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.

and screenwritten by Shimo Ayumi (Shanai Marriage Honey; Our Dining Table; Tsuiraku JK to Haijin Kyoshi;

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. 🥰

Hi all, @JulyMoon requested a few new badges for the club.

Made these new emblem badges so far, will add more later :)

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.

Those are beautiful!

So many upcoming GLs in the next few months!

Sky Valley on July 20th

The Loyal Pin on August 4th

Reverse 4 You on August 31st

Unlock Your Love on September 11th

Also a lot more currently filming: Mom Pet Sawan, Pluto, I'm Your Moon, Affair and Petrichor. I believe at least half of these will air this year (but hopefully all of them)

We really won't have to wait several months for more GL content ever again, what a time to be alive

I believe that Mom Pet Sawan should air around the end of the year, if not the beginning of next year. Pluto should be out by the end of the year as well (Sing also said that about Us by I honestly really doubt that though) then there's also Affair in September and Apple due for October! And who knows what else ;))


In unfortunate news, it looks like Mii My Girls probably won't happen. The instagram page they'd made for it has disappeared and so is the announcement photo from the director, P'Champ. The company H8 seems to be looking to cast a female lead in her mid to late twenties for a GL so I'm assuming that Som dropped out since she's just had a baby because May was just recently in 1000 Years Old.

i really really hope for Apple to star filming soon!! tho I'm a bit skeptical about the October release date, I still have hope!! anyways, this year gl is on fire specifically Thai gl! Considering we had the first full length one in 2022 and we only had 2 in 2023, these numbers are insane, I believe we will get at least 10 by the end of the year
