hey yall ive been a member for a while,  but i never really posted anything much. can yall recommend me enemies to lovers wlw. but i want like slightly toxic type of? something like friendly rivalry but more prominent romance, not just subtext. please~~

I think Harmony Secret and Queendom are the closest we currently have to enemies to lovers, with the caveat that I don't think HS is a good series. 

Red Devil and Heroine Su  is five minutes long and basically a music video however I would still classify this as enemies to lovers. 

Yes or No is kind of like a one sided enemies to lovers but not toxic. 

No post for 2 days? omg, I leave and everyone leaves too =))

It's not funny... where are u guys

I'm back, this time with the nuanced understanding that while MDL admins are homophobic, that doesn't mean I can't be in-your-face about being bi on here and talk even more about BL and GL dramas and movies.

Which brings me to: no GL watched since I left, but I'll rectify that as soon as I can. I made a schedule for watching for the entire year and there is GL throughout. but I forgot I'm a mood watcher and also about the BL/GL watch challenges, so the schedule might be of no use after all.

how is everyone? did you watch anything interesting lately?

 Tina:
you watch anything interesting lately?

just got into friendly rivalry! wbu. 

 Tina:
MDL admins are homophobic

a bit too much. its more like their agenda is hating on gl/bl fans more than gl/bl it self. kinda like taylor swift haters.
so much so, theyd rather put "top anime" but dont dare put top thailand or taiwan or php, because god forbid some good queer drama might pop up

 ree0:

omg I need to watch this! I was busy with making a schedule for completing my BL/GL watch challenges

so far, so good. I'm set to finish both of them by July 31st if all goes well. 3 eps or a movie a day

:O I'm not sure how Taylor Swift haters are tbh. I don't really listen to her music

 ree0:

omg that section kills me every time. especially since when I want to search for "Japanese drama" in my custom lists, that thing gets counted too T_T I didn't realize Top Anime was there considering that feature is still in the works. lol, this is sad

 Tina:

i dont listen to her music either. i barely listen to english (my naitve language is bengali) songs unless they pop up on my fyp and the beat hits right or its vocaloid. but her haters solely run on the fact that shes taylor swift and she has so many fan ogling for her. same as the hate for bts or anything with a fanbase and demand-supply system which doesnt make the patriarchal "norm" happy.

 Tina:

yep anything but recognizing queer cinematography. 

 ree0:

yeah it's sad, like BTS have cool songs and I especially liked Agust D solo ones <3

I listen to music with English lyrics, but nowadays I'm mostly into either Thai rap or Zhang Zhe Han's albums lol (I think that's C-pop). There's Megan Thee Stallion for English rap songs, she's really cool

Overall, I should listen to more songs from various countries, but I'm loathe to go find new music rn

Taylor Swift's songs afaik are really slow and het romance so I'm not interested. but I do recognize she has a huge fan base and therefore, has huge haters too


Just decided to actually watch all the BLs and GLs I have dropped. In solidarity with every BL and GL series out there.

There aren't many BLs and GLs in existence, compared to het series. So actually dropping any would constitute letting go of a huge portion of the titles we do have.

This means I'll actually finish these two GLs:

1. Futari Escape -> started it last year, didn't like some of the plot, dropped it like a hot potato

2. GAP -> actually tried watching this one 2-3 times, kept falling asleep 2 episodes in lol

Hopefully I'll get through them. I'll post my findings here. :)

Ooh Zhang Zhe Han from Word of Honor, no? I love that show. Megan too though I haven't gotten a chance to wath the lover girl vid yet. 

Where did you watch Futari Escape? I've been trying to get ahold of it. 

 Tina:
did you watch anything interesting lately?

Since i'm currently suffering from post-Stranger Things disappointment and wanted a break from Asian dramas, I  decided to watch a show that doesn't have a crap ending so am currently binging Dark which is this german sci-fi show and genuinely one of the best shows i've ever watched. Once i'm done, i'll go back to my to-watch pile of GLs and assorted dramas

 aylinluna:

It's on Drama-Otaku but you need to apply for an account. They opened applications in fall 2025 so I was able to get in. :)

Yeah, that Zhang Zhe Han. His music is really cool.

So is Stranger Things worth it? There's a lot of hype about it but I'm not interested in watching. The last thing I watched from the west was Man of Steel movie lol and that's because I have seen an edit on Youtube by accident.

Dark sounds good although I'm not a fan of sci-fi. Is it with aliens? Is it scary?

I really should branch out to other countries soon. Already made up my mind to watch some Vietnamese GL and other series. We'll see how my time permits this. Also, I could totally watch Romanian movies. It's my native tongue so I don't really need subtitles although I get the feeling I wouldn't understand everything anyway. Having subtitles has reduced my ability to work for the audio, to understand it. idk

 Tina:
2. GAP -> actually tried watching this one 2-3 times, kept falling asleep 2 episodes in lol

gap is my guilty pleasure lol. i love that. i think i got more involved in the fanservice the couple did rather than the series itself

Watched 5 episodes of Futari Escape (1 more from where I dropped it) and let me tell you: it's not so bad.

They seem more like friends than girlfriends though and that bothers me. Plus, episode 4 was a disaster. I didn't like the plot for that one. Episode 5 is better. I believe they drank alcohol in each of the episodes so far, that can't be healthy. And they have the habit of sleeping outside, in the car, or in any case, not in their own home (they live together). The actresses are cute though, especially the actress who plays the Senpai. Odd show, they're only the two of them, Senpai and Kouhai. No other characters.

I'll probably end up giving it an 8, but it depends on the second half a lot.

I have never mentioned this here and do not know how many Indians are here on this thread but they are the biggest ghost ship of all time across any showbiz. Everyone of Indian sapphic community knows about them. While browsing some music on YT, this short video suddenly appeared as suggested, so I though of sharing

What would we not give to see them in a proper sapphic role? The ship-tease and subtext in this show is just...argh! We got queer baited the hail out of us in Supercorp but these 2 Supercop (Kareena ship) at least did not do that to us because one of them was married to a man from the get go.
