Plus & Minus - Tumblr Posts
Plus & Minus just ended and I have to say, there are very few, if any, Taiwanese BLs that I haven’t enjoyed! The most recent, prior to P&M was DNA Says Love You. These series are more understated, more thoughtful, and very fresh, and I would compare them more to Korean BLs than to Thai BLs, (but oftentimes with better sex, or certainly deeper kisses)! Don’t miss them! I, also, appreciate the fact that Taiwan studios don’t force fake relationships onto their actors, or make them do all kinds of appearances together.
Honorable mention, here, to 49 Days With a Merman, which isn’t a true BL, but more like a “Buddy” series.
Addendum: About Youth!
Here is a, not-so-complete, list of Taiwanese BL series:

This list has GROWN since this original posting; it has also changed and evolved.
For someone who can't communicate their feelings well, I get really angry when characters don't communicate their feelings
I’ll stay at your place for the next few days, then.

Zeshou: Time to squish Fu Ligong’s face
This is our first official day of dating
Plus & Minus | Episode 08
Ligong and Zeshou watching series together as friends vs as boyfriends
“Fu Ligong. As long as I live, I will never forget about your love.”
I do like the implication of the trailer for next week that Li Gong was like, okay I can break up with him for reasons but we have to still be best friends. And the second he finds out he’ll lose Ze Shou completely he books it at top speed.
Yet another week where all Fu Ligong wants are snuggles but all he gets are struggles :(((
