some short gl dramas I've watched

[shipperslist]

I've started slowly watching through some baihe rec lists and so far, have made two journal posts: short Chinese GL dramas, part 1 and short Chinese GL dramas, part 2. Out of these eight dramas I've so far seen, my favorites have been The Story of the Demon Cult Leader and the Decent Miss, The Vampires, and (unsurprisingly) Nü Er Hong. 

(Wasn't sure how to tag this post, so I only tagged recs and reviews.)

Thank you! I've added tags for the specific mini-dramas mentioned.

Nü Er Hong is one of my personal favourites as well! I just wished they'd had a bit more time with the ending (the whole team came down with Covid when they were filming, so they really struggled).

I like aspects of The Vampires but am always slightly surprised how popular it is, given that it's one of their less-developed, less-finished productions (they only had a limited amount of time on the ship, so had to really prioritise the most important scenes). I guess fandom enjoys having lots of scope for the imagination!

Oof that must've been rough!

I think that part of the reason The Vampires is so popular is that we get glimpses of their backstories but that's all. And, of course, the way it's full of unreliable narrators and the way the story gets revealed. And the ending! Is it a time loop? Was it a premonition? Who knows!
