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)

Not worth it just for the GL. Interesting show, but they don’t really focus on it much.
-
208. Re:Wind

Same as the original series. Also if you're going to watch this, you should watch it after the original series (on Netflix it shows up as the 13th ep) because it has spoilers.
