I qualify a good tv kiss based on three things, believability, physicality and consent. So the kiss has to be more than just a press of lips, no dead fish lips please. If the actors are clearly uncomfortable or cringing away, yeah, no don’t do that. And if the characters are aware of the kiss, no drunk, stoned, dub-con, surprised, shocked kisses plz. With that being said, these are my (current) favourite first kisses in BLs.

Note: I clearly haven’t watched every BL made, so if you like a first kiss better, cool, lemme know the series and I’ll probably check it out ;)

1 - Sean x White (Not Me)

OffGun has some pretty decent kisses in their history together, and some lousy ones too (looking at you PickRome’s first kiss), but SeanWhite are probably the characters with the best kisses of OffGun’s combined careers. Sean and White’s first kiss is basically perfect, plus the lighting and set up of the location was gorgeous, seriously, the setting sun between their faces!? Ugh, stop!

2 - Pat x Pran (Bad Buddy)

A classic rooftop BL kiss, but damn if OhmNanon didn’t throw their whole ass selves into that kiss. The desperation, the tears, the visual heartache on Pran’s face as he finally got what he’d wanted for so long only to know he couldn’t/shouldn’t have it. It was so good, usually first kisses aren’t bittersweet but this one was and it was beautiful.

3 - Gene x Sib (Lovely Writer)

I love a good ‘practice kiss’ in a show, Kao played Sib wanting to jump Gene’s bones constantly really well, they could’ve been a pretty believable high heat couple had the script called for it. I like how shy Gene is as first before really leaning into it, how it fuels his story and writing, cause hey, a good first kiss should stay in your mind for at least a little while, right?

4 - Nure and Syn (Cutie Pie)

Should the second secondary couple have the best first kiss in a series? No, probably not. But do they in Cutie Pie? Yes, they do. Lian and Kuea’s first kiss was drunken and awkward while MaxNat has kissed so many times at this point that all their characters ‘first kiss’ seems like their 100th kiss. But Nure and Syn’s first (and only) on screen kiss was damn near perfect, also Syn going in for a second kiss only to be stopped by his gawking friends was too adorable.

5 - Dean and Pharm (Until We Meet Again)

Prompt from Chanen: Since Lovely Writer gets better and better with every episode released, I'd love to read about Gene getting jealous of someone flirting with Nubsib and vice versa. If it gets hot & steamy, no complaints from me! ❤️ Thanks in Advance!
