5. Couple of Mirrors
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Favorite full-length Chinese GL, if not the only one. Not perfect by any means, but I love the feel and plotline. Defintely enjoyed it more on the second watch.

6. The King's Affection
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
One of my favorite tropes with female lead desguising as a man. So far, favorite show with it. If only they did not play the same two songs for romantic scenes, I'd give it a 10. Regardless, love the show, it did exactly what it should with this trope.

7. Killer and Healer
Chinese Drama - 2021, 37 episodes
Another favorite of the Chinese BL. Defintely made me feel a lot while watching. The only complain is the "comedic relief"character, whose absense was a relief itself. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.
