Historical dramas have a charm of their own. Most of them are relegated to the timeline between the 1930s & 1960s, when western culture was slowly being adopted into the Asian subcontinent. These dramas feature settings that have traditional styles but modern vibes; costumes that betray the local culture whilst the citizens are adapting to a western mindset. Despite that, homophobia was still rampant and that remains at the forefront in most BL- themed shows.

Top Ten BL Dramas- My Personal Favorites (2025)
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!

BL Week in Review
Eight series ended this week, and we only have one new series beginning next week. I think we are finally getting some breathing room for a minute.
I enjoyed “The Proper Way to Write Love”, “Memoir of Rati”, and “The Promise of the Soul” enough to recommend them here. Each series had a unique premise and was easy to follow. I believe “The Proper Way to Write Love” had the best execution, but “Memoir of Rati” certainly follows close behind. Anyway, they would make a fun binge session for a weekend where you just need to relax.
BL Week in Review
School wore me out this week, and consequently, I find myself here on Saturday evening, playing catch up. I looked at my social media and realized I hadn’t posted any reviews most of the week, which is unusual for me. Still, I’m glad I’m able to write this article each week and reflect upon all that happened, since there’s always quite a bit going on.
BL Week in Review
There are twenty-five series currently airing that are accessible to international viewers, plus a variety of reel series, and I have chosen to watch thirteen of them. I guess that’s what happens when the BL flood begins.

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.
