    Oooft this was fantastic. It gave me that similar feeling that anime gives which is so hard to execute in live action shows. Some badass characters and a f***ed up story. I could not stop watching

    Heart-wrenching story of forbidden love during the Gwangju uprising in the 1980s. Amazing acting from both leads and I would give anything to watch this for the first time again.

    This was so fun! I am loving the time-travel concept that a lot of shows in 2023 are going for. This show was also heartbreaking at times and I cried like baby near the end. But mostly it was some good laughs and a lot of giggles

  • Avvocata Woo

    10. Avvocata Woo

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    Still on-going as I add this but I have already fallen in love with the story and characters. Such an amazing plot and does not have a single boring moment yet (Episode 8)

  • Nevertheless

    11. Nevertheless

    Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    Personally, I loved the cinematography and the style of this show. It's a toxic relationship but it represents the passion in both love and art in the most addictive way. I couldn't look away

  • Navillera

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    9.5

    I put this one off at first because the synopsis didn't excite me but once I watched it, I did not regret it at all. It was an amazing story and definitely made me question my life and whether I will look back at an old age and regret any of my decisions.

  • Twenty Five Twenty One

    13. Twenty Five Twenty One

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    Really captivating the entire time. The pacing and the script was done in a way where you question everything as you watch. What is the truth?

  • His

    17. His

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    9.0

    The acting in this carried the story a lot of the time. I appreciate the representation of LGBTQ+ struggles and how many people continue to suffer in countries where it is not as widely accepted.

  • Light On Me

    18. Light On Me

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    9.0

    This BL has been one of the only BLs that put in the same amount of effort in the story, production, OST, and acting as a straight drama. It has a beautiful storyline and pulls at your heartstring the whole way through.

  • Utsukushii Kare

    19. Utsukushii Kare

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    I have watched this probably 2-3 times now. I LOVE the chemistry and the story even though it's a bit toxic. The aesthetics are also amazing. Would recommend the entire series including the movie

  • Tune in for Love

    20. Tune in for Love

    Korean Movie - 2019

    I appreciate that this does not follow the usual tropes of Korean love stories and I love the indie feel of the cinematography. 

  • Your Name Engraved Herein

    21. Your Name Engraved Herein

    Taiwanese Movie - 2020

    8.0

    Another great LGBT+ movie about love in a dangerous time. I think this movie went about it really well but fair warning; be prepared to shed some tears.

    I have to add this one in even though the budget didn't seem very high, this show was one of the most satisfying revenge plots I've ever watched.
