2025 was literally the year of “Toxic BLs” and leading the charge were Chinese BL. So, don’t be surprised that all shows on this list are made up of unhealthy relationships, which are quite toxic but relatively addictive. You can’t relate to the toxicity portrayed by these characters and yet their love stories are indigenous!!

Toxic BLs That Will Leave You Shocked Beyond Your Imagination! (2025)
Toxic BLs are on the rise and literally the Chinese industry is flaunting the genre, despite the existent censorship. We have shows buzzing with toxic characters who are obsessive and hot-tempered.

“ABO Desire” Series Review (Ep.1 to 16)
Well this is it. History has been made. And I feel an honour being part of the first generation to watch a live action omegaverse. From the depths of fanfic websites to the big screen (well depending on where you watch it), it has been a concept many prayed to the Yaoi gods to be made into a live action while many had lost hope of it ever happening. But time has come! It has happened! A man with six-packs (I checked. Li Peien has them) said the words “I’m pregnant.”
“ABO Desire” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 5)
In a bold leap forward for Chinese Boys’ Love dramas, ABO Desire (垂涎) breaks new ground as the world’s first live-action Omegaverse series centered on male pregnancy.
Yes, you read that correctly — the series revolves around male pregnancy.
BL Week in Review
This year in BL just keeps getting better and better.
BL Week in Review
Dear fellow BL Fans,
Good news. I feel better this week, although I’m still recovering. I think the saddest thing for me was not having “The Ex-Morning” to watch on Thursday, though there have been hints that Krist and Singto will have a new series in 2026, so fingers crossed (and maybe toes, too).
This week, three new series dropped that are fabulous. I was thinking about which one I enjoyed the most, and I think they’re equal. All get first place in my book. You may be wondering what those series are. Well, look no further, look for the “Highlights” to find out. Let’s get on to the BL Week in Review.

BL Week in Review
Wow! I just realized when I put the dates on this article that it’s been a hot second since I’ve written to all of you! I look forward to chatting with everyone on Tuesday about all the happenings in the world of BL.
Needless to say, New York was a wild, ten-day adventure full of ups and downs. Of course, I had to get sick toward the end of the trip, and I’ve been spending this time watching series and recovering.
Chinese Dramas in 2025 That Escaped Censorship
The sudden outpour of Chinese dramas (both certified BL & Bromances) might come as a surprise to most. There are many who are still questioning the extent of censorship; even a slight change in schedule makes them panic. Chinese censorship is notoriously infamous for cutting down good dramas solely because homosexuality is criminalized offense in that country. But in recent days, producers and directors have found a new way to produce these dramas- shooting them abroad & streaming them on international platforms. Since it surpasses the regional boundaries, these dramas are safe!
