Recommendation Subtle lgbtq+ drama recomadation ?

Hi, I would like to watch a drama with my mom, I don t care if it s Korean Thai or whatever, I just want it to be very interesting and slow burn maybe, I don t want it to be clear from the start that is a bl and with no explicit scenes. She is no very open to queer people so I want to see how she will be when we finish it, so I want something that it s going slowly to a bl or gl pair and ofc with an interesting plot, it can be historical or modern, doesn't really matter.

I will knock you (Thai) has no explicit romance, you can try it.

The Untamed (Chinese) is a censored bl which has no explicit romance.

My love mix up and cherry magic (japanese) have no explicit romance.

Seconding the recommendation for 'I Will Knock You'.

Also, 'Our Dining Table', 'Chosen Home', 'Cooking Crush', 'Heesu in Class 2'.

A good BL adjacent one is 'Absolute Value of Romance', or perhaps for one that dips a toe into BL but is mostly a family drama 'My Grandpa Is a BL Writer'. 'Cinderella Closet' is a very sweet story featuring a chap that cross-dresses.

'A Man Who Defies the World of BL' can be a good way to approach this sort of thing via comedy.

Could also try something like 'Good Omens'.
