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)

[Yiwa x Marine]
It obviously about the BL couple, but the GL couple get a decent amount of screen time and are treated like a real side/secondary couple.
And yes, I do have a crush on Yiwa. There's a special episode that they are in too.
Aya, who plays Yiwa, is also in the BL Love Sea as a side pairing with another actress.
Aya will star in her own GL called Love Beyond Dreams that's supposed to air in 2026.

![Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy]()
410. Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy

Not worth it. Only the 3rd one has any semblance of GL. Nothing actually happens, she just talks about a past relationship.

It isn’t technically GL, but it sure is homoerotic. You’re not missing out on much if you don’t watch this.
-
![Wishing For Happiness]()
416. Wishing For Happiness
Taiwanese Special - 2012, 3 episodes
-
![Wrath]()
417. Wrath

![You Are the Sea]()
427. You Are the Sea
Japanese Movie - 2017
It's not worth it for the GL, but even then I really liked it. The GL isn't super present, but I think it's still worth watching either way. And it's only an hour long.

![You I Didn't Know]()
429. You I Didn't Know

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.
