Are there any "gay" dramas?
Coffee Prince
I know Coffee Prince is not openly gay drama but it is somewhat "gay-themed".... Han Kyul (Gong You)fell in love with the main character who he thought was a guy when, in fact, was a girl. Bottom line is that he fell in love with what he thought was a guy. Also, he was able to capture the emotions of a straight guy falling for another guy very well.
However, like I said, it's not really intended to be a gay drama but for those straight guys who have experienced similar situations (that is, falling for the same sex and dust it off afterwards) might be able to relate to Gong Yoo's character.

No one have mentioned "Asunaro Hakusho"
One of the characters in it is homosexual.
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Asunaro_hakusho
1993, a very good year when it comes to Japanese dramas, Asunaro Hakusho, Kono yo no Hate, Koukou Kyoushi 1993
and some that I want to watch "Hitotsu yane no Shita", "Dousoukai".

wow i'm pretty late to this discussion. i just saw it on the 'last 10 active post' and decided to check it out. i'm pretty sure my list has already been listed but these are all those that i have watched:
YASHA - japanese (rin and sei are both bi or gay as both of them liked their best friends)
Placebo Cure - Chinese (lesbian couple)
Last Friends - Japanese. currently loving this drama and you can find me 99% of the time in their discussion. (ruka likes michiru and that's pretty much it. categorize this however you like)
Net Deception - Chinese (one of the character's mom is a lesbian who is together with her friend but it was never explicitly told they were lesbians just very much hinted)
on a side note: don't ever watch "take my word for it" for it's gay theme since that is the worse representation ever. i like the main characters and all but it was just soooo wrong how they change the brother's sexuality just like that. ahhh ok i'm over it.
there are others like Hana Kimi where the guy falls for another guy but later finds out the guy is actually a girl. though for hana kimi the japanese version i don't really think nakatsu is gay he just surpassed gender and loves the person for whoever he/she is. that's why i love nakatsu much more than the main guy.

Exactly my thoughts! If people are bothered by gay dramas, please don't go into this discussion to make people feel bad!

I haven't seen many gay dramas but you should definitely check out Last Friends. It's sooo good and I'm completely obsessed with it.

I haven't seen this, but I am dying to. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I love Kaneko Sayaka, I think she's magic.
It's funny, I can name like 329048902384023 gay-themed asian films, but when it comes to dramas there just aren't as many.

Topic was started a couple of years ago, so dunno if you're still reading this but, yeah there are quite a few gay dramas out now. A quick google search revealed a lot of chinese gay dramas, cuz that's what I searched for. I listed the first 8 from this site:
1. Candy Rain (2008)
2. Drifting Flowers (2007)
3. Miao Miao (2007) [Planning]
4. Crazy in Love (2007)
5. Eternal Summer (2006)
6. Metrosexual (2006) [non-Chinese]
7. Daughter of a Botanist (2006)
8. Red Doors (2005) [non-Chinese] it says English+Mandarin
I didn't bother searching for korean gay dramas cuz there probably are none. I don't know about Japanese dramas but I think a few already mentioned some up there, that and I couldn't really find any. So there, have fun!
EDIT: Sorry, I only now just checked out a couple of 'em, and I think these are movies and not dramas

Gakko ja Oshierarenai! has a gay character, I think. At the end of the first episode, the girl alluded to the fact that her dance partner was already interested in someone else, and that that person wasn't a girl, but a guy.

Maybe it was because I was kind of hoping for it...

Ah, I've watched Princess Princess D. Not all of the episodes yet though, because they aren't subbed T_T
I've also watched King and the Clown and I actually rather liked ^_^ Of course I've watched several other BL movies, but can't really remember names >_< At least I've seen Formula 17 which was mentioned earlier and Go Go G-Boys! which was great ^^ And I've seen Boys Love as well... And what else... can't remember >.<At><

Hey! Just stumbled across this thread while searching for Dousoukai. Do you mean this is the dorama with Sakamoto Masayuki? I tried to get it through gaytorrentnews.org but since you posted some 2 years ago the pages has def changed and I can't find it there. n.nWingwong wrote:Dousoukai (Alumi Reunion is the Asian Queer as Folk) Its a Japanese dorama. U guys who are gay should check out gaytorrentnews.org Free sign up all the gay themed romance movies, etc there. And in the Phillippines its not really accepted as u say it is bc its actually stereotyped. Gay people there are all thought to be feminine and or transexual or drag queens. They are jokes and prostitutes to alot of the people there. Its not like my country is known for being accepting. It is one of the most conservative places in the world. Especially, if there are any Filipinos reading this, they d agree cause even now its not like u see guys holding hands and kissing in the streets everywhere.
Help please! ^^;

Sorry for posting in this seemingly dead thread, but does anyone know, where to find a brand new Korean movie, called 'Hello My Love'? It's very fresh and most likely hasn't even been released on DVD, but still... Here's the link to the trailer -
Thanks in advance for any info. And sorry for any possible inconvenience.

