Completed in 2023
A list to keep track of the shows I've completed in 2023
-
1. Choco Milk Shake
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
strongberry projects are always good and this was short but very cute - milk was definitely the highlight for me
-
2. Dear Doctor, I’m Coming For Your Soul
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
melancholic but beautiful, loved the premise behind it and that it was very different to many other bl series, tuaphee is one of the biggest green flag characters and the main ship have excellent chemistry
-
3. Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
i adored this show so so so much - i had the biggest smile on my face watching naoya and kota together <3 i do wish there had been more than the one kiss but their chemistry was so adorable that i can get over that
-
4. Minato Shouji Coin Laundry
Japanese Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
i really loved the first half of the show but sadly i felt like the storyline got dragged out way too much by the end & i was sad we didn't get to see them actually dating :(( the actors were both great though, chemistry was fantastic and shin is the best boy <3
-
5. The New Employee
Korean Drama - 2022, 7 episodes
their relationship was very cute but i found all the office/work stuff really boring?? also wish they'd shown some more intimacy after they actually became a couple but overall they were sweet and i was rooting for them
-
6. I Will Hit You
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
this became one of my fave comfort shows by the end even if it did take me a while to get invested, it's so unique and refreshing and noey is just one of my favourite characters ever!! noey/thi are adorable and it was so heartwarming watching their journey of falling in love
-
7. Star and Sky: Star in My Mind | Sky in Your Heart
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
the writing/character choices were not great but kluen/daonuea were extremely cute
-
8. Eien no Kino
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
this was absolutely beautiful and absolutely heartbreaking - i sobbed my heart out during the last episode </3 the love between micchan and koichi is what we should all wish for in our lives and the two actors were phenomenal in bringing that across on screen
-
9. Before Your Eyes Stop
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
a well-written show that did the whole bodyguard storyline really well - it wasn't too angsty but when the angst did happen it felt like it made sense for the story and the characters. tae joo and kang gook had some serious chemistry throughout so i can forgive the bad kiss at the end!
-
10. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
i'm gonna miss this sweet lovely show so much - tinn/gun are just one of the most adorable bl couples of all time
-
11. Never Let Me Go
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
the actual plot really wasn't good i have to say but the romance was everything to me - i was rooting for palm/nueng the whole way <3 i was pleasantly surprised by the pondphuwin chemistry - it was very natural and intimate and i hope we get to see more of these two cause i think they have a ton of potential
-
12. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
a beautiful, mature and realistic slice of life drama. i was equally in love with both li ming and heart's adorable first love relationship as i was with jim and wen's messy but heartwarming relationship with the both of them finding a home in each other. and the cast was absolutely amazing.
-
13. Liquor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
a few cute moments here and there but other than that it was just extremely boring and it's not something i'd choose to ever rewatch. the chemistry between the actors was alright but those kisses at the end were awful - they might as well have just left them out
-
14. He's Coming To Me
Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
ohm & singto acted their asses off in this show & i really liked their chemistry together. however some of the plots they introduced just fell flat to me (like thun falling for his mom's ex boyfriend??) and the ending felt like a cop out
-
15. Our Dating Sim
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
this has become one of my favourite kbls, it may have been short but it was perfect! the chemistry between these two is so natural and adorable & my face would literally ache from smiling so much at the end of each episode
-
16. A Shoulder to Cry On
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
the acting and the chemistry were really good, these two definitely surprised me! i loved seeing the way their relationship developed but those time skips in the last episode did feel very lazy to me & i wish we could have seen more of tae hyun working through his trauma
-
17. Jack Frost
Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
this was well-acted with good chemistry between the leads but personally i couldn't connect with the characters which meant i had trouble connecting with the story. the relationship felt very realistic which tbh is probably why i had trouble enjoying it - i want to see romance and happiness whereas this had too many secrets and lies
-
18. Bed Friend
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
worth watching for net's beautiful face and the insane chemistry between netjames but the pacing of the show was all off - felt like there was way too much trauma packed in at once for uea and yet the show also felt very slow and boring at times
-
19. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
what an extremely beautiful show and it had pretty much everything i look for - YEARNING, skinship, realistic and well-rounded characters, supportive platonic male/female friendships, therapy, stunning cinematography and soundtrack, PINING. plus there were heavy skam vibes which is my favourite show of all time so you really can't go wrong
-
20. Destiny Seeker
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
cliche but seriously cute, mutual pining is one of my favourite tropes ever and these two pull it off very well. it just made me happy to watch every episode and i liked that their relationship was always healthy and supportive and equal. and they ended the show as dads with a baby!! how precious is that <3
-
21. A Boss and a Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
this show was my happy and fluffy place until they introduced that annoying ghosting/making decisions for your boyfriend instead of just communicating plotline near the end =/ i am glad that it introduced me to forcebook cause i think they have very natural and sweet chemistry
-
22. Love Mate
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
this was cute (especially the middle half when we got to see them dating and being all fluffy) but the last couple of episodes really let it down for me
-
23. Manera de Morir
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
the perfect maxtul chemistry kept me watching but i did become really invested in the story as it went on and think it had a great balance of romance and mystery. i also loved the side characters and the little found family that they'd all kinda formed at the end.
-
24. Bokura no Shokutaku
Japanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
i loved it! found family is my fave trope and this little family is one of the most adorable ever. minoru/yutaka are so cutely awkward together and they just make me happy watching them, only thing bad about the show was that it ended too soon imo, i wanna see more of their relationship as they grow!
