Have you noticed that GLs are pretty rare and not as mainstream compared to BLs?
Comparing it to the popularity and sheer number of BLs that have been coming out for years now, I am really curious why GLs haven’t gotten the same traction.
The genre just now seems to be making more shows (namely from Thailand), but counts are still low. I don’t even think there is a GL category on Viki, is there…?
Just curious if anyone has any thoughts or insight into the disparity between GLs and BLs! Positivity only, please.
GL recs are also welcome here!
Hoping for more diverse shows to come in 2025 and forward~
I know, right? Luckily, there seems to be more GLs coming out every year now.
Viki has a GL tag! But there aren’t many shows in it… Hopefully it will change, now that Viki decided to add 23.5! And I heard Friendly Rivalry is coming to Viki too. There’s also the Korean movie Motelier in the GL tag. But it’s absolutely horrendous (and not a GL at all?) And Couple of Mirrors is a censored Chinese drama. It’s on Viki too but it doesn’t have the GL tag.
If you want more GL recs, here is my list on MDL: GL Recs (with Links!) (314 shows) - MyDramaList There aren’t that many GLs especially if you compare it with the BL and het romances but I remember when I first started the list I didn’t think I would ever cross 100 titles and now I’m at 314 and counting, hehe! <3
