GL Dramas and Movies That Are Actually Gay
I keep seeing GL lists with movies or shows that aren't even gay so here's my list. I've watched and recommend all of these except for the ones I specifically say aren't worth watching. I've commented on the ones I think are still worth watching even if they don't have a ton of GL.
Feel free to suggest any GLs. I'll be sure to watch them and put them on the list if I think they fit. If you're having trouble finding any of these, message me and I'd be happy to help. (I haven't rated any of these because I don't like to do that) (Some of these are blank because I don't really have a comment to add)

-
108. House of Hummingbird
Korean Movie - 2018
It's not worth it just for the GL. It doesn't really focus on it.
-
109. Love in the Tinder Age

It's not about a relationship, but the main is a lesbian.
-
110. The L Bang
Chinese Drama - 2016, 4 episodes
-
111. Nevertheless,
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
[Yoon Sol x Seo Jiwan]
Soljiwan CARRIED the entire drama. I really tried to watch the whole drama, not just the Soljiwan stuff, but the main couple is SO insufferable and the ending was pretty disappointing. But Soljiwan are endgame so who cares ultimately.

-
128. That Strangely Horrifying Windy Day
Korean Movie - 2018
TW: SA
Not worth it. It has the "classic" trope of character is a "lesbian" because she was assaulted by men and then when she heals from her trauma she becomes straight again.
-

-
130. Secret

Thai Movie - 2020
-

-
133. You I Didn't Know
Korean Drama - 2020, 3 episodes
You don't need to watch the first two to watch the third episode (which is the only explicitly GL one.) The second ep sorta gives me vibes, but it's not actually GL.
-
134. Pond, Fish
Chinese Movie - 2019
-
135. The Story of the Demon Cult Leader and the Decent Miss
Chinese Movie - 2019
-

