Recently announced. Ryn shared before as well.

idk, im kinda turned off by how they market themselves. Either theyre out of touch with the chinese gl scene or theyre lacking some specificity about what exactly they are the first of.

True. I was weirded out by that too. The first Mainland Chinese GL I watched was The Girls on Rela, eight years ago. But idk how hard to access GL series are when in mainland China, so maybe they just don't know.

Still watchable via this page https://www.youtube.com/@khooninstudio/playlists

They've privated them just now. Idk if they're also going to private the playlists, then I guess you'd be out of luck.

SPOILERS for Pluto discussed.


I've just finished Pluto. Up to episode 10, I would have said it was the one of the top 5 Thai GL dramas I've seen, but I hated the direction it went after episode 10. Ob-omm's insistence that Ai-oon and May cannot be in a relationship was extremely cruel, and caused me to conclude that Ob-omm is a selfish piece of shit. Ai-oon and May's willingness to comply with her ridiculous demand was profoundly stupid. Doormat behaviour really triggers me.

I also don't understand why Ob-omm and Ai-oon's father changed from the worst father in the world to the best father in the world. Was this explained, because if it was, I missed it. Does anyone know?

Friendly Neighborhood Release Update!

Japanese psychological and mystery GL "Call Me By No Name" started airing on January 10th, with streaming on GagaOOlala.

Megumi Yotsugi, a student at Eichi University, meets Kotoha Furuhashi, a beautiful girl who was abandoned at the garbage dump. After visiting Kotoha's mysterious home, Megumi decides that she wants to be her friend, but she is flat-out rejected. Later, she learns that Kotoha is an alias. Thus, Kotoha replies with another suggestion: be my girlfriend until you guess my name. Then, during their temporary relationship, if she guesses her real name, they'll become friends—a strange bet.

 AthenaTheStorierX:
Salmon - the author of upcoming Queendom, Built In Love, The Dragon, The Tiger and The Swan - will be seeing 4 more of her novels become series: The Earth, The Water, The Air, The Fire (Source). Quite an in-demand author it seems, lol.



Idol Factory - the studio behind GAP, Dream, The Loyal Pin, Somewhere Somehow (see pilot trailer above), and Cranium (see pilot trailer above) - has announced they they will be working on the adaptation of the GL Four Elements Series from author Salmon (who we will be seeing several GL adaptation from in the future).

The project is still largely under wraps as cast has not been explicitly confirmed yet. However, they do say that they will be working with several of the top GL actresses in the country - which suggests that they will be working with actresses who are tied to different companies. Some interesting hypotheses have came forward - which involved parties tease as being mostly correct. 

This is gonna be such a fun one to track yall! The hype potential this series has.... *happy sigh*

I just stumbled across this fan made video. I found it quite entertaining, especially the bit with Nueng and Anueng starting at 0:46. 

There's also a part 1.
