Underrated Chinese Drama- Winter Begonia

Image
  Winter Begonia (2020) Now, I've seen many underrated dramas, some of them are gaining recognition and some aren't. This baby here is a mainland-china drama. Though it's a bit lengthy, most of the dramas from there are, you can't blame them. But the length of a drama mustn't hold viewers from watching them. I know masterpieces when I see them, and this one here is one heck of a series. Aired in March 2020, this wonderful drama is adapted from a BL novel! But of course, since it's from mainland China it is stripped off of its main BL elements and has quite some alterations. But who can blame the homophobic government? Oh wait- we can. But let us not get into criticizing here. We are here to appreciate this series. A story that revolves around a Peking opera performer and a wealthy businessman who are brought together by their love for Peking opera. Set in the 1930s, it follows Shang Xirui, a Peking opera performer who relies on his exceptional talent to gain fam...

The BL genre as we all know is getting pretty popular among the masses. Some people may admit it, while some may watch it in secret. But anyway they are contributing to the view count so it doesn't really matter. Just a disclaimer:- Everything that I write here is just my opinion and can vary from person to person. Feel free to drop in any suggestions about the same in the comment section.  So, as decided, today I'm going to be sharing my list of TOP 15 Asian BL Dramas released to date.

By the way, the synopsis for each series will just be copy-pasted from My Drama List or Dramacool [mostly the latter], since I don't know how to write one properly, trust me. If I start writing about the story then we'll be here for weeks.  15. You Make Me Dance Song Shi On is a university student who is majoring in contemporary dance.

Otaku to Fujoshi; Big-time Changes.

 Honestly, this is my first time blogging and I don't know a thing about it. But I want to keep learning more about it from your side. I would surely appreciate the help. Currently, I'm mostly a fujoshi and am writing a book with a BL theme. The sudden hype for this genre began during the pandemic of 2020, but since 2018-19 we could see the growth of BLs and other LGBT+ content throughout the world. I don't know what caused this sudden hike in people's interest in BLs but I can surely tell you mine. Before I started being a full-time BL fangirl, I was a huge anime fan. The transition started in March 2020. I cannot call myself an otaku 'cause I haven't watched 'the league players' of anime. I mean to say the ones that made it big worldwide. Of course, I've watched Dragon Ball Z , Naruto (honestly not a big fan of Boruto), Pokemon , and other classics. But except those, I mostly prefer tv series or series that are short and easy to complete in a 1-w...
