Gay shit I watched - everything under 100 minutes

Low quality indie short film.

mlm. ~34 minutes

indie short film. It's alright. Not really special. Not really worth it.

Dropped halfway

mlm. ~48 minutes

This is half comedy, half horror. The horror is derived from the boss character pursuing the main character. I couldn't finish this, because it played into the 'predatory gay' trope too much and it felt homophobic to me.

mlm. ~14 minutes

Tiktok series. It's sweet and basic, but the format frustrates me.

Censored mlm. ~95 minutes

Bromance about shooting competition. The source material is gay.

cw: They are brothers, but then they aren't.

wlw. ~30 minutes

It's sweet and standard and indie and low quality. She's an author, her fan becomes her roommate, she hides her identity.

mlm. ~90 minutes

Heartbroken abused guy comes to live with friend and her little bro, little bro likes him but he's still trying to get over ex. Authentic but boring.

Part of the 'My Universe' collection

wlw. ~50 minutes

JPC media. Heartbroken girl takes ill-fortuned vacation and meets helpful girl.

mlm. ~90 minutes

They're neighbors. There's a granny. It's sweet. Has a queer indie feel.

Secondary pair was together in high school but got outed and separated, reconnect.

cw: the framing device is some random girl telling us these two stories, and for some reason the series has to start with her having sex with a guy and us watching that and personally I really hate it.

mlm. ~60 minutes

Bullies and homophobia, but also attraction and a gay relationship. It's not terrible, but it's also not good.

mlm. ~42 minutes

Heartbroken tourist x hostel owner. I thought it was sweet and worth watching.

Spoiler: not a super happy ending.

Not technically mlm. ~80 minutes

wlw. ~20 minutes

Roommates got together, one is an annoying YouTuber, they break up and get back together. It's watchable.

wlw. ~24 minutes

mlm. ~25 minutes

Besties are in love with each other, but each time loop that they confess, one keeps dying.

wlw, GNC. ~70 minutes

I do recommend this one, but only because there's not enough GL to go around, especially with butches in it.

Dance school students. Badass lesbian does streetfighting.

cw: I think this one had consent issues. And it does have violence and toxicity.

wlw, GNC, mlm. ~77 minutes

high school love triangle

wlw. ~50 minutes

Low quality indie. Girl pressures barista into teaching her how to make coffee. This one was pretty watchable.

mlm. 56 minutes

Low budget silly little show about a cat who turns human. Enemies to lovers. There are better things to watch, but you could watch this I guess.

Apparently part of something called 'youth in the breeze'? Idk still working on it.

wlw. ~50 minutes

One of the better indie GL miniseries, plot-wise, but that's not saying much. Fortune teller x lady whose death she predicts.

wlw. ~20 minutes

It's fine, just a bit boring. Nothing much happens.

censored mlm. ~70 minutes

He gets transported back in time, meets guy who wants to kill his emperor ancestor. It's okay. I like the aesthetics and the drama. The plot is full of holes, but I guess that's not the point.

High school bestie crush with zero resolution

wlw. ~10 minutes

Gay pining, meeting up after long time.

mlm. ~7 minutes

wlw. ~45 minutes

wlw. ~48 minutes

introvert x extravert, some cheating, nothing really happens.

wlw. ~30 minutes

Touch averse girl gets sudden roommate. It exists I guess. Low quality.

mlm. ~95 minutes

It's sure gray. Their lives suck, one is a douche and the other is a grey blob. Nobody in this series appears capable of talking to people in their life without sounding like they hate them. Production quality is low but acceptable. I'd need more scenes and less abrupt time skips and flashbacks to feel like this is complete. As of now the plot feels confusing.

cw: parental abuse.

wlw. ~9 minutes

Friend comes to sleep over in her bed every day. Utterly forgettable.

wlw. ~30 minutes

Booksmarts girl makes bet to get partner, goes to marriage class, fails on date with guy, goes on date with girl, says she doesn't care about gender, just likes this girl.

It's not like you'll lose a lot of time watching this.

mlm. ~7 minutes

Just a bunch of pining. Low budget.

wlw. ~6 minutes

She broke up with boyfriend to go flirt with bartender bestie. It's just kinda low quality. Meh.

mlm. ~14 minutes

He kidnaps powerful guy, powerful guy kidnaps him back. Then they turn out to be related and then more wild plot twists.

