#01. Where Your Eyes Linger

 

    When I want to see an excellent friend-to-lover BL drama, I always turn to a great hit from 2020. Although this series may be classified as a boss-employee list, it also showed our main couple's strong relationship at the start of the story. Where Your Eyes Linger tells the story of Han Tae Joo, an 18-year-old student and successor to the TB Group, and Kang Gook, his lone companion and personal bodyguard. Their bond will be tested when a new female unexpectedly expresses interest in Kang Gook. How can Tae Joo deal with this when he has feelings for his own childhood friend?

#02. My Only 12%

 

    My Only 12%, which premiered in 2022, has quickly become one of my favorite shows owing to its story and actors. The main couple is truly attractive, and they are a visual treat everytime they appear on a screen. My Only 12% tells the story of Cake and Seeiw, who have been friends since childhood. The two have opposing personalities yet are always there to support one another. However, as people become older, their priorities and perspectives on each other shift. Will they ever get the chance to declare their love? My Only 12% is available for viewing on YouTube and iQiYi.

#03. Our Dating Sim

 

    Some of us have had experiences in the past when we revealed our affections to our best friends but were ultimately rejected, and this is partially true for our main character in this drama. This series was one of the most popular among fans on last year's list, so it is absolutely worth watching, especially for those looking for a lighthearted show. Our Dating Sim tells the story of Lee Wan, who has expressed his emotions for his buddy Shin Ki Tae. Lee Wan, unable to react, believed he had been rejected and ran from his friend for an extended period of time. Years later, Lee Wan attends a job interview only to discover that his future coworker is an old buddy. How would Lee Wan handle with this situation? Our Dating Sim is accessible for viewing on Viki and GagaOOLala.

#04. Cherry Blossoms After Winter

 

    If you're looking for fluffiness and a lovely story, this drama will undoubtedly provide. Our main couple in the series shines the brightest thanks to their chemistry, and their roles in this BL were fantastic. Cherry Blossoms After Winter narrates the story of Seo Hae Bom, who moved in with Tae Sung's family following his parents' death. The two grew apart as they grew older because Hae Bom believed he was inferior to Tae Sung. However, when they became classmates in high school, the two began to spend time together and fell in love. Will their blossoming connection impact their family? You can watch Cherry Blossoms After Winter on Viki, WeTV, and Apple TV.

#05. Cupid's Last Wish

 

    Our main couple's connection in this drama is a little more convoluted because they started out as friends and then became enemies before becoming an official couple. Earth and Mix's chemistry is among the greatest I've seen in the industry, and this show is no exception. Cupid's Last Wish chronicles the life of Korn and Win, childhood best friends. However, all turns chaotic when Win's father mentions Korn in his will, gifting him a portion of the family farm's stocks. This causes misunderstanding between the two, until Win is involved in an accident and experiences a body swap curse along with his sister. In order to return to their original bodies, Win, in the form of his sister, must go with Korn and gather holy water from four temples around the country in one week. Will they be able to complete their mission, or will their animosity get in the way? Cupid's Last Wish is available for viewing on YouTube.

#06. I Cannot Reach You

 

    This Japanese BL's story is well aligned with our topic because our main character has a secret crush on his childhood pal. It was one of the nicest things I saw last year, and seeing it transported me back to my high school days. I Cannot Reach You tells the story of two boyhood buddies, Yamato and Kakeru. One has an extroverted demeanor, whilst the other is a calm and intelligent guy that everyone likes. Although they have been together since childhood, it appears that they have never articulated their sentiments well. What happens if Kakeru discovers Yamato's emotions for him? I Cannot Reach You is available to stream on Netflix.

#07. DNA Says Love You

 

    This is without a doubt one of the most underestimated Taiwanese BL dramas of 2022, and fans could not be more enthusiastic about it. This BL has a unique plot twist in the story, and you'll really appreciate it. DNA Says Love You tells the story of three childhood friends — Le Chien, Xi Wen, and Yu He — who promised to remain together forever. However, they were unable to uphold their pledge when Le Chien and Xi Wen parted ways. Years later, Le Chien is battling to keep their adventure YouTube channel running, when he meets a fascinating man named Amber. What may be the secret underlying Amber's true agenda? DNA Says Love You is available for viewing on Viki, Apple TV, and GagaOOLala.

#08. Together With Me

 

    When discussing Friends to Lovers BL dramas, the iconic hit "Together with Me" will always be on our list. Although this series aired seven years ago, it nevertheless featured one of the hottest BL couples we've ever seen in the industry. Together With Me tells the story of childhood friends Knock and Korn as they rejoin in college. They enjoyed a wonderful friendship until one night, when they made love while inebriated. This leads to uncertainty between the two, especially as Knock had a girlfriend at the time and has affections for his best buddy. What would happen to their years-long friendship? Together With Me is available to stream on Netflix and YouTube.

#09. Don't Say No

 

    Remember the main enemy from TharnType Season 2? Fiat has its own story with Don't Say No. The main couple in this series has an abundance of chemistry, and there is also a side couple that piqued the interest of the audience. Don't Say No chronicles the life of two friends, Leo and Fiat. One is a decent person, and the other is labeled a bad lad. Will it be able to transform a naughty boy into his official lover? Just Say Yes was announced a few years later as a spin-off for Leon and Pob, but it never happened until now. Don't Say No is available for streaming on iQiYi, Viki, and GagaOOLala.

#10. I Told Sunset About You

It premiered in 2020 as one of the most talked-about and popular BL series, ushering in a new age of high-quality BL dramas. I Told Sunset About You tells the story of Teh and Oh, childhood buddies who became rivals after sharing dreams.
