Chinese BL - from Taiwan, Hong Kong and China
BL/Gay themes movies, dramas and short movies from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
For a comprehensive list of Asian BL containing not only these titles but also Japan, South Korea and Thailand; see my huge list for Asian BL/Gay movies and dramas. (At the moment 771 titles and counting.) Also see my other lists; separate BL lists for each country, Short movies/mini-dramas, and others.
(My political conscience demands that I clarify; My label "Chinese" refers to language and simplified cultural unity. Taiwan is not a part of China, no matter what the latter might claim. Let's hope that it stays that way--so that the Taiwanese LGBTQ people may keep their human and legal rights.)
List will only contain titles in which BL/Gay/Male Bi couples/characters/themes, have at least a somewhat prominent role.
***(Titles with (only) Trans characters; not included--a Trans woman who loves men is straight, not gay.
Crossdressing has nothing to do with gender identity so titles with cross-dressing guys who like guys; included.
Bodyswap is (reluctantly) included.
Bromance if there is an implication that it is/will go beyond friendship)***
Adding titles and comments every now and then.
Note; To make it simple; I'll just call BL, even if it would be more correct to say; stories about guys who are attracted to guys.
"Gay theme" and BL are two different things.
But as long as one can tell fantasy from reality--it's a convenient word.

203. Third Country
Chinese Drama - 2017, 3 episodes
Ahhh... this was... nice, yet disappointing.
The very, very unique scenery and setting is devastatingly beautiful, and the whole feel of this mini drama, is artistic and exquisite--but it just doesn't fulfil its potential. It could have been one of the most beautiful pieces in the assortment of more mellow, low-key gay-themed works--but it falls a little bit flat in writing, characters and development.
Such a shame, because the premise could have made for something unforgettable.

212. We Best Love: El Sub-campeón Contraataca
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Sequel season to drama "We Best Love: No 1 For You".
I was annoyed at the stupid plot ending to S1 and the time jump to S2--I fricking hate time jumps, they're ridiculous and unbelievable--but I actually find myself really liking the setting and maturity of the guys' characters in S2.
And... OMG, their chemistry... Absolutely epic in this season.
Not only do they showcase great acting (especially Sam Lin impressed in episode 2)--but their interaction is electric. One of the best connections between actors in any BL. Ever.
If you aren't interested for any other reason--watch it if only for that reason alone... It's worth it.I can't believe I almost missed out on this one, just because of something so stupid as an annoying title...
One of my absolute favs for this year and probably will end up on my all-time-fav list.
