We’re All Soft-Hearted 我們都心軟 – KU 古曜威
This is a Taiwanese BL music video from last year that I meant to watch after seeing the preview but then totally forgot about it until a couple of days ago when it popped up again as a YouTube recommendation. The MV came out on August 25, 2020, and then followed by a 20-minute mini-movie to complement the MV that premiered on September 29, 2020. This will make you cry so stay away if you only want sweet and happy BL!

Unbridled (Audio Drama “Xiao Zhang” OST) 廣播劇《囂張》主題曲
Xiao Zhang 囂張 is another BL novel written in 2019 by Wuzhe 巫哲, of Saye 撒野 fame. Xiao Zhang 囂張 means arrogant, but the English translated novel is titled Unbridled. This is another heart warming BL novel that I also loved. I first read the novel at the end of last year after I had read Saye, but at the time there was no audio drama yet, only a fanfic song for the novel that was released in early 2020 called Running Towards 奔向. The first season of the audio drama was first podcast starting in early May this year, and so we’ve now got the theme song for the novel, this may prompts me to read the novel again, hehe… Also if you haven’t read the novel and are wondering about the drone as featured in the MV, it is a major part of the story.

Love at the End of the World (Filipino Webdrama OST)
Love at the End of the World is an upcoming Filipino BL series. No premiere date has been announced yet (Update December 23, 2021: This series will premiere on December 30, 2021) but they have been putting out a lot of teasers lately and it looks like it is not going to be the ubiquitous innocent BL series we are used to, but more an 18+ TV series, or even more closer to a LGBTQ series than a BL series… It is an original series from GagaOOLala but I am not sure if it is part of their 10-film Queer Up The Volume series since they did not tag it as such? Anyway a song has been released from the OST and here it is…

Random Ramblings on BL Dramas (Part 6) – Best of 2020-2021
Last year I did a post on the Douban ratings 豆瓣評分 of Thai BL dramas that had been aired up to about August of 2020. I am continuing the listing this year concentrating on the BL dramas that were broadcast from about June, 2020 to August 2021. This time I am including TV shows from other countries as well. Just a note that some of the new shows that are airing at the moment are still too new to get any ratings yet, so I have to leave those shows out of the current list. Again this is by no means an exhaustive list especially BL dramas from the Philippines and Vietname as I don’t really follow shows from these countries yet and also many of those shows are not known well enough to get any ratings at Douban, so only the shows I managed to find or know of, but it will give an indication of how popular these shows are.
