The Thai series 3 Will Be Free is the ultimate love triangle with a trio involved in openly gay and bisexual relationships. The cast go on an epic, action packed journey with many unexpected twists that keep you guessing. My Girlfriend Is the Man! is also a love triangle between a male character and character that is sometimes male and sometimes female. It plays lightly with BL, GL reconfigurations as the Female lead switches back and forth into a Male lead, variously crushing on her male and female friends. While not as high paced as 3 Will Be Free, the plot similarly keeps you guessing.

This is the older version of the same drama, finally available with English subs - a million thanks to the subber
The story is mostly the same, but there are noticeable changes. The FL is played by Anne, it's one of her earlier dramas.

"My Girlfriend Is the Man!" is bisexual representation but not too explicit, so if you've liked it I highly recommend "Love in the Big City" which is about a gay man and his straight bestie.
"Love in the Big City" is a novel that was adapted into a drama AND a movie. Both are about the same story but have different cast, I recommend watching both as they both explore a little differently the story (obviously since a movie is way shorter than a drama)
So if you've liked MGISTM, go binge Love in the Big City for non-censored gayness!
And if you've liked LITBC, you can check MGISTM if you're in for butterflies in the stomach and giggling at the characters' uniqueness and sweetness <3

I found MGISTM to be very aesthetically pleasing to the eye and it reminded me of Yumi's cells. There aren't much similarities apart from the general 'slice of life feel good romcom' vibe (which is really perfect if you need some giggles, butterflies in your stomach, and spring vibes c: )
Both dramas are so sweet <3
Also, although MGISTM is literally bisexual representation, in Yumi's cells there's one gay character who appears once or twice and from what i remember, there is no more focus on any queer character after that.
Don't forget to check the season 2 of Yumi's cells if you've liked the first season!
Happy watching :D

While watching The First Frost, seeing the female lead bottle up her sadness and carry the weight of a rough past — believing she doesn’t deserve happiness and instinctively rejecting any that comes her way — you may find yourself feeling a deep urge to just be with her, to tell her that everything will be okay.
And that is what hooked me into watching The First Frost
And if that feeling resonates with you, you’re likely to experience the same emotional connection with the female lead in Marriage Contract.
.
What links them isn’t plot — it’s emotional resonance.
.
To be frank, of all the dramas that I had seen before watching The First Frost, I could not get the above-mentioned emotions that got invoked while watching Marriage Contract and boy , I am satisfied to see The First Frost.

.
Also,
The First Frost has a feel-good ending
But the Marriage Contract is a bit more emotional overall and has an open-ended climax, but I am pretty you won't regret watching it.

Both dramas are set in modern urban environments (mostly Seoul) and focus on relatable adult relationships.

They explore the messiness of love, breakups, and reconciliation, rather than idealized romance.

Characters in both shows go through emotional introspection—they often reflect on past mistakes, what love means to them, and what went wrong.

Small, daily moments (like cooking, walking, sharing music) become emotional anchors in the love story.

When life, death, and justice collide... two dramas show us the weight of being human.

In two very different corners of the afterlife, Tomorrow and The Judge from Hell bring us stories that are supernatural, emotional, and painfully real.

Both dramas introduce us to teams from the underworld — not collecting souls, but managing human fate. In Tomorrow, grim reapers fight to save the living from choosing death. In The Judge from Hell, a fierce judge from the afterlife returns to Earth to punish the wicked who escaped justice.

At their core, both dramas ask:
What does it mean to live? What does it mean to deserve punishment?
And most importantly: Is there still hope, even in the darkest places?

They deal with real pain — mental health, trauma, abuse, injustice — wrapped in fantasy worlds full of rules, teams, and missions.
Each episode is a mirror to society, showing how humans suffer… and how they survive.

The leads are unforgettable:

Goo Ryun (Tomorrow) carries centuries of sorrow and fights with empathy.

Kang Nan (The Judge from Hell) burns with rage, but her anger comes from love for justice.

Two women. Two missions.
One to save, one to judge.
Both unforgettable.

If Tomorrow is the hand reaching out to stop you from falling…
The Judge from Hell is the fire that makes sure evil pays for what it’s done.

Together, they create a balance — mercy and justice, hope and consequence.
They’ll make you cry, think, and maybe even heal a little.

Way Back Love and Must You Go? are both mini-series that blend romance with supernatural and time-defying elements to explore love that transcends boundaries. In Way Back Love, a woman facing her final week of life is reunited with her first love—now a Grim Reaper—offering a poignant chance for healing, closure, and rekindled feelings before her time runs out. Similarly, Must You Go? follows an aspiring singer whose world is turned upside down when a talented musician from the Joseon era time-travels to the present, leading to an unexpected connection rooted in destiny and music. Both dramas capture the emotional depth of second chances in love, using fantasy to highlight themes of fate, reconciliation, and the enduring nature of heartfelt bonds. If you're drawn to bittersweet, emotionally resonant stories that explore love beyond limits, both are worth exploring—but each delivers its own distinct emotional journey.
