While BL as a genre evolves, so do the consistent pairings. Fan service remains an inevitable choice, there are multiple fandoms with their own favorites (even I belong to one such fandom). As such, we have our personal biases, and they form reckoning forces, through their acting talents and charming chemistry. For this feature, let me describe what chemistry means to them!

Relationships, especially for people carrying past hurt, aren’t easy to navigate. Loving someone can come naturally, but helping another person feel safe, seen, and secure takes patience, intention, and care. That security is at the heart of the Japanese BL Therapy Game, a drama that understands that sometimes healing means simply being a steady presence for someone who chooses you every day.
There’s something deeply comforting about watching a youthful romance unfold without a lot of drama, where two people simply meet, hesitate, and fall in love. School Trip: Joined a Group I’m Not Close To unfolds with that kind of slow build, offering a story that feels like catching your breath in a world that rarely slows down.

“Once a cup is cracked, there is no way to make it whole again; the more you use it, the more it cracks.” – Quote from Ha Noi, I love You

Not everyone learns how to love the same way. Life teaches us through loss, neglect, power, tenderness, and survival, and those lessons become the lenses through which we understand intimacy. Thundercloud Rainstorm understands this deeply, presenting love not as a universal language, but as something shaped by experience, trauma, and the environments that raise us.

There’s always so much happening in the world of BL, particularly Thai BL, that it’s hard to keep up. Nevertheless, one event that had X abuzz this weekend was Starlympics, GMMTV’s major sporting event and concert. I saw one post saying that over 100 artists performed, which is crazy. I don’t know how they jam-packed it into one day, but they did! There are plenty of fancams on YouTube and X, so be sure to check them out.
With the excitement surrounding the premiere of Netflix’s most anticipated movie “10 Dance”, the news updates were slow to churn out more exclusives. So, we could rest easy!
It has been excruciating year, in terms of BL production. The Asian subcontinent is churning shows & movies at a speed that is incomprehensible. It could be attributed to the fact that Thailand as the largest producer of queer content has found the liberty to legalize same-sex marriage. It was difficult to choose a select few for this list; I had to let go of quite a few shows to compile this feature. But here we are, so enjoy the feast!

When it comes to relationships, we talk endlessly about words. What is said, what isn’t, and what should have been. We talk far less about the language of bodies, about movement, proximity, restraint, and the unspoken pull between two people. That’s where the Japanese BL film 10Dance truly shines. It steps beyond dialogue and places its story squarely on the dance floor, letting desire, rivalry, and vulnerability speak through motion instead of monologue.
Relationships aren’t always perfect or anything close to what outsiders think they should be. Sometimes the person we fall in love with is the one who quietly reminds us of the version of ourselves we most want to grow into, even when getting there is messy. That’s the heart of At 25:00 in Akasaka Season 2, the continuation of the story adapted from Natsuno Hiroko’s manga 25 Ji, Akasaka de, once again starring Niihara Taisuke as Shirasaki Yuki and Komagine Kiita as Hayama Asami, two actors whose love began in a complicated blur of fiction and truth.
