Gay shit I watched - everything under 100 minutes
I wanted to declutter the other list, so all of the really short stuff goes here. If multiple seasons add up to more than 100 minutes, it stays in the main list, which is here: https://mydramalist.com/list/4KoOvgE4
>9 means it's brilliant
>8 I'd def recommend.
7 means it's fun enough, might recommend, but there are no masterpieces here
6 means it's watchable but nothing special, standard fare.
5 means it's got some amount of redeeming qualities, but also issues.
<4 means I kinda hated it
mlm = gay or bi guys in here
wlw = lesbian or bi women in here
T = trans people in here. I don't count standard comedic relief trans women in Thai shows. They have to actually be a character.
A = ace and/or aro people in here
GNC = gendernonconforming people in here

4. Legend of Yunze
Chinese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
wlw. ~36 minutes
Not your typical GL. Two magic ladies saving town. The plot is lightning speed, and it does not ever slow down. You might think you're watching a summary or a 'previously on', but no this is in fact how the show is structured. Blink and you miss a whole plot point.
The GL is implied only, because this is from China and gay media is illegal there. They're doing what they can.
One of the ladies is frustratingly childish, but the other is hot so.