Chinese Movie - 2016
-
138. Beguine
Thai Movie - 2018
-
139. Pair of Love
Taiwanese Movie - 2010
This is mostly about the BL couple (maybe 70/30). And they left out one of the girls in the GL couple for like half the movie.
-
140. Everywhere and Nowhere
Korean Drama - 2020, 3 episodes
-
141. The Day
Korean Movie - 2020
-
142. Exchange Student
Korean Movie - 2019
-
143. The Villain Who I Love
Korean Movie - 2017
-
144. S.O.S
Korean Movie - 2015
It's mainly about the main character struggling with her asexuality. There is some GL, but it isn't the main focus.
-
145. Windbell
Korean Movie - 2020
It isn’t technically GL, but it sure is homoerotic. You’re not missing out on much if you don’t watch this.
-
146. A Sunday
Korean Movie - 2017
-
147. Legend of Yunze
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
-
148. Billie and Emma
Filipino Movie - 2018
-
149. Dear Uranus
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 3 episodes
-
150. Love Songs Love Stories: Pae Jai
Thai Drama - 2015, 2 episodes
-
151. Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy
Japanese Movie - 2021
Not worth it. Only the 3rd one has any semblance of GL. Nothing actually happens, she just talks about a past relationship.
-
152. I Love Camping
Korean Movie - 2020
Sure.
-
153. Friend Zone 2: Dangerous Area
Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
[Amm x Chris]
There are a bunch of different storylines in this show, so it isn't all GL.
-
154. Cross Your Fingers
Korean Movie - 2011
-
155. X-LOVE
Chinese Special - 2015, 1 episode
-
156. Drama Special Season 5: First Birthday
Korean Special - 2014, 1 episode
Not worth it. This is all about the dysfunctional married couple. KBS can only come up with one GL plot and it's girl is in love with best friend and best friend is in love with mutual guy friend.
Also the acting and dialogue in the climax are so cringey.
-
157. A Complicated Story
Hong Kong Movie - 2013
Not worth it. The story is about other things and it probably makes up less then 5 minutes of the runtime.
-
158. BetCin
Filipino Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
I didn't like this series, it didn't make me root for them. That's just my opinion though. You should watch it and make up your own mind about it.
-
159. Fragrance of the First Flower
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Season 2 will come out in early 2025, HOPEFULLY. I've been waiting since like June 2023.
-
160. Encore Martha
Taiwanese Movie - 2021
-
161. Bye, Us
Filipino Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
Sure.
-
162. Quarantine Stories
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Only episode 10 is GL, and it's so cute!
-
163. A Girl at My Door
Korean Movie - 2014
Not really worth it just for the GL. The main character's sexuality is a big part of this movie, but this isn't about the relationship. It's still worth the watch.
-
164. Once a Time With You
Taiwanese Movie - 2013
-
165. Couple of Mirrors
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
[You Yi x Yan Wei (or Wei Wei but only if you're You Yi)]
It's GL, but it's censored. They're practical together, it just isn't said. It's supposed to be getting a second season, but there hasn't been any news in a while.
-
166. After and After Then?
Taiwanese Movie - 2020
-
167. One Summer's Day
Taiwanese Movie - 2020
-
168. Legend of Yunze Special
Chinese Special - 2021, 14 episodes
-
169. Matcha & Vanilla
Japanese Movie - 2021
-
170. Love Tech
Korean Movie - 2021
-
171. 24 Hours
Taiwanese Movie - 2015
It's not about the relationship.
-
172. Young Adult Matters
Korean Movie - 2020
Not worth it. BYG out of NOWHERE. You can watch their scenes on youtube. Search "My school bully is also my secret lover."
-
173. Love or Spend
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 77 episodes
[You Xin x Wei Xuan]
Not worth watching 77 episodes for. But their scenes are very cute especially for 2015.
-
174. Our Time
Korean Movie - 2022
-
175. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
[Ink x Pa]
They're side characters, so they're not in the show a ton. It's on youtube (channel: GMMTV Official) so it's pretty easy to scrub through to find just their scenes.
Other series with Milk and Love:
- Magic of Zero (1st ep of anthology series)
- 23.5 องศาที่โลกเอียง (Main Couple)
- Whale Store xoxo (Main Couple, airing 2025)
- Girl Rules (1 of 3 Main Couple pairings, airing 2025)
-
176. Club Friday Uncharted Love: A Love that No One Knows
Thai Special - 2020, 4 episodes
This one is GL despite what that one comments says. It's like a decent amount of the show.
-
177. Touch My Hand
Thai Movie - 2022
-
178. 7 Project
Thai Drama - 2021, 7 episodes
Only episode 3 is GL.
-
179. Club Friday Season 8: True Love…or Hope
Thai Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
I think the comments make it seem worse than it is. I will say I hated the ending.
-
180. General, Can I Sleep with You?
Chinese Movie - 2021
-
181. The Courtesan and the Female Scholar
Chinese Movie - 2021

-
186. The Young Master and the Tea-Picking Girl

Chinese Movie - 2021
-
188. One Year: 365 Wan Ban Chun Ban Tur
Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
Not worth it. They're barely in it.
-
189. Strawberry Night
Chinese Movie - 2019
-
190. Mother-in-law
Korean Movie - 2019
-
191. An Algorithm

Taiwanese Special - 2012, 3 episodes
-
194. Like Father, Like Daughter
Taiwanese Movie - 2019
-
195. Life is Peachy
Korean Movie - 2011
Not really. I don't like this movie, it's so confusing to follow.
-
196. Secret Crush on You
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
[Kongkwan x Fon]
This is FreenBecky's first appearance together, but I'd say that's the only draw to watching it. It's not worth it just for the GL since they aren't shown that much.
They are also in quite a few other project together: GAP the Series, Uranus2324, The Loyal Pin, and Cranium (airing in 2026).
-
197. Something About Us
Korean Movie - 2016
-
198. Meow Ears Up
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
[Jin x Manni]
Not worth it, they're like the 3rd couple and they barely get screen time. Also, they were only vaguely confirmed in the end.
-
199. Saneha Stories Season 4: Pratthana | Saneha
Thai Drama - 2022, 2 episodes
-
200. Are You Pregnant With My Child?
Korean Movie - 2022
