#I always love an excuse to blabber 😁

Do you know any thai BL dramas with sad ending?

I love questions so much, especially rec requests (assuming this is one?), because they make me feel helpful and I get to ramble about shows that I love, but Anon, you asked this question to the worst possible person because I avoid sad endings like the plague 🤣

That said, this is actually a fascinating question! Because I’ve watched so many Thai BLs at this point and I don’t think a single one of them had a truly completely sad ending?? I can think of a small handful of JBLs and Taiwanese BLs and Pinoy BL that have sad endings, but not really Thai BLs? Even Thai lakorns, non-BLs, are more likely to have sad endings. It’s part of the reason I tend to enjoy BLs from Thailand more than anywhere else, I can usually trust they’ll have a happy ending.

However…

Thai BLs With Sad(ish) Endings (in no particular order):

(I won’t spoil the endings themselves, but I think just saying that the endings are sad is a spoiler of sorts so a warning for that. Another warning that I wouldn’t actually recommend half of these shows, mostly because I’m not a fan of sad/ambiguous endings.)

1. The Best Story

- The only Thai BL I could think of that 100% has a sad ending.

2. He’s Coming To Me

- This is a ghost romance and, in classic ghost romance fashion, the ending is… Well, it isn’t exactly sad, but it’s ambiguous. The only show on this list that I actively recommend.

3. Something In My Room

- Another ghost romance with a kinda-but-not-quite sad ending. This one isn’t ambiguous like He’s Coming To Me, it’s a very definitive ending, but whether it’s sad or happy is a matter of perspective.

4. Dear Doctor, I’m Coming For Soul

- A Doctor and a Grim Reaper fall in love. Noticing a pattern here? Thailand tends to prefer happy endings, but seems to struggle when one of the leads is dead and/or supernatural. This is also an ambiguously sad/happy ending.

5. 7 Project

- I’ll be real with you, I didn’t finish this one, so maybe the ending is all sunshine and rainbows. However, I’m putting it on this list because of the kind of show it is. It’s in the style of Y-Destiny, wherein we follow two different leads every two episodes, and all of the two ep mini-series that I watched had sad and ambiguous endings.

6. My Only 12%

- This is a happy ending for the romance, specifically, but the last two episodes deal with unresolvable angst and suffering unrelated to the couple. It’s very sad.

Aaaaaand that’s all I could think of! Hope that helps, Anon! Whether you use it as a list of what to watch or what to avoid 🤣

I could probably make a more extensive list of just general BL with sad endings so lemme know if you’re interested in that!
