4. The Secret of Us
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Greatest acting I've seen in a Thai GL. The story feels so real. It's angsty and cute, heartbreaking and passionate. Must watch. YouTube
-
5. 23.5
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
This high school GL became my comfort show. It shows you a beautiful and genuine young love between a "loser" and a pretty girl. Though the adaption is different from the novels, this is still such a heartwarming story. It's only not getting full score because they change the pretty girl's personality and split it between side characters. I wish we had seen more of her POV. There's room for a second season though.

13. Legend of Yunze Special
Chinese Special - 2021, 14 episodes
This is my favorite piece from The Legend of Yunzen. Even though the editing is cringy (basically pulling off memes every chance they get), it's cool to see the characters in the modern world. Warning: Gay panic. YouTube

Taiwanese Movie - 2023
Movie about a college student strike on fine arts because the chairman doesn't admit creative freedom and grades students based on his mood.

16. Love Senior
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
College lesbian drama (Again, dramatic as fuck). The couples are cute but don't come at a eas price, this show doesn't stray from unrequited love, drunken mistakes, cheating, and most importantly, love. The setting is a bit confusing because I'm not familiar with how Thai colleges work, but apparently being someone's senior is like a training camp to pass to the next year and you have to get your senior's signatures for some reason.
