Thai series/special I've watched:
~2018:
Love by chance --- there are 14 episodes in this first season. I've only watched until episode 9, and after that only some cuts and clips. I think this is a perfect BL for audience in their late teens and in their twenties. It is very sweet and makes you want to fall in love. 
~2017:
Sotus the series (season 1) --- the most balanced BL I've ever watched
Two Moons (season 1) --- marunong padin pala ako kiligin haha cuteness
Bad Romance (only the BL cuts in each episode) - I heart the actors on this; I can't believe I watched it almost a year after it aired
Together with me (prequel of Bad Romance) --- Tul and Max have the best chemistry in all BL series/movies I've watched; the cute lovey moments in BR and TWM are gems
~2016:
Love Sick the Series and Love Sick Season 2 --- not perfect but this is one of the best watching experience ever; a series I didn't want to end. huhu; first BL series I've watched that's why this will always be legendary to me.
Ugly Duckling: Perfect Match
Ugly Duckling: Boy's Paradise --- LGBT part wasn't handled well. esther's acting is cute. i watched until the end just for the sake of finishing it.
Wifi Society: Gray Secret
Change
Gay Ok Bangkok (season 1)
Diary of Tootsies (season 1) --- so funny and written well :) (here in my country, gays characters have been on tv&movies for decades that's why I was wondering why there wasn't something like this that was ever produced here?) (I haven't watched season 2 yet because I am not satisfied with the subbed version that I found)
Make it right (season 1) --- cute & good young actors ^^ and it is so cute and refreshing how the CPs are very honest and vocal with their feelings; but imo the characters of the story are not that three-dimensional?; Peak and Boom, not even 16 years old then, have such a good chemistry <333 (I've watched half of season 2 but sorry I really can't get past the remaining episodes and I don't want to figure out why

Thai movies I've watched:
~2018:
Suckseed --- 2011 youth oriented movie, I liked the funny moments
Malila: The Farewell Flower
~2017:
Summer to winter
Love love you
Bad Genius --- first Thai movie I've watched at the cinema. why our local movies can't have international release (and a blockbuster at that) like Thai movies :( (at this time it feels like we are experiencing their own version of hallyu wave because of their well-made movies and series; Japan, Korea and Thailand really gives priority in selling their culture/pop culture because their economy earns from it)
Love of Siam --- "the mother of all Thai BL"; watched this because of its 10 year anniversary (whaaat?! yes time flied surely fast) they say that it is the first mainstream film in Thailand with boys love theme that is not a transgender character and with a kissing scene. I think that is brave especially that time; but still played safe as with the Catholic faith of one of the boys. so this started all the popular and mainstream BL series and movies from Thailand now, and started the worldwide fandom we have now, and  influenced the Chinese in making these kinds too (?), because I think yaoi which started way before is not that mainstream.

~2016:
My Bromance
Love's Coming --- feels like the character of the lead got through the whole movie just smiling.
Red Wine in the Dark Night --- *spoiler* - the blood tasting scene (pig's, cow's, and chicken's) is unforgettable... lol
Tropical Malady --- the second part is a whole hour of chasing the tiger through the jungle. still one of my favorite movies though.
Uncle Boonmee who can recall his past lives - *spoiler* - the dinner scene with the ghost and the monkey with red eyes is one of the weirdest i've ever seen.
I Fine Thank You Love You --- slapstick comedy fillers are so bad.
ATM: Er Rak Error --- the combination of the romance part and the atm error part worked for me.
Blissfully Yours
Last Life in the Universe
The same is not the same (short film)
The Teacher's Diary --- *spoiler* - romcom where the two leads met only at the end, for me that is very original.
May Who?
How to win at checkers (Every Time)
Waterboyy --- Beam is so good at the last few minutes of the movie. There's something in his acting there that I haven't seen in other young Thai actors.
Freelance (Heart Attack)
The Blue Hour (Onthakan) --- what happened for real and what did not? someone please explain this to me... so confusing argh.
Love next door


~~ Prior to this, Yes or No 1 and 2, First Love (Crazy Little thing called Love), and Hello Stranger are the only Thai movies I have watched.
