Top Taiwanese BL Dramas

A few standouts worth your time

About Youth (2022) kicks things off with a classic enemies-to-lovers setup — a star student runs for class president against a quiet noodle-stall worker who moonlights as a band frontman.

HIStory (2017–2022) is the franchise that built Taiwan’s BL reputation, spanning five anthology seasons — from body-swap romance to a gripping crime-boss love story in HIStory 3: Trapped.

Kiseki: Dear to Me (2023) flips the script with a top student nursing an injured gangster back to health, only for old underworld ties to threaten their new bond.

My Tooth Your Love (2022) is a sweeter, slower burn — a dental-phobic bar owner falls for his calm, caring dentist, while a subplot follows a bartender and his much-younger love interest.

See Your Love (2024) injects action into the genre: a reluctant heir targeted by an assassin ends up falling for his hearing-impaired caregiver, while the assassin develops his own unexpected romance.

Unknown (2024), based on a novel by Priest, follows a young man raising his siblings alone — until his adopted brother’s sudden kiss changes everything.

Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars (2026), the newest entry, takes a fantastical turn with a wish-driven identity swap and a long-lost love resurfacing.

This wave of Taiwanese BL content sits within the broader growth of the Boys Love genre, which originated in Japanese media and has since become a global streaming phenomenon.
