Boys Love series to add to your watch-list

Homoerotic dramas always have our attention.

Boys Love content is generally used to describe literature or media - initially aimed at an Asian audience - that focuses on the tension between to male leads. The sexual tension isn't always explicit, but it's generally pretty undeniable.

While we've seen countries such as China being forced to cut back on their production of Boys Love stories - due to interventions by the censorship authorities - production houses in Thailand and South Koria are pumping out queer-ish series for an appreciative audience across the region and around the world.

If this is the kind of thing that you like to watch, here's some of the recent Boys Love series that you might want to have on your radar.

 

BL, which means Boys Love, is a genre of literature and media that depicts a romantic plot involving two male characters.
