Thai BL, or Boys Love, entered the picture, a craze something worth putting our attention to.

The genre, also called yaoi, originated in Japan in the ‘70s, created by women through manga comics that depict attraction between males for women consumption. But it was Thailand that cemented its name to global success—the release of numerous BL series in recent years ignited interest in this genre.

Check out these five Thai BL series that will get you hooked.

1. 2gether: The Series.
The ongoing series follows college freshman Tine who seeks for school heartthrob Sarawat’s help to keep an insistent admirer out of his way through a fake relationship show. But playing pretend doesn’t last long, and soon, the two find themselves growing closer. 

2. SOTUS.
Head hazer Arthit meets first year student Kongpob, who begins a series of protests against the SOTUS system of the engineering department from the initial assembly. As the semester goes on, however, the battle gradually turns to a more affectionate route—ensuing a relationship that’s beyond their roles as each other’s junior and senior.
