Korean LGBT+ Main & Side Characters/Romances

LGBT+ representation in K-Dramas (and also Korean movies, but mainly K-Dramas) is few and far between. That's why I decided to make this list. There is progression, and though it's very slow, I want to highlight Korea specifically for taking steps in the right direction.

I'll put a few movies on here. But mostly just dramas.

Recommended Resources for Indie/Hard-to-Find Queer Korean Content: 

Strongberry (on YouTube). They mainly make short films, but they're generally high quality.

GagaOOLala. If a Korean LGBT+ short film can't be found on YouTube, it's probably here.

    301. Mine

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    8.5

    #300

    One of the main FLs, Jeong Seo Hyun, is a Lesbian who is still very much in love with her first love, Suzy Choi. The reveal first occurs in Ep 2. From there, we watch Seo Hyun grow and not only open up to people around her about her sexuality but also find courage for herself.

    In the end, it is heavily implied through a phone call that she and Suzy get back together.

    What I particularly loved about the representation here was the pushback against religion condemning Homosexuality. For example, in the last episode, Mother Emma (the nun) says to Seo Hyun, "Let me apologize to you on behalf of the world that forced you to stay in the closet. I would like to apologize to you. It's not a sin, but you had to live your whole life hiding it as if it were a sin. Don't do that now."

    I wouldn't say this drama is for everyone since it's very soap opera. It's loud, repetitive, and overly extravagant with just about everything. But the representation here is undoubtedly of quality.

    I liked the symbolism of the lighter flame being struck as she decides to let her sexuality finally burn freely. Wonderful! Also, the line, "Forget others. Choose to be yourself."

    It was difficult to parse through the information available on this pair's relationship. I would have added more info, but I didn't want to put anything incorrect. I am somewhat interested in this drama, so if/when I do watch it, I will update this accordingly.

  • Light Shop

    #310

    Features a romance between two FLs, Park Hye Won and Yun Seon Hae. In Ep 5, we see them move in together and learn they deal with prejudice and misunderstandings not just because they are a Lesbian couple but because of their age difference, with Park Hye Won being older and Yun Seon Hae being younger. 

    I don't want to spoil the drama at all, so unfortunately, I feel like that's all I can say. You'll just have to trust me when I say not only is Light Shop touching, but the representation is as well.

    My thoughts on the drama itself: "I hope we don't meet again."

    My thoughts on the drama itself: The two leads felt like a true couple, with lovely, passionate moments as well as outbursts. But while the story was cohesive, for the most part, the ending felt rushed and thrown together. Which was a shame, as I thought their final conflict had room for exploration.

    The way they jumped back and forth through the years made the story a bit of a confusing mess. Also, the timing of the subtitles was a few seconds slow, which was frustrating. It was cute and pretty well-acted for what it was, though. And it was nice to see them not shy away from the kiss.

    Regarding Ajin, she explicitly states that she is Bisexual. She also wants to date multiple people at the same time, so she is more than likely polyamorous as well.

    My thoughts on the drama itself: The way they played into Biphobic stereotypes, making it seem like Ajin couldn't help but cheat because "Oh, no, I love two people" just pissed me off more and more as time went on.

    IF YOU WANT TO DATE TWO PEOPLE, YOU SIT DOWN AND HAVE AN HONEST FUCKING CONVERSATION WITH THEM.

    And to end it all with just a slap on the wrist?

    I can't with this production company anymore.

    Korean Drama - 2026, 10 episodes

    #326

    Main romance between two FLs.

    The short version of my thoughts: Yeah, unfortunately, I believe the K-GL wave is going to be set back because of this trash.

    Much as I wish I could say there are redeeming aspects to Scandal Love, I can't think of anything positive to say other than the two FLs had a couple of legitimately good moments together and it was an effort to produce/put out a mainstream K-GL.

    The sound design was poor, AI/stock footage shots were very obviously AI/stock footage, the dancing was laughably bad, the music sounded like it was royalty-free, and never have I ever seen actors/characters SO uncomfortable existing on the screen! Their faces were always twisted in pain/they looked like they were cringing with every line, begging the ground to swallow them whole.

    And to top all this off, of course, there were constant character inconsistencies from episode to episode and even scene to scene!

