Gay shit I watched - everything under 100 minutes

mlm

It exists

mlm. ~30 minutes

Office guy falls for mafia guy he sees randomly in the street. Mafia guy is immediately on board with this. 

Dumb but entertaining.

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

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

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

mlm

High school romance. With homophobic parent that fucks things up.

wlw. ~50 minutes

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

wlw

Prospective actress needs to practice kissing, essentially. Low quality indie.

wlw

Girl misses her ex and tries to use friend to replace her, but friend is in love with her. Low quality indie.

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.

wlw

High school romance. Forgettable. Low quality.

Spoiler: not a happy ending

mlm. ~60 minutes

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

mlm

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

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

spoiler: not a happy ending.

wlw

7 year relationship falling apart.

wlw. ~20 minutes

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

wlw. ~24 minutes

Talking about how budding relationship fell apart because of miscommunication, reconnect. Nothing wrong with this, really, just so short that I have a hard time connecting.

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

Girl crushing really hard.

mlm

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.

wlw

Very boring, but other than that, nothing wrong with it.

wlw

Gay pining, meeting up after long time.

mlm

Dude's cat turns into cute boy. More of an advertisement for cat food than a series, and I mean that fully seriously.

wlw. ~7 minutes.

A whole wuxia in seven minutes. The costumes are pretty.

mlm

Jock and nerd like each other, but won't admit it.

spoiler: not a happy ending.

wlw. ~48 minutes

wlw

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. ~6 minutes

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

dropped within first ep

wlw. ~48 minutes

It's not terrible. Low quality indie. If you really crave GL, you could watch this.

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.

dropped

wlw

Very short. Unfinished.

wlw. ~48 minutes

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

dropped

wlw. ~60 minutes

Dumbass uses magic fan to travel to wuxia times and takes the place of her look alike. Exaggerated top/bottom relationship dynamic.

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

Boy meets boy at bus stop. Low quality indie.

wlw

Friends kiss, but don't communicate, then one gets a boyfriend and pretends nothing mattered.

Spoiler: not a happy ending.

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

mlm

He crushed on friend, but oh noes a conniving girl shows up.

wlw

Confusing. Non-linear

wlw. ~5 minutes

Girls like each other and kiss at the end.

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?

mlm

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

mlm. ~40 minutes

Struggling idol trainee's ex boyfriend shows back up. They get forced to live together and debut together. It's meh. Kinda boring.

mlm. ~80 minutes

He finds out his long lost ex-boyfriend is also his mysterious uncle, and that he wants to get back together. A low budget mainland Chinese microseries.

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

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

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

dropped after ep 3

wlw. ~40 minutes

girl has three classmates. Gets anonymous text and wants to figure out which of her classmates likes her. Soulless and awkward

mlm. ~minutes

wlw

one of them is leaving for another country

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.

dropped

wlw. ~38 minutes

Crazy stalker fangirl shows up at streamer's door with food, streamer isn't into it. Too much second hand embarrassment for me to continue, I'm sorry.

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

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

wlw. ~8 minutes

current. 

mlm. ~95 minutes

He needs to fall in love with his ghost roommate within 30 days, then ghost roommate can wake up from coma and be alive again. It's funny and sweet and I'm enjoying it more than average indie miniseries.
