your_favourites | Challenge #148

Ooooh, definitely a theme after my own taste! I hope you like it, too!

BL (short for "boylove") is the usual abbreviation for m/m pairings in Asian dramas. I'm not going to restrict this challenge to Asian dramas only, though. If you're not a fan of Asian drama, Western shows are also fine to use here.

Every live action show with a main m/m pairing counts. It doesn't have to be the only pairing, but the pairing must be between two of the main characters, and one of the main plotlines has to be about their romance (think e.g. Hit the Floor). As always with the "show" category, BBC mini series count, soap operas count. Movies don't count. Animated shows don't count either, this time, because we'll have a separate challenge for those in the future. So only live action shows.

I'm not going to be strict concerning the explicitness of the pairings. There are some shows that market themselves as BL in which the protagonists don't do so much as kiss, and then there's the whole cdrama censorship issue where shows are based on m/m novels but don't admit it. Drawing the line between these is not what I want to do. So those all count!

What doesn't count is is slash pairings (like Merlin, SPN, Star Trek, etc etc etc), or "perceived" m/m where one of the leads is actually female but disguised as a man and the audience knows it (e.g. Bromance or Sungkyungkwan Scandal). If in doubt, please ask.
