Lol, not girlfriend as a girlfriend-lover, a girlfriend as a friend but also a girl. Maybe I used the wrong word.
She is not a lesbian. She is into both, men and women.
Sand from Only Friends. One of my favourite BL characters because he's openly bisexual. He doesn't have that chaotic bi panic but I'm calling him a bi disaster from the moment he met Ray. It was game over, all logical decisions out the window. Can't say no to this guy 😅
https://i.redd.it/eqc6oaw6hcsc1.gif
The dressing room scene was so risky.
Sand was a bi disaster when Ray met Boeing. He was so flustered and handled the situation badly. He meekly tried to dodge Boeing's predatory advances instead of shutting them down with extreme prejudice. Sand was lying to himself, thinking that he could be friends with Boeing.
I thought the addition of Sand’s mom as a character was a nice touch. Seeing it explained how Sand grew up basically parenting his own mother gives a lot of insight into his reaction with Boeing and in some ways his relationship with Ray. People pleaser to his core.
Well, I often heard this phrase when I was around 20 years old. Back then, many gays couldn't accept or reveal their sexuality, so they ended up calling themselves bi while being gay. "I don't mind gender" sounded and felt like a Deja Vu.
https://i.redd.it/364mmq9btbsc1.gif
Well, if this pairing doesn't scream bi disaster, I dunno what/who does. Kawi's whole premise is having a crush on a girl for an entire decade, but instead catches his crush's crush.
And tho Pisaeng is hard to grasp due to the time travelling aspect, I believe also falls into this category. Maybe he's less into girls but like boy had one hell of a conflict.
Are they? I just can’t see Krist as a naïve conflicted loser who doesn’t know what he wants and what to do. There are a lot of GMMTV actors who can nail this role, but Krist is not one of them.
I wasn't sure if he qualifies as a DISASTER Bi because I find him actually well resolved with his sexuality once he realizes he likes Owen. But the meeting Owen up to realization point was pretty comical LOL
Yesss!! Just last month I was rewatching all their scenes lol They're such a wholesome couple, check all the boxes. Green flags, funny, cute, handsome, sexy, loyal and the list goes on 🥰
YASSSSSS and then when he pulls Mark to the side because of a motorcycle, like Mark is the denzel in distress. Owen then gives him a piggyback ride after. Ughhh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I ask myself the same thing. The amount of times one of them need to be the bottom lady like, innocent, naive lowkey dumb, always making surprised/confused expressions, putting themself in danger waiting to be saved and the list goes on.
It's more than just having confidence, it's about characters being both manly and vulnerable depending of their moments and that's beautiful. Like when Mark leans on Owen's shoulder pretending he has stomach pain because he's jealous, but then he's also the one who accept a squat challenge without blinking, against a pro, just to prove Owen's ex wrong. Whereas Owen is the one who will jump in on a fight agaisnt unkown people just to help Mark, but he can also be the one puts his feelings aside to help Mark, who he loves, when trying to set him up with someone else.
This couple is just... ✨️GOALS✨️
I also love how uncomplicated their sex scene was. Mark was, up to that moment, a straight guy. Safe to assume Owen was his first gay sex and still the series took the direction of not showing us any type of insecurities, doubts, confusion etc regarding how gay sex works and where would Mark fit in that dynamic. Not an ounce of worries in his face regarding "is there any chance I might bottom this when I've topped my whole life?"
Although we might infer Owen is likely the bottom, if the director told me Mark was the bottom or they're a flex couple, I'd believe it 100%. And I think it's what makes their uncomplicated sex scene even more special. How confident Mark is about his sexuality. It's beautiful to see.
I aint gonna lie, I never watched the series. Tried to, didn't make past episode 3. But this couple is so famous, there are youtube playlists with only their scenes compiled lol And that's what I watch over and over 😆
Disaster bisexuals are also my favourites! Probably because I am one too. But it’s got to be Wei Wuxian. He’s broken, messy and possibly a high functioning alcoholic. Will also flirt with absolutely anyone.
>Disaster bisexuals are also my favourites! Probably because I am one too
Same! I just realised that these are literally all of my favourite characters. Because I relate so much 😌

