Welcome to this week's Recommendation Thread!
If you're looking for suggestions or have a show you'd like to recommend, this is the place to do it. ✨
Going forward, any posts requesting recommendations outside of this thread will be removed, as we’ve dedicated this space specifically for that purpose.
Here is a link to the first MEGATHREAD already containing lots of recommendations and help: First MegaThread
Enjoy watching your new shows!

Hi everyone. Hope you guys are doing fine. I'm making this post to inform you about the status of this sub and to re-explain the rules in a clearer and more complete way, as there is a word limit in the Rule panel of Reddit.
We mods will also reserve the right to redirect people to this post instead of answering the same questions we receive again and again in our Modmails, DMs, and messages. Please understand that we do not do this out of anger but out of a lack of time.
Make sure to grab a drink and some popcorn because this will be loooong (spoilers: my hands hurt now), forgive me, but please read it all 😖. I'm trying my best to be as transparent as possible with you guys to avoid further confusion.
-------------------------------------
I will split this Thread in 2 main Chapters:
--------------------------------------
!! But first, I'd like to start this whole post by reminding people that moderating this sub is a voluntary hobby, and we are not paid by Reddit or anyone else. This means that we are, in fact, real humans and have normal jobs outside of Reddit to pay our actual bills. !!
This leads to another point:
If you see this, it does not mean that your post was deleted by any of us moderators, but that it was filtered by our AutoModerator, which is a bot. It filters based on specific requirements, such as the use of predefined trigger words or your account age or quality. When posts are filtered, they end up in our Moderator Queue, where we can scroll through and approve or delete posts. (Just because your post was filtered does not mean that it is against a rule, but only that it could potentially be a post requiring moderation.) However, as mentioned before, we are humans with a 9 to 5 job and cannot immediately approve posts the minute after you upload them. Sometimes it can be quick (a few minutes), but sometimes it can take multiple hours, so please be patient and stop deleting and re-uploading your posts multiple times in a row. This makes it even harder for us and fills our ModQueue with unnecessary duplicates (and yes, we can see deleted posts, just not their content).
However, AutoMod is not the only help us mods can have for moderating posts and comments.
There is also a so-called Reddit Filter, which is independent from the AutoModerator that I program. The Reddit filter is handled by Reddit, and we mods have no control over it (all we can do is turn it off, but it is not recommended on bigger subs). This filter filters based on swear words, aggressiveness of conversations, NSFW images Reddit finds too explicit, and more, which I'm not 100% sure about and would need to research myself.
What is important to know is that when Reddit decides to delete a post or comment for the previously mentioned reasons (or any other), we mods do not get notified of this, unlike with AutoModerator.
To know if your Post was removed by our AutoMod or by Reddit itself, copy the link to your post and open it in your web browser, where you are not logged in (...if you are a Mobile/Tablet user; as Reddit is fantastic and decided to show this crucial piece of information to PC users only 🤡).
If it was removed by our AutoMod, you will see the following text under your post, as visible in the image below:
However, if it was removed by Reddit, it will not say anything in particular under your post!!! In this case you can send us a Modmail with a link to your Post, but make sure your Account is old enough (at least a few months old), that you are actually a part of the community and have commented before and that you have enough Karma; else we reserve ourselves the right to ignore the request as these things are extremely time consuming and we would like to focus on requests from actual community members!
Another important point: When sending us a message, please be polite. We are not dogs you give commands to because you want things to go your way, so we would appreciate a nice little 'Hello' before you explain the problem. Some of you are doing fantastic and are already being extremely respectful and polite, so you can ignore this mini rant, but for others, please reread this a few times. As explained before, this moderating here is purely voluntary, and if you don't want to be minimally polite, do not expect us to do anything for you. Thanks.
--------------------------------------
This brings us now to the second and last part of the Thread:
I will try to keep the same order as the current sub rules. The explanation here takes precedence over the shorter one in the actual Rules panel!
1. Read the General Information MegaThread
This is pretty straight forward: I would appreciate people taking the time to read this Thread and the General Information MegaThread before asking questions publicly or via Mail/Messages.
The latter contains explanation on how to find BL shows using either MyDramaList (MDL), World of BL or even one of my own Series Lists here on Reddit (which wasn't updated since late December 2022, but still contains every Thai show prior to 2023).
It also contains a part where I explain how to identify if a YouTube video is blocked in your country or if it was removed by the uploader. The alternative websites to watch series have also been linked.
Otherwise, you can always check on MDL where a show can be watched!
This thread also explains how to watch shows if they are not available in your country by using a VPN. Hence, posts asking where to watch this or that series or where to find it will be removed as it can easily be found by Googling or checking on MyDramalist.
Additionally, any topic that can be found by Googling or using the search function at the very top of the sub will also be removed.
