WHAT IS BL?

The journey of entertainment for each one of you is different, for some people it’s just to kill time but for some people, it’s their way to earn money and for some legends, it’s their love life. This is my life story or probably my love story. Movies and series were always a great part of my life.  That’s the time I watched 2gether. It was the opening door to the world of BL (boy love).

 I didn’t know that in this world there was only an entry point and no exits. I am writing this blog because every time I tell someone about it I feel like an alien who talks about random things that people wouldn’t understand. I want people to know exactly what BL is for me. Let me explain first what is BL? They are a set of series & movies that talk about gay relationships. 2gether was my first experience or the doorway to the world of fantastic love stories. 

I felt the love from these BL series that I never felt from humans around me. My comfort zone was causing me to stay in the virtual state. I knew the reality I can’t stay for a long. This was the time my first series was over and it broke my heart, I was new to this and I didn’t know what to do for the first time I was feeling something that bitter. with that pain I felt like Devdas I was in the search for the cure to that pain for the next three days as Devdas found Chandramukhi  I found Thatntype another hit series played by these great actors that made me wonder what more does this world holds. I went one from another and then another. I explored more about the international fan community and I got to know that I am just a small cell in this world. The Thai series was not the only one in the market, the variety I found was huge for me these are just some of the Philippines, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Taiwan, and many more.

 

One day I realized how I have changed totally from being a social person to becoming less interactive with humankind because the world I was in was magic. Whenever I have to face reality it was bitter and ugly just like a prison. I used to avoid going outside because all I saw was sadness and the harsh truth about pandemics ruining people’s lives. Out of curiosity, I decided to make a list of series I had watched in 6 months. The results were surprisingly less than I thought they were 78 series and all of them were BL from every corner of the world. The count has gone up to 200 and it will increase. 

People call it an addiction, a pathetic lifestyle but for me, it was as comforting as a home. It gave me all the love I needed and all the comfort I needed during the pandemic. For you, it might be a stupid addiction story but for me, it’s my love story ️
