Yurism

The subtle GL between Bonnie and Emi was a 6.0 because the two actresses are an established GL couple and it is overtly implied that the two women get together in the end, but while their visuals are amazing as always, they were not given any real screentime or substance in the plot. This would have been amazing GL if Bonnie and Emi received even a quarter of dedicated screentime.

All the females in this drama had GL energy and there were a lot of possible matchups and parts of the plot supported such a conclusion; especially between the two mothers within the show who developed a non-romantic joint custody of their son in the end. Likewise, the 2FL was an actually lesbian with lost love storyline. A lot of wasted potential due to censorship but I'd still give the drama a 5.5 as a GL drama.

This drama queerbaits hard and even features an important scene in which two beautiful women kiss and this aggressive kissing scene plays a notable part in the narrative; did I mention one girl is a tough bad girl who works as a thot and the girl being kissed is a femme lipstick girl who despises 'gays' with passion. The entire college setting and sapphic ensemble of every flavor of college girl living as roommates had so much potential, but then censorship struck and the GL storyline failed to develop. The aggregate score on mydramalist (8.5) for this drama is perfect as this is an amazing drama and coming of age story, but its a 4.5 as a GL story.

There were a lot of noticeable and entertaining side characters in the first season of Squid Game, which is a main point of the whole drama, but a lot of viewers had their hearts stolen by the GL couple which like most characters died in the end; but with limited screentime this GL pairing made a strong impact despite the Korean censorship of anything GL and it is memorable. I would give Squid Game Season One a score of 5.0 as a GL drama. The aggregate viewer score is mydramalist (8.4).

The potential GL was obvious; especially between the FL and 2FL but both women ended up with boring yet okay male love interests (okay partners but the romantic or sexual energy in this drama was only between the FL and 2FL). My score is a 4.5 for wasted depth. The aggregate viewer score is mydramalist (8.5).

The potential GL was obvious; especially between the FL and 2FL, they oozed chemistry and there were other possible GL matchups with great chemistry (the ML was okay) meaning there was no reason not to upgrade to GL romantic partner. My score is a 4.5 for wasted depth. The aggregate viewer score is mydramalist (8.2).

This drama is feminism pure and simple, a drama about girl bosses and rivalries between very smart women that feel sapphic and borderline lesbian. There were a lot of possible matchups in this drama between leading women that made sense and queerbaiting is arguably the core identity of this drama. The central FL ends up in a 'noona romance' with a very good looking and charismatic younger guy, so she doesn't lose out in that regard, but from start to finish most viewers were hoping that the FL would end up in an explicit or implied GL romance with both or either the 2FL or 3FL. As a potential GL drama I would give this drama a 4.5 but the aggregate score on mydramalist (8.2) is fair enough. for this drama overall

This is a GL masquerading as a 'sismance' because of censorship, on mydramalist (8.1) is a fair score considering viewers were queerbaited the entire time only for an underwhelming heterosuxual pairing and the power of friendship being used as an excuse to cover up the queerbait. As a GL this drama is about 4.5 and before the mainstream age of Korean GL recently began, this drama was one of the closest and only GL that Korea possessed.

One of the main characters is lesbian shaman and her sexual nature is show overtly during the drama, and there is a lot of GL energy between the three female leads with different potential matchups. Also the villainous male lead ends up dead related to his lover the FL choosing her 'female friend' over a 'man' to conclude the story. Once again censorship ruins the day but I'd still give this show a 4.5 as a GL drama.

As a GL this drama was lackluster and its amazing that Korea has reached the point where two young girls in a drama can be lesbians and there budding romance can be part of the main story without homophobic tropes but annoyingly the daughters GL relationship was a 4.5 with very little conclusion or substance and even if one of them was a boy the romance would still be just plain badly written; not that this drama was overall well written. The aggregate score for this drama on mydramalist (7.7)

FL is a lesbian who is exiled to the rural town setting b/c of her sexuality but that is where the GL energy mostly stops developing.... unless you pay attention to the potential incestual mother X daughter storyline developing... which is why I give this show a 4.5 rating as a GL drama. The aggegrate score for this drama on mydramalist (7.5)

We get told very quietly that the FL is a lesbian but overtly the show keeps throwing hints or tries to ship the FL and ML during their extensive screentime. A very subtle implication is that the FL has feelings or might have ended up in a relationship with the female villain who was her confidante before revealing her villainous alignment. The show is not a romance and so as a GL there is practically nothing to mention, I'd give a 4.0 as a possible GL drama score.

The potential GL storyline or ending was right there but at the last second the director tapped into the power of censorship and decided to give the 3FL a hetero romance ending; which was a major example of queerbaiting. Then, the teenage storyline which could have ended with a GL youth romance decided to end with a hetero pairing which honestly was indicated from the start but a GL youth romance ending would have been a pleasant surprise. The FL actually had a good romance with the ML and was not involved in a GL plot or subtle GL pairing but for some reason every drama the FL touches has some sort of GL sublot and Korean censorship; I really believe she might secretly by a lesbian and/or is destined to play a breakout GL role in the Korean film industry one day. I'd give this drama a 3.5 as a GL drama which is the same score as another drama the FL is part of and on this list. The aggegrate score for this drama on mydramalist (8.4).

The potential GL storyline was addictive, especially with it being Moon Ga-young, and the lack of any chemistry between the ML and FL (the latter who was screaming GL energy). I'd give it a 3.5 as a GL drama. The aggegrate score for this drama on mydramalist (7.9).

Haven't been able to find a place to watch this movie.
