GL Dramas and Movies That Are Actually Gay
I keep seeing GL lists with movies or shows that aren't even gay so here's my list. I've watched and recommend all of these except for the ones I specifically say aren't worth watching. I've commented on the ones I think are still worth watching even if they don't have a ton of GL.
Feel free to suggest any GLs. I'll be sure to watch them and put them on the list if I think they fit. If you're having trouble finding any of these, message me and I'd be happy to help. (I haven't rated any of these because I don't like to do that) (Some of these are blank because I don't really have a comment to add)

101. GAP
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
[Sam x Mon]
I highly recommend watching this, the chemistry between the two leads is insane.
The two actresses played a couple in a different series on the same YT channel called "Secret Crush on You."
FreenBecky are booked and busy. They're simultaneously filming a movie, Unranus 2324, and their next series, The Loyal Pin.

It's only 4 minutes so you can see for yourself, but I don't like it.
-
110. Good Old Days
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Only eps 9 and 10 have any GL. But even then they are background characters. How are the lesbian couple background characters in a story called "Love Wins"?
-
111. Goodbye, My Baby
Taiwanese Movie - 2022
-
112. Graduation, Present + Propose
Korean Movie - 2021

-
114. Happy to Have You Here
Thai Special - 2021, 1 episode
-
115. Hellcats
Korean Movie - 2008
Kim Minhee is in this so do with that what you will. Not worth it for the GL though.
-
116. Hello? Spring Is Coming
Korean Movie - 2019

Chinese Movie - 2021
-
118. Her

119. Holiday
Thai Movie - 2022
This is basically an add for a manga app, but it is GL.
-
120. Hormones Season 2
Thai Drama - 2014, 13 episodes
[Dao x Koi]
Idk, I just watched their scenes. Also I'm pretty sure their romance doesn't start until season 2, but let me know if I'm wrong.
-
121. Hormones Season 3
Thai Drama - 2015, 13 episodes
[Dao x Koi]
Same thing as season 2.
-
122. House of Hummingbird
Korean Movie - 2018
It's not worth it just for the GL. It doesn't really focus on it.
-
123. How to Ruin Housewarming Party
Korean Movie - 2020
-
124. I Can't
Korean Movie - 2017
-
125. I Do Not Love My Future; I Love Guan Yin
Chinese Movie - 2021
-
126. I Like You, Unnie
Korean Movie - 2022
-
127. I Love Camping
Korean Movie - 2020
Sure.
-
128. i STORIES
Thai Special - 2018, 4 episodes
L is the only on with GL, and you don't need to watch the other ones in order to get it.
-
129. I'm Her Weapon
Chinese Movie - 2022
-
130. I'm Jin Young
Korean Movie - 2006
-
131. Irresistible Falling
Taiwanese Movie - 2023
-
132. Joshi-teki Seikatsu
Japanese Drama - 2018, 4 episodes
Not worth it just for the GL. The series doesn't focus much on the relationship. It's most prominent in the first episode, but from then on it's basically less than 5 minutes per episode. Also, the main character is a trans woman, but she's played by a cis man *eye roll*.
-
133. Kakera: A Piece of Our Life
Japanese Movie - 2010
-
134. Kanojo no Kuchidzuke Kansensuru Libido
Japanese Special - 2022, 4 episodes

Japanese Movie - 2020
-
136. KISS SERVICE
Thai Movie - 2018
-
137. Kuzu no Honkai
Japanese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
[Hanabi x Ecchan/Sanae]
Not worth it. Just watch their scenes on youtube or something.
-
138. Ladytwenty
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Not worth it. Only episodes 3 and 4 could be considered GL and I personally don't. It's tagged with "Lesbian Female Lead" and "Lesbian Romance" and I would wholeheartedly disagree.
-
139. Led Astray by Love
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
The first 15 episodes were originally 17, but they were re-edited to make them less gay, I guess. You can still watch the original 17 eps (and the rest of the series) through the translator Douqi (https://sapphicshortfilms.carrd.co/#ledastraybylove).

Not really. I don't like this movie, it's so confusing to follow.
-

Hong Kong Movie - 2021
-
152. Lonely Girls
Korean Drama - 2024, 4 episodes
-
153. Love in the Tinder Age

