GL Drama Lovers Club

Emrys:
Not sure why, GAP is probably not my cup of tea?

Try to continue, it gets better at episode 5. Ep 4 is also quite good, but at its end Kirk appears, which can be skipped. Ep 5, the scene with pen is breathtaking... really I stopped breathing for a while. :)

My little guide of next scenes, that can be skipped to better enjoy the story:: (these scenes are either angst, sad or annoying)
6.2 Kirk scenes; 6.4 second half; 7.1 first half; 8.3 last 3 minutes; whole 8.4; 9.1 first 7 minutes; 9.2 last 2 minutes; 9.3 first 10 minutes 16s; 10.1 from 11:50; 10.3 from 4:40; 10.4 up to 2:55; 11.1 up to 14:25; 11.4 whole; 12.1 whole; 12.2 whole.. unless you want to see one cute moment "cham cham hon mon mon". The rest is good.

Many scenes in other episodes are worth watching, because chemistry of Sam and Mon is outstanding.

Thai GL film Uranus 2324 was released into domestic cinemas today (July 4th; after an advance screening a few days ago). No word yet on an international streaming release, but the odds are looking good.

Oh wow, the posters and trailer look so good and intense. I added it to my watchlist right away. <3

Right now I'm enjoying The Secret of Us and thinking about watching GAP next. ^^

Wow, thanks for sharing your guide! This will be helpful once I do decide to pick up GAP again. Right now I'm trying not to drop some series I already started, so GAP is on-hold... but it will be watched eventually!

Tsukutabe is a beautiful slice-of-life GL. Slowburn, but id say pretty clear.

Thank you for the rec once again. I've seen the first season and it was so heartwarming! I honestly wanted a kiss but they didn't end up kissing till the end, not even a confession... I guess it's going to be a while before either of them makes a move? I'm going to watch season 2 as well.

That alone makes it a must watch for me. I love Tsuiraku JK. Already added the drama to my Upcoming Dramas custom list and now will add to my PTW. ^^

I've seen it on Furritsubs. ?

Superb start! What a neat & clean first episode! Acting and direction is on point. Casting is top notch, justice done to the manga. Hiroko san is so bewitching, I can totally see why Ayaka is head over heels for her, I would be like that too ?
Renewed my Gagaoolala subscription to watch this, support should be shown towards the project by watching it on legit platform. The first episode is free, so check it out folks.
Personally I give high praises for a show which provides a meaningful outro and this one has an amazing outro, a good outro is language of love for viewers from creators.
9.5/10 for episode 1, 0.5 deducted only because it's not 1 hr long episode, haha.

Though watching it on Gagaoolala app is highly recommend.
