LGBTQIA+ Shows/Movies
As someone who identifies as queer, I love seeing representation in movies. <3
If it doesn't have what kind of ending, it is most likely a happy one :)

108. Love Class Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
I love it. The second couple was the best. I love J-min, but the chemistry was not as good as Maru and Minwoo's. I hate to say it but I wish Maru and Minwoo were the main couple because the plot for the main couple was super confusing until 3/4 of the way through. I still enjoyed it though. Stan Bae173

-
122. My Personal Weatherman
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
The acting was great, but it was the story that did it for me. That relationship is so toxic and they don't even resolve their problems at the end. I understand it is based on a manga, but it was a little ridiculous. I personally think this was made for the fetishizers. I was very uncomfortable with their sex scenes because of how their relationship was. It seems to me that this was not made for representation but for views. Whether or not this is because of the manga artist or the people in charge of the show, they should have known this level of toxicity is not cute or sexy.

155. Star Struck
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
okay so... the pining was great. the ending was extremely rushed and did not clear up the plot holes. It had so much potential. I think the acting was good. I was very disappointed with the last half of the show. I could have actually banged my head against the wall when I saw the end. It has a happy ending, but due to the editing, directing, and perhaps not having enough time the ending was lackluster.
