Missing Connecting To You? 5 BL Dramas With The Same Fated-Love Magic

Finished “Connecting to You” and already feeling the withdrawal? You’re not alone. Between Chia Kai’s magical relationship threads and his slow-burn romance with a skeptical police officer, this drama set a high bar for fated-love storytelling. Luckily, the BL drama genre is overflowing with shows that scratch the exact same itch — supernatural twists, soft romance, and a whole lot of heart.

Here are five BL Dramas worth adding to your watchlist right now:

1. La Pluie — Destiny, But Make It Rain

If it was the “fate-coded” magic of “Connecting to You” that hooked you, “La Pluie” delivers that same energy with a fresh spin. Set in Thailand, people in this world lose their hearing during rainfall — but gain a telepathic bond with their soulmate instead. Lead character Saengtai refuses to believe in destined love after watching his own “soulmate” parents separate, but he can’t escape the voice he hears every time it pours. What follows is a slow-burn story about choosing between fate and genuine connection. The chemistry between leads is easily one of the highlights, and the anticipated first meeting is worth the wait.

2. Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice But to Kiss! — Bad Luck Meets Good Comedy

Where Chia Kai’s good intentions constantly land him in absurd situations, “Mr. Unlucky” gives us Kota — a university student cursed with relentlessly bad luck. His life flips when he meets Shinomiya, a classmate blessed with the opposite fate. Convinced Shinomiya’s luck might rub off on him, Kota asks to stick close — only for Shinomiya to misread the request as romantic interest. What follows is a hilarious, heartwarming Japanese BL packed with laugh-out-loud misfortune and surprisingly sweet chemistry.

3. Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! — Office Romance With A Twist

Another magical lead, another delightful mess. Adachi gains the ability to read minds through touch upon turning 30 — the catch being the legend only applies if you’re still a virgin. When he accidentally discovers his popular coworker Kurosawa has a crush on him, his quiet, orderly life spirals into chaos. This office romance blends humor with genuine emotional depth, and despite multiple international adaptations, fans still consider the original Japanese version the gold standard.

4. See Your Love — Taiwanese Romance At Its Softest

For those craving more Taiwanese BL specifically, “See Your Love” nails the same healing, feel-good tone as “Connecting to You.” Wealthy heir Zi Xiang gets rescued from a street fight by a hearing-impaired stranger named Shao Peng — and later manipulates the situation to bring Shao Peng into his life as a live-in caretaker. What starts as a scheme slowly turns into a tender, character-driven romance about self-acceptance and unexpected connection.

5. Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars — Identity, Secrets, and Second Chances

This Taiwanese drama follows He Xiang Yong, who returns to his small hometown after failing in the city, only to make a wish that accidentally erases everyone’s memory of his face. Only his best friend recognizes him, letting him quietly build a new identity — until an old flame re-enters his life without realizing who he really is. Like “Connecting to You,” this drama thrives on its central best-friend duo and understated humor woven between deeper emotional beats.

Conclusion

Whether you’re chasing more magical realism, slow-burn chemistry, or just that signature “Connecting to You” comfort-watch feeling, these five dramas each bring something familiar yet distinct to the table. Pick whichever hook speaks to you most, and let the next binge begin.
