definitely one of the best written scripts in recent times!
