Are there any "gay" dramas?

I was wondering if anyone knew of any japanese, chinese, or hk series that have or revolve around a gay character/s? I have never encountered an asian drama where the main character or one of the main characters was gay. Is there such a drama?

hey crazylazy)chief....what drama is ur avatar from? Big Smile

back to topic, in kimi wa petto there were 3 "gay" people...the landlord, momo's old trainer, and the person at momo's dance studio. but the man who always follows momo is probably just feminine b/c he liked momo's mom. LOL

Antique is based on a yaoi manga.. about some guys working @ a bakery. Although, I haven't read the manga or watched the jdrama yet... Takizawa Hideaki from Strawberry on the Shortcake is in it.

Are there any non-televised ones around? There's lots of gay anime but very little of it made it to the television. Most of it was released straight to VHS or DVD or on specialty channels that were separate from standard cable packages.

i don't think there is a drama that made it to television and revolves around gay people. i watched a series,asunaro hakusho that has a gay person and he likes the main character.it's an interesting twist.

and i think crazylazy_chief avatar's is from a korean series called a love to kill?

Err...I watched HK Gay movie at once but I didn't remember the name of it.
And the point is it sells in a Large DVD Shop in my country! Oh...my friend bought it so I borrowed her.
Ne...it's really romantic. I like it so much. Oh...and love scene is also cute.

Actually I don't know before that HK also have these style but I think ther're a lot of these gay movie in Japan. lol.

I have seen Kimi wa Petto, so I knew about those characters already (although none of them are really gay). I've seen an episode of Antique Bakery, and there wasn't really anything yaoi-ish about it, although I did see some screen caps where Tackey and the main chef looked like they were going to kiss. Seems like there really isn't an asian drama where there is a strong lead/supporting character or that centers on the subject, huh? I wonder why, considering most asian areas, excluding Korea, are really accepting of homosexuality and whatnot.

Umm... there's Yasha too. It's a sci-fi drama but also shounen-ai. It's about two twin brothers, Sei and Rin. Rin loves Sei but Sei loves Moichi (a blind guy)... it's an interesting story, full of suspance and romance. People who dislike shounen-ai/yaoi could enjoy it too because there are a lot of other topics
The actor for Sei and Rin is Hideaki Ito (<3) and for Moichi is Shuji Kashiwabara (Takashi's brother ^O^)

That's right. I forgot about the Waterboys series and movie littlemissfab ^^ Yasha sounds pretty interesting. A sci-fi drama, huh?

Kirari, what about Gokusen 2 do you think is gay? That I know of, there is only one character who is questionably gay, but he is just one of the general students in the class. The one who is interested in fashion and wants to work in a boutique. At least I got that impression from him, hence why I say questionable ^^ And he's not really ever spot-lighted, so I wouldn't really count him too Smile
