Editorials queercoding & queer undertones (and/or lgbt side characters)
series that are open to queer readings through queercoding/subtext/undertones, or feature lgbt side characters with not enough presence or relevance to be put into my mlm/wlw lists. personal list so its only stuff i've seen.
-
1. Beyond Evil
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
fairly strong queer undertones - seemingly intentional queercoding based on interviews (an overall well written & affectionate relationship between the two leads regardless)
-
2. Strangers from Hell
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
very strong queer subtext (essentially just text - moonjo is as good as confirmed to be gay which contributes to his interest in jongwoo)

lesbian and gay side characters, implied relationship between implied bisexual women.
