Top 5 BL Series 2025
1st Place- Khemjira
What can I say? This series had me in its grip the entire time it was airing. It had a gripping start and a lovely ending. All of the middle bits were solid storytelling.
10/10 would recommend it to anyone.

I couldn’t pick between Shine and The Heart Killers. They are both excellent for different reasons, so they tied for second.

3rd Place- Punks Triangle
If you asked me before I started this series whether I thought two people holding hands could be sensual, my answer would have been no. It’s nothing to write home about. This show changed my mind.

The only exceptional one was The Journey to K***ing You. Our Youth could have been if I hadn’t read the webtoon. I haven't watched 10 Things I Want to Do before I Turn 40, Love Sea, Takumi-kun, At 25:00 in Akasaka S2, Therapy Game, and Love Begins in the World of If, yet.

Perfect 10 Liners was such a surprise. They brilliantly wove three stories together while still giving everyone time to shine. Faifa and Wine stole my heart, but the entire cast gave something special.
