    Heart-felt comedy that makes you laugh, cry, and love with the characters. There is never a dull moment throughout the entire show. I really recommend this to anyone that hasn't seen it. You won't regret watching!

    Oooft this was fantastic. It gave me that similar feeling that anime gives which is so hard to execute in live action shows. Some badass characters and a f***ed up story. I could not stop watching

    Heart-wrenching story of forbidden love during the Gwangju uprising in the 1980s. Amazing acting from both leads and I would give anything to watch this for the first time again.

    Fantastic story with an amazing message. This had me gripped from start to finish. A bit gruesome at parts but also emotionally evocative.

    This was so fun! I am loving the time-travel concept that a lot of shows in 2023 are going for. This show was also heartbreaking at times and I cried like baby near the end. But mostly it was some good laughs and a lot of giggles

  • Extraordinary Attorney Woo

    10. Extraordinary Attorney Woo

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    Still on-going as I add this but I have already fallen in love with the story and characters. Such an amazing plot and does not have a single boring moment yet (Episode 8)

  • Nevertheless,

    11. Nevertheless,

    Korean Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

    Personally, I loved the cinematography and the style of this show. It's a toxic relationship but it represents the passion in both love and art in the most addictive way. I couldn't look away

  • Navillera

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    9.5

    I put this one off at first because the synopsis didn't excite me but once I watched it, I did not regret it at all. It was an amazing story and definitely made me question my life and whether I will look back at an old age and regret any of my decisions.

  • Twenty-Five Twenty-One

    13. Twenty-Five Twenty-One

    Really captivating the entire time. The pacing and the script was done in a way where you question everything as you watch. What is the truth?

  • His  - What Is Love

    17. His - What Is Love

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    9.0

    The acting in this carried the story a lot of the time. I appreciate the representation of LGBTQ+ struggles and how many people continue to suffer in countries where it is not as widely accepted.

  • Saebit Boys' High School Council

    18. Saebit Boys' High School Council

    This BL has been one of the only BLs that put in the same amount of effort in the story, production, OST, and acting as a straight drama. It has a beautiful storyline and pulls at your heartstring the whole way through.

  • Utsukushii Kare

    19. Utsukushii Kare

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    I have watched this probably 2-3 times now. I LOVE the chemistry and the story even though it's a bit toxic. The aesthetics are also amazing. Would recommend the entire series including the movie

  • Tune in for Love

    20. Tune in for Love

    Korean Movie - 2019

    I appreciate that this does not follow the usual tropes of Korean love stories and I love the indie feel of the cinematography. 

  • Your Name Engraved Herein

    21. Your Name Engraved Herein

    Taiwanese Movie - 2020

    Another great LGBT+ movie about love in a dangerous time. I think this movie went about it really well but fair warning; be prepared to shed some tears.

    I have to add this one in even though the budget didn't seem very high, this show was one of the most satisfying revenge plots I've ever watched.