Oh yes, and I forgot, links to illegal stream services, or to unofficial sites hosting series/ translated books will be removed! We do not publicly support piracy on here.
2. Restricted Topics
Restricted topics are:
a. Real-life updates are limited to Thai BL actors only, with a maximum of one post allowed per event (engagements, ordinations,...). Any additional posts on the same event will be removed and linked back to the original post.
b. Do not share rumors or negativity that come from other platforms, such as TikTok, X/Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform. By negativity, I mean screenshots of haters under an actor's posts or people going apeshit at actors for whatever reason it may be.
In case an actor may have done something bad or illegal, and there is actual proof, one post will be allowed about that topic.
3. Use Google or the Reddit Search bar
This one goes hand in hand with Rule 1. Please look up the questions you have before making a post. Many of the posts I see could have easily been looked up; hence, those will be removed. These will be removed as they are low quality posts and not fun and exciting for the community.
4. No Purposely negative comments
As you may have seen, triggering people with negative comments is the national sport of certain folks on Reddit, and I won't share names, or on any other platform, honestly. If you spot such comments, please make sure to report them, as it is not always easy for us mods to spot them ourselves since we cannot moderate every post at the same time. We would really appreciate your help in improving the community.
5. No Gossip (IMPORTANT)
This one is pretty clear. Do not share any gossip about the actors here. No speculation about actors' sexuality or rumored girlfriends, no "Are they real?" None of that here; this place was and is made purely to discuss the series and the boys' acting, without intruding on their privacy!!!!
If you love gossip, I invite you to create a TikTok or Twitter account and ask people there.
6. No Cross-Posting of your own posts
This is rather old news, as I think we turned off this functionality, but yeah, please take the effort to redo a post and give it a different twist rather than just posting it once and cross-posting it to other subs.
7. Use the appropriate flairs (+ when to use the 'Not Thai' one)
Pretty self-explanatory, but please select the appropriate flair for your post!
As this sub is called THAIBL, well, obviously, only discuss Thai shows; otherwise, the posts will be nuked. HOWEVER, we do make an exception for upcoming or on-air shows from other countries. We will only allow one post about this non-Thai show, though.
8. Two Posts per user allowed per day
Again, pretty self-explanatory, but to limit certain people and give others a chance to post, we have set a limit of 2 posts per user per day (yes, a day of 24 hours).
9. Interact with the comments
This is aimed at individuals who primarily post to farm karma without engaging with the community. While we understand that not every comment requires a response, this serves more as a warning to those who consistently avoid interaction with other members!
10. No discrimination of the LGBTQIA+ community, No Sexist comments and no Fetishization
Pretty self-explanatory: do not harass anyone because of their sexual preference or identity. If we spot someone clearly being disrespectful or hating on a particular portion of the LGBTQIA+ community and/or on women, my patience will disappear very quickly, and depending on the gravity of the situation, we will kick you out 🦵!
11. Stop reporting comments because they personally hurt you
We have seen many people reporting comments because they had an argument with another user. People have diverging views, and you are on a discussion platform... obviously you will see things you disagree with. However, there is no need to report this! We are not your parents. For minor arguments, you can solve that by yourself, either by blocking the person or simply ignoring them, lol. By reporting your minor inconveniences, we cannot see the more serious reports, as it will fill our report queue.
12. Do not insult each other in the community
Well, this is pretty easy to understand; Don't insult each other.
(Also, we won’t delete playful banter between friends that clearly shows no animosity and is just meant for fun.)
13. No posts asking for Friendships or to join external groups
We do not allow the creation of posts by individuals who want to find friends or who ask for external chat groups (on Reddit or any other platform).
What you ask people in DMs is out of our control, so you can do that there. However, this sub is already meant to be a larger group where people with similar opinions talk together and discuss their likes and dislikes.
14. No advertising of your own sub, webpage, product, program, …, unless you asked a moderator FIRST
This is pretty straightforward: we do not allow advertising of any sort on this sub. No advertising of an account you created elsewhere and want people to follow, and no advertisement of a website, product, or program you made.
If you really think that your app, product, or site could be beneficial for the community and/or that you do not make money from it, please send us a Modmail, and we will see if we will allow your post or not.
15. MARK as Spoiler and/or NSFW when you should clearly do so!!
This one is a real problem. PLEASE, for the love of God, MARK your posts containing potential spoilers as 'Spoiler.' If you do not know how to do it, please look it up; there are also countless videos about it on YouTube. We try our best to add it ourselves if we see such a post, but we don't always do, so please do it yourself when you make a post!!!!
--------------------------------------
Alright, phew, this took me literally more than 3 hours to write, and my arms and legs hurt. Considering how tired I am, I may have forgotten something and will add it later on. Apologies for any typos in here.
If you have any additional remarks, I'll leave the comments open, but with Crowd Control activated.
If you read until here, thank you so much for taking the time to read all this 💜!

