BEST LGBTQ+s disguised as BLs
I've noticed quite a nice trend with some Dramas coming out and being promoted as BLs, but in reality they seem more appropriate to be called true LGBTQ+ dramas. Here are the ones that I find to be the best of the best so far. My reasoning for not thinking of these as BLs is because they don't truly fall in the sub-genre. They tackle a myriad of LGBTQ issues and don't fall int othe BL tropes we are used to. They are relatable and show a true range of character development, real feeligns of insecurities regarding coming out and acceptance, as well as the ramnifications of that.
Some may disgaree with me or with some of the dramas I listed, but this is just my personal obeservation.
