Hello Fount of BL Knowledge, I hope you can answer this question.
I am loving the pairing of a young seme and an older uke. other than Minato's Coin Laundry and the History 3 side couple, what other BLs have this pairing?
Not only do I gotcha covered, I am more than pleased to do this post.Ā Power flipped hyung romances = one of my ABSOLUTE favorites! (I sort of did it here,Ā Younger Gay Identifying Elder Gay as MINE, but Iāll do it again properly!)Ā
Age Gap BLs where the Seme is YOUNGERĀ Ā
This was super common in early yaoi, like SUPER common. Japan loves an age gap + power play, and making the younger character the aggressor is the definition of power play. Guess who else likes it a lot? Why yes, Taiwan.Ā
In no particular order, this is just a list.Ā
Minatoās Laundromat
Japan 2022 GaGaĀ
AKA Minato Coin Laundry AKA Wash My Heart! AKA Minato Shouji Koin Randorii AKA Minato Shouji Coin Laundry
Younger seme older uke, 10 year age gap. I love this show so much. This is by far the best long running example that really dwells on this trope, Shin is very much the aggressor also very much still a high school kid. Minato is very much NOT.Ā
Old Fashion CupcakeĀ
Japan 2022 Viki & GaGaĀ
Also from Japan, another 10 year gap, and a flipping genius version. This time both parties are older, so thereās less of a stigma around the age gap, but there is stigma about the one being the otherās boss.Ā
This show had me from the moment they broke the egg yolk with the chopsticks in the opening credits for episode one. Itās about a younger man with a long cherished crush on his boss (ten years older and going through a mid life crisis) who decides to save and seduce said man with pancakes. Itās wholesome, comforting, sexy, and a very necessary narrative about still having hope, interests, and openness to affection at any age. Itās coming of age/queerness packaged in a subtle critique of expectations around masculinity and love and loneliness... and itās beautiful. Full review.Ā
Seven Days
Japan 2015 greyĀ
AKA Seven Days: Monday-Thursday AND Seven Days: Friday-Sunday Japan
Seryou kinda counts as the pursuer, but the dynamic is very very weak in this one. Still the way he asks to use Yuzuruās first name (so CHEEKY) and the way he says āsenpaiā in SUCH a cute way makes me so happy.
Never doubt my ability to recommend this show. One of the best live action yaois ever made, with perfectly structured angst, fantastic characters and acting, and no problematic tropes (rare in Japanese BL). The leads have excellent chemistry although itās low heat thereās still some really cute mutual kisses.Ā
HIStory 2: Crossing the Line
Taiwan 2018 VikiĀ
Seme uke is VERY weak with this one but the younger character is certainly the pursuer. Itās SO GOOD.Ā
Lin Pei Yu directs this is a sports romance (volleyball) with a good boy/bad boy pairing, and mu favorite of the HIStory franchise. There is no clear seme/uke. Ostensibly it's high school set but Taiwan doesn't care about age appropriate actors. It's a very soft sweet romance with some ridiculously easily overcome conflict. There's great kisses but it's medium heat. The side dishes are the stepbrother trope but theyāre very tame, and thereās no other triggers. It's not just my favorite of the franchise, itās one of my favorite BLs with a perfect happy ending.
SOTUS
Thailand 2016 YouTubeĀ
Guess who started this trope in Thailand? Yeah, sometimes I forget too. But they are not just classic sunshine/tsunder but classic younger/older.Ā
This is the BL that launched a hundred BLs. No literally, it was SOTUSās international success that pretty much built the Thai BL industry into the juggernaut it is today. People have baggage around SOTUS, I have nostalgia. Trigger warning on bully hazing. Review here.Ā
Oxygen
Thailand 2020 YouTubeĀ
Thailandās first real stab at this dynamic as a main couple and it so worked for me. There are many who find this BL too slow and wooden, but I loved it so much.Ā
I think of that as the paragon of Thailandās BL style, since Oxygen uses every BL trope in the playbook for one of the gentlest lowest angst BLs ever made. This one showcases how far Thailand is moving BL from its yaoi roots, and is a prime example of the sweet ānew BLā model for which Thailand is the main advocate (Korea is liking it a lot these days too, tho). My first watch along.Ā
Lovely Writer
Thailand 2021 YouTubeĀ
Again Sib is quite a bit younger than Gene and the pursuer, man I love this dynamic. Since Gene is out of university and established in his career, I'm calling this one for age gap.
Thailand criticizes itself and the BL industry while simultaneously giving us classic seme/uke with great chemistry in a one-two punch of āwe love it, but are we supposed to? and must we think this hard, yet enjoy it SO MUCH?ā This show wonāt appeal or make sense to those who donāt already have at least some Thai BL watching experience. What Lovely Writer does, at heart, is reexamine Thai BL has done to queerness, but in a very gentle way that has more to do with Thai BL growing up than any actual queer authenticity. Itās not parody or pastiche, but it is self reflective and trying to correct for some chronic mistakes. Whether it is ultimately successful in this matter is going to depend on the watcherās relationship to BL and queer identity. But thatās what makes this show beautiful, interesting, and thought provoking. And I, for one, applaud the effort even if I didnāt personally connect to the characters.