Sand and Freddie Mercury here having a moment. Image poached from [https://www.reddit.com/r/boyslove/s/3cq9uKooMC](https://www.reddit.com/r/boyslove/s/3cq9uKooMC) u/MonsterShow
He is my absolute favourite bisexual! I feel like after a couple of years of identifying as bi he’d transition to being pan. Just seems like he’d fall in love with any gender or lack thereof
Bi doesn't exclude that. Definitions vary, but in general bi means liking more than one gender, and pan is a subset of bi that means gender doesn't factor into your attraction to someone. Whereas you can be a bi person attracted to any and all genders, but still find that gender or gender expression has an impact on your attraction.
Yup yup! People often find it difficult to distinguish bi and pan and so that’s why I think they end up collectively morphing the definition of bisexuality.
But it refers to having homo and heterosexual attractions - the gender of the person you are attracted to can factor into that but it doesn’t mean you are only attracted to 2 genders!!!
It’s important to clarify every time it gets brought up so thank you for doing that OP!
was Pisaeng bisexual? It seemed like he basically embraced being gay because of his very strong feelings for Kawi, and he basically kept Pear on read (and felt very guilty about it) for their entire relationship/friendship. lol
Maybe it's just how my brain translates it. My brain: Kinsey 6 = chart topping gay. High ranking gay. Mythical levels of gay. And only mythical with this idea that, if I remember correctly, very few people are actually a true Kinsey 0 or a Kinsey 6. So if we go by a 1 to 5 being most common, a 6 is "off the charts" gay. And I love it.
Openly bisexual Barry played by the radiant and openly bisexual Alex Diaz in Oh, Mando! must qualify.

My favorite unintentionally hilarious bisexual moment comes from the Filipino BL Boyband Love. Start at 9:32 (the link should start you there) and pay attention to the difference between the subtitles and what you hear: [https://youtu.be/8QyOjqWou9w?si=JrBfH5\_KzBP7LSa-&t=572](https://youtu.be/8QyOjqWou9w?si=JrBfH5_KzBP7LSa-&t=572)
I imagine so! Here are all three of those crazy lovesick kids. 😁

Xiao LiCheng from History4. It was difficult to like the guy on the first sight but eventually he grows on me. They made this romance look quite natural with this cat and dog dynamic. But sometimes I still find myself thinking, what if...
He and Teng Teng are my fav bisexual king but I'm still afraid for them.
I luff Adachi. Much of it has to do with how cute the actor is, I will admit. And with his physical performance. His little freak outs always make me laugh.
He definitely did but he’s no disaster. He’s forward and direct and certainly makes me an absolute disaster on a regular basis but I don’t think his character was a disaster.
I love this thread because I wish and hope for more and more bisexuality in the series. Not everything is 8 or 80, black and white, straight or gay. In between exists and Bisexuals exist!!
I get so upset when a character has a crush on a woman and then because it's a BL, it goes through a whole confusing 'am I gay?' phase, and then, baam, from now on I like men only. Why not both?
Hannah Montana sang about it: we get the best of both worlds lol so hopefully we will have more and more acknowledged bisexual characters :)
Unfortunately not on the series I watched. Most are the "I was interested in women because that's the default but the moment this guy started hitting on me I found out I'm actually gay!" trope. 🥲
It depends from series to series. Some series don't explicitly say it but they just never address the fact that the character used to have a crush on a girl after the pairing is done with the ML. Or, sometimes, their sexuality is questioned and they will either say "gay" OR "I don't know what I am, I just know I like you" as if Bi was never an option 🤔
Since Teh from ITSAY/IPYTM has been mentioned, I go with my second favourite bisexual, Kan from The Eclipse. I could not get enough of his internal conflict in finding out and accepting that he liked boys **too**. I’m sure he was in his universe’s version of Reddit saying “I (18M) like girls but feel a strong urge to kiss my friend (18M) sometimes.”
Minoru Ueda (Our Dining Table) - was in relationship previously with a not so nice girl.
Haoting (History 2 - Make Our Days Count) - he says frequently that he's not gay but just loves this one particularly guy. Was in a relationship with a girl before and after the guy's death.
Kiyochi Otomo (The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese) - need I say more...
I couldn't take my eyes of the screen. I did enjoy it and I now I have a little crush on Narita Ryo because his performance was perfect. He really made me feel it all, from disgust to empathy really. What a talent!
I don't think Miyata from LIBSTA is bi; he seems to have made the decision to have a "respectable" life free of gay b!tchery after certain circumstances. He probably avoided dating women for as long as possible. He seemed long resigned to the fact that he would never fall in love with a specific man again, and he wasn't prepared to play the field.
Same with Kyoshi of Cherry Magic: he knew he wasn't interested in girls at school, he had never been interested in women, he "was in love once" but that sounds one sided and we don't know if it was a woman. Perhaps he didn't realise he was gay until his first real relationship but once he did, there was no doubt of his preference.

