Nv Er Hong (2023)

Kinda toxic sapphic fantasy romance… yay :)

This drama is pretty much everything I could ask for from a GL mini-series. It’s got star-crossed sapphic romance, sword fights, demons and immortals, and a good dose of comedy. Despite the melodramatic setup, the story doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Sheng Wei and Wang Xi Xue always always always deliver with their chemistry, including here. They are dressed beautifully and look gorgeous together. Whenever the two of them are involved, I will be watching, no questions asked. This drama even includes Yang Fu Yu to round out the lesbian polycule.

It’s about as explicitly gay as it can be, given that this is still a Chinese drama. There are no illusions about whether these girls are into each other, that’s for sure.

I recommend this one, it’s a gem among other historical GLs.
