These two.. I haven't seen the series yet. But their kiss was intense!! 

lmao this is such a fitting song. Also watching hyeri in motion...she's soooo talented, literal art. I recommend the show, personally! lmk what you think if you end up watching!

i'm watching like a palette right now because i've been wanting prig in a gl for years. But I don't know if I like this.

Just be aware that Friendly Rivalry is not a really a GL drama.  It's closer to a thriller than a typical romcom and there is no real "romance" as such, although there is underlying sexual tension. The bathtub scene was actually a dream sequence, not an event that actually occurred. Having said all of that, it is still a decent watch.

I'm half way through it, and I'm quite liking it. Obviously it won't be winning any awards, but I'm finding it quite entertaining. I think its important for anyone watching this drama to understand that it is a VERY light-hearted, sugary sweet, super-fluffy rom com that requires you to turn your brain off and just enjoy it for what it is.

I agree, it's very light-hearted which I tend to dislike hence why I ended up dropping it at the half way mark. I'm glad you're enjoying it though!

Yes, the song choice for that fmv is something else eh

I'll write a few thoughts here once I do watch it this year. I don't know when I'll get to it but, eventually.

oh yeah I know about all that already. Lucky for me, I do like thrillers and we got the kiss anyway. Matters not if it's real haha

This is good!

Does this drama have a MDL page?

Even If - Thai GL short film. This was realistic. TW for homophobic bullying. :(

I feel like short films like these need to be made. It was just like a western lesbian short film.

A lot of struggle and in the end, they don't end up together.

This song slaps!!

When the Tide Rises (China, 2021) - short film, about family life and some issues. Honestly a lighter watch than a lot of things I've seen this week.

Pragma (South Korea, 2014) - short film. It's so cute!

So I looked through the lesbian relationship tag sorted by recently added and damn, found something that is good, but also, probably won't see the light of day internationally.  Japan, whyy T_T

Great find. Really want to watch this documentary.

We are going through our pregnancy planning and it is really difficult to be same sex parents in a conservative society. In our country same sex family is legalized by law but not marriage, the apex court has given verdict that anyone can start a family with anyone but didn't allow same sex marriage. Surprisingly our families are very supportive in our decision of becoming parents, even more than they were initially in case of us becoming a couple.

That's amazing! Wishing you the best of luck with everything.

Yeah, over here nothing's in law yet. I don't know when Romanian politics will be at the quality necessary for same-sex marriage and adoptions/same sex family to be legalized. So far, you can adopt but only single person afaik, and they also thankfully passed that European Union law recently about marriages performed outside the country. Those are legal now, throughout the EU, regardless of specific country's laws.

Small steps. But I fear without external pressure, Romania will continue to be stupid when it comes to gay marriage. :(
