#Addicted bl

[omgtheregoesthefuckidontgive]

Why did it take me so long to realise these two are the same stories just different names

Hopefully Stay With Me actually finishes airing unlike Addicted (RIP) but still sucks that they've censored the fuck out of it so now it's just like a weird passionate story about two step brothers who appear to have this attachment to one another for no apparent reason idk just make it gay guy 😭

Let me be understood correctly - I wish Cheque all the best and the most spectacular successes in his professional life. But I will always have a tiny grave in my heart that says Lovely addict.

Hiii, I'm glad the ask box is open!

Idk if you already did a rec list on this, but can you recommend me old bls, like 90/2000s? I watched Seven days movies and its really good

Oh yay! Seven Days is the best. Actually, I have never done this. Here's a list of...

10+ BL's rated 7/10 or higher that aired prior to 2018

Just Friends?

Korea 2009 Gaga

This is Korea's first (kinda) upbeat version of a BL featuring already established boyfriends, one of whom is on military leave, trying to decide on coming out, family life, and the future. All of these are themes Korea will pretty much never tackle again, retreating as they would to their bubble. But what a fun little offering this little show was and is to this day. You should watch it.

Love Sick & Love Sick 2

Thai 2014 YouTube

This is one of those BLs that owes almost nothing to yaoi, although it started a number of tropes that are now endemic to Thai BL. What it is, instead, is a well scripted story of bisexual self-discovery and the inherent chaos of loving someone of the same gender for the first time, all wrapped up in hormones, existing relationships, and communication issues. It is high school queer angst at its messiest. Nothing is going to be easy for these boys because queer isn’t easy but also because life isn’t easy… welcome to adulthood sweethearts.

I'm actually considering a rewatch of these beginning of 2024 in honor of the 10 year anniversary if anyone wants to join.

Seven Days

Japan 2015 grey

The asker already mentioned it but still, 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 it’s low heat there’s still some really cute mutual kisses.

Addicted: Heroin

China 2016 Viki

When Chinese BL was good it was very dirty good and when it was bad it was censored. This is the model for that statement: rich kid falls madly for the genius poor kid in his class, starts an aggressive pursuit, includes kidnapping for love, obsession, stepbrother trope, plus some cheating. I love this BL because of what I could have been. Just stop watching it after The Sex Scene. Okay?

SOTUS & SOTUS S & SOTUS Our Skyy

Thai 2016 YouTube

This is the BL that launched a hundred BLs. No literally, it was SOTUS’s 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 and discussion here.

Make it Right 1 & 2 (but not Beach)

Thai 2016 YouTube (Cheewin warning)

What to say about this show, the origin of the Thai BL pulps? It’s objectively terrible, and not just the leads but the side couple too - yet I love it. I tend to call myself the “world’s foremost Make It Right apologist.” I recognize the issues but I find it utterly charming, especially Tee’s utter devotion to Fuse the baby bi disaster.

Long Time No See

Korea 2017 Gaga

Catfishing assassins on either side of a turf war who fall in love not knowing they are on opposite sides. Or do they? Good fight sequences, mature characters, high heat, very suspenseful, AND an HEA. If you like KinnPorsche or Kiseki you will LOVE this one.

HIStory Obsessed

Taiwan 2017 Viki

I weirdly love this but you should know what you are in for: that title. It has a stalking theme meets fated mates and quite a bit of dubious consent. Uke obsessed with seme to the point of losing himself and his identity dies after being rejected, and then has a chance to reboot his life. He decides to save himself by never falling in love. But destiny is a bitch, and this time the seme becomes obsessed with him. This one owes a lot to dark Chinese and Japanese BL, but kind of corrects for the expected sad dead finale by ending happily and playing with a ton of BL tropes. The leads have good chemistry, it's higher heat and the first time Taiwan starts to push that, and VERY DRAMATIC.

Some Others you might consider

Candy and Kiss - Japan 2015

Silhouette of Your Voice (Hidamari ga Kikoeru) - Japan 2017

Red Balloon - Taiwan 2017

Shifu @absolutebl I was practicing my Mandarin watching Chinese variety shows and I almost had an aneurysm because I had to watch Johnny Huang and Gong Jun laugh and say “we are all in the same family” because Huang Xiaoming asked what 0/1 (seme/uke) meant. On TV. Wearing very sexy suits. In no BL here China.

I have a question for you, what is your favourite physical trope you loved in any of the bls you watched?

Thanks for the question anon.

Physical trope I absolutely love is the head on the shoulder while facing each other.

Its generally done in emotional scenes and it's just so good if done right. It is quite rare, but we got a few which are the best scenes ever shot in any BLs.

Vegas Pete from KP

Ae being at end of his wits for his attraction towards Pete. Sadly I didn't find a gif for this scene. A screen shot does not do it justice.

Togawa being gone for Nozue san after an emotional confession. Dont have a gif for this either.

I think I am forgetting one more important one. Ill add it when I remember.

The other one which I love is back hugs. We have loads of them. Here are my few favs

Extra points if its domestic and is in the kitchen.

Special mention - This couple from History 4 has almost all their hugs as back hugs. Whenever Yong Jie hugs it's from the back, like he is trying to trap Xing Si. It's a smart directing choice.

[heretherebedork]

Oh no, DongHee and HoTae used to be friends and they both still care so much but DongHee definitely had a crush on him and HoTae was always running after girls and now their friendship has turned into an awkward mess of what it was, two men pushing at each other and against each other but still caring so much even if they don't know how to express it any longer.

(HoTae finds all these signs of their old friendship and is surprised that DongHee still cares enough to keep it but DongHee has been hanging onto it, never letting it far from him, keeping it where he works regardless of their broken friendship and HoTae has no idea what to do with that.)

@absolutebl Is this another friendship-broke-now-repair-it relationship in my BL and what's with the crashing wave of them right now? Not complaining, just celebrating. Side couple addiction is real.
