Our Days (2022)

Our Days was very nice, a college/sport themed romance, and considering college AND sport are usually not my cup of tea, the fact that I have found this series so interesting it is saying a lot on its quality. Mon and So are so good in their role, and for once, even the third wheel, Saint, was so good that I actually wanted for Mon to not choose... I'm jocking, a trouple would not be right for these characters, but still, it was hard to decide. Anyway there are some holes in the script, like, do you really want me to believe Mon was able to enter a stranger apartment without any issue and spend an entire night there before So finds him? and instead of calling the police, So offers him breakfast? and then So, who is living in a penthouse with a hot tube in the private terrace, decides to go living in, basically, a frat house, where he has to share his room with two other students, just because the house is nearer university? But OK, these are details distracting me, but not really important to the fact that Our Days was a very good romance, with likeable characters and a comedic/comic streak sometime unexpected, but never crass: the declaration of So to Mon, ending with him doing it to the wrong person was so hilarious! I really laughed out aloud when I realized it. Oh, BTW, look really until the very last second, after the end titles, otherwise you will not understand this is actually an HEA. You can see it on GagaOOLala. Heat Level: 3.5/6.

Short BL movies

Below a list of short BL movies (under 30 minutes). Too short to earn a review, but quite nice indeed

A Boss and a Babe (2023)

A Boss and a Babe was the first BL series I have ever saw. I was in a mood, sort of uninterested in everything, and I don't even remember how, I stumbled upon the series, and binge watched it in one day. It opened a world! Sure, after seeing hundreds of them, I can say this one is not the best one, but, to my opinion, it has still some of my favorite thropes. First of all, it's not entirely set in school/college. Sure Cher is a college student, but his student's life is just peripherical to the story. Both Cher and Gun are adult characters, and so are mostly of their interactions. The series is overall sexy without being too much in your face, Gun is playing the aloof and intensive male lead I prefer, but in the end, he is not imposing anything to Cher, mostly limiting his requests to very chaste video chat. Actually, most of the time, even when it's Gun starting the intimate moments, it's Cher who then pushes it on. HEA. You can see it on Youtube. Heat Level: 4.5/6.

2gether and Still 2gether (2020)

If you search for Gay Romance in BL series, 2gether and Still 2gether are often atop the favorite lists. I can see why, considering the other series of the same period, this series was more sweet, less clichè, and the fact that the pursued lead came out as being the pursuerer from the beginning was a nice switch. If I have to be true, considering these are two college students, Tine and Sarawat, who decides to live together, their personal relationship, and their intimate moment together, are not well, or enough, developed. Even after they are living in the same apartment, they still behave like there is a challenge between them, like the relationship has not yet started. But overall I liked it, and I liked also the supporting characters, their friends, from both side of the couple, are a riot; don't really like the side story between Sarawat's brother and Tine's former suitor, but that is just my personal feeling, even in that case, both actors were nice in their role. HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat Level: 2/6.

21 Days Theory (2022)

21 Days Theory is a sweet, cute and pure fluffy series. The enemies to lovers thrope is played without tension or drama, even the final separation is just temporary and soon resolved. The supporting characters are great, I especially liked Q's family, a supporting mother and the gay uncle that are able to provide love and a positive example. Maybe the thrope of Q being jealous of X because he thought X had an interest on his uncle is not the best, but even in this case, there was nothing creepy, and of course it was all in Q's mind. Despite the fact Q and X are competing for being actors, the setting was not too far from an ordinary high school romance, with cute, but overall ordinary, teenagers falling in love. HEA. You can see it on Youtube. Heat Level: 1/6.

The 8.2 Second Rule (2022)

The 8.2 Second Rule is not really a series, just 50 minutes in total, but it's sweet and I think the food + BL lovers will definitely like it. It follows the adventures of Amai Koichi, who fell in love in 8.2 seconds of various classmates, but he is always rejected (actually rejection is a strong word, cause no one of the potential love interests is aware of Amai). Just 5 episodes, each of them explaining the recipe Amai is using to conquer his love interest. It's cute and pure fluff, nothing deep and there is absolutely no drama. HEA. You can see it on Youtube. Heat Level: 1/6.

