Does this even exist at all?! I hope it does. I can't help you with this one, but I wanted to say thank you for asking! This is something I want to know, too! :) I watch mostly Japanese dramas, but I'd try a good k-drama too if something comes up in the comments.
I'm always open for possible subtexts, but so far I've only heard somebody
mention a lesbian couple once in a j-drama... Once, I thought that a character was a lesbian because of the way she acted around another woman, but then she started talking about being in love with a man, so I guess I was wrong! (But I dropped that drama, so I don't know for sure.) I have seen gay men once or twice as minor characters... I was surprised, actually, to realize that homosexual characters are so rare, knowing that it's a thing in manga/anime.

Oh... that's sad. :( Not so much because
we can't watch dramas with gay characters, but it's sad for Korean lesbians. I'm guessing that it's not easy to be open, if viewers even complain about things they see on TV.
