A Man Who Defies the World of BL 2

Although he becomes more open-minded, a shocking setback makes the main character feel jaded about love.

Maybe the sequel is slightly less funny, but it compensates with more sentimentality and romance. Ther...

This drama takes place in a fictional universe where everyone is happily gay, except for the main character who tries to resist the BL tropes around him. A Man Who Defies the World of BL is a very peculiar drama with an unusual sense of humour, heavily catering to hardcore fans of the Boys Love genre. Tol...

However, one of them is harbouring an emotional wound, which can only be healed through music and love. Although I tried to keep an open mind about the Given series, it seriously underwhelmed me.

My Beautiful Manis a Japanese BL drama about a student who falls in love with his bully. The protagonist is a social outcast in his new high school and becomes a lackey for the popular kids.

This short, leisurely drama features four teenagers in a beachside community, as they navigate their romantic feelings for each other.