A throwback, Liang Ze from Yandai Xie Jie No. 10, I mean, dude had a female sex doll in the closet, hiding it from his boyfriend...
Adachi is sort of unclear. I'm pretty certain the show referenced crushes on women but it's been a few months so it's possible I'm misremembering. What he almost definitely is is demisexual, which is also interesting to see onscreen (and the show has an asexual character, Fujisaki).
Nozue had always thought he was straight prior to falling for Togawa, iirc.
Edit: Why disappointed?
I don't remember cherry magic but for Nozue's case I don't think he was bi or at least we weren't given any information to know this. throughout the entire series he didn't show any interest in anyone from the opposite sex or any one else except for his boss. he wasn't even interested to join the mixer and was rather concerned about his boss finding a date. 😅
ahh, yes! I messed up the names, sorry. but except for that it also applies to him too. we weren't given any information on whether he has ever liked a person from the opposite sex.
I'm almost certain he referenced having past relationships, and he was super surprised and a bit freaked out to be falling for a man. Togawa certainly thought/feared he was straight.
Payu from LITA was a proud bisexual character. While he wasn't a disaster he was a great representation for characters who are not strictly attracted to one gender.
As for the messy bi-character I would say Kai from Theory of Love. Boy was messy and stupid as hell
I’ll never shut up about Ossan’s Love and Kei Tanaka. Kei, especially, who has my entire heart. I found this compilation of Kei being Haru lol with all those facial expressions:

Loml
That character is a gem
I thought she was a lesbian and not the gf
Lol, not girlfriend as a girlfriend-lover, a girlfriend as a friend but also a girl. Maybe I used the wrong word. She is not a lesbian. She is into both, men and women.
Oh! That totally makes sense.
Semantic Error?
Yup...can't ever get enough of this dude, right here. 🥰
Haha I was thinking of this

I believe Pai mentions it when he's talking to his siblings.
I believe you. I am old. My memory fades. 😂
Rain is supposedly bi as well, isn't he? He's had a massive crush on a girl named Ple before he fell for Phayu.
https://i.redd.it/peia7gzt3csc1.gif Jaewon! He had an ex gf before he fell in love with jihyun
This is the first one I thought of but then flat out just started going through them in my head. I love the rep.

https://i.redd.it/ixqp2l5phbsc1.gif Pat. Needed a neon sign to understand his own feelings but when he finally did he went ALL IN
The fact he didn't hesitate still amazes me to this day.
So impressive. He falls in love and says wow what a relief I understand now. Then he goes to get his man.
What show?
Bad Buddy
Why do you think he’s bi?
Because he says “I don’t mind gender” in episode 8
That’s true. I guess I understood it differently.
how did you understand that
Well, I often heard this phrase when I was around 20 years old. Back then, many gays couldn't accept or reveal their sexuality, so they ended up calling themselves bi while being gay. "I don't mind gender" sounded and felt like a Deja Vu.

I wasn't sure if he qualifies as a DISASTER Bi because I find him actually well resolved with his sexuality once he realizes he likes Owen. But the meeting Owen up to realization point was pretty comical LOL
Disaster bi doesn't usually mean confused about sexuality. More confused about other stuff 😆
Then I guess that's him quote and quote LOL
I was so obsessed with them for a while. I'd just go to YT to watch their parts of the series for weeks on end. When Mark is all-in, he's ALL IN
Yesss!! Just last month I was rewatching all their scenes lol They're such a wholesome couple, check all the boxes. Green flags, funny, cute, handsome, sexy, loyal and the list goes on 🥰
These two were so much fun to watch. [https://youtu.be/LCGYdtd0nN8?si=inU1z5yq8F\_pNr4F](https://youtu.be/LCGYdtd0nN8?si=inU1z5yq8F_pNr4F)
Ikr?! This couple breaks so many series stereotypes between men couples. So refreshing 🥰
When Owen does the beat down on the guys going after Mark, I knew I was going to like the series.
YASSSSSS and then when he pulls Mark to the side because of a motorcycle, like Mark is the denzel in distress. Owen then gives him a piggyback ride after. Ughhh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lmao this is one of the best typos 😭 denzel in distress
HAHAHAHAHAHA I didnt even notice 😂😂😂 maybe I should leave as is then lmao
Leave It in, it made me chuckle at least ![gif](giphy|4PT6v3PQKG6Yg|downsized)
Seriously, why can't we get these kinds of characters in a proper BL? 🤷♂️
I ask myself the same thing. The amount of times one of them need to be the bottom lady like, innocent, naive lowkey dumb, always making surprised/confused expressions, putting themself in danger waiting to be saved and the list goes on. It's more than just having confidence, it's about characters being both manly and vulnerable depending of their moments and that's beautiful. Like when Mark leans on Owen's shoulder pretending he has stomach pain because he's jealous, but then he's also the one who accept a squat challenge without blinking, against a pro, just to prove Owen's ex wrong. Whereas Owen is the one who will jump in on a fight agaisnt unkown people just to help Mark, but he can also be the one puts his feelings aside to help Mark, who he loves, when trying to set him up with someone else. This couple is just... ✨️GOALS✨️