Oh! Boarding House (2022)

Oh! Boarding House was a light comedy. At 2 hours long, it's more a movie than a series, but nevertheless it was very nice. Again a title ranking low in the best BL series, and I wonder why: main leads are quite nice, Kim Chun Seo is actually very nice, the story is cute, the love triangle is sweet and not toxic. Maybe the low rate is due to the lack of sex, but trust me, there are some hilarous scenes that have an underlying sexiness, like the first shower scene, when Kim Chun Seo is surprised by Moon Seol Won. If I have to be true, when Kim Chun Seo surprises Moon Seol Won in the shower, I have to smile to the fact that Moon Seol Won, covered in bubbles, was nevertheless wearing a towel tight around his hips... who in the real world is showering like that? But yes, I suppose this was a "family" comedy. Anyway, it was nice, you spend 2 hours basically always with a smile, and even the third wheel, Cha Bong Deok, was sincere and it didn't revert to nasty tricks to prevail. I found funny that, while Kim Chun Seo and Moon Seol Won were still testing the waters, meaning that both of them were still unsure about loving another man, they went to see a gay comedy, Behind Cut, and the poster of that movie appears in many scenes, at the cinema and at the bus stop: probably this was a self promotion of the producers, not sure but they are probably the same. HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat Level: 3/6.

We Best Love: No. 1 For You and Fighting Mr. 2nd (2021)

We Best Love season 1 and season 2 are almost two complete different series, both in mood and approach to the characters. S1 is about college student, is mostly a cute story, with a gentle but unrelenting courtiship of Gao Shi De towards Zhou Shu Yi. Apparently s1 has an HEA if not for the very last scene where a misunderstanding separates the two lovers. In S2 (that for what I understand came out immediately after, therefore it's like a unique series), the misunderstanding is still there, but the two lovers try to mend the relationship nevertheless, even if there is a little more bickering than what I like, and sincerely I would prefer for them to just sit and discuss what they did and did not in the past. There are two side couple, the best friends of both of them in s1 and the cousing of Gao Shi De in s2 for whom the love story is more cute. Yes, indeed, considering the theme of the series, bit shot businessmen, I found their interactions to be too much childish, therefore maybe the series is not very realistic, but nevertheless, if you are searching something cute, it's good. HEA. You can see it on WeTV. Heat Level: 3/6.

Until We Meet Again (2019)

Until We Meet Again was good, a little bit too tragic for my taste, but at the same time it was also cute, with the thrope of the popular male lead in college falling for the introvert cute junior, with all the gossiping and rumoring that implies. Maybe Pharm is too much naive for my cup of tea, I prefer the uke to be more brisk, but Dean as seme is perfect, apparently aloof and cold, but always present when necessary. And I also like that he never once denied what he was feeling, even if at first, he didn't understand those feelings. HEA (for present story). You can see it on iQIYI and Viki. Heat Level: 4/6.

The Eighth Sense (2023)

The Eighth Sense was good. Not atop my favorite, but just because I don't like the thrope of the sudden separation with the excuse you will be better without me... lets your partner decides what is better for him, don't you think? Anyway they worked it out and it was quite good before and after, with them building their relationship in little steps till the apex (no pun intended) and then mending it. I really like also the side, heterosexual, couple with a little bit of May/December in it (not huge just a female senior with a male junior). The cinematography is quite good and all the cast is nice and not superfluous. Maybe the reaction of Jae Won's friend to a punch is a little bit too much, but I sense, from the very first scene, a bit of jealousy in him, so I would suggest to Jae Won to not consider him a friend to frequent in the future. HEA. You can see it on Viki. Heat Level: 4/6.
