tigerandbambi 1,919 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Korean BL dramas Where Your Eyes Linger (2020) and You Make Me Dance (2021) are nominated for the 2021 SEOUL INTERNATIONAL DRAMA AWARDS - in the Short Form Category. South Korea has produced LGBT movies before but has just recently boarded the increasing worldwide popularity of asian BL media. WYEL is considered one of their first forays into the genre by fans. They seem to take it serious, they nominated 2 such dramas for awards. Baby steps! From Wiki: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) representation in South Korean films and shows is a relatively small portion of the larger South Korean cinema industry. This particular topic has consistently generated discussions both in academia and in the public LGBT movements. The queer movement began surfacing in the 1990s and films were an integral part of the initial movement.[1] South Korea is historically not a LGBT affirming country, which bleeds into the culture, justice system and general public sense.[2] However, recent study conducted in Chonnam National University states that the attitudes toward homosexuality are becoming increasingly positive.[3] You can watch the dramas here on Viki, here is a trailer: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
