  • The Killer Is Also Romantic

    1. The Killer Is Also Romantic

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 18 episodes

    9.0

    One of the few that I can rewatch, and it's also on the list of my *regular* drama favourites!

    Mr. & Mrs. Smith in ancient China!!!

  • A First Love Story

    2. A First Love Story

    Korean Special - 2021, 2 episodes

    9.5

    One of the most butterfly-in-the-stomach inducing 15 minutes of my drama-watching life!

  • Out of Breath

    3. Out of Breath

    Korean Drama - 2019, 3 episodes

    9.5

    The best Korean GL. Still waiting for something to top it!!

  • A Familiar Stranger

    4. A Familiar Stranger

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 18 episodes

    8.5

    Killer chemistry, good story, memorable characters (including the antagonists), great production.

    From the same creators as The Killer Is Also Romantic.

  • Dong Lan Xue

    5. Dong Lan Xue

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes

    8.5

    "Villain" leads in a Chinese drama, what more do you want? :D 

    But also great visuals and a concrete story with no fillers!

  • Legend of Yun Qian

    6. Legend of Yun Qian

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 15 episodes

    9.5

    My first costume GL, so it holds a special place in my heart! 

    Classic opposites attract, typical wuxia themes, time travel/transmigration, but with a HE. Let's not pretend this is deep, but it was a good labour of love attempt that opened the doors for many of its kind (also, Wang Lao Ji ftw)!

  • The Deliberations of Love

    7. The Deliberations of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    9.0
  • Legend of Yunze

    8. Legend of Yunze

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    9.0

    The next Wang Lao Ji-led costume GL project after Yun Qian. 

    In this one, the plot gets thicker and thicker (and it has a great supernatural almost-creepy vibe to it at times), and it got successful enough that it was actually followed by a modern-day spin-off and a second season (in which there were plenty of plot twists you wouldn't expect)!

  • The Other Half of Me and You

    9. The Other Half of Me and You

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 32 episodes

    9.0

    Gender role reversal, Actual Sci-Fi, concrete plot (if not without some plot holes), social commentary, good chemistry (the leads were dating at the time), badass FL, laugh-out-loud comedy/parody!

  • Order of the Sommelier

    10. Order of the Sommelier

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 64 episodes

    8.5

    Unique theme and setting!

  • The Origin of Eternity

    11. The Origin of Eternity

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 23 episodes

    8.5
  • My Decoy Bride

    12. My Decoy Bride

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    8.0
  • Men Zhu

    13. Men Zhu

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    8.5

    Kick-ass female lead, jianghu setting, assassins, hidden identities... my kind of things! Also, since this is so short, no fillers. 

    And Yang Yi Mo. I mean, look at her!

  • Cheng Xi's Song

    14. Cheng Xi's Song

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 33 episodes

    8.0

    Yang Yi Mo. Villain, half-crazy leads. Killer chemistry. Kind of Shakespearean tragedy/karma. Great visuals.

  • Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shang

    15. Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shang

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 27 episodes

    8.5

    Gender role reversal, kind of. Great chemistry, and a badass female lead in leader position "above" the ML.

  • Seal of Love

    16. Seal of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes

    8.0

    Badass FL leader of the "demonic" sect. Hidden identities & heart-breaking love-triangles. Multiple life-times/reincarnations. All the things you love (and possibly hate) in a xianxia, but without the non-ending fillers & side-characters' stories.

  • We Are Peaceful Brothers

    17. We Are Peaceful Brothers

    Korean Drama - 2017, 15 episodes

    8.5
  • Led Astray by Love

    18. Led Astray by Love

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes

    8.0

    Yang Yi Mo in a leader position in a historical time-travel palace drama, but GL!

  • Is Xian Zun Whitewashed Today?

    19. Is Xian Zun Whitewashed Today?

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 25 episodes

    8.5
  • Yes, Her Majesty

    20. Yes, Her Majesty

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes

    8.5

    Overall good production, a kind of atypical palace drama with a strong FL in a leader position, a great progression in the romance department, some mystery & plot twists, and some really funny moments, too.

  • The West Wind Is Strong

    21. The West Wind Is Strong

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 20 episodes

    8.0
  • 8.2 Byo no Hosoku

    22. 8.2 Byo no Hosoku

    Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes

    8.0

    Japanese and their cute slice-of-life healing food dramas! :) This one has a gay male lead, too!

     On the plus points that they provide a recipe for each episode's dessert! I wouldn't mind another 10 episodes of it.
