My GL recs for YOU! :D
View, Gallow, and whoever else I end up sending this to, I hope you like these! I leave the longer ones near the bottom! :D
-
1. A Search Through Nine Lifetimes
Chinese Special - 2021, 1 episode
Literally a couple of minutes long! This I believe was an ad for wipes, if it's the one with a cat?
-
2. Adorkable Shimei x Shijie
Chinese Movie - 2021
You see what I meant when I said some of the C GLs are very short with light flirting. There's never any direct kisses, but I will add one that has an almost kiss played off as a dream!
-
3. Beginning of Summer
Chinese Movie - 2021
Might have been my first short one, hence the high rating!
-
4. She Brought Colour into My World
Chinese Movie - 2024
Beautiful, and fun colouring. Also, a woman you'll see in this, and many of these, is Sheng Wei and I have a huge crush on her!
-
5. Your Ship Is Real
Chinese Special - 2022, 1 episode
This was fun! Also, they watch The Handmaiden together, which is iconic tbh!
-
6. The Fox Spirit and the Little Priest
Chinese Movie - 2021
Sheng Wei again! I adore her! :D
-
7. Help, I Accidentally Stole My Shixiong's Crush!
Chinese Movie - 2021
Cute, with a fun twist at the end!
-
8. The Handmaiden
Korean Movie - 2016
My first film rated 10, and until a couple days ago was the only film I'd rated 10! This is dark at points! :D
-
9. ≥75℃
Korean Special - 2019, 5 episodes
This is a short ad for a tea place, but it's soft with little plot, some silly past "meeting" and lots of beautiful weirdly coloured teas! Well worth the 33 minutes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8UKQpPcma0
-
10. Lily Fever
Korean Drama - 2015, 9 episodes
Absolute fever dream lol, but fun! The opening sequence is awesome!
-
11. Really Lily?
Korean Movie - 2019
Read the comments and trust me, it's 5 minutes well spent!
-
12. She Makes My Heart Flutter
Korean Drama - 2022, 5 episodes
The one I said was an hour! Here's the link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sv4uX1wWRs
-
13. Xia Ye Zhi Dao Feng De Tian
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
AKA The Lost World. It's the one I mention where they almost kiss but play it off as a dream. Also, Wang Lao Ji is another huge crush of mine!
-
14. Ayaka-chan wa Hiroko-senpai ni Koishiteru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
I adored this one! :D
-
15. Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna
Japanese Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
TsukuTabe is one I'm terrified to recommend. But because you gave me your favourites, I'll give this to you. It was a very special one for me because of Nomoto's journey and the messages through the show. Such a warm blanket of a show. I adore the growth.
You know Old Fashion Cupcake? This is similar but sapphic, longer and less angsty (at least in S1)! OFC was them mostly going out to places to eat, but mostly they cook at home even cooking together here!
-
16. Show Me Love
Thai Drama - 2023, 9 episodes
The comments do not like this from when I last checked. But I liked them well enough, just remember the plot is a mess, with some time skipping.
-
17. Couple of Mirrors
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
The only full length Chinese GL I've seen. I don't believe there are others of this length, like censored BLs do. There are so many good sapphic Chinese novels out there tho (baihe, the GL equivalent of danmei)
-
18. GAP
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Look, objectively it's not the best I've watched, but I think at the start of your GL journey it might be interesting to see why these two were so big! The production quality was certainly there as far as I remember, and there's no lack of spice and angst and drama!