I'm also interested In any BL dramas they seem to be hard to find. Any movies I have seen are always depressing and leave me crying.. is there ever one with a happy ending? I haven't seen one. I saw the King and the clown and I cried like a baby xP. Bangkok love story was good but yet again depressing at the end.
What I'm wondering is there one out there that isn't going to have me sobbing like a little girl and in need of a Kleenex box?

Dramas are harder because being broadcast on TV they need smething the general population will agree on, and gay themes is probably not up on the agenda.Noodlepunk wrote:I'm also interested In any BL dramas they seem to be hard to find.

My fave BL movies that are not all gloom and death include a taiwan one called Forumla 17, and Ai no Kotodama. Especially Kotodama, you can see how a relationship can work and will continue to work in the far future, the leads are hot, and the chemistry is amazing.

Because there really aren't any dramas with a heavy homosexual theme. We all do see random side-characters who are gay, in like, almost every new drama (even in Sunao ni Narenakute there is a gay character) but we rarely get to see any love between two guys, even less any holding/touching/kissing scenes.Anyamaranth wrote:There are 2 gays in love with Chiaki in Nodame Cantabile.
And Nakao in Hana Kimi.
But I don't know any real gay drama. =(
And we probably never will. Especially Taiwan and HK are strict with it, so don't pin your hopes on it. Japan...well, will unlikely make a drama with a homosexual theme anytime soon...probably never which I find, to be perfectly honest, very bizarre. There are SO many homosexual people in Japan. I doubt the ratings would be that bad if they happened to produce one.
I'm pinning my hopes on Korea. They seem to be more open about it. Hopefully some heart in Korea will decide to produce a homosexual themed drama.
Movies, however, is a different thing. There are, like, billion of asian gay movies.
Here is the complete list for all gay movies (lesbian/homosexual). Just type in search bar Korea, Taiwan, Japan, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gay-related_movies
EDIT// I'm downloading Nie Zi (aka Crystal Boys) right now. My friend was talking about it for a long time and now I finally get to watch it. Supposedly it's real good so try it.

A little off-topic.
You could also compare it with mangas made into jdramas.
Some mangas (Jotei an example) being much more graphic than the drama version.
I also think it's got to do with the older generation. I mean, let's be honest, how many of your parents wouldn't mind if you became gay? Exactly. The viewers would probably complain and we all know how Asia loves to complain. Especially in China where there are only two broadcast channels which are open to public. Basically to everyone who owns a TV. No parent would want to their child to watch any gay drama. Anime on the other hand is apparently less influential when compared to a drama. At the end of the day it's still just a fantasy 'cartoon' you watched. I'm sure there is another reason for why there are animes with a gay theme (yaoi/bi-shonen) but no dramas. And how many actors would be willed to play a gay character? That's also an issue. Not everybody would be willed. You have to consider this all.Keiko1981 wrote:As you said Miliyah movies are much more tolerant when it comes to this subject.MiIiyah wrote:Movies, however, is a different thing.

It's sad, I know. I've been on the hunt myself...and not just recently.
With J-dramas, there's hardly any holding/touching/kissing scenes with heterosexual couples, for that matter.MiIiyah wrote: Because there really aren't any dramas with a heavy homosexual theme.

I have to say to this that never ever... Korea is the most difficult country in Asia to live as gay(they can`t... if you are gay in Korea you move to Japan or Australia or...)Really zero tolerance... So if we don`t count fanservice there is no way they make serious gay drama.... Japan is really going to be first country to make something like this, I believe... Already drama like Last Friends has good serious characters, as gay and lesbian..MiIiyah wrote:Because there really aren't any dramas with a heavy homosexual theme.

I would highly recommend Korean drama 'Life Is Beautiful', which is still airing. There will be 50 episodes in total. One of the main characters is gay and thus one of the main story lines unfolds his life, coming out to his 'girlfriend', his relationship with his boyfriend and his family which is yet to know everything about their beloved son.
The drama is mostly fun (like most of Korean dramas), but I like how decently it depicts a gay characters. I'm hooked with the plot (I've watched 11 episodes so far) and thrilled to know what's going to be next.
Hope, this was helpful.

