Gay Romance Side Stories (Dramas)
This list is of Gay Romance/Relationship/Hook-up/Implied Mutual Affection side stories.
It will mainly include shows that are not known as "BLs" or that I feel are lesser known (probably having a heterosexual first lead couple). The primary pairings include lead, support, or guest roles (which I will note next to the title). The screen time of the side couples may range from a few minutes to hours. Those that have very little screentime, I may have included because they somehow contributed to the plot. All countries are included.
Notes:
- Any dramas with a first lead "BL" couple will not be included.
- Please note that these titles have no guarantee of a happy, healthy relationship or ending to that relationship.
*This list will be made up of only dramas I've seen and have decided fit the list. Note that this is all based on my own opinion. Please let me know if you think I should add the character names to the list.
