Looking for gay romance movies/dramas!

free_dreamer
I'm looking for movies or dramas with a gay lead. I've only watched "No Regret" so far and I quite liked that. I'll give pretty much anything a try, but I really, really can't stand romantic comedies. Other than that: Hit me with it! Thanks!

I have not seen anything yet with a gay lead; gay people seem to be hard to find in Dramaland! (I have only seen a few gay supporting characters.) I'm pretty sure, though, that this question has been asked before! Right now, all I can find is this thread: http://mydramalist.com/forum/showthread.php?2220-Dramas-featuring-LGBT-characters I'm sure you'll find good suggestions there.

I've never watched any, but I heard of this japanese series of movies about gay romance:

soshite harukaze ni sasayaite: http://mydramalist.com/japanese-movie/1412/soshite-harukaze-ni-sasayaite
nijiiro no garasu: http://mydramalist.com/japanese-movie/1413/nijiiro-no-garasu

I wanted to say the Takumi kun series, but the person above me posted those, they are really good if you choose to watch them. They are available on YT as well :)

"Junjou" and "just friends" are good, but I see they're already on your list. http://mydramalist.com/korean-movie/4949/love-100-c100 is by the same director as :Just Friends" but is a little heavier.
I have some suggestions. The acting is a little iffy at times, but if you can deal with that you might like these:

http://mydramalist.com/japanese-movie/2478/ai-no-kotodama
http://mydramalist.com/japanese-movie/1499/itsuka-no-kimi-e
This one leans a bit toward romantic comedy movie, so it might not be your thing.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! Some of those sound really, really interesting. I'll take a closer look at every recommendation I got here, though. I'm sure there's a lot I'm going to like. :)

Eternal Summer I really loved it even though I watched it without knowing the "gay touch" Watched it for the sexy Joseph Chang <3

Since there are already Thai Movies, try The Love Of Siam. It's a Teen Gay Romance though. But I love it :)

I second Two Weddings and a Funeral and The Love of Siam (my favorite movie ever).

I've put together a list for movies, dramas, and drama specials that have gay themes and characters:

Gay M/M - (movies & dramas)

These are not all "romance", but hopefully it'll help you in your search.  :)

I thought I'd seen a lot of gay-themed Asian movies, but once I started Googling... holy carp!  Currently I've got 129 titles on the list.  And that's not counting the ones from other countries, such as the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc.


EDIT:  To make this list more manageable, I've split it up by country:

Gay M/M Korea - (movies & dramas)
Gay M/M Japan - (movies & dramas)
Gay M/M Thailand - (movies & dramas)
Gay M/M Hong Kong - (movies & dramas)
Gay M/M China - (movies & dramas)
Gay M/M Taiwan - (movies & dramas)
