It's never a 100% sure thing. This industry can shift and change, contracts expire or get terminated, and the appeal of reunions is well-documented.

Several "dead ships" have reunited (SingtoKrist being perhaps one of the most popular). Other pairs have mentioned offhandedly that they wouldn't mind coming back together for the right opportunity.

And it doesn't seem like Smart and Boom are on bad terms with each other. From what I can glean from all the press statements, it sounds like this situation arose from the side of one or both of their management companies and the producer. But ofc, that is speculation. We might never know what truly went down behind-the-scenes.

But as for SmartBoom, since I do not see signs of them being on bad terms, I think it's appropriate to say "never say never." But I do think it's rude to be pestering them in the meantime. Besides, I've always been of the belief that being saddled in the same pairing project after project after project can impede their growth.

I will personally continue to hope for another project for these 2 together, and i will also be rooting for their success independently of each other in the meantime.

If you try again, i can help out ^-^

There were instructions in the greeting message. You just have to click a certain emoji role to agree to the rules of the server.

It’s to weed out bots.

There’s my server, overlapping with the forum club, but with some different members and a wider scope of GL coverage than MDL: GL Fandom Cafe:
https://discord.gg/hxnBg42Pp3

Theres also BL GL Wonderland: https://discord.gg/blglwonderland

And theres a server called GirlsLove but i’ll have to see if i can track down an invite code

Not sure about Instagram, but i know of some other groups:

The MDL GL Drama Lovers Club over in forums
https://kisskh.at/discussions/general-asia-forum/91593-gl-drama-lovers-club

and then I know of 3 discord servers that are either GL focused or have a GL corner

Yea, i know. Unfortunately at this point, gl omegaverse is mainly novels and comics (and fanfic ofc).

GMMTV definitely heard the demand lol. And seen the gauntlets thrown from other companies who have stated dedication to their GL content.

Can't help but wonder though if theyre spreading themselves too thin with the overall number of productions? They are a mere daily timeslot rather than a whole channel. Many are probably going to be streaming only, on paid platforms.

Im torn. Happy for her... but this is a shared universe with Whale Store. We're in the same production company, why not keep the actress that was already connected to the character?

If it's any consolation, there will be a GL supporting couple in the omegaverse BL Knot: https://kisskh.at/800314-knot

Mashii ended her contract with K11D in September, so whether this is cancelled, recast, or will be using her in a freelance capacity is definitely a question.

Filipino GL film "Open Endings" entered the film festival circuit in October. There is no news yet on streaming plans.

> Open Endings is tender, funny, a little unhinged, and full of yearning. It’s a story about holding on to the people who’ve seen you through every version of yourself, and stayed.

__Director's Statement:__
OPEN ENDINGS comes from a personal place: a need to explore the kinds of queer relationships we rarely see on screen. As a queer woman in my 30s living in the Philippines, I often search for stories that mirror the life I know: soft, messy, complicated. Stories that reflect the quiet, uncertain parts of adulthood. This film leans into those grey areas: when things aren’t simple anymore, when relationships shift, labels blur, and friendship becomes the most lasting kind of intimacy. For many queer women, that uniquely intimate bond is what holds us through heartbreak, change, and everything in between. What I want to show is that staying connected, even after love takes a different shape, is still a love story. That’s what OPEN ENDINGS is really about. I hope this film adds something meaningful to the growing conversation around queer stories in Philippine cinema. It’s not perfect, but it’s honest—just one version of what love can look like. There’s still so much more to tell. So let’s keep making space for queer stories that feel real and true.

It appears that the inclusion of "brother" here means in terms of "P" not blood relation.
Not sure what's going on there with the "sibling" tie tho. Stepsibling?