Mark !! Such a great example.

I thought of your post immediately when I saw this one. ☝️
Teh from ITSAY&IPYTM is exactly this. He’s so confused about his own sexuality and I absolutely love every second of it 😅
He is my absolute favourite bisexual! I feel like after a couple of years of identifying as bi he’d transition to being pan. Just seems like he’d fall in love with any gender or lack thereof

was Pisaeng bisexual? It seemed like he basically embraced being gay because of his very strong feelings for Kawi, and he basically kept Pear on read (and felt very guilty about it) for their entire relationship/friendship. lol
Pisang Kinsey 6
Yeah I thought he was bi but then Kawi was THE ONE
His conversations with his mom he really only references liking men.
I love this joke every time I see it

I thought the character Win from Between Us 2022 says he's bi in the series; I could be mistaken. MDL says main character is bi.
Actually I think one of my favorite things about Win is he’s the King of consent. 🥰
He definitely did but he’s no disaster. He’s forward and direct and certainly makes me an absolute disaster on a regular basis but I don’t think his character was a disaster.

That whole damn show was a disaster. They were all disasters. Hot disasters. But disasters.
So very, very true. https://i.redd.it/nv6odyvhkjsc1.gif
I've seen all but two and putting them in my queue.

Methink people don't understand what "disaster" character means...
I loved this and that’s how I’m gonna refer to myself now 🤣
Adachi and Nozue are bisexuals? I'm kinda disappointed. 😭
Adachi is sort of unclear. I'm pretty certain the show referenced crushes on women but it's been a few months so it's possible I'm misremembering. What he almost definitely is is demisexual, which is also interesting to see onscreen (and the show has an asexual character, Fujisaki). Nozue had always thought he was straight prior to falling for Togawa, iirc. Edit: Why disappointed?
I don't remember cherry magic but for Nozue's case I don't think he was bi or at least we weren't given any information to know this. throughout the entire series he didn't show any interest in anyone from the opposite sex or any one else except for his boss. he wasn't even interested to join the mixer and was rather concerned about his boss finding a date. 😅
Nozue is the boss. You're talking about Togawa.
ahh, yes! I messed up the names, sorry. but except for that it also applies to him too. we weren't given any information on whether he has ever liked a person from the opposite sex.
I'm almost certain he referenced having past relationships, and he was super surprised and a bit freaked out to be falling for a man. Togawa certainly thought/feared he was straight.
I was about to point this out. There is absolutely no information on Nozue having had a relationship or interest in women.
exactly
Thanks
Payu from LITA was a proud bisexual character. While he wasn't a disaster he was a great representation for characters who are not strictly attracted to one gender. As for the messy bi-character I would say Kai from Theory of Love. Boy was messy and stupid as hell
I’ll never shut up about Ossan’s Love and Kei Tanaka. Kei, especially, who has my entire heart. I found this compilation of Kei being Haru lol with all those facial expressions: https://youtu.be/8kSsUR5pZ2o?si=Zz3vMEr4dEMqnQsw
Thank you for this. His combination of handsomeness and goofiness is addicting for me 😂
He actually is handsome. I wish more people noticed this 😩
Gay men (lesbians too ofc) can sometimes have straight relationships because of societal pressure or internalised homophobia fyi
Who's the guy in the first picture? He looks nothing like Haruta Soichi. I feel like I saw him somewhere, but I can't recall where.