It's not about a relationship, but the main is a lesbian.
-
154. Love My Life
Japanese Movie - 2006
-
155. Love of Secret
Thai Drama - 2022, 2 episodes
-
156. Love or Spend
Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 77 episodes
[You Xin x Wei Xuan]
Not worth watching 77 episodes for. But their scenes are very cute especially for 2015.
-
157. Love Senior
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
-
158. Love Songs Love Stories: Pae Jai
Thai Drama - 2015, 2 episodes
-
159. Love Tech
Korean Movie - 2021
-
160. Lucky My Love
Thai Drama - 2023, 5 episodes
-
161. Magic of Zero
Thai Special - 2022, 3 episodes
[Ink x Pa]
It's an anthology, so only the first episode is about InkPa. Very cute. Definitely worth the watch.
This pairing originally showed up in a show called Bad Buddy.
The actresses from this, Milk and Love, are starring in their own GL series on GMMTV called 23.5 องศาที่โลกเอียง. They're playing different characters so it isn't related to BB or MoZ. It should come out in 2023.
-
162. Make Up
Taiwanese Movie - 2011
-
163. Matcha & Vanilla
Japanese Movie - 2021
-
164. Meow Ears Up
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
[Jin x Manni]
Not worth it, they're like the 3rd couple and they barely get screen time. Also, they were only vaguely confirmed in the end.
-
165. Mine
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Watch this show, it's good. The GL is referenced a lot and is a defining character trait/motivation for one of the leads. I will say, it isn't super prominent, because the show is also about a bunch of other things/people. So, if you're looking for just GL, then I wouldn't recommend it.
-
166. Miss Shen and the Woman Warlord
Chinese Special - 2023, 1 episode
-
167. Miss Yeon
Korean Movie - 2017
-
168. Modern Love Tokyo
Japanese Drama - 2022, 7 episodes
Only episode 1 is GL. It features a lesbian couple, but it mainly about one of them struggling with breastfeeding.
-
169. MOMO
Korean Movie - 2016
Stan Twice
-
170. Moon Young
Korean Movie - 2015
Kim Taeri is in this so do with that what you will.
-
171. Moonlit Winter
Korean Movie - 2019
-
172. Mother-in-law
Korean Movie - 2019
-
173. Mr. Egotistic
Korean Movie - 2018
Not worth it for the GL. It's about the guy and it doesn't really show the GL relationship all that much. There are clips on youtube with all the GL scenes and they have amazing titles. My favorite is "He's trying to have an affair with his assistant, but she'd rather bone his wife."
-
174. My Dear
Thai Movie - 2021
-
175. My Dear Friend
Korean Drama - 2019, 4 episodes
-
176. My Fairy Ghost
Japanese Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
-
177. My Roommate
Thai Drama - 2022, 32 episodes
Not really. The show treats them differently than the BL couples to the point where I missed when they actually became a couple.
-
178. Nevertheless,
Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
[Yoon Sol x Seo Jiwan]
Soljiwan CARRIED the entire drama. I really tried to watch the whole drama, not just the Soljiwan stuff, but the main couple is SO insufferable and the ending was pretty disappointing. But Soljiwan are endgame so who cares ultimately.
-
179. No Distance Left to Run
Hong Kong Movie - 2022
-
180. Not Sea Me: You’re Still the One I Love
Thai Movie - 2021
-
181. Nv Er Hong
Chinese Drama - 2023, 27 episodes
-
182. On Air
Korean Movie - 2018
-
183. Once a Time With You
Taiwanese Movie - 2013
-
184. One Summer's Day
Taiwanese Movie - 2020
-
185. One Year: 365 Wan Ban Chun Ban Tur
Thai Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
Not worth it. They're barely in it.
-
186. One-minded
Korean Movie - 2014
Not really worth it tbh, but it's short so if you really want to, it won't take up too much time.
-
187. Only You
Thai Movie - 2020
-
188. Ordinary Family
Korean Movie - 2014
TW: SA
The director, Lee Hyun Joo, was convicted of sexual assault.
Watch it if you want, but for me this really taints the movie for me. If you really want to watch it still, maybe watch it ill*gally so she doesn't get any possible royalties.
-
189. Our Love Story
Korean Movie - 2016
TW: SA
The director, Lee Hyun Joo, was convicted of sexual assault.
Watch it if you want, but for me this really taints the movie for me. If you really want to watch it still, maybe watch it ill*gally so she doesn't get any possible royalties.
-
190. Our Relationship Ended Before It Began
Korean Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
-
191. Our Story
Filipino Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
[Iris x Lorraine]
This is the 3rd season, but you don't need to watch the other 2 seasons for Iris and Lorraine. They're more like a 3rd couple than a 2nd couple. They don't have a ton of screen time together but you can easily scroll to their parts.
-
192. Our Time
Korean Movie - 2022
-
193. Out of Breath
Korean Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
Very cute.
Made by the same people that made She Makes My Heart Flutter.
-
194. Painted Skin
Chinese Movie - 2023
-
195. Pair of Love
Taiwanese Movie - 2010
This is mostly about the BL couple (maybe 70/30). And they left out one of the girls in the GL couple for like half the movie.
-
196. Papa & Daddy
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Not worth it for the GL. But it's a sweet series and I would recommend watching it. There are 2 lesbian couples in this, each with varying amounts of screen time.
-
197. Pearl Next Door
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
It's definitely worth watching and:
Iana Bernardez, who plays Karleen, is in another GL called Stand-In Love.
-
198. Penguins at North Pole
Taiwanese Movie - 2013
-
199. Perfect One-night Stand
Korean Movie - 2020
-
200. Play House
Chinese Movie - 2022
