Good LGBTQ+ Representation In Dramas

I'm creating this list as a gay trans guy and adding dramas and tv shows that either have lgbtq+ characters that are written into them without it being as a joke or as a fanbase thing but as genuine characters who happen to be lgbtq+, because of the lack of these in the Asian drama world I have also included shows where one or more characters storylines is parallel to that of how certain experiences are.

Feel free to message me in some way if you disagree with anything here and if anything on here offends your reality let me know, its not my intention and I will take it off if your reasons are genuine.

    Korean Movie - 2021

    No LGBTQ+ characters but Bib's character is relatable to a trans experience.
    Past the fact that bib is a robot, she is not seen as a real girl, she wants to get skin so that she can look like a human but she cant afford it because of the expenses.
    I may have just read way to much into a small scene.

    Gay representation
    This drama is well known for its representation, there is no relationship but for it to be based in the late 90's I honestly think the fact that a gay character was introduced was a cool and unexpected thing and it wasn't done in an untasteful way.

    Gay Representation
    This is probably a real depiction of how coming out as gay is but with actual personalities and I personally loved it. there was taboo around it but in the same breath no one really cared and that's the best way I know how to describe this drama. Also the fact that his whole storyline didn't revolve around his sexuality deserves props in itself.

    doesnt dwell on the negatives but also doesn't downplay the difficulties
