Asian dramas with gay characters (preferably not BL)

[(Anonymous)]

Are there any Asian drama series (I know there will probably not be much if anything from Korea or China because censorship) with gay characters? Especially of the "happens to be gay" variety, not BL series (I usually think those are pretty badly made and cringey).

I literally just saw a listing for one that was on Amazon Prime. No idea if it's good or not, but apparently it exists. Lemme look it up.

This is what I was thinking of, apparently:

Thank you!

By dramas do you mean exclusively TV shows? And by not BL, you mean nothing inspired from like a BL manga and marketed toward fujoshi audiences?

I watch more films than TV shows, so I'd also be interested in recs, but I know I've seen quite a few gay films. From Korea, too - I don't think there's censorship there of gay stuff there? Not sure what you mean by that. Anyway, a Japanese one I watched recently was, warning, based off a BL manga - but it's not fetishy, one of the characters explicitly identifies as gay, there's no rape, and the characters are working adults. It's called Doushitemo Furetakunai, I really enjoyed it. The actors are really good, too, which is also a rarity among BL-adaptations.

Yeah, movies are okay too, but I've seen a lot of them so I wasn't really searching in that area. With TV dramas, there are just so many, it's difficult to sift through it.
And yes, non-BL as in "not a BL manga adaption" - there are quite a few, especially from Japan, and maybe I just found the wrong ones but the ones I tried looked pretty cringey. I'd mostly love something that wasn't a romance/relationship centered show, but that might be a bit too much to ask...

Oh, but Korea is pretty iffy on censorship when it comes to gay content (especially m/m gay content). At least for TV shows. Koreans dramas with gay characters can be counted on one hand, I think. And with movies, it's pretty telling that the few gay characters that are there tend to die in more or less gruesome ways.

I think I have seen the one you mentioned around, I'll give it a try! Thanks!
