If you see wlw or mlm it means women who love women or men who love men so I don't have to worry about if I'm mislabeling a gay person as bisexual, etc. I've stopped updating content warnings on this list. Check out other lists for warnings.

wlw
cw: role play, but one of them doesn't really want to do it.
-
102. Am I the Only One with Butterflies?
Korean Special - 2018, 3 episodes
wlw
this is cute but for me it was a bit too bland. I like slice of life, but wanted more from the story. I guess that's what season 2 is for right? haha....
-
103. Am I the Only One with Butterflies? Season 2
Korean Special - 2019, 4 episodes
wlw
ok so season 2 was cuter.
-

107. Yuri ou Outra
Japanese Drama - 2019, 8 episodes
wlw. v cringey for me
cw: sexual assault, stalking, pedophilia (discussed, not on screen), manipulative relationship, internalized homophobia, professor/student relationship (mentioned), gay-because-of-trauma type story, infidelity, also another one of those stories where a character is most likely bisexual but they live in a world in which bisexuality is not a real thing.
-
108. O Namorado da Minha Namorada
Chinese Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This was surprisingly not super offensive to cross dressers (but still had its moments). However, the homophobia... ok so like there is a guy robot who falls in love with a guy. and the other guy is a straight guy which like okay yeah sometimes gay ppl fall for straight people right? but like, omg the straight guy is just so disgusted, ur typical "im gonna throw up at the idea of being gay" kind of stuff.... I mean the main lead is horrible for a lot of reasons though hahahah
-
109. O Namorado da Minha Namorada 2
Chinese Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
although there are still cringe parts, it is better in the second season. To be honest I skipped a bunch of scenes though.
*spoiler* after reading the definition of a queerplatonic relationship, I realized this is what the drama is about!!!
-
110. Sei no Gekiyaku

mlm

-
111. Gluttony
Thai Movie - 2021
wlw one of which is likely bisexual... and of course... she is also cheating. because bisexual people are incapable of not cheating apparently. this is one trope that certainly comes with a lot of baggage.....
cw: revenge porn (porn is not on-screen), cheating
-
112. Wrath
Thai Movie - 2021
sequal to Gluttony
cw: revenge porn (again, not on screen), non-consensual/forced/manipulated making out, implied rape

Thai Movie - 2021
mlm
cw: cheating (off screen)
-

-
125. Método
Korean Movie - 2017
mlm but I'm not actually sure if the characters are queer. It's not made clear, which I think is done on purpose.
homophobia, biphobia, infidelity, toxic relationship
-
126. O Garoto da Porta ao Lado
Korean Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
gay minor characters. very queerbaity but also somehow enjoyable??? some homophobia and some "its okay to be gay" narratives. i honestly don't know where this drama goes on my moral compass, but it's truely a guilty pleasure of mine. The main actors are just too charming and funny.
-
127. Príncipe do Café
Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes
There's a supporting character who admits to having had a crush on a woman when she was younger. The main story also deals with like the whole, "omg am I gay?" thing. Another drama where bisexuals don't exist. Although they have some "it's okay to be gay" dialogue and characters that don't mind, there's also some homophobia in it as well. honestly this work has some pretty queer vibes, even if we are supposed to assume the story is straight. maybe that's why i liked it as a kid.
-
128. Gosto Pessoal
Korean Drama - 2010, 16 episodes
The premise of the story is fake gay, but it does have one gay character. cant remember the cw
-
129. Society Obsessed with Love
Korean Drama - 2018, 5 episodes
this is not meant to be queer, but it has ace/aro vibes
-
130. Bungaku Shojo
Japanese Drama - 2018, 8 episodes
I would say its heavily implied that one of the characters is mlm. not sure where this goes on the queerbaiting line.
-
131. Karafurable
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
This isn't queer in the LGBT sense but more in a queer theory sense. If you don't know about queer theory, part of it is about the intentional blurring of a binary understanding of humanity. The way that the show tries to encourage diversity in self expression, allowing people to break gender binaries for expected outfits or gender roles, is queer in that sense. But since it's not LGBT this is going at the bottom of the list. I make the rules here >:D
also @tristram pointed out that apparerntly Yuuatn was gay? idk if I missed that or just forgot to make a note of it, but writing it here.
