Too much time on my hand under lockdown… So I started doing some research on how Chinese audiences rate Thai BL dramas based on the Douban ratings 豆瓣評分, the Chinese equivalent to the Rotten Tomatoes scores… This is by no means an exhaustive list, only the shows I managed to find or know of, but it will give an indication of how popular these shows are. I have also included a list of upcoming BL series set to premiere for the later part of the year or early next year. At the bottom of this post are some trailers.
