2023 was actually a fab year for all the bl addicts. The industry (especially Thai bls has become the soft identity of thailand) is becoming famous every single day, a lot of new lead pairs and series are being released on day to day basis (for a bl addict like me friday, saturday and sunday are always packed).
Table of Contents
Even though the number of series are increasing, the quality of the content is actually at risk…. In between all these, 2023 gave us so many gems. There are series who introduced us into the world of manhwas like alphaomegaverse (you know which one I’m refering to), historical/period, timetravel, pure human emotion, deepest desires of youths…… So many emotions and so many genres were touched in this year. I think 2023 was the most flourished year for BLs around the world.
1. Midnight Series: Moonlight Chicken
When the magician (P’Aof) made a MASTERPIECE. I’m in love with this series (do check my review of the series). This will touch your soul. Every character was designed and potrayed at its best. A real MASTERPIECE.

2. The Sign
The GAMECHANGER- done best at every department(P’Saint threw money without hesitation).
A series which handled the historic traditional beliefs of thailand, when Naga and Garuda, born enemies fell for each other… Best CG effect, best story, best acting/cast.. Well handled.
3. The Last Twilight
P’Aof waved his wand again and made a heart-touching piece.
Heart touching, if you are already a jimmysea fan then u can see a more polished version of them on the series, all the characters are given importance and ofcourse P’Aof started and ended the year with a bang.
4. Dead Friend Forever
Rollercoaster ride, gave some future lead actors for the industry.
Thrilling as hell, a cast with well promising actors for thai industry, very good story and its presentation. The show depicts how we humans show our darkest desires and also touches some intersting contents. The last episode just ended with so many doubts, expecting a second season soon.
5. Only Friends
Not Faen(bf), u don’t want to get confused, right? When Gmmtv unleashed another surprise.
Story of a group of 4 friends, how they all fall in love with other four making these group of 8 to go through emotional rollercoaster. Betrayel, revenge, true love, lust, disappointment, cheating, happines, friendship….. All the basic emotions are shown beautifully. Kudos to the cast and crew… My personal favourite couple is #SandRay(its amazing to have such a love story). Ost by Khao is dope.
6. I Feel You Linger in the Air
Great story, great chemistry and sexy.
When Jom an architect who is renovating a historic house time travels to 1920s to meet the mysterious man in his dreams named Yai. Their lovestory is beautiful and hot. The series is an absolute watch for all the bl addicts out there.
7. Pit Babe
Vrooooommmm….. Screaaachhh………. Tony and his children… When manhwa world opened its door.
Welcomed us to the world of AlphaOmegaverse(manhwa readers are so happy)… Series had a set of stunning visuals. The series actually made us travel along the racing pit and was actually a new experience for me. I was so in love with the drama that i read the novel too… Personally i love the novel more so a kind reminder to the fans, watch the drama first then u mustttt read the novel, its a gem.
8. Be My Favourite
Cute and Sweet, loved the Ost.
Oh P’Krist, i loved the drama absolute fun along with heartouching scenes. The series is about how Botkawi who is in love with a girl named Praemai, is travelling back in time to be his 18yrs self to confess his love for her, but fate takes a turn and he is finding his true love, through numerous trial and error. P’krist and Gawin have a very good chemistry in the series.
9. Cherry Magic
A genre needed for TayNew.
Adapted from japanaese manga, Japanese drama was also released. Compared to jdrama, this is rather long and improvised version with almost complete lovestory and it is sweet indeed. The iconic bickering couple #TayNew is actually pretty calm but intense and took a mature step in this series.
10. Shadow
Super supernatural story.
P’Singto (My fav)came back with a bang, the story is super super supernatural and thrilling. His acting is perfect and the cast ing is very good. Series is placed to happen in 1999 in an all boys high school, the series just peaks its rating after every episode giving us teeth biting experieces…. You will definitely feel a chill down ur spine.