I really have nothing better to do, but here's the list.
Not Gay dramas, but with gay characters, cause we decided that there is no typical gay drama that we are aware of.
Korean:
Life is Beautiful
Personal Taste
Japanese:
Last Friends
Gakkou ja Oshierarenai
Antique
Yasha
Dousoukai
Asunaro Hakusho
I could miss something, my eyes don't work s they should lately.

I would add 'Hyena' to the list of Korean dramas for that matter. One of the main characters of this drama is gay and the storyline pretty much evolves around his problems and such.
And I would also consider adding Korean drama called 'Coffee Prince'. Even though there are actually NO gay characters in it, but gay theme is obviously the key one, at least in the beginning.

Well, I agree. 'Coffee Prince' is not a gay drama. So, the suggestion is off.Ethlenn wrote:I hesitated over adding "Coffee Prince". I know the main issue, but I was considering any gay character in it.
Hyena, hmm...
As for 'Hyena', you should check it out. I really liked the drama. It was quite decent and funny and sad to watch.

Ethlenn,
Not sure if you were too young to see the film 'ORLANDO'. it was 1993 I think. anyway it is being revived. Big art show at MOMA in NYC and the actress who played Orlando was attending officially. Sony is putting out the film again.
Quentin Crisp played Q.Elizabeth Ist and was absolutely marvellous.. Long film but truly wonderful.

@Peggy --- omg... I loved this film! Hopefully they'll re-release the OST as well. I'm still dying to have the ending song sung by the counter-tenor. For a long time all I had was a recording to audio tape I grabbed off a broadcast on cable.
This isn't Asian-related, I know, but did you also see "An Englishman in New York" with John Hurt as Quentin Crisp? (I have as much of a thing for UK drama & film as I do for Japanese.) Hurt is always so amazing with such unusual material to work with.

Renai Shindan is a gay jdrama. It's 4 separate episodes about a gay or lesbian relationsship (wouldn't say it's good though)
Dousoukai (old, early 90ies) about a woman married to a gay man who then get's pregnant from a one night stand with the guy who was her husband's first (one sided) love.
There's loads of jdrama with gay charakters, i remember these atm:
Katagoshi no Koibito (Kaname Jun, Ikeuchi Hiroyuki)
Dare Yori mo Mama wo Aisu, Sunao ni Narenakute (Tamayama Tetsuji)
Uruwashiki Oni
Ikemen Sobaya Tantei

Just a confirmation to avoid frustration while watching.
Does the gay boy in Gakkou ja oshierarenai becomes straight by the plot?
Because I don't expect from a jdrama to give to a gay character a proper relationship and Gakkou ja oshierarenai doesn't seem like a drama that would allow a sad ending for a leading character.

I wouldn't count Tumbling for one of those. I mean, in ONE EPISODE it really emphasizes his sexuality and the effects that knowledge has on his teammate, but in a (not much) later episode, you see them in the hot springs next to each other, nude. Ironically, everyone was making such a big deal of, "How is he going to be able to handle it knowing that he likes him and sees him naked" or something like that, but after that episode--it's like nothing ever happened. o__o
Truth be told:
I wish my favorite actor were a gay character in a drama. He wouldn't even have to be the main, but I always had a respect for actors who could pull off roles not quite in their comfort zones--which I assume it might be awkward to play as a character opposite your sexuality. (One of the reasons I love Neil Patrick Harris so much!! XP)
It's nice being able to see these topics being cover in mainstream, and again, if he were to be that character, my respect and admiration for him would SOAR. He's already been in a movie where he had to have a long kiss with his (movie) step-sister, so what's so taboo about the gay community? I guess I just have a hard time understanding it since I live in SoCal.

No I did not see that particular show but I think John Hurt would play the role of Quentin very well.
He does give a very blase appearance verging on tired boredom. I think he may be tired physically at times. Loads of wrinkles don't help.
Quentin Crisp used to appear quite a lot on TV when he was living in New York. He did not have a peaceful life at times and people were very cruel to him both with words and physical violence.

Hey guys,
I am trying to find the name of a film or a drama that I can't seem to remember the name of it.
But the discription is: About a blind guy who meets his childhood friend who he hasn't seen in a long time, the friend is a guy I saw the clips on youtube at one point and I am know trying to find it and remember the name.
So if anyone knows what this film or drama is called please let me know thank-you
