About this archive
Web series are made for the internet first, which makes them the easiest door into BL from anywhere in the world. They come from Korea, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore and Hong Kong, and GagaOOLala and YouTube carry a huge share of them.
Runs are usually short, studios are often small, and you are more likely to pick a show by its premise or country than by its famous cast. That is part of the charm: there is always something new to discover.
Filipino favourites like Gameboys, Hello Stranger and Boys’ Lockdown sit next to Vietnamese shows like Fools and My Goofy Deskmate, Korea’s Just Friend and The Lie We Lived In, Singapore’s Getaway and the GL titles Khom Khlang, Blank and Don’t Say No Yet. My tip: open YouTube, grab a snack and start with
Boys’ Lockdown. Short episodes, big feelings, and you can finish it before your tea goes cold.
