A Very Queer List
Mainly BL to be honest. Just something to keep track of shows/movies I have watched and can easily encourage others to watch too!
-
1. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
This story was so beatiful and carried so well by the actors - artsy and weird and I'm obsessed.
-
2. Ossan no Pants ga Nandatte Ii Janai ka!
Japanese Drama - 2024, 11 episodes
This show explores queerness and gender from an outside point of view, and everything is treated in a very kind and beautiful way.
-
3. Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2
Japanese Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
This show is on this list three times and the second season just kept on improving from the previous installments. The acting is excellent, especially Shiro, they can just kill you with the tiniest facial expressions.
-
4. 4Minutes (Sultrier Version)
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
This was superbly executed and acted story, the visuals were fantastic and the story was unique as can be.
-
5. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
Gayest show where they don't even kiss, top marks, well done boys
-
6. A First Love Story
Korean Special - 2021, 2 episodes
It's unfair that there isn't more than 16 minutes of these two. The acting was top notch, characters cute and I'm definitely re-watching this on a rainy day.
-
7. Koisenu Futari
Japanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Ace/Aro rep in a tv show and so so beautifully done! Really felt this one
-
8. Innocent
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 4 episodes
Extremely beautiful and unique short series
-
9. KinnPorsche
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
Easily the sexiest show here, it's got ass, tits, *feelings* and a bonkers story, what's there not to love
-
10. Taikan Yoho
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This was a show where two guys had found someone that really matched their freak - it was just somehting they had trouble communicating to each other. I think these two could only ever be happy with each other
-
11. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
This feels so queer in a realistic way, I adore this show - Heart and Li Ming are my favourite part of the show
-
12. The Novelist
Japanese Drama - 2018, 6 episodes
This rating is for the whole series, the second season Mood Indigo was objectively the best in my opinion, but I am SO glad the team behind were allowed enough time to tell the story they wanted to, which in BLs feels rare.
Spanning 2 shows, a movie and 2 specials, it's a great story about accepting yourself and allowing yourself to love and be loved.
-
13. Life: Love on the Line (Director's Cut)
Japanese Movie - 2020
I love how we got to see the couple evolve and navigate their relationship through life over several decades, very unique in that way!
-
14. Pit Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
Honestly it's crazy how good this is despite how bonkers the whole setup was - I think it was the chemistry between all the relationships and characters that carried this show
-
15. What Did You Eat Yesterday?
Japanese Movie - 2021
I liked this even more than the series, these two are really fools in love. Still made me hungry watching, I want to try some of the recipes! (the caramel apples??)
-
16. Beyond Evil
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
So... not officially gay but like, it's gay
-
17. Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna
Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
This list needed more lesbians and I love these women so dearly! And the season 2 is more of the same great thing, both very comforting and sweet.
-
18. HIStory3: Trapped
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
-
19. Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
-
20. The On1y One
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
This story was slow as molasses, which bothered me at th ebeginning, but once the characters begun to open up to each other, and to us as viewers, I was totally hooked and enjoyed the pacing. Rating would have been higher if not for the open, slightly unsatisfactory ending, but if we get a second season or any conclusion, it will go up.
-
21. To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
-
22. Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!: The Movie
Japanese Movie - 2022
I love it when the story continues after "and they got together". That's the best part for me, so I loved this movie for that.
-
23. Love for Love's Sake
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
-
24. Laws of Attraction

-
32. Kinou Nani Tabeta?
Japanese Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
We love to see middle aged men be stupid and in love amidst all their other struggles! (Plus you get recipes and great cooking montages)
-
33. Cherry Magic
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
-
34. Perfect Propose

Both characters were great and the story explored a lot of complex emotions - sadly it was a bit of surface level since the series was quite short.
-

Excellent friends-to-lovers story and one of the leads is exceptionally pretty!

-
44. The Eclipse
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
-
45. Word of Honor
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
The story was nonsense to me but these dudes linger in your mind. I'll go read some fanfic now.
-
46. Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
It was a very typical Japanese BL - enjoyable but felt quite familiar.
-
47. Love Tractor
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
I love how the main character had no idea he was in romantic comedy and then there is this baby himbo who has actual hearts in his eyes.

Japanese Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
-
49. Sugar Dog Life

-
50. Ai no Kotodama

This is the first solely queer story I watched when I was a teen (the first I remember at least!) and so it is very special to me. Story is thin but sweet and feels quite real!
-
51. The Handmaiden
Korean Movie - 2016
-
52. Long Time No See
Korean Drama - 2017, 5 episodes
Very surface level show that didn't have the budget for it's ambitious story - but a cute couple and quick watch
-
53. Utsukushii Kare
Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
This was good but to recommend it to others, I'd need to give some caveats and warnings since it's got some HEAVY themes and definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea - still enjoyed it though!
-
54. Moon Child
Japanese Movie - 2003
-
55. Ghost Host, Ghost House
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