This is wild and dramatic, and that's definitely fun, but the production quality is abysmal. From China though, which is a miracle.

wlw. ~48 minutes

H'our channel indie miniseries. Not very impressive. Two babysitters live in same house and fall for each other.

mlm. ~90 minutes

Secret gay wedding, oh no parents show up and they perform several unfortunate switcheroos. Over the top attempt at comedy.

Part of the 'My Universe' Collection

mlm. ~7 minutes

Boy meets boy at bus stop. Low quality indie.

mlm. ~15 minutes

Advertisement miniseries, indie. Essentially, a BL shop employee gets new a colleague who is cute. Feels unfinished.

mlm. ~24 minutes

So forgettable that I do not remember what happened.

It exists

mlm

Really slow, nothing much happens. YouTuber goes to massage parlor and meets awkward masseur. It's mostly awkward silences. They don't mean 'that' kind of a first time.

mlm. ~44 minutes

Indie low budget. Just tropes. Not really worth watching.

wlw. ~20 minutes

Production value, acting and writing are just not good. Plot is barely there, but is probably its strongest point.

spoiler: not a happy ending

wlw. ~15 minutes

wlw. ~18 minutes

High school romance. Forgettable. Low quality.

Spoiler: not a happy ending

mlm. ~26 minutes

Besties (who both already have girlfriends) to lovers. Forgettable.

mlm. ~45 minutes

This should be a horror story, but is presented as a BL.

Dickbag actor doesn't want a BL partner, but does it for the money, hates his partner for classism reasons, but comes around by the end.

I watched the censored version because this would be way too much for me otherwise.

The dynamic between the guys feels wrong, and the way they essentially do sex work because otherwise they'd die also feels wrong. Maybe the discomfort with this is the point of this miniseries, but idk then why do they appear to get a 'happily ever after' while still stuck in this shitshow? How come their reservations about doing this are suddenly gone? Are we supposed to think this is okay, or not?

wlw. ~9 minutes

Girl crushing really hard.

mlm. ~20 minutes

Bf is sick, bf cheats, he meets new guy. Forgettable. Not worth it.

mlm. ~40 minutes

wlw. ~15 minutes. 2 episodes.

Girls who like each other and kiss at the end.

wlw. ~13 minutes

She crushes on her colleague, who was also her college friend. It's meh, but it's from China, so the fact that it exists is pretty miraculous.

mlm. ~20 minutes

Room organizer is a dick and kills client's emotionally important plant, then tries to make it up to him by buying a plastic plant and getting drunk with him.

Don't watch this.

wlw

Tiktok series. Shy bodyguard x slandered superstar.

wlw. ~14 minutes

Just two college girls falling for each other, breaking up, seeing each other years later and getting back together. It's not good.

mlm. ~19 minutes

No engsub (I speak Mandarin). Simple roommates to lovers.

spoiler: not a happy ending.

mlm, GNC. ~80 minutes

Major consent problems. Abusive. Guy gets dumped by boyfriend, dies, reborn 9 years ago, tries revenge, falls in love again. They all look pretty queer, so that's nice.

mlm. ~90 minutes

Vampire angst, pacing issues, character development issues, plot unclear.

spoiler: not a happy ending.

mlm. ~70 minutes

Period piece. Bodyguard returns to life one year ago to change the outcome. The acting is very typically Chinese, conniving ladies, stoic men, robotic lines.

Spoiler: not a happy ending, but retconned.

wlw. ~10 minutes

actresses do fanservice but are actually into it. Only one episode was made

mlm. ~30 minutes

Really short and I still watched at 1,5 speed because it was slow. Roommate besties. There's kinda just nothing there.

mlm. ~75 minutes

A Chinese xianxia BL minidrama but with Japanese actors. Very strange to see Japanese body language in Chinese costumes. Maybe the plot would work in a longer format, but it sure didn't here. 

If you do watch this, when they say 'reincarnate' and 'previous life' they mean more like a time-loop, not a resurrection or a whole new life. Took me a while to figure out what they were on about.

dropped after ep 1

wlw. ~70 minutes

Girl likes her far older neigbor. H'our channel should really step up their game if they want to remain relevant in the GL sphere.

dropped

mlm. ~13 minutes

Boring.

wlw. ~20 minutes

Very short. Unfinished.

wlw. ~60 minutes

Spoiler: Not a happy ending.
