Ep 11 and 12 are maly where his story tak place as we learn not only about his sexualy but also about Hye Joo havg unrequed feelgs for him spe knowg he's Gay.

That beg said, the drama self was fairly good and I would say if you like healg and female-centric dramas, then you will probably enjoy this be found on ee webs or Rakuten Viki (wh a VPN) #18Note: Fd specific episo where backstory is toldFeatur a Gay SML, Seon Ho, wh unrequed feelgs for his iend, Ju Hyeok. This tells , the dience, that the wrers really wanted to clu this joke about his disgt/horror at pretendg to be summary, we got a Gay SML here. I wouldn't remend this and I won't be watchg be found on ee webs #24Featur a Gay ML, what I've read, viewers saw this as que disappotg LGBT+ rep om a morn K-Drama.

GAY DRAMAS/MOVI

Joseph embodied seemgly every stereotype associated wh Gay men: Sensive, overdramatic, etc., etc.,, this is aga another ocsn which you will need to take what I'm sayg wh a few gras of salt as I have not seen the drama myself. I wouldn't remend watchg this for the rep be found on Rakuten Viki #25Gay, but also not actually the creators had followed through on their Bromance-that-go-beyond-Bromance and ma Kang Yo Han and Kim Ga On a uple this drama would have borred on fuckg amazg.

Can be found on Netflix #26Don't actually feature a nfirmed ma or supportg LGBT+ character, but Ep 2 there is tense speculatn by several characters as to whether Jo Eun is a Lbian (based almost entirely on her appearance), which clud Ye Eun and Eun Jae makg Homophobic ments. At that time, I will update this be found on Netflix #27Don't feature an LGBT+ uple or even a proment ma/si LGBT+ character but do ment on the effects of Love Alarm on LGBT+ people as well as Homophobia wh an teractn between one of the MLs and a guy who has feelgs for him, as well as another separate teractn where a guy is gettg bullied by his classmate bee he found out through Love Alarm that he lik be found on Netflix #28Don't actually feature a proment ma or si LGBT+ character/romance but Ep 13 ML Park Moo J, after seeg a popular director announce her Lbian relatnship, realiz that South Korea has not passed the Discrimatn Act Bill and cis to try to ph through.

At that time, I will update this acrdgly, along wh my thoughts on the be found on Rakuten Viki #30The ma leads aren't volved but they do spire a Gay character to fd himself a boyiend and be more proud/open about himself. The humor don't e om makg fun of Gay people but lghg at how obliv the male leads are as to how people are misunrstandg them, as well as jt how stupid and awkward they are.
