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
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.
YouTube Gems You Haven’t Discovered
We have hundreds of productions dropping their new series on YouTube these days. Local companies vying to make some money banking on the popularity that BL genre is generating. While they can be theoretically dubbed as BL, their quality is still questionable. The storytelling and narrative aren’t always exceptional. But there are some which toe the line between good & abysmal. In today’s article, we are featuring some of these gems that remain unexplored!
“Secret Lover” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Someone commented on our Twitter/X post that “We have another Sorn & Jun on our hands” and I laughed out loud because it is so true!!

“Fight for You” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
Once I completed this series, I asked myself what was the premise of this series? And I honestly could not figure one out. It is your standard formulaic BL, full of tropes, cliches, customary setups, and unremarkable contrived crisis. But through at least some portions of this series, I found myself being avidly entertained chiefly because of the charming effect of the two main leads. The remainder, however, not so much because it was your standard flat setup.
“The Promise of the Soul” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 4)
A story of fate, identity, and forbidden resonance!

BL Week in Review
This is a special week. I am including two extra days of reviews because on Tuesday, July 8, I am flying to New York to spend ten days. While I’m there, I will be attending “The Heart Killers” Fan Meeting and “Timeless Thai Taste” 2025. I will be doing a special article when I come back about those events, since I will not have watched many (if any) BL series while I’m there.
BL Week in Review
Things settled down a bit this week, but I still think there are too many series on Fridays to make watching everything the same day super enjoyable, so I think I’m going to have to drop some, and the first two that come to mind are “Pitbabe” and “Knock Out”. It’s not that they’re not well-done; they just bring me the least amount of joy. I may watch them on Wednesdays, when there’s not a lot airing.
