right? would be awesome to see more korean GLs. but i really believe it's just a matter of time until other countries see how successful GL can be
Thailand tends to head the queer media bandwagon in Asia. Like, Korea released its first gay drama “Long Time No See” in 2017, but the drama that is credited for launching the BL genre in Korea is largely considered to be “Where Your Eyes Linger” in 2020. Meanwhile, Thailand has been at it consistently for much longer, producing more full-length dramas, and growing the industry a lot faster.
Japan could have a certain amount of claim to leading the bandwagon as well. Especially in the context of feature-length films.