-
25. A Tractor Loaded with Love
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
i unfortunately did not like this as much as everyone else seemed to - ye chan kept me watching because he was adorable and a unique character but i thought the romance was really rushed at the end and i just couldn't really believe in it
-
26. Don't Say No
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
it was nothing special but the two couples were very cute - i'm gonna be bitter forever if we don't get that happy ending at some point for leon/pob though like those two adorable babies deserve to be happy together :(
-
27. Our Skyy 2
Thai Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
a very mixed bag. the ones i liked and would rewatch were bad buddy/1000 stars (eps 1 and 4 really), never let me go, boss and a babe & vice versa. the others were not really worth watching and the my school president eps were terrible which is a massive shame.
-
28. Shigatsu no Tokyo wa...
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
it was quite good but i feel like i enjoyed it more for the potential than what was actually being shown?? the acting wasn't great but i think they did good with the romance - there was chemistry there and i enjoyed the cute/domestic moments
-
29. Sing My Crush
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
this might quite possibly be one of the cutest bl series i've ever watched. the chemistry between the two mains was perfect and it's definitely gone quickly into my top five kbls <3
-
30. Wedding Plan
Thai Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
i didn't really get into it until halfway through and then it was quickly over so it's definitely short but sweet. the actual story wasn't the best but the main couple had amazing chemistry and some very cute moments which is pretty much what you can expect from a mame show so i can't complain
-
31. Laws of Attraction
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
a very entertaining show!! charn has to be the cutest sociopath lawyer ever and although they didn't have much screentime i adored the side couples just as much as i love charn/tinn
-
32. Stand by Your Side
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
i found it really boring at first but the second half was very cute. i loved all the intimate little touches between them that made them feel real - all the kisses and the adorable nose rubs <3
-
33. Innocent Playmates
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
i could have watched a 100 episodes and never gotten bored!! it may have been censored but they still managed to give us one of the most romantic, intense and loving relationships i've seen on tv and "su yu is mine" will live in my head forever. if we don't get a second season so we can see their happy ending on screen i might actually riot cause these two deserve so much happiness.
-
34. Love Class Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
it wasn't amazing but it was cute!! i enjoyed watching all three couples and i like that they managed to put equal focus/development on all three love stories so i was able to get invested in all of them and not just one
-
35. Minato Shouji Coin Laundry Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
so disappointing, these actors deserved better :(( it's like they took everything that annoyed me about the first season and just multiplied it. there were a few bright spots (asuka was a delight!!) and i enjoyed the last episode but they really should have made it a shorter series imo
-
36. Hidden Agenda
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
this was so extremely dull...when will joongdunk finally get a good show?? they have the chemistry but they really need something different if they wanna develop further
-
37. Love in Translation
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
the plot/writing really wasn't great but there were some very heartfelt moments and i am now utterly obsessed with daouoffroad and their chemistry <3
-
38. My Personal Weatherman
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
they are both absolutely beautiful and their chemistry was insane. usually miscommunication storylines annoy me but i felt like it was really well done here and made sense for the characters and i like that the ending felt hopeful but that they still realistically have a long way to go
-
39. Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
boring... and the chemistry just wasn't really there unfortunately
-
40. Dangerous Romance
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
i was obsessed with those first two episodes and i really wish they had kept that darker tone going instead of suddenly becoming all fluffy but the show wasn't all bad - i liked the episodes after kang and sailom finally got together & the whole cast were really good. i've warmed to perthchimon a lot after this show - chimon still really needs to work on looking comfortable with kissing a guy but i think they've got potential and a cute kind of chemistry that does work
-
41. Kimi to Nara Koi wo Shite Mite mo
Japanese Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
what an absolutely adorable short little dose of fluff!! these two are so so cute together and it's so refreshing to see teenage characters that feel realistic and are actually emotionally mature and just wanna treat each other well <3
-
42. Miracle
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
both couples had insane chemistry and were cute and everything but ai di/chen yi completely stole my heart and kept me watching like they are the ship of my dreams
-
43. I Feel You Linger in the Air
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
i really wanted to love it so much more than i did :(( it was just way too slow for me as the side stories just dragged but the main couple were really sweet and romantic.
-
44. You Are Mine
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
they were really cute in the last episode!! why did we not get more of that?? :( i thought the miscommunication was dragged out for way too long and i did start to get bored but they pulled it back in the end and i thought the character development for them both was really well done
-
45. Jun and Jun
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
this was just bad =/ they definitely tried with the chemistry and i appreciate that they went for it with the kisses but the writing was terrible and the actors just couldn't save it. it felt like there were so many little plots going on that it just became a big boring mess
-
46. Teñido de Ti
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
a lot of potential with the story but unfortunately as it's such a short series it all fell flat. one of the only bl series that made me root for a poly relationship at the end though so that's something
-
47. My Dear Gangster Oppa
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
it had so much potential and i really loved the first few episodes but sadly it went downhill very quickly with characters making dumb decisions all over the place and guy/tew not being given enough focus as the main couple
-
48. Kimi ni wa Todokanai
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
a very sweet first love romance! i don't think it'll stick in my mind for long but it was a cute one-time watch and i thought the actor who played kakeru was really good
-
49. Stay Still
Hong Kong Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
it was pretty good - definitely worth watching for hayden/damien as they are utterly adorable!! i like that they had two contrasting love stories with one couple coming together and forming new bonds and one couple rediscovering their old bond after being torn apart
-
50. Middle Love
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
it was just so bad and such a waste of tutoryim's chemistry. side couples deserved more screentime cause they were carrying the whole show