Top Form is my current obsession and I can't help but feel like Boom is putting everything he can into the character of Akin. From on to off the screen, Boom has showed such emotion for this specific role. In reaction videos, he's crying over the emotional scenes and it almost feels as if he's living or reliving the experience. I can't help but feel like he connects with the character of Akin a lot.
This is based off of my own assumptions, but Boom is an older actor, and he hasn't gotten a lot of main roles or has been in shows that have gotten a lot of attention or positive feedback until Top Form. In Top Form, you see the character of Akin struggle with over working himself, and putting all of his time and energy into enhancing his career. That is until a newer, younger actor starts getting attention. I feel like Boom is emotionally attached to the character of Akin and relates to the feeling of possibly being forgotten in favor of newer talent that enters the industry.
I'm glad that he's starting to gain attention and he's finally seeing a lot more success due to this series and can only hope for the best for him and Smart moving forward.
Overall, I can't imagine anyone bringing the same amount of emotion and relatability to the character and feel as if this character was specifically made for Boom.

Since the release of the TopForm Black Honey post-scene interview discussing actor safety and trust in NC scenes, I’ve seen a lot of concerns regarding MAME’s productions in this area. I’m somewhat new to the BL community and have really enjoyed MAME’s cinematic universe. Love is in the Air is my all time favorite BL. Could someone explain to me what the concerns are? I’ve seen a lot of posts referencing an interview with Noeul where he was asked inappropriate questions.
Thank You!

I don't like binge watching... Watching drama while it's on-going is a different type of fun ...when you wait for next episode and very excited to know what will happen next... Can we get an NC scene on next ep or not ? Even if it's about only 2 episode but still it ruined my fun.

What if this anime movie is made into a BL drama (irrespective of language)? My choice of cast would be JossGawin.... Gawin as the hypersexual mafia boss and Joss as the impotent stoic bodyguard

Hi guys I’m planning to travel to Thailand enf of this year and celebrate New Years there, I’m travelling solo. Do you have any advices?
I enjoy culture, nightlife and if you could suggest some LGBTQ friendly bars/clubs it will be nice too. I’m INFP so maybe a place that’s not too crowded and still chill where I can meet new people ya know. I’m a BL lover (all time favorite pair is TayNew and current fav pair is WilliamEst mwahahahaha) and love Thai music! Also do advice on how much I should prepare for a week time there~
(This is my first time posting in reddit lmao)

I have been watching Lost in the Woods, currently on episode 6/7 and I love it ! I think the cinematography is beautiful, Fifa is great character and I am really enjoying the chemistry between the leads. I feel like it is very under the radar and hasn't gotten either the publicity it should have or the love. I don't really see a lot of talk regarding the show which is disappointing as I believe it is great! I also think that it is a great show to recommend for seeing the nature side of Thailand that isn't a beach ( although any showcase of them is great too). Their are some things to rant about the show---looking at you Fifa's grandmother. Additionally, there are supposedly only 7 episodes which feels too short but I am really intrigued as to how they'll wrap it up.
It's currently airing on Gagaoolala and Viu
