GL News of Western Novel Variety

I think in the future I'll still link the overall post I'm pulling the info from, but I'll only mention directly the ones that seem unique or otherwise distinct from normal. I hate to judge books like that, but even I'm intimidated looking at that list.

Unrelated but, I'm going to have to take a break from MDL and watching dramas for a while. I don't know when I'll come back, but a break is in order. Unless I want to have a mental breakdown over the fact I consume entirely too much media. I'll see y'all later. Going to find myself a hobby or something. Cheers!

It's not a bad thing to take a break from any activity for a while, especially if its taking up more of your time than it should. Enjoy your break, and when come back when you're ready.

I've just finished "Somewhere Somehow". Here are some thoughts with minor spoilers.

An easy to watch, fun rom-com. I really enjoyed the first half of the drama while they were still at school and university. Personally I found some of the episodes in the second half of the drama (when they were working) to be a little draggy. Also, the writer's decision to have Kiran not tell Peem why she ghosted her for 7 years missed an opportunity for a very powerful reconciliation scene. Writers just seem so reluctant to write characters who are able to have an adult conversation.
In terms of runtime, I think 13 hours was more time than was needed to tell this story. Tighter dialogue and cutting some of the padding scenes (and giving Pok less screentime) would have resulted in a better drama in my judgement.
I thought the drama finished strongly, with the proposal scene (with all the people and the band), being one of the best I've seen in any drama. I was also satisfied with how Poon got put in his place.
For fans of GL dramas, it is a must watch. For general viewers, if you like fluffy coming of age rom coms, you'll probably like this.
My score: 8/10

A few GLs are on my feed post!

They are fewer than the BL titles but that's because I haven't seen as many GLs >_<"

Aaah GMMTV 2026 pilots are finally coming out! At first glance it look like about seven GL thumbnails yay!

We got 8 series. I'm so happy ! Finally gmmtv is taking gl seriously. 

 Ryn:

At this point they'd be really stupid not to haha.

But wow just watched all the GL trailers and it's looking good :). Except 'Her'. I'm not sure about that plot. Like is she possessed by his ghost or is it more of a transformation situation? Either way... idk if I'm a fan.

Yeah...I'm not a fan of that one honestly. I wish they choose a transgender actresses. Also, I didn't like that they used the main character transitioning as a plot device for revenge. I felt super uncomfortable. 

This is my completed bingo for this year. I got almost all the pieces right and I couldn't have done so without the help of GMMTV itself. Since they added so many series this year, everyone had something.

See you next year and until then I AM SO GOING TO WATCH ALL THE GLs <3
