GL Dramas and Movies That Are Actually Gay
I keep seeing GL lists with movies or shows that aren't even gay so here's my list. I've watched and recommend all of these except for the ones I specifically say aren't worth watching. I've commented on the ones I think are still worth watching even if they don't have a ton of GL.
Feel free to suggest any GLs. I'll be sure to watch them and put them on the list if I think they fit. If you're having trouble finding any of these, message me and I'd be happy to help. (I haven't rated any of these because I don't like to do that) (Some of these are blank because I don't really have a comment to add)

[Ongsa x Sun} [Luna x Aylin}
The long awaited MilkLove GL series! I'm in this 23.5 shit for life. Such a cute series.
They first played a couple in Bad Buddy and an episode of Magic of Zero where they played Ink and Pa in both.
Upcoming series:i
- Whale Store xoxo (Main Couple, airing 2025)

-
11. 24 Hours
Taiwanese Movie - 2015
It's not about the relationship.
-
12. 2PM Campus
Korean Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
Only episode 2 is GL. The stories intersect, but you don't really need to watch the other episodes to understand it.
-
13. 42 Kg Nak Kae Nai Gor Rak
Thai Drama - 2021, 2 episodes
-
14. A Complicated Story
Hong Kong Movie - 2013
Not worth it. The story is about other things and it probably makes up less then 5 minutes of the runtime.
-
15. A Flower for Three Lives
Chinese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
-
16. A Girl at My Door
Korean Movie - 2014
Not really worth it just for the GL. The main character's sexuality is a big part of this movie, but this isn't about the relationship. It's still worth the watch.
-
17. A Practical Guide to Being a Superstar's Assistant
Chinese Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
-
18. A Search Through Nine Lifetimes

-
24. After and After Then?
Taiwanese Movie - 2020
-
25. Aka X Pinku
Japanese Movie - 2014
Note that the main character is pretty explicitly a trans guy so really the main couple isn't GL. But there's also another couple that's more in the background. Still worth watching.
-
26. Albino
Japanese Movie - 2016
NOT worth it. Literally the reason I made this list. After watching this, I felt like I had to warn people. Yeah it's gay, but at what cost?! If the only reason you want to watch this is because it has GL, don't. It's basically torture porn. TW:SA
-
27. Alice: Crack of Season
Korean Movie - 2016
-
28. All Mine
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Watch this show, it's good. The GL is referenced a lot and is a defining character trait/motivation for one of the leads. I will say, it isn't super prominent, because the show is also about a bunch of other things/people. So, if you're looking for just GL, then I wouldn't recommend it.

29. Am I The Only One With Butterflies?
Korean Special - 2018, 3 episodes
-

-
33. Apple
Thai Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
-
34. Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo.
Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Not worth it. One character is a lesbian, but she likes a straight girl.
-
35. Are We Really Done?
Korean Movie - 2017
-
36. Are You Pregnant With My Child?
Korean Movie - 2022
-
37. Ayaka-chan wa Hiroko-senpai ni Koishiteru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
If a lesbian is going to be one thing, it's always going to be: be oblivious that a girl likes you.
-
38. Back to Back
Chinese Movie - 2022
-
39. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
[Ink x Pa]
They're side characters, so they're not in the show a ton. It's on youtube (channel: GMMTV Official) so it's pretty easy to scrub through to find just their scenes.
Other series with Milk and Love:
- Magic of Zero (1st ep of anthology series)
- 23.5 องศาที่โลกเอียง (Main Couple)
- Whale Store xoxo (Main Couple, airing 2025)
- Girl Rules (1 of 3 Main Couple pairings, airing 2025)

-

-
44. Beautiful Vampire

Not worth it. The flashbacks are cute, but they make up like maybe 3 minutes of the run time.
-
45. Beginning of Summer
Chinese Movie - 2021
-
46. Beguine
Thai Movie - 2018
-
47. BetCin
Filipino Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
I didn't like this series, it didn't make me root for them. That's just my opinion though. You should watch it and make up your own mind about it.
-
48. Between The Seasons
Korean Movie - 2019
-
49. Billie and Emma
Filipino Movie - 2018
-
50. Blue
Japanese Movie - 2003
-
51. Blue Gate Crossing
Taiwanese Movie - 2002
Not worth it. It's mainly about her and the boy.
-
52. Boss in Love
Korean Movie - 2018
The actresses in this are in so many other GLs. It feels like finding Waldo anytime I see them in something.
-
53. Both a Guy and a Girl Like Me at the Same Time
Korean Movie - 2020
-
54. Brain Man
Japanese Movie - 2013
Not worth it. They're barely in it.

-
64. Clasper

-
65. Club Friday The Series 12: Rak Tee Mai Mee Krai Roo
Thai Special - 2020, 4 episodes
This one is GL despite what that one comments says. It's like a decent amount of the show.
-
66. Club Friday The Series 8: True Love…or Hope
Thai Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
I think the comments make it seem worse than it is. I will say I hated the ending.
-
67. Cocoon
Chinese Movie - 2017
-
68. Condo/Barista/Architect
Thai Drama - 2016, 4 episodes
-
69. Couple of Mirrors
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
[You Yi x Yan Wei (or Wei Wei but only if you're You Yi)]
It's GL, but it's censored. They're practical together, it just isn't said. It's supposed to be getting a second season, but there hasn't been any news in a while.
-

-
82. Drama Special Season 2: Daughters of Bilitis Club
Korean Special - 2011, 1 episode
-
83. Drama Special Season 4: Jin Jin
Korean Special - 2013, 1 episode
-
84. Drama Special Season 5: First Birthday
Korean Special - 2014, 1 episode
Not worth it. This is all about the dysfunctional married couple. KBS can only come up with one GL plot and it's girl is in love with best friend and best friend is in love with mutual guy friend.
Also the acting and dialogue in the climax are so cringey.
-
85. Dream
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
They'll have a second series called Somewhere Somehow.
-

Korean Drama - 2020, 3 episodes
-
90. Exchange Student
Korean Movie - 2019
-
91. Fake Buddies
Korean Drama - 2024, 7 episodes
The 7 eps are split up between a GL couple and a BL couple. The GL episodes are 2, 3, 6, and 7, but you might also need to watch ep 1 for it to make more sense.

-
94. Fantasy of the Girls
