The Biggest Ongoing BL Series in August 2026
Last month of summer, but still so many dramas to look forward to! Take a look at the list below:
You Maniac
Two red flags, but… Polar opposite red flags. WilliamEst bring a unique fake relationship trope, paired with lots of humour and tension. Now confirmed to air on August 29!
Weirdo-101
Featuring the romance between a student athlete and a nerdy, introverted student, ‘Weirdo-101’ proves, once more, that opposites attract. First episode airs on August 14!
Mr. Fanboy
Produced by Domundi, ‘Mr. Fanboy’ is the story of Wan, a male fan, who enters the acting industry through a casting audition for the same show his idol plays in. But why is the idol’s ship, Third, so annoying, or well… So attractive after Wan gets to know him better? Get ready for August 29!
Ash
Adapted from the web novel “Yan Hui”, Hong Kong series “Ash” brings an intense atmosphere of love and hate. Guns, violence and gangs with a hint of intimacy make up the very promising trailer of the series.
Nour
Possibly one of the most anticipated series this summer following the release of its dark, cinematic teaser. ‘Nour’ is expected to dive into a world of monsters, arson and murder, covered with a thick blanket of mystery.
Gelboys Season 2
The sequel to the chaotic 2025 series is here, with its bold, vivid colors and hilarious moments. First episode drops on Augusr 8!
Play Me
Jung I Hyeon, having started his path as a child actor, decides to retire after his mother’s death and switch to a diferrent career: becoming a director. Life throws Kang Jae On in his way, a former classmate with whome they fell apart due to a misunderstanding.
So far, the plot seems interesting and the cinematography might not be perfect, but it’s definitely more than decent. I have to note that we got the classis dramatic k-drama editing within the first 5 minutes of the series, though. Can’t wait to see what ‘Play Me’ has to give in the next weeks!
Match Point
Sports series this summer…? 🫣 When rival families force Sun and Bay onto the same tennis court, their competition quickly turns into something neither of them expected. As the pair secretly trains together, their growing feelings lead to a risky wager that could change everything.
Your Sky: Hare Nochi Koi
After the Thai adaption of ‘Your Sky’, the Japanese is out too. Airing from August 2 to September 27.
Class Crush Crisis
A ruined dream of becoming a rockstar, a new school and a very studious roommate make up the suitable setting for school drama and romance… ‘Class Crush Crisis’ coming out on Netflix on July 24 – September 11 🤫
Unlucky Bae
Coming out on Netflix on August 6, ‘Unlucky Bae’ follows the story of a superstitious fine arts student who accidentally… curses the wrong guy. To fix his mistake, Rin will attempt to balance Khobfa’s new-found misfortune with his own good luck.
Want more dramas? Check out our Ongoing in July 2026 list. ‘Mr. Kill’, ‘Don’t Be Too Emotional’ and ‘Knot’ are still airing in August! And maybe – just maybe – we’ll also get WilliamEst’s ‘You Maniac’ by the end of the month – or at least that’s what’s been reported for now.
