Sometimes you just need a good cry before a happy ending.

Just like any other TV show or movie you watch, Taiwanese productions are no strangers to tearjerkers. While you may be captivated by the on-screen chemistry between the actors or the setting that you really enjoy, there are very few that don't count on your emotions to make an impression.

This may be a drawback for those who prefer a more upbeat style of storytelling, but for those who love to cry a little during a show to get something off their chest, it can actually be a great stress reliever.

Here are 5 Thai BL series you might want to check out to cry your heart out and get on with your life.

HIStory 3: Make Our Days Count

A must see for all perfectionists who are finally looking for a reason to give themselves a break.

Only Friends

The more complex the nature of the relationship is, the more likely the scene is going to make you bawl your eyes out.

Moonlight Chicken

Although there are many heartfelt and touching moments, the main reason for tears is the finale of the show. It is just so good, so cinematic, and makes you feel so close to the characters that you will cry at the mere thought of never seeing them again and having to move on to another journey.
