Gay subtext K-Dramas

Kang Yohan x Kim Gaon
(Jisung x Park Jinyoung)

SO GOOD!! Acting is fantastic, visuals and special effects are great... Nearly perfect. There *IS* a female love interest but the male leads have more chemistry imo, would still describe as queer-coded (especially considering some things in the script)

Old man yaoi = ✔️

Lee Dongsik x Han Joowon
(Shin Hakyun x Yeo Jingoo)

Cop x Crazy guy pretty much, phenomenal acting. 10/10.
Focuses only on the main leads, no side romance 100% chemistry.

I could talk about this show forever.
Old man Yaoi = ✔️

Seo Do Young x Han Dong Soo
(Kim Youngkwang x Shin Hakyun)

Crazy psychopath x Dork lawyer
Noir/dark vibes, love their dynamic tbh. Doyoung is completely whipped for dongsoo, nothing but evil gay thoughts in his brain. He probably filmingthey're filming a rom-com. To quote my mutual: "He was fighting for his love while dongsoo was fighting for his life."

Side romance: Not really, Dongsoo does kind of have a wife though
Old man Yaoi = ✔️

Yoon Hwapyung x Mateo (Choi Yoon)
(Kim Dongwook x Kim Jaewook)

Psychic x Priest. Exorcising demons together, really underrated show :(

Side romance: No, but there is a really dope female lead character! ^^
Old man Yaoi = ✔️✔️

Seo Moonjo x Yoon Jongwoo
(Lee Dongwok x Yim Siwan)

Psycho dentist x Normal guy
Relatively slow paced psychological thriller, but it is sooo good. Totally worth the watch

Side romance: Sorta? The role Siwan plays does have a girlfriend but she's barely involved in the story
Old man yaoi = ✔️

(Sol Kyungu x Jo Hyunsoo)
(Han Jaeho  x  Yim Siwan)

Gangster action type movie, intense and gay. SO underrated, great screenplay. Absolutely amazing.

Side romance: No
Old man Yaoi = ✔️

Ahn Joonho x Han Hoyul  
(Jung Haein x Koo Kyohwan)

Military misery bromance, such a fantastic show.  (I'd also like to give Bae Nara a shoutout for his incredible performance portraying an LGBTQ+ character briefly in S2 :') )

Side romance: No
Old man yaoi = ✔️

Kim Jehyuk x Lee Joonho 
(Park Haesoo x Jung Kyungho)

Prison Guard and Inmate
Dumb and Dumber
Black cat and Golden retriever
Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum ...list goes on...

Old man Yaoi = Yes?

(Kim Sungryong x Seo Yool)
(Namkoong Min x Lee Junho)

Hilarious office bromance, love them. A lot of cheek kisses??? (They also won 'Best Couple award' during KBS Drama Awards 2017 ) Iconic

Side romance: Not really
Old man Yaoi = ✔️?

(Ryu Sooyeol x  " K ") 
(Lee Dongwook x Wi Hajoon)

I mean, this one... counts, right?
Cop x Crazy righteous guy "K"
Fast paced, energetic & humoristic!!

Side romance: Technically, but not main focus & few scenes

Yook Dongsik x Seo Inwoo
(Yoon Shiyoon x Park Sunghoon)

Guy who is convinced hes a psycho x Actual Psycho. Very funny

Side romance: No

Kim Geonwoo  x Hong Woojin  
(Woo Dohwan x Lee Sangyi)

Boxer bestfriends, fantastic chemistry & bond. I would describe this one as more bromance definetely but its so good. Season 2 coming soon!

Side romance: No
Old man Yaoi = 30s

Lim Kyunam x Ri Hyeonsang
(Koo Kyohwan x Lee Jehoon)

CANON (past relationship):
Koo Kyohwan x Song Kang

Short movie (1hr 30min) that just released online, pretty intense plot about a military deserter/escapee from north korea. The sub-plot is definetely gay but very brief! But there is also Kyunam x Hyeonsang
Old man Yaoi = ✔️

(Jung Gyu Chul x Park Tae Woo)
Kim Jaewook x Kim Jihoon

Only a small part of the show as Gyuchul (played by jaewook) is merely one of the reincarnations, but it is toxic gay subtext if you believe hard enough !! Still watch Part1 before though, such a well-made show.
Old man Yaoi = ✔️✔️

(Hwang Si Mok x Seo Dong Jae)

Slow progressing but very well written crime plot!! Often praised as one of the best out there, as for the bromance you probably wont see the 2 guys together for a pretty long time but they are a pretty big ship, maybe dont watch if you're bad with slow paced shows

Side romance: Not really, its strangers to friendship

Kim Ji Yong x Cho Kang Ok

sorta humorous bromance,enjoyed it!

Side romance: No
Old man Yaoi = I guess?

Not old man yaoi

Side romance: Yes...... FL is very annoying, I don't think I ever got to finishing this one? So ignore for now

i dont remember adding this
