1. Like in the Movies
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
i prefer solid endings as i hate ambiguity, but this show felt like the writer ripped karl's struggle with coming to terms with his sexuality, parental pressure, and feeling like you're living out someone else's life right out of my brain

2. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
life changing, revolutionary, amazing, never been done before, absolutely iconic, a timeless masterpiece that will never be able to be topped. if you aren't a little fruity then you will probably hate teh, but if you are and/or have struggled with internalized homophobia, this show was made for you
pls block me if you are a teh hater

4. It's Okay, That's Love
Korean Drama - 2014, 16 episodes
a little older so it's kind of dated in some society norms or whatever you call it
but you go into this thinking "yay i can have a little laugh at the enemy to lovers dynamic" and come out with ✨emotional damage✨ and a therapy bill

8. Where Your Eyes Linger (Director’s Cut)
Korean Movie - 2023
i like both the original and the directors cut, but i'm adding the directors cut because of the added voiceovers which help the viewer understand more
-
9. A Shoulder to Cry On
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
i know most people either love this or hate it. i had read the webtoon before watching but i went into it with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. i do wish the editing/pacing was a bit different but overall it's an enjoyable watch and i really do like this show
also the OST is a banger
(and of course - trauma)

11. To My Star
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
the very first time i watched this i was overly critical of the half-assed script. but in hindsight, i think for the time period when the show was made, they actually did a damn good job with what they had. the emotions from the two main leads are so on point and very often, if i'm bored with the shows i'm currently watching, i give this a rewatch and enjoy it immensely.
