As A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills’ Dream and Blue Lips prepare to conclude, GagaOOLala’s next Mandarin BL is ready to take over.
Set against a world of mercenaries, illegal arms trafficking and criminal conspiracies, Hong Kong Mandarin-language BL Kiss or Kill follows Nie Chuan and Lin Yan, whose lives first collide during a violent conflict at the border.
Fighting side by side through a hail of bullets, the encounter leaves an unforgettable mark on both men.
Three years later, they unexpectedly reunite within the dangerous Lin Group. Nie Chuan has been sent undercover to investigate illegal arms trafficking, while Lin Yan conceals a secret identity of his own. Though they appear to stand on opposing sides, three years of suppressed feelings finally spiral out of control amid lies, betrayal and gunfire.
But their reunion is only the beginning. Gang wars, hidden identities and layers of conspiracy pull them into a deadly game where one wrong move could cost them everything.
This time, the question is no longer simply whether they still have feelings for each other, but whether they can make it out alive.
Gang wars × undercover investigation × arms trafficking × conspiracy × life-or-death romance. Kiss or Kill takes Mandarin BL into a high-stakes action thriller where every twist could be deadly.
Directed by Yiyi and starring Chencan and dayday, Kiss or Kill is a Mandarin-language production from Hong Kong and is available exclusively on GagaOOLala worldwide, excluding Japan and Korea.

While Kiss or Kill heads into a world of gunfire and conspiracy, Taiwanese fantasy BL Connecting to You takes a supernatural turn, entering GagaOOLala’s viewing chart shortly after its premiere.
Chia-kai possesses the unique ability to see the invisible “connections” between people: red for love, green for family and blue for hostility.
Yet he himself has always remained completely threadless.
That changes when he meets Ta-wei, a skeptical detective. For the first time, a mysterious silver thread appears between Chia-kai and another person, leaving him determined to discover the meaning behind this unprecedented bond.
As their lives become increasingly intertwined, the silver thread begins to shift colors, forcing both men to confront feelings they can no longer ignore.
Adapted from a hit Taiwanese BL novel, the series stars Bruce Chiu and Liu Yu-ren as a paranormal crime-solving duo, alongside Lin He-Xuan and Victoria Du. Directed by Yu Jhi-han, the Mandarin-language production also received the Audience Choice Award at the 2026 Golden Horse Fantastic Film Festival.
Blending supernatural mystery, crime-solving and a seemingly destined connection, Connecting to You adds another distinctive genre to GagaOOLala’s growing Mandarin BL slate.
Mandarin BL Holds the Top Spots as New Stories Keep Arriving
The current chart performance reflects the range of Mandarin BL now available on GagaOOLala.
A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills’ Dream approaches its finale at No. 1 with a healing romance set between the entertainment industry and a remote tea-growing region, while Blue Lips follows at No. 2 with a darker story involving murder, illness, medical injustice and emotional redemption.
At the same time, newer releases are moving into completely different territory. Connecting to You combines paranormal abilities with crime-solving, while Kiss or Kill pushes Mandarin BL into mercenaries, undercover operations and gang warfare.
Rather than relying on one familiar romance formula, GagaOOLala’s recent Mandarin-language slate continues to broaden across healing, fantasy, crime, social issues and action.