Manner of DeathĀ
Thailand 2021 WeTV
Itās not really relevant to the story, but Tan is younger. Not only that, heās Bunās friends younger brother.Ā
I like MoD a lot but Iām conflicted over it being actual BL. Itās a great gay romantic suspense, although the mystery element is its weakness. MaxTul, the Kings of chemistry, are, of course, perfect and perfectly cast, but their romance thread is more a distraction than an addition. Still, I could watch them make-out the phonebook. Watch along here.Ā
En of Love: TosseraĀ
Thailand 2020 YouTubeĀ
Younger boy wants to court older boy and does and⦠thatās it. No really thatās the WHOLE STORY. There is actually no angst, drama, or, indeed plot. But are they the softest bois ever to BL as a main couple? Yes they are.
Private Lessons
Korea 2020 GaGaĀ
Another BL short from Strongberry that I love and given it is age gap and teacher/student (catnip) it should rate super high. The chemistry is slightly off though, but stil I do love this one for the dynamic. Certainly world watching especially if this is your trope.Ā
MingKit MarkKit
2 Moons (VERY side dish) YouTubeĀ 2 Moons 2Ā YouTube (major side dish) Gen Y (leads) Gen Y 2 (sides again in LTR)Ā
Thailandās premier version of this dynamic I just lumped them all into one category. Only in 2 Moons 2 are they played by different actors, otherwise it is all KimCop, and who can complain about that? If you want to watch specifically for this dynamic than go for Gen Y. Trash watch here.Ā
SIDE DISHES with this dynamic!Ā
HIStory 3: the BL that shall not be named (BoXiang & ZhiGang)
Also HIStory 4: Close to You
The side characters in H3:MODC (and cameos in H4) BoXiang & ZhiGang have a huge age gap, 12 years, and it is a big deal for their relationship. When they start outĀ BoXiang is a desperate himbo high school kid andĀ ZhiGang is a small business owner.Ā BoXiangās friends tease him more for his lust over such a much older man than for being gay.Ā
HIStory 4: Close to You (YongJie & XingSi)Ā
YongJie is quite a bit younger than XingSi, not sure on the specifics but he's in middle school when XingSi is in high school and still in college when XingSi has his own business. Also the stepbrother trope. This couple is VERY problematic, but I like them anyway, probubly because I love this trope so much, and I am trash for trash.Ā
Brothers (KhunKaow)Ā
This is not a good show, but side couple Khun & Kaow are great in it and this is my favorite version of an age gap: younger seme + older uke. Khun is in university and Kaow has a baking business.
Donāt Say No (LeonPob)Ā
Leon and Pob qualify. Thatās all I have to say about that.Ā
Youāre My Sky (SanAei)
SanAei are a classic uni age gap pairing. San is a bit of a spoiled rich kid jock who identifies the older nerd character as HIS and is just like, MINE. Thatās MY elder gay.Ā
Top Secret Together and Love By Chance both have sub plots of high school boys pursuing college ones, but TST one didnāt go anywhere and LBC went very very bad, so yeah... no. LBCās is my favorite version too, best friendās older bother, sigh. I would LOVE to see this done better.Ā
Others that kinda qualify
Pornographer series
So this is a dirty gaslighting crazy piece of Japan being SO Japan about this trope. But it sure is age gap. Established novelist with an intention to corrupt, bullies college kid into writing his porn for him with the intent to seduce, but his is the bottom (not a submissive) so itās intentionally playing with the seme/uke dynamic. Itās an ugly dirty series, but also hot.Ā
Heās Coming to MeĀ
Mes is much older than Thun, and Thus is (in the end) the pursuer, but itās kinda complicated by the fact that Mes is, ya know, a ghost.Ā
Plus and Minus
The side pairing is an age gap with the younger as pursuer but itās not really relevant to the story.
Tasty Florida
I think you could argue the younger character is more intersted in the relationship, but it;s also pretty clear the older boy will be in charge.Ā
HIStory My Hero
Itās body swap and necessary pursuit for reasons of paranormal, so Iām not sure Iād count it.Ā
My Ride
Itās not relevant but I believe Mork is younger.Ā
Love Stage!! (sides)
The Thai version sides, TheeJet, are age gap and in the comic Thee is the pursuer. In this series, they are in a secret LTR so who chased whom isnāt relevant.Ā
My Engineer (sides)
I make no case for it but possibly RamKing?Ā
Not Me (sides)
DanYok is said that way, but Yok is certainly the pursuer at the beginning, and heās younger.Ā
Similar:Ā
BLs With Age Gaps - Hyung RomancesĀ - these is just when there is a big age gap, not necessarily a power flip.Ā
I also love noona romances for this same reason, the abnormal power dynamic (older woman, younger man) gives agency to the female character in an Asian romance drama = very rare.Ā
