BL/Bromance/LGBTQ+ favorites
I chose the shows to put on the list based on how much I liked them and which ones really hooked me in. ISince I don't enjoy any LGBTQ+ material that is depressing, the bulk, if not all, have happy endings. I didn't really stick to any particular criteria or requirements when choosing these shows. I avoid shows/films that carry messages like gay couples cannot have loving and fulfilling relationships or that LGBTQ+ people are bound to be miserable and lead sad lives. I don't think those are masterpieces that reflect the depressing reality of the LGBT community living in a discriminatory society. However, there are a few exceptions. I have aonther list for GL.

1. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
My all-time favorite show I can't get enough of it. I consumed every type of media that is adapted from the book. The manhwa, the Donghua, and of course this show Everything about this show is excellent, and it's really well made. I don't even remember how many times I watched this or how many times I read the book. The only show that will get a 10/10 from me

14. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
It is a "basic" high school story, but what makes it special is the execution of the script (which is a huge improvement from the ugly book) and the acting of these two talented rookies. I usually skip when someone brings out a guitar in shows, but this time it was extremely enjoyable. I also quite enjoyed the friendships in this show, particularly those among the band members.

27. Life: Senjou no Bokura
Japanese Drama - 2020, 4 episodes
Might be my favorite japanese show. We go through a big chunck of life for these two characters and we see the consequences of not being true to yourself and not following your heart. My baby is babying so much and I love how the "silly baby" is the one who goes after his heart and is honest with himself.
