Hi! Thanks to your recs, I am currently going through Taiwanese BL and I am finding them to be my favorite BL producing country. I wanted to ask if Taiwan gives/has given a BL couple another series. I would really like to see another series for the main leads in WBL and SYAQ but I dont know how possible that is. I observed in Korea they do not give a new series to a couple (at least in kdrama) while in Thailand there is at least a chance if the series does well and the couple is open to another series. I also wanted to ask the same for Japan (my impression is that they are the same as Korea).
Thank you as always for your recs, news, and reviews!
Ah I have a blog post that touches on this:
BL Breakdowns by Country
each country's section talks about the likelihood of a 2nd installment from that country.
Can We Expect MORE of the same? 
Series? Same characters + same actors?  
Aside from WBL (which I think of as one series, and suspect was filmed back to back) Taiwan has never done a 2nd season. LOTS of cameos tho.
Japan = yes, but usually with their movies. Sometimes other weirdness like Ossan (same cast & story, different settings) or His (series + movie with all new cast) or Boy’s Love (sameish? characters, multiple realities) and Cherry Magic (series + movie). 
Korea = just Color Rush 2 so far, and historically they don't do season 2s with regular Kdramas (with a few noted exceptions) so its rare and unlikely: That said To My Star is getting a season 2 (also those leads have been in 2 other Kdrama’s together, not paired up) 
The Philippines & Vietnam = sometimes (Gameboys got a 2nd season and a spin-off GL series Pearl Next Door which itself is supposed to get a movie soon.
Thailand = more than they probubly should
Branded pairs doing a new series as new characters but the same actors: like OffGun and MaxTul? 
Taiwan has never done that, but I think they might. There was rumor that the leads from Trapped Jake & Chris outright said they’d be game for either a season 2 (or another series), and we all have hopes for Sam & Yu (WBL). I think having the SYAQ? boys show up in a cameo recently is a good sign that they’d be willing too, but that might be optimistic. 
Tumblr media
But Taiwan has neither the industry nor the funds to do very many BLs. So the stats are against us. 
I think, for various cultural reasons, that long running branded pairs will be highly unlikely from Korea (in the style we see from Thailand). Same characters and a season 2 is more likely, and that’s still unlikely. HOWEVER, it’s been announced that the pair from Kissable Lips will be in another BL together. There’s gossip I won’t go into with those actors that makes me not too surprised, but also cautiously optimistic this will actually happen. I think they are GREAT pair who bring good higher heat (for Korea) and I’d love to see them in a BL with an HEA. 
Tumblr media
Vietnam has done this, same actor pair in various series, quite a few times actually (for such a small industry). 
The Philippines has not done branded pairs, to my knowledge (but I am out of touch with the Pinoy stuff). 
Japan only for series or linked IPs. (So they are are playing the same characters or a variations on those characters in alternate timelines or realities - don’t ask.) 
Thailand, of course, started the madness.

Amended post-pub with info I was reminded about in the comments.

“I mean, it's people like us mingling with a bunch of cool street dancers. Just the thought of it makes me shudder...”
“[…] Then shall we go together?”
"What?”
“What?”

Recommendation for something to watch and complete on a off day? I am also off today. Something soft and full of love preferably....
10 Soft BL's to Binge In A Day
(Since I don't sleep and watch high speed I binge full length Thai BL but I'm assuming you want something shorter than that, so I've limited myself to a 5hr runtime.)
Tumblr media
1. Semantic Error (Korea Viki) - Sexy older boy discovers pouty younger boy has outed him as a slacker, starts out bullying him, accidentally falls madly in love. Korea hits it entirely out of the Parks by doing a university BL with everything we expect from BL just done exactly right. Korea's signature quality executed perfectly with added bonus good story, great pacing, stunning visuals, and fantastic chemistry. You cannot ask for more from a BL, let alone a KBL. Full review.
Tumblr media
2. Seven Days (Japan grey in 2 parts Seven Days: Monday - Thursday, Seven Days: Friday - Sunday) - one of the best live action yaoi mangas ever made. The leads have excellent chemistry although it’s low heat, there’s still more kisses than Cherry Magic. Popular first year Seiryo has a policy of going out with any girl who asks… for one week. On a lark, third year Yuzuru tests to see if that policy also applies to boys. Seiryo agrees that it does. Along the way they accidentally fall in love. All the angst is just teen confusion. 
Tumblr media
3. Our Dating Sim (Korea Viki) - I enjoyed every aspect from the casting to the very simple premise to the quietly smooth execution. Sure it’s very low stakes, but that makes it high domesticity and extremely warm and gentle. This is a fuzzy blanket of a story. Do we call this cozy BL? Why not? This one is going to live in my rewatch pile, I can tell already, and you know what’s best about it? Every single episode is in that pile. There’s no skipping with this one, it might be good natured and calmly sweet but it’s tight and the pacing is excellent. It perfectly suited KBL’s short-length tendencies. Full review.
Tumblr media
4. Light On Me (Korea Viki - Korea does an elegant pastiche of traditional live action yaoi but all tropes are cleverly deployed to bolster one of the most riveting love triangles ever put on screen… and I don’t like love triangles. LoM strategically tailors classic BL tropes to 2 different semes resulting in pristine pacing, plot, and character development, explicitly serving narrative (not just to tick boxes). LoM is a master class in this trope drops. (If you write fanfic or romance you should study this show.) Full review.
Tumblr media
5. Takara-kun and Amagi-kun (Japan Gaga & Viki) - I gnawed on my knuckles and squealed a lot with this show. Reserved cool kid who must learn to communicate to keep the tiny disaster nugget he’s madly in love with. It is beyond charming: soft and gentle, packed with cuteness and high school angst, thirst, & yearning. Was there plot? Not really. Was it emotionally tense and paced well enough for me not to notice? Absolutely. Did I enjoy the hell out of it? Oh yes. Full review.
Tumblr media
6. HIStory 2: Crossing the Line (Taiwan Viki) - super low stakes sweetest story of the bad boy who falls hard for the senior on the volleyball team and then works to earn his love. You know it’s Taiwan so the kisses are great but in this case it also ends well. Only trigger is that the side couple is the stepbrothers trope, and some don’t like that.
Tumblr media
7. Cherry Magic (Japan indie subbed) AKA Doutei dato Mahoutsukai ni narerurashii - the sweetest, fluffiest, most charming bit of adorable ever, full of found family and pastry and serious slapstick, the characters are utterly bonkers, but cute about it. 
Tumblr media
8. Wish You (Korea Netflix or Viki, you want the movie version) AKA WISH YOU: Your Melody in My Heart - low stakes high pining romance about a pianist who falls in love with a busker who is on his way to being the next big idol. 
Tumblr media
9. Restart After Come Back Home (Japan indie subbed or Gaga?) - this one is perfect if you just want a beautiful loving movie, and one that is well filmed and complex enough to appeal to those who don’t normally watch BL or romance (if you have a reluctant partner). 
Tumblr media
10. You Are Ma Boy (Vietnam YouTube) - is there angst? Nope even what could have been angst (a gay idol) doesn’t materialize, it’s just cuties in a cafe confusing each other with cat & mouse games. The side het couple is a touch disturbing, tho. 
Also Old Fashioned Cupcake, it's a bit more complicated than soft but a FANTASTIC binge watch.
(list updated May 2023, not responsible for ones that come after that date)
