Random Ramblings on BL Dramas – PlutoCharon 星軌
PlutoCharon 星軌 is a 4-episode (?) Chinese BL series which will premiere on October 19, 2025. There is very little information about the drama, except that it will be on the Thai’s MFlow YouTube Channel and it looks like a low budget series from the trailer. The airing schedule is also confusing, it shows only 4 episodes and the 4th episode will air on November 9, 2025, but curiously there is an episode preview on November 13, 2025 which I presume is a preview for Episode 5?

Random Ramblings on BL Dramas – Forbidden & Captivity 顧禁南囚
Forbidden & Captivity | Gu Jin Nan Qiu 顧禁南囚 (some social media posts also called it Bound by Fate) is a 12-episode short-form (about 5-6 minutes per episode) Chinese BL series which was supposed to premiere on October 7, 2025 (promoted as airing on bilibili domestically in China and YouTube internationally), but it actually dropped its first episode on October 11, 2025 on YouTube, and I couldn’t find it on bilibili (only teasers and BTS, can’t find episode 1)! First of all it is already weird to hear a BL airing on bilibili in China? Seriously if it can air on bilibili, then it can only be bromance and not BL? Unless it is only on the international branch of bilibili, and NOT on their domestic platform? However it is tagged as BL on their YouTube channel! So go figure, LOL…

Desire 垂涎 (Chinese Series OST)
Desire The Series 垂涎 is a 16-episode Chinese BL series with ABO theme which will premiere on July 12, 2025. The series was teased more than a couple of years ago being the first ever ABO BL series… but since they took so long to make because I think when they announced it they haven’t even written (or just starting to write – in early 2023) the novel yet which the series was going to adapt from, LOL, that in the meantime there were other ABO-theme BL series already aired!

Before you continue reading, there are very frightening happenings in China right now regarding danmei (BL) writers. The news about the arrest of danmei writers has been percolating since the end of last year, but it seems it is now spreading across China, very sad… Very hypocritical to target the individuals while letting the international branch of their big corporate media companies to broadcast BL dramas outside China… Well, you know what because they make money, while the helpless individuals who write those stories are being jailed…
