This week on Series Sunday we're talking about the best little Taiwanese BL of 2021 - Innocent the Series. A part of GagaOOLala's Queer Up the Volume, this short series packs a ton of love, laughs, drama, and culture in just four episodes. And if you've ever wondered whether a side couple with just five minutes of screen time can make your heart sing, the answer is definitely yes. Oh, and we're definitely talking about Grandpa's dog exorcism. FOLLOW US FOR MAXINE APPRECIATION POSTS IG: @letstalk...

Talk about making an impression: this week we're joined by Run, who made his BL debut in TharnType as the K-Pop idol hopeful who sang and danced his way into our hearts. Since then, he's taken the lead in Second Chance the Series, continued to sing (this time with his brother!), and even started screenwriting. Not only is he mind-blowingly multitalented, he's also just really, really fun. As usual - our friend & favorite co-host William is on deck to translate. Run's Music Recommendations: แ...

We're finally taking on TharnType, and it's just as chaotic as you would imagine. MewGulf, Kaownah, JaFirst, and all of the boys in between - there's a lot to unpack here. This show was an absolute phenomenon and had an immense impact on the BL community internationally. Was it the show or the moment? What led to TharnType domination? It's that MewGulf magic, obviously. Thank you for coming to my Techno Talk. FOLLOW US FOR RICH BOY GLOW UP POSTS IG: @letstalkBL Twitter: @letstalkBL TikTok: @lets...

One-half Shinwoo, one-half Daon, one hundred percent Namgoong. This week we're debating the finer points of South Korea's most groundbreaking BL.

We first fell in love with Gameplay as the adorably shy chef Tops in Ingredients, and then he became our favorite vengeful ghost in He She It. Today he's talking all things BL, becoming a real-life chef-turned-actor (he graduated from a Le Cordon Bleu school!), and losing his phone daily. Plus, he drops some super exclusive info about an upcoming project and shares what it's like to play a completely new character on the currently airing series Bite Me (available now on Viki).

We're getting ghosted with Jeff Satur and Gameplay on this week's episode of Series Sunday. He She It - one of the best and first horror BLs - is short but wildly impactful from start to finish.

Evan Luo barged into our hearts as the ever-supportive (and endlessly mischievous) Bing Wei and became a fan-favorite after word got out that he took part in writing WeiYu fanfic. Today he's talking all things We Best Love including the infamous fanfic, the suits, and the loves. Plus, we dig into BL as a subculture and end with some highly chaotic Taiwanese food talk. p.s. Let's Talk BL is now OFFICIALLY Evan Luo approved - which is way better than a blue checkmark if you ask us.

We're putting it all on the line this week with Life: Love on the Line (or Life: Senjou no Bokura if you're feeling the series over the Director's Cut movie).

And yes, we are definitely talking about THAT special appearance cameo.

This week it's all about BL x K-Pop crossover moments. From everyone's favorite BlackPink storyline in Theory of Love to our Mark Tuan-loving soulmate Boun and a whole LOT of Bam Bam talk, it's a good time all around. Most importantly though: if you were locked in a room with Bam Bam and your mission was to binge one single show with him, which series would you pick?!
