1. The Killer Is Also Romantic
Chinese Drama - 2022, 18 episodes
One of the few that I can rewatch, and it's also on the list of my *regular* drama favourites!
Mr. & Mrs. Smith in ancient China!!!
-
2. A First Love Story
Korean Drama - 2021, 2 episodes
One of the most butterfly-in-the-stomach inducing 15 minutes of my drama-watching life!
-
3. Out of Breath
Korean Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
The best Korean GL. Still waiting for something to top it!!
-
4. A Familiar Stranger
Chinese Drama - 2022, 18 episodes
Killer chemistry, good story, memorable characters (including the antagonists), great production.
From the same creators as The Killer Is Also Romantic.
-
5. Dong Lan Xue
Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes
"Villain" leads in a Chinese drama, what more do you want? :D
But also great visuals and a concrete story with no fillers!
-
6. Legend of Yun Qian
Chinese Drama - 2020, 15 episodes
My first costume GL, so it holds a special place in my heart!
Classic opposites attract, typical wuxia themes, time travel/transmigration, but with a HE. Let's not pretend this is deep, but it was a good labour of love attempt that opened the doors for many of its kind (also, Wang Lao Ji ftw)!
-
7. The Deliberations of Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
-
8. Legend of Yunze
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
The next Wang Lao Ji-led costume GL project after Yun Qian.
In this one, the plot gets thicker and thicker (and it has a great supernatural almost-creepy vibe to it at times), and it got successful enough that it was actually followed by a modern-day spin-off and a second season (in which there were plenty of plot twists you wouldn't expect)!
-
9. The Other Half of Me and You
Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes
Gender role reversal, Actual Sci-Fi, concrete plot (if not without some plot holes), social commentary, good chemistry (the leads were dating at the time), badass FL, laugh-out-loud comedy/parody!
-
10. Order of the Sommelier
Chinese Drama - 2022, 64 episodes
Unique theme and setting!
-
11. The Origin of Eternity
Chinese Drama - 2022, 23 episodes
-
12. My Decoy Bride
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
-
13. Men Zhu
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Kick-ass female lead, jianghu setting, assassins, hidden identities... my kind of things! Also, since this is so short, no fillers.
And Yang Yi Mo. I mean, look at her!
-
14. Cheng Xi's Song
Chinese Drama - 2023, 33 episodes
Yang Yi Mo. Villain, half-crazy leads. Killer chemistry. Kind of Shakespearean tragedy/karma. Great visuals.
-
15. Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shang
Chinese Drama - 2022, 27 episodes
Gender role reversal, kind of. Great chemistry, and a badass female lead in leader position "above" the ML.
-
16. Seal of Love
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Badass FL leader of the "demonic" sect. Hidden identities & heart-breaking love-triangles. Multiple life-times/reincarnations. All the things you love (and possibly hate) in a xianxia, but without the non-ending fillers & side-characters' stories.
-
17. We Are Peaceful Brothers
Korean Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
-
18. Led Astray by Love
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
Yang Yi Mo in a leader position in a historical time-travel palace drama, but GL!
-
19. Is Xian Zun Whitewashed Today?
Chinese Drama - 2022, 25 episodes
-
20. Yes, Her Majesty
Chinese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
Overall good production, a kind of atypical palace drama with a strong FL in a leader position, a great progression in the romance department, some mystery & plot twists, and some really funny moments, too.
-
21. The West Wind Is Strong
Chinese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes
-
22. The 8.2 Second Rule
Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
Japanese and their cute slice-of-life healing food dramas! :) This one has a gay male lead, too!
On the plus points that they provide a recipe for each episode's dessert! I wouldn't mind another 10 episodes of it.
-
23. Butterflied Lover
Chinese Drama - 2023, 22 episodes
-
24. A Tale of Love and Loyalty
Chinese Drama - 2024, 20 episodes
