GL Dramas and Movies That Are Actually Gay
I keep seeing GL lists with movies or shows that aren't even gay so here's my list. I've watched and recommend all of these except for the ones I specifically say aren't worth watching. I've commented on the ones I think are still worth watching even if they don't have a ton of GL.
Feel free to suggest any GLs. I'll be sure to watch them and put them on the list if I think they fit. If you're having trouble finding any of these, message me and I'd be happy to help. (I haven't rated any of these because I don't like to do that) (Some of these are blank because I don't really have a comment to add)

201. Open
Japanese Movie - 2021
-
202. Ordinary Family
Korean Movie - 2014
TW: SA
The director, Lee Hyun Joo, was convicted of sexual assault.
Watch it if you want, but for me this really taints the movie for me. If you really want to watch it still, maybe watch it ill*gally so she doesn't get any possible royalties.

203. Our Love Story
Korean Movie - 2016

204. Our Relationship Ended Before It Began
Korean Drama - 2022, 4 episodes
-
205. Our Story
Filipino Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
[Iris x Lorraine]
This is the 3rd season, but you don't need to watch the other 2 seasons for Iris and Lorraine. They're more like a 3rd couple than a 2nd couple. They don't have a ton of screen time together but you can easily scroll to their parts.
-
206. Our Time
Korean Movie - 2022
-
207. Out of Breath
Korean Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
Very cute.
Made by the same people that made She Makes My Heart Flutter.
-
208. Painted Skin
Chinese Movie - 2023
-
209. Pair of Love
Taiwanese Movie - 2010
This is mostly about the BL couple (maybe 70/30). And they left out one of the girls in the GL couple for like half the movie.
-
210. Papa and Daddy
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Not worth it for the GL. But it's a sweet series and I would recommend watching it. There are 2 lesbian couples in this, each with varying amounts of screen time.
-
211. Pearl Next Door
Filipino Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
It's definitely worth watching and:
Iana Bernardez, who plays Karleen, is in another GL called Stand-In Love.
-
212. Penguins at North Pole
Taiwanese Movie - 2013
-
213. Perfect One-night Stand
Korean Movie - 2020
-
214. Petrichor
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
-
215. Phi Wak Kha Rak Nu Dai Mai
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
-
216. Pin Phak
Thai Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
FreenBecky's chemistry continues to be top tier. The story is interesting and the production design is amazing.
Other FreenBecky projects:

-
217. Pit-a-Pat

Chinese Movie - 2022
-
219. Pluto

-
220. Pluto

Probably one of my favorite GLs so far.
NamtanFilm have another series called Girl Rules airing in 2025.
-
221. Pond, Fish
Chinese Movie - 2019
-
222. Pragma
Korean Movie - 2014
-
223. Puberty Play
Japanese Movie - 2014
-
224. Pyramid Game
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Everyone would get along if they all just admitted they were in love with each other.
-
225. Quarantine Stories
Thai Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Only episode 10 is GL, and it's so cute!
-
226. Re:Mind
Japanese Drama - 2017, 12 episodes
Not worth it just for the GL. Interesting show, but they don’t really focus on it much.
-
227. Re:Wind
Japanese Special - 2017, 1 episode
Same as the original series. Also if you're going to watch this, you should watch it after the original series (on Netflix it shows up as the 13th ep) because it has spoilers.
-
228. Really Lily?
Korean Movie - 2019
-

Chinese Movie - 2020
-
230. Red Whisper
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
-
231. Remotely Killed
Japanese Special - 2020, 1 episode
Not worth it for the GL. It's not really focused on until the end. Same goes for the extended version.
-
232. Renai Shindan
Japanese Drama - 2007, 12 episodes
It's an anthology so only episodes 7-9 are GL.
-
233. Reverse 4 You
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
-
234. Romantic Witch's Starlight Sonata
Korean Drama - 2019, 2 episodes
-
235. Rookie
Filipino Movie - 2023
-
236. Roommate
Thai Drama - 2022, 32 episodes
Not really. The show treats them differently than the BL couples to the point where I missed when they actually became a couple.
-
237. Ruby and Ice Ice
Taiwanese Movie - 2018
-
238. S.O.S
Korean Movie - 2015

-
261. Stalker
Thai Drama - 2022, 14 episodes
[Kongkwan x Fon]
This is FreenBecky's first appearance together, but I'd say that's the only draw to watching it. It's not worth it just for the GL since they aren't shown that much.
They are also in quite a few other project together: GAP the Series, Uranus2324, The Loyal Pin, and Cranium (airing in 2026).
-
262. Stand-In Love

Taiwanese Movie - 2007
-
272. Tenohira no Puzzle
Japanese Movie - 2023

Thai Movie - 2020
I guess, it's only 4 min.
-
274. That Strangely Horrifying Windy Day
Korean Movie - 2018

Not worth it. It has the "classic" trope of character is a "lesbian" because she was assaulted by men and then when she heals from her trauma she becomes straight again.
-
275. The Adults Don't Know
Korean Movie - 2020
Not worth it. BYG out of NOWHERE. You can watch their scenes on youtube. Search "My school bully is also my secret lover."
-
276. The Beauty of the Law
Chinese Special - 2023, 1 episode
-

-
279. The Day
Korean Movie - 2020
-
280. The Debut - The Series

-
283. The Female Doctor and Rabbit Spirit
Chinese Movie - 2020
-
284. The Fifth Season

Hong Kong Movie - 2021
-
286. The Forest Ends at the Sea
Taiwanese Movie - 2023

-

Thai Movie - 2016
-

Taiwanese Movie - 2017
-
300. The Torture Club

This movie is a TRIP. It's basically porn. But I still somehow found their relationship pretty sweet.
