GL Drama Lovers Club

 Ryn:

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.

I'm not a fan of that one, clearly. They should have kept it to all women. Why involve a man in a GL plot is beyond me. 

Anyway, this is why I said we got 7.5 GLs instead of 8.

That and, I cannot wait for EmiBonnie GL and JanhaePloy and MilkLove.

I did not understand some things from the trailers but since they're just that, trailers, I think it's best to be ignored until we get the actual series. Although unfortunately in "Her" case, that won't change much of that atrocious plot.

I'm also glad I won bingo 4 times (yay!) and got to sit still for 5+ hours, watching a screen. :/

Okay so I decided to do this, too. Just in case I forget to do it later.

Turns out I want to see 15 series, 3 maybes. Then there are 18 no's.
Only time will tell if I truly want to see all of these.

I don't see them hiring actual trans people tho. And do they even have LGB people among their team of actors and actresses? I know Namtan said something about herself being bi, so did Milk. Anyone else?

From what I've seen a ton of GL actresses have said they were not straight, but idk how many of those were from GMMTV specifically. Maybe Ciize and View? Idk don't remember. BL actors are also increasingly open about this in general. Not to mention the behind the scenes crew which is also largely not straight. But I'm not going to dig up listicles.

Paper Peerada, Yoshi Rinrada Thurapan and Rock Kwanlada Rungrojampa would all have been suitable trans candidates in terms of acting experience and in terms of the conventional attractiveness that GMMTV definitely looks for in its actresses. But personally I would actually also really like Godji and Golf Kittipat as a ship together. Though I understand that GMMTV wouldn't take that marketing risk given that they're both in their early 40's (but I kinda like that because I would like a more diverse age range). They were already a side couple in 23,5 and they are both still GMMTV actresses, so there's not zero hope. Jennie Panhan is another trans GMMTV actress who has featured as part of side couples before.

 Soljiwan:

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. 

They made a statement/post saying that thats not the reason for the transition but they cant say more because of spoilers.

still wish they wouldve used this as a chance to lift of transgender actresses though.

I just finished "I Am Devil Season 2" . In terms of quality, its very similar to Season 1. ... which means it is quite a low budget, amateur production.  It is watchable, but I suggest you only watch it if you're a hard core GL fan. For everyone else, there are plenty of better dramas (GL or otherwise) you can watch.

 chirisu:

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

we need a GL bingo!!

 Soljiwan:

Does anyone know where to watch Futari Escape with english subs ? I found the first episode but I'm not able to find the rest. 

I dont know how far they have gotten:

Lonely Subber is doing a valiant job of creating subtitle files on D-O. There's also the tumblr subber Isaksbestpillow working on the project (though i personally haven't vetted them, so proceed with caution)