    Don't even get me started on the plot because tell me how they managed to drag such a lame, bare-bones story about a K-Pop girl group who gains a new member out of nowhere, has millions of followers, and is also about to be forced to disband, across ten episodes with an average runtime of 40 minutes each? That's not a compliment!

    My thoughts on the movie itself: Lustful, sly, and unconstrained, this was a bold movie for the books. A critique of possession and celebration of desire, all contained within a long and messy con.

    I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, though, due to the violent and highly explicit scenes present.

    The main story features a Lesbian FL, Anna, who broke up with her girlfriend she was dating for eight years and is having a hard time with her mother because of her sexuality.

    What I loved about this is that it didn't try to push aside the sins of the parent. It framed her mother in a sympathetic but just light. She did her daughter wrong. Now, it's time for her to be the parent she should have always been. 

    The message I came away with was: You are not wrong. They are the ones who are wrong.

    Features Lesbian characters and couples.

    Here's the thing: having a drama special be entirely about Lesbians is great. And the fact that this came out in 2011 at that (though it did get pulled) is something.

    However, a big however, is that this just had to subtly dig at Bisexual women. Like, come on. If you're making a special that will be representing one part of the LGBT+ community, how about you don't drag down another part of that community in the process.

    Korean TV Show - 2022, 9 episodes

    A reality show about three different Queer couples' stories/lives.

    I'm just going to put my review here since I feel I have already best summarized my thoughts:

    This, like His Man, is an important stepping stone for LGBT+ people in Korean media. Unlike that reality show, though, this had a lot of problems.

    While I was ecstatic to hear about this show's release, I began feeling disappointed after watching a few episodes. The hosts wanted to open up the public's minds to Queer people, a noble goal. However, in the pursuit of this they often watered down vital concepts (like sexuality and gender) to the point of being incorrect and/or problematic, were more sympathetic toward parents of Queer children than the children themselves (they even said they were equally struggling), handled insults and dismissals from unaccepting parents with kiddie gloves, and failed to make a hard stand against bigotry.

    I do get the sense that this was made with good intentions and that the hosts aren't bad people. But I feel like they cared so much about Straight people's perception of the show that they ended up catering to them to a fault. There was this sense that it was up to Queer people to keep trying to convince their family members and bend to make them more comfortable rather than the onus being on those being hateful and unaccepting.

    All of this being said, I'm still glad this was made so I could see these Queer people's stories and so that, hopefully, Korea will portray more real Queer people on the screen.

    A reality dating show based on the K-Drama Love Alarm.

    During the show, one contestant, Jasmine, asks out a female contestant she's interested in, White Rose. After this there is also a scene shown where she states to the camera she is Bi. 

    English subtitles aren't currently available for an international audience which makes understanding any finer details and wider context difficult. From what I've read, there is possibly another contestant who may or may not be Bi. If possible, I would like to watch this. We'll see if I'll be able to.

    A reality dating show exclusively for Bisexuals.

    My thoughts on the show itself: I waited for the day I would finally see a Bi reality dating show appear from Korea. Finally, I got my wish. Was it everything I hoped for? Yes and no.

    I felt the openness of all the participants to meet and become close to new people and, perhaps, fall for someone while staying at the BI-LIVE house. That they felt comfortable enough to express their varying levels of attraction to people of the same/different gender, without judgment.

    While I felt some participants were more sincere about their feelings than others, that didn't matter to me as much as real representation of Bisexual people being on the screen.

    Unlike His Man, this reality dating show didn't set up a dialogue/prompt a conversation for everyone to discuss their experience of coming to terms with their sexuality, coming out, and/or the difficulties they faced because of it. Particularly for Bisexual people and the discrimination/pushback they face from Straight people AND the Queer community, I felt this was a huge missed opportunity to start a conversation/dispel stereotypes about Bisexual people. Additionally, I did shake my head at the times dates set a requirement to date a specific gender. I wished the date options were more free. Limiting one's options in that manner seems counterproductive to a Bisexual reality dating show, if you ask me (a Bisexual person). I understand wanting to "mix things up," but there are plenty of other ways to do that without making gender a factor. They managed it with other non-gender-related limitations they set for dates as well as "missions" thrown in every now and then.

