Korean BL Dramas & Films

Genuine question. Why is this thread pinned? Since this thread is pinned, shouldn't there be a GL dramas thread pinned too? and then a M/F romance dramas thread too to complete the set?

But these are only genres, I don't see the use to pin them like the two other informative threads. (no offense to anyone ofc)

I assume cause the creator of this thread is a moderator for MDL. Aside from that I don't really know.

That aside, for Korean GLs there's no one yet who has started a list like this and is updating it themselves longterm. Most prefer using their own custom lists which is a great source for GL shows. But if anyone feels a calling to start a GL thread I hope they do!

For M/F romance there's no need to start a thread since nearly all dramas are straight romance. You would not be able to keep up, GLs and BLs are at least only a few (or none) releases per year. Straight romance shows air always.

No, because 99% of all South Korean dramas and movies are about straight romance.

It is probably pinned because it is a genre that is difficult to find shows in and someone is taking the effort to update the information and keep it active. GL is also a very niche/small genre. But I guess nobody is making/upkeeping a thread for it.

If someone was to search for South Korean shows. Pretty much every mainstream one would be M/F. Nobody needs to have a dedicated thread for that. It is improbably for someone to pick up a popular Korean show and have it be a BL or GL. It would also be a lot of work for someone to maintain such a thread as there are hundreds of shows & movies that are released every year.
