Origin of Boy Love Series:

Boy Love (BL) Drama has now developed into a distinct subgenre. While BL dramas and series have been routinely produced in Thailand and Taiwan over the past few years, Yaoi, as it is more formally known, was first created in Japan as homoerotic comics for girls and young women (known as shoujo manga). Yasuko Sakata and Akiko Hatsu, two female manga artists affiliated with the illustrious Year 24 Group, are credited with coining the phrase. Critics, journalists, and academics collectively referred to this generation of female manga artists as the "Year 24 Group" in the early 1970s.

The tenacity of each and every person involved in the production process, in addition to the show's original plot, is what really solidifies KinnPorsche's basis. Every scene suggested KinnPorsche would be a level darker, more intricate, and superior than the original. Every figure received a complete aesthetic makeover, and each billboard shouted "high-quality production." These are the show's characteristics. which really encouraged the Indian audience to stay tuned in and, in addition, made room for forthcoming Thai BL shows to find a following both in India and around the world.

Boy Love dramas paving the way for the Thai entertainment industry

Through its BL dramas, Thailand has gained both domestic and international prominence. One of Thailand's most well-known BL series, '2gether,' has received praise for popularising the genre internationally including in India. Through art, one can see links being created between a discriminatory present and an inclusive future, but this is a far-off phenomenon. However, BL dramas are largely responsible for Thailand's entertainment sector's success, and BL series have the potential to acquire some soft power, similar to what K-pop has done for South Korea.

Thai BL dramas placed first, second, and fourth in 2020, and six of the top 10 shows, including ones from China and South Korea, featured BL. Thailand believes that its black-light dramas could take the world by storm like K-pop. Boy Love has a huge impact, and when used appropriately, it can alter how the LGBTQIA+ communities are seen by the general public. Realistic BL has served as a link between fiction and reality, and as our environment changes, BL that accurately depicts daily life may unintentionally enter people's consciousness and usher in a new age. With the chemistry these black-letter dramas are pouring with all the actual aspects of reality, India and the whole world are currently in love.
