BL with my personal favorite couples
These aren't necessarily my favorite BL, just shows where I was particularly attached to the main couple. Other BL may be overall better shows and I certainly liked the main couples in them, but they didn't resonate with me quite like these.

1. Until We Meet Again
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
I'm honestly getting tired of the whole "enemies to lovers" trope. Or a couple where it feels like one clearly likes the other more and the other doesn't realize their own feelings until like the final episode. Or when both like each other, but horrible communication, assumptions, and jealousy keep them apart and causes dumb drama. But here, we have two reincarnated lovers who're devoted to each other right off the bat. They just want to be happy together and make each other happy. They communicate, listen, and understand each other. Any drama that comes their way isn't a result of one or both of them being stupid, but just the circumstance of the plot.

2. Secret Crush on You
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
Honestly, the first few episodes left a poor first impression. Initially, I had zero faith that this couple would be anything more than groan worthy. But I stuck with it and here I am about to label the main couple in SCOY among my all-time favorites. What I love about them is that they're both equally obsessed with each other. You have a low-key stalker and a very horny man with a stalker-fetish. The stalker ironically ends up being the one pursued, but he ain't complaining because it's by the man of his dreams. These two are weirdos...and I love them! What's funny is, despite their "odd" personalities that would usually make them problematic on other shows, they somehow manage to be one of the most loving and consensual couples I've seen in a long time. Also, they know how to communicate and resolve any issues between them quickly. Thank God!

3. 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii
Japanese Drama - 2020, 12 episodes
I mean...they're just wholesome as hell, aren't they? They never even kiss, and yet they're amazing together.
