1. We Best Love: Forever the First
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Okay Jesus lord how can anyone be that attractive, yes I'm biased because of Yu. Now that we got that out of the way, let's dive in to the shallow end. This was so cute, like damn they were adorable, my heart nearly exploded. I loved, loved, loved how they okay SPOILER ALERT right here how they were so casual about being together, like just walking hand in hand and stuff like that without having any unnecessary coming out to their friends drama or anything like that.
This was just the perfectly cute with good enough plot and good paste, also good acting, a little bit of angst due to a broken heart but they do not dwell on it for too long. They keep it real and I love it. The flow has sorta natural feel to it which is nice. (Yes I love pretty much everything about this). They do leave some things open but there's season 2 so it's not surprising.
Plot in a nutshell: Gao Shi De wants to beat Zhou Shu Yi on everything, not because he wants to win, but because that's the way Shu Yi notices him. They meet again in college where Gao Shi De manages to blackmail Zhou Shu Yi to became his page-boy, Zhou Shu Yi definitely doesn't hate it as much as he pretends to. He's just and angry ball of fluff.

3. We Best Love: Spin-off
Taiwanese Special - 2021, 1 episode
I don't know how to feel about this. It makes me kinda scared for s2.
Anyhow it's just a ten minute "episode" that isn't actually anything but a teaser. It shows what kinda happened between s1 and s2 but not fully, there's still a 3 year gap, and we don't get to see whether they met in between or not. So i'll probably come back to this after s2. But for now how it made things seem is the typical misunderstanding. You see something shocking and just decide to walk away and cut all contact. Yeah. That makes me scared. Because s1 was my life, it was so good and well done. So I plead, do not do this, not to this series. Do not fall to those typical tropes, please.If it does I'll give this painfully low rating. Even my love for YU isn't gonna save this.
Plot in a nutshell: Misunderstanding
Possible triggers: none

9. Because of You
Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
Incredible sweet and fluffy. Laughed my ass off in some parts. Only downside is, once again, it's too short, so the character development is a bit too fast and, in some parts, lacking. If you don't have a lot of time and want to watch something that makes you feel good, this is it.
Plot in a nutshell: Three bothers of a wealthy family all harbor certain amount of dislike towards their father since they all have different mothers who their father hasn't really cared that much, not to mention he probably hasn't shown much love to the sons either. The brothers aren't really close to each other either, since they are bad at expressing their actions. Enter Lin Xun, poor man who's mother made him call the father of these brothers after she died, delivering a message. Now the Father wants to find Lin Xun and promises the company to the son who finds him. Jun Cheng already had met Lin Xun so he goes to kidnap him. This plot in a nutshell is getting longer than the actual series.
TLDR: Three rich brothers are all gay and learns to love each other as well -

Taiwanese Drama - 0000

11. HIStory: Stay Away From Me
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
Again, short (4 episodes). Main problem is how it ends, it really feels like there should've been more but there just isn't. It's an open(ish) ending, just a fair warning. It was pretty cute tho
Plot in a nutshell: Cheng Qing and Feng He are kinda forced to move in together after their parents get married. Feng He's best fried tries to get the two guys to be together because she just thinks they are cute
-
12. HIStory: Obsessed
Taiwanese Special - 2017, 4 episodes
Now the story is called Obsessed so I'm not that upset how it played out. Like in a way you kinda get a hint what you're gonna get. However it is horribly awfully toxic and more upsetting is that nobody cares nor does nobody learn any lessons. Like they all just cool cool with everything, not even thinking it might be bit bad.
It's short (4 ep) which in this case made the pacing kinda off.Plot in a nutshell: Shao Yi Chen is given a second chance in life after he is sent back 9 years. Now he's set on not repeating the same mistakes so he tries to avoid Jiang Jing Teng as to not catch feelings again. Jiang Jing Teng finds a piece of Shao Yi Chen's diary and becomes interested (more like obsessed).
Possible triggers: so much non-con, toxic behavior

16. HIStory3: Make Our Days Count
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
This doesn't really hurt
This is in a way problematic since there is a fault with how Hao Ting pursues Xi Gu, also the whole bullying is pretty gnarly. Like the bullying is so bad that it's a bit hard to buy that there could be love between them (can you really forgive all that shit), Still despite this I did like this series. Maybe it's the denial and forgetting the first part of the series and just focusing on the sweeter side of their relationship. There's the parents who first are not onboard but are not completely assholes either. The friends of Hao Ting are kinda amazing when it comes to their friends being gay. The secondary couple has a pretty big age difference which on its on is a bit problematic too.
Plot in a nutshell: It's kinda the typical enemies to lovers trope. But with a whole lot of more bullying going on. Xiang Hao Ting is outgoing and totally a bully, who doesn't really find the point of getting good grates anymore, Yu Xi Gu is the polar opposite. Their paths gross and things evolve. As a side dish we get Yu Xi Gu's manager (from his part time job) Liu Zhi Gang and Xiang Hao Ting's friend Sun Bo Xiang who meets at the gym.
Possible triggers: Pretty bad bullying, slight homophobia