    Any of my criticisms being said, though, I have to applaud this show for virtue of being such a valuable stepping stone in LGBT+ representation. Too often, Bisexual people are dismissed/ignored. It was good to see them not only highlighted but treated like others.

    A reality dating show exclusively featuring Gay men.

    I'm just going to put my review here since I feel I have already best summarized my thoughts on this show:

    To think that it was only in 2020 when (arguably) the first Korean BL Drama (Where Your Eyes Linger) was released to now in 2022 when we have Korea's first Gay reality dating show is truly surreal.

    They managed to make this show comforting but also not shy away from hardships. While watching I was wondering to myself if they were ever going to discuss coming out or the possible consequences of being on the show at all, only to see them dedicate one episode specifically to having everyone share their experiences and feelings on the matter. I felt like the creators of this show genuinely cared about Queer people and sharing their stories. I should also note that they did not try to sexualize anyone.

    In Korea, we've gone from merely having some side LGBT+ characters to some dramas centered specifically around them and their romances to actually portraying real Queer people on the screen.

    His Man and Merry Queer are important stepping stones, for sure. Let's not just stop here though. Let's keep going!

    My thoughts on the show itself: We once again got a genuine reality dating show with time to address the experience/struggle of being Queer/coming out. I felt this second season had even more heart to it than the first, actually. I will be eagerly awaiting the third season! Also, "Her Woman?" When? I WANT IT!

    My thoughts on the show itself: *sigh*

    Another season of His Man and another season where I root for a ship and see such promise; it hits rocky seas, I find hope in some moments, and then the bow meets the rocks, and it all gets dashed to pieces. But it's fine. It's okay. I'm used to it.

    In all seriousness, who ended/didn't end up with who aside? Can we stop for a moment to appreciate how amazing it is that we've gotten three seasons of His Man?! I thought S2 was a miracle! How far Korea has come in regard to Queer representation in media in just the last few years!

    Here's the thing: Much as I adore this show, though, how I do adore His Man, I have to take a full point off for not following up with the other participants at the end. Because why? You can't show me the outcome for some and then just leave me hanging with the rest like that!

    A reality dating show exclusively featuring Gay men.

    My thoughts were too many to be contained so if you want to read my full thoughts on this season, you'll have to go to my review (curse you, character limit!!!): https://kisskh.at/profile/MademoiselleNoir/review/548406

    The very short version: Ahhh. His Man. The love/painful relationship we have.

    You make me get attached and see promise in couples, only for any and all I root for with my whole heart to never work out. All my ships sink . . .

    *sigh*

    C'est la vie.

    Again, I should be used to it by now. I think I am the iceberg to these Titanics.

    But, at the end of the day, these are real people with real feelings and free will. No one can be made to like/love anyone. And, for those who do work out, I am genuinely happy for them, including those from this season. One couple, in particular, I didn't expect to be so natural and sweet, but really saw hope for a long-lasting relationship in the end.

    As for the different choices made in the production side this season, I have mixed thoughts.

    All in all, I still adore His Man and the journey it's taken me on (4 years now! Crazy!), and I hope we get yet another season.

    A reality dating show exclusively featuring Queer women.

    My thoughts on the show itself: For Korea's first Queer reality dating show exclusively for women, I thought this was a thoughtful endeavor and a great step forward pushing real life representation. Compared to His Man, chance, competition, and missions played less of a part in determining dates. I felt this created a more mellow atmosphere for all the participants, with heartfelt notes, small interactions, and group meals/events making feelings develop more naturally and thoughtfully over time.

    All this praise being said, I did find the finale lacking. I felt we didn't get to hear enough from everyone, and wish the time was spread more equally between all of them to get their final thoughts/feelings.

    Update: I can't seem to find a way to watch this. Looks like I'll have to put it on hold until we get a good fansubber or they put it on a platform outside of Watcha.

    Update: From what I've read about those who have watched through this is that us viewers end up getting played as it is more Bromance than Romance, with the only clear Queer character being the villain with a tragic ending. So maybe it's a good thing I haven't yet found an avenue to watch it as I would have to suffer through it for nothing. Lol.
