How BL Dramas Went From Secret Fandom to Global Phenomenon

Описание: This video is a little personal for me.

I still remember the time when watching BL meant searching through random links, broken uploads, and blurry subtitles — and feeling lucky just to find one full episode.
So this video is my way of looking back at how far BL has really come.

From the quiet and emotionally heavy days of Love of Siam, to the moment BL finally became a real industry with SOTUS, and then suddenly turning global with 2gether: The Series — everything changed faster than we ever expected.

But this video is not only about popularity.

It’s about how BL slowly learned to grow up.
How stories moved away from jealousy, pressure and unclear boundaries…
and started making space for healthier relationships, softer communication and emotional honesty — like in Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!.
And how today’s BL can look bold, cinematic and much more open about real queer lives — like KinnPorsche The Series.

This isn’t about which show is better.
It’s about how the genre itself changed — and how we, as viewers, changed with it.

If you’ve been watching BL for a long time…
this video is for you.

And if you’re new here —
welcome to the journey.
