Once you get hooked on a BL couple, you want more. And if the BL Gods are listening, you don't just get more, you get variety.
With Force and Book, we've seen them be secret admirers (Enchante), have a cute workplace romance (A Boss and a Babe), and even cheat on each other (Only Friends).
But if a mutual needed an introduction to this pairing...
tell me your top 3 bl pairs plsss, an explanation on why or what your fav series of theirs would also be very welcome if you choose to include 🧡
hi nonny!
I'm assuming by bl pairs you mean actor pairs and not on-screen couples? if so then here are my top 3:
FirstKhao - what can I say they're my babes lol their chemistry is above all others imo, they work as a team and no matter what they do, they're in it together. they have a very healthy and wholesome friendship and you can tell they know, understand & respect each other deeply which results in a fantastic acting game & an undeniable on-screen connection. 14/10. favorite show: The Eclipse & Only Friends (can't pick one rn)
.
OffGun - the OGs, the legends, the dads lmao. How can you not love them. They've been around for ages and they still deliver, they have an incredible range and (almost) all of their shows slap lol. Not Me was a cultural reset and CC quickly became one of my favorite shows of 2023, only 5 episodes in lol. favorite show: Not Me.
.
JaFirst - they used to be a bigger deal back in 2021 than they are now but I still love them dearly lol. They parted ways with MMY pretty quickly after DSN aired and chose to do their own thing which I respect a lot lol. DSN is still one of my all-time favorites and their comeback show last year was super precious. To me they have an amazing chemistry (and they get brownie points for being the absolute sweetest when I met them) and even though they might not make a return I will cherish them in my heart forever 🥹🫶🏻 lol.
I have a lot of other pairs that share the 2# and #3 spot but for the sake of this ask I picked the most solid ones lol.
I have to take a little break from my Byler theme because I just finished Love In the Air and episode 13 in particular threw me from wall to wall - I wanted to scream especially in this scene - 😥😭
Sky is my baby and he deserves the best of everything 🥹
But this is cinema for me ⬆️ Both their acting was amazing and I’m just speechless for this 👏🏻👌🏻
A little warning 🚨: I must say that it contains +18 scenes for those who are considering watching the series.
I don't know...7 episodes into Cooking Crush and I'm just not feeling it.
Even though I love OffGun (on and off screen), the only thing keeping me coming back is that I've never seen Aungpao before, and I'm hoping he wins Neo's character over.
And makes him suffer. 😈
Lol oh my god I just realized their couple name is Dynamite x Fire.
Too bad Aungpao is 17. The only thing that'll explode between those two on screen is Fire's internalized homophobia.
A lot of these posts are dated, because pairs have broken up and things move fast the the entertainment industry. But since were were talking TayNew and Cherry Magic recently....

As of end of 2022 the oldest still active pairs are...
KarnNat (origin Grey Rainbow, latest Dear Doctor) - they cobrand only when they have a show and don’t feed shippers, CURRENT MONARCHS*
BoomPeak (origin Make It Right, latest 7 Project) - they don’t actively cobrand and never feed shippers
MaxTul (origin Bad Romance, latest Manner of Death) - champions (and origin) of Thai BL IRL ships
OffGun (origin Puppy Honey, latest Not Me) - announced Cooking Crush for 2023
TayNew (origin Kiss, latest Dark Blue Kiss) - announced Cherry Magic for 2023
All these pairs started in 2016, some of them as side couples. I consider the oldest established pair to have completed a recent BL the reigning Kings, as of typing in Dec 2022 that’s KarnNat.
Which couple do you think has the best on screen chemistry from any bl series. Regardless of how good or rubbish the storyline was which couple made you believe that they actually wanted to be a couple in the series?
hi anon!
it's hard to pick just one so here are the ones I think had a chemistry that made me believe they're in love lol (in no particular order):
Shuyi / Shide (We Best Love)
SibGene (Lovely Writer)
AkkAye (The Eclipse)
SeoJoon / Jiwoo (To My Star)
SaifahZon (Why R U)
there are probably a few more but these are the ones that come to mind first. what they have and brought to the screen is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
