✨☀️sapphic summer☀️✨

We were in the middle of watching this, but then I got super busy and kept putting it off. So why not let you, Ani and I find a time to watch it, and maybe even advertise it to the other clowns in case they're interested?

I can't remember if you were the person I recommended this to who then said they'd seen it, but if not then we NEED to watch this PRONTO! Even if you've already seen it I'm most definitely rewatching this at some point!

Our dearest resident fansubber Douqi recently finished the subs for this and as much as I wanted to watch it the instant she finished I thought of you and saved it for a sapphic summer!

12 eps, 55 mins. This was my first Asian GL, and honestly, I think it's an experience I'd love to relive even though I was side eying quite a bit. Tbh, this was MANY people's first Asian GL - it seems to be the Hana Yori Dango of Asian GL. Also, the chemistry? THE SPICE? Definitely present!

I rated it 8.5 on a subjective scale, because I barely remembered it when I was rerating but remembered liking some music and shots. Also, I've heard this was the show that brought Thai GL a lot of international fame, notably in LatAm as evidenced by the large number of Portugese/BR tags on fan accounts! Which is why I kinda wanna learn the language now - so I can communicate with more GL fans!

This one stood the test of time pretty well! The music was alright, and I was initially kinda confused by a comment comparing it to TharnType, but honestly the basic premises are the same. Homophobic person and queer person who refuses to change themself for the homophobe's comfort end up sharing a room, with the queer person falling for the straight person, and said straight person eventually falling for the queer one for a happily after. The main difference that means I like YoN but not TT, past the genders, is that Yes or No, despite being quite older than TT, doesn't go nearly as problematic a route as TT does. But then again, I have learnt that MAME is pretty notorious for the problematic stuff, and that's alright, but it's not my cup of tea when we're meant to like the characters.

I'll also add that this was another which seems to be many people's first GL. I wonder how well it will stand the test of time - it does still seem to be liked, but I wonder if that comes from a place of nostalgia.

I saw the photos in the coffee beans channel (news bit) of the GL server and I fell hard. So I thought it might be an interesting and less fluffy one to watch!

I'm restarting this one and I'm watching it over summer. I don't care if it's with someone else or alone, but I really wanna watch it and I think late summer/early autumn will be a good time!

This one seemed really cute from the single episode I saw, but again I'll restart and finish it eventually. It's short so I'd consider putting this one as a watch party show!

Has a sapphic couple in one of the anthologies, and I might crave horror at some point in summer so it will be nice to have some sapphic rep appear!

Short, I've heard a lot of good stuff about this one.

If people wanna watch it, I'm considering making a server watch party just for this show since while I wanted to do a wp while it aired but I wasn't able to because of exams and how unreliable I can be.

Looks fascinating, although very mysterious.

This sounds beautiful!

Had my eye on this for a while!

Heard so much about it - I think you've already seen it dear electric eel!

There are three acts to this, and I've seen it on so many people's lists. It looks interesting.

Seems light, and I remember another show with a similar premise except title very clearly implies a different ending. It does have a gay relationship bc of the leads fake marrying to hide their respective queer lovers but the sapphic part would probably be significant enough to call this a contender for sapphic summer!

Wang Lao Ji is here - you've seen her in The Lost World (she was giving all the gender and was poorer - Mu Qing Feng) and also in Nv Er Hong I think.

Short (4 min) film with Sheng Wei (I've raved about her a LOT!)
