GL dramas are lacking big time but I will recommend some that I have watched and loved and some I have not yet seen. Some are short films/movies/web dramas but it is what it is. I will update as time goes on. All links will be from YouTube where you can watch it or watch a trailer of it
•Am I The Only One With Butterflies?
This one is a cute Korean webseries of a woman who as a crush on her boss. I recommend it a lot.
“L” is part of a 4 part anthology about 4 people who all have the name L. This one is the only one I really like and it’s about a girl on the film crew who falls in love with the main actress.
A short film about one girl who has a crush on one of her friends
Two girls get roomed together and their relationship starts off rocky but over time begin to fall for each other. This movie has a couple of sequels and even though it’s a bit cheesy, I liked them and they are actually on Netflix right now
This is actually suppose to be a pilot for a drama but because of lack of funding and backlash since it’s a gl, it didn’t get picked up but what we have is amazing and I absolutely loved it. 10/10
Not a GL drama but the wlw content is just *chefs kiss* I love everything about this show and the fact that they not only have wlw content but mlm content too is great. Everything about this show is amazing and I recommend so much
A Thai short film about two women who are quiet about their relationship. The two have a fights bout coming out. Ngl got kinda teary eyed watching it and I liked it
After Han Yus girlfriend breaks up with her, her friend convinces her to join a dating app where she meets someone. Honestly I wished this was longer cause I loved it. It’s a mini series and it was well done
•Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area
This is the second season for friendzone and I loved the first one. Since it follows a group of people, there are other story lines and the gl content is for the crisamm storyline. This series is great and the introduction of cris is just AMAZING.
“They were roommates!” “Oh my god they were roommates” Xiao Rou slowly falls for her roommate Mi Le. There is some homophobia from xiao rous classmates that pops up through it but other than that I really liked this one
This one is a spin off a show called gameboys that I haven’t watched yet so I was skeptical if I should just jump into it at first but I went ahead anyways. You don’t need any prior knowledge of the other show to watch it. It’s about a vlogger named pearl who is stuck in the middle of a love triangle with a girl named karlene that she likes a lot and a girl named Alex that has had a crush on her since they were kids. It’s really good and for a series based around the idea of being in the middle of COVID, it’s super good
This one is super cute! It’s about 5 minutes for 4 episodes that highlight the first things like I love yous , fights, and coming out. The only thing I wish is that it is longer cause I need more! This is a stand alone season so you don’t need to watch the other seasons to watch this one.
This one is coming out March 14th and I can’t wait to see it. It is a Taiwanese drama and it’s goingqqq to be shown on YouTube. It looks cute
•What happened last night
Another quarantine short but oh my god is this one cute! I don’t wanna give too much away because it is 20 minutes but oh man I was smiling like crazy it was so cute
It’s a movie. I’ll say that. Trigger warnings for abuse and sexual assault as well. Like it’s not the best and it’s not the worst. I am happy we got another wlw movie but like at what cost. Some parts were sweet but the only character I liked was Reis girlfriend she left for nanae. If it wasn’t so much for the male gaze it would be higher. Like there were more m/f scenes than that for f/f scenes. I’m putting it on the list only cause like I’m STARVED for content
This one is kinda long in the sense that it has 15 episodes but the episodes are about 4-5 minutes each. It’s a sweet Chinese drama. It has cultivation and time travel but I was confused in a few spots. I do wish it was longer
This one is one Viki and if you are looking for gl content, it’s about 10 or 15 minutes out of the whole movie. Sadly they are just friends tho. Still gonna add it?
If you want a story where a writers husband cheats on her with her best friend and through a couple chance encounters, ends up meeting an assassin in a Chinese drama based off a manhua, then this is the show for you. It was recommended to me by @athena137 and boy did this show not disappoint! Since it is a Cdrama, it is censored but the manhua it’s based off is a gl. The story is interesting and some parts did crack me up. I do recommend heavy
Oh man oh man. I am obsessed with inkpa in this show. The gl is a side couple in this drama but they have the CUTEST scenes ever and I am LIVING for it. The characters are well written and them getting to where they are definitely organic. As of writing this it is still airing and will update completely after it does. Gmmtv finally giving us more gl
So with this drama there are parts I like and some I don’t. Like there are some funny moments but the two biggest issues is there are a couple of transphobic and biphobic jokes in it. The other is the love interest don’t really interact much with each other has much after the first episode or two. Starts off with the classic uhaul lesbians where holly moves from Taiwan to Singapore to be with Meng Lian and most conflict is the struggles of being an airplane stewardess which puts strain on their relationship.
I watched this movie years ago but for some reason never put it here? Amazing. Well this is actually one of my all time favorite gl movies. It’s a psychological thriller and is set during when japan had occupied Korea. This movie is definitely on the mature side and they do have a happy ending as well. The short summary is a con man hires this woman to serve as this Japanese heiresses handmaiden so she can hype him up to her so he can marry her and steal her fortune. Like I said 10/10 really good
• Fragrance of the first flower
This Taiwanese drama is on Gagaoolala and the first episode is free. It is about two girls who separated in high school and meet years later at a friends wedding. One thing I will mention is there is cheating involved since Yi-Ming, one of the girls, is married with a kid. It is pretty good I will say. Short since each episode is roughly 15-18 minutes long and there is only 6 episodes but that’s to be expected with gl dramas at this point
Drugs, oppressive empires, murder, and a mysterious plastic surgeons? What more can you ask for? Actually a lot more. The premise for this one sounded really good and I liked it in the beginning. However, it began to lose me towards the end. If you do watch this one, one of the main women does die so bury your gays on this one
•More than or equal to 75 Celsius
As it stands, it’s another 30 minute mini series. I can go on about how I wish it was longer but it is a cute series and making it longer would’ve added more depth and characterization. The premise is about a tea master who meets a marketing manager for the company and they talk about how to finalize the winter tea.
I will say as someone who hasn’t watched many Bollywood movies, I absolutely loved this. It’s about a gay cop and a lesbian teacher who enter a fake marriage so their families can stop pushing marriage onto them. At first I was hesitant that I wouldn’t see much wlw content but not only do we get great representation in this movie, it’s really good and has a happy ending. 10/10
What can I say but oishi honey lemon. This was great. As a one shot continuation of Inkpas story, it’s cute. I got teary eyed in pt 3 a bit. The premise is pa goes back in time to when they are in high school to get ink to recreate her falling in love. I loved it
