"I'm telling you, I told all my friends and teachers that I'm bringing my two dads."

So 2022 has been a great year for BLs so far and there are so many more to come, so these are the ones I’m most excited for!

10. Check Out (thai)

Airs: 11th June

Two boys troubled by love meet whilst travelling and start to fall for each other. I’ve been a big fan of Best since LBC and his real life friendship with Chahub translates to incredible onscreen chemistry. A special episode has already been released and it wasn’t incredible, but their chemistry and the poster they recently posted are so beautiful, that Check Out had to be on this list. (12 episodes)

9. Ocean Like Me (korea)

Airs: 2022

A man dreams of opening a restaurant on the beach, whilst trying to achieve his dream he meets a failed musician. After 2 years Han Gi Chan is going to be in another B.L. (WYEL is still one of my favourites) - and he’s starring alongside Holland (the 1st openly gay idol) - so I’m very excited! Not much else is known, but it’s coming and the location looks gorgeous!

8. Middleman’s Love/Bed Friend (thai)

Airs: 2022

Yes…this is 2 series, but they feature the same characters. Middleman’s Love: an average looking man (Jade) catches the eye of a handsome new intern. Bed Friend: Jades 2 best friends, don’t like each other but have a connection. Mii2 have a new drama! I love them, but the enemies to lovers story of Bed Friend is the one I’m most excited for. These are also from the same production company as Cutie Pie which I’m really liking.

7. Summerdaze The Series (singapore)

Airs: August?

A star actor gets in trouble for making a homophobic comment, to repair his image his management cast him in a B.L, his costar is an aspiring actor and the 2 fall in love during shooting. This plot sounds like my thing AND this is Singapores first ever B.L! There’s a stunning short film and trailer made for this project, they didn’t meet their crowdfunding goal, but they’re filming anyway - it’s hard to find updates, but this is a big deal!

6. Never Let Me Go (thai)

Airs: September?

A boys mafia boss father is m*rdered and a boy his age is brought in to protect him. Bodyguard B.Ls are the trend atm and I couldn’t be happier. This looks so dark and gritty, but also so beautiful. The director has revealed this is based on 90s thai melodrama lakorns and in those series the leads tend to die, which is why I can’t put this further up my list!

5. Blueming (korea)

Airs: 31st March

Siwon worked so hard most of his life to be perfect and handsome, in college he meets someone who naturally seems perfect. This is by my queen, the director of To My Star and WYEL! I love the plot and the trailers are unbelievably adorable, it looks like it carries a lovely message and it’s by my fave KBL director…I just wish it was going to be longer! (11 episodes)

4. Love In Spring (korea)

Airs: April?

A struggling nobleman saves a woman one day, but things are not as they seem when the woman he saved is revealed to be a man. I’ve been wanting a really good historical B.L. for a while now and I’m hoping this is it! I’m also a big fan of gender-bend dramas and it stars a big time idol who I’ve seen in a couple dramas and he’s always one of the highlights! Also the gender-bend is so convincing, look at him! (16 episodes)

3. About Youth (taiwan)

Airs: 2022

Two very different boys are competing to become student president, but whilst competing it seems there may be more attraction than animosity. This is from the director of all my favourite HiStory series. It’s also the first time that a Taiwanese B.L. novel will be adapted into a series! I’m so excited for this, it’s hard to find any updates online but it’s been shot!

2. I Feel You Linger In The Air (thai)

Airs: 2022

An architect is heartbroken when his boyfriend reveals he has a fiancée, he gets into an accident and is transported back in time to the 1930s. I’m really looking forward to this. It’s starring Non who’s been my thai drama crush for years and this is his first B.L! I also love a time travelling plot. It’s from the director of TharnType and Lovely Writer, his last project wasn’t as well received but I hope this’ll be a return to form!

1. KinnPorsche (thai)

Airs: 2nd April

This is what inspired me to make this list! We all know what it’s about, but incase you don’t, this is the story of a bartender who becomes a bodyguard for a mafia family. I couldn’t be more excited, the trailer, the music, the cast - it all looks incredible! The struggle it’s been to watch this series get made, but now it’s 10 days away and those 10 days feel way too long! (14 episodes)

I get their relationship in one image.
