  • The Demon Judge

    1. The Demon Judge

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    9.5

    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.

    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

    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

    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

  • Le Jeu de la Mort Partie 2

    14. Le Jeu de la Mort Partie 2

    Korean Drama - 2024, 4 episodes

    9.5

    (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.

  • Stranger

    15. Stranger

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    9.0

    (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
