>>4572856Whoops, my bad - there is no hetsex in "Girls Like Girls", only denied attempted het-sex and het-kissing. I admit I just read the summary and thought "Blake" was a guy, but it's just strange girls name, there is lesbian sex.
>>4572859>name that sounds like a boy's nameYup, it's lesbian fiction.
>>4572856Is this prison yuri?
>>4573730No, those are school uniforms - Shades is about an Elite All-Girl School.If you want Prison-Yuri:Clairebell - it's on YouTube, or uncut on OneD
>>4573730>>4573741Asian school, prison, same difference
>>4573782>Asian school, prison, same differenceHow is asian school any less of a prision than in the rest of the world.In most countries school is mandatory, ergo, they are prisons.

Pilot for a new GL - "Love Above The Clouds"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw9TWxqpDqk
>>4572856>Mook, Mint, England, Ploy, OpalPlease tell me these are stagenames.
>>4574002Well kinda, in Thailand it's normal to give your children (or yourself) a nickname, their real name usually comes afterwards for example:Mook is really named Worranit ThawornwongMint is Benjanee WatcharavasoontaraEngland is Ladamanee Rattanapornvareesakuland I think you'll see why they chose to pick nicknames, as their real names are a mouthful.
>>4574007>RattanapornvareesakulRat porn vessel!
new JP GL coming out in September, casting call seems to point to How Do We Relationship as it's asking for "university students, has a light music club, a tennis club, a family restaurant, an izakaya, a ramen restaurant, a training camp scene, a live performance scene" Also being done by production company that did Ayaka.
>>4574066Already picked up. It continues the trend of yuri live actions being made for women while yuri anime is made for men
>mfw AI Girl is actually a pretty solid romcom...
The new EXTREMELY HETSLOP show about Elle Woods, from Legally Blonde has some scraps.
puyfaiploy!!!>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_SF8XZasmU
Okay, which one takes the crown for best GL this year (or maybe ever) Clairebell or Shade?
>>4574149Either Shades or maaaaybe Hometown Romance.Clairebell was super mid but with a robust budget so people think it's prestige GL but it had some retarded scenes and high suspension of disbelief towards the end. And don't get me started on the very graphic het on a GL.
>>4574344I'm so tired of people thinking Clairebell is some prestige Thai GL show. Throw some money at the production budget and all of a sudden it's gold (shit). Also, their boss is a huge weirdo.
>>4574149Its EWB and you all know it.That said Shades is so fucking good that i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up not having a s2...fuck!
>>4574148These two need a show asap, heck every pair in Shades should have a show.Specially the predator teacher.
>>4574446Live action yuri kind of makes me cringe but I'm almost tempted to watch
>>4574447Luckily they are all in the same company..and yes, I am bitter about the recent news
>>4574469>I am bitter about the recent newswat news?
>>4574344Honestly, the plot and acting in Hometown Romance feel too cartoonish, like a cheesy anime. The only saving grace is the setting, though. It's set in rural Thailand, which gives us a real glimpse of their local culture, and that's actually pretty refreshing for a GL series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv5nfSMIp-8New GL with Grace Budsarin, they're not showing her new partner yet, which is odd, but apparently a full pilot comes in 5 days.
Why so much live action GL in Amogus language?
>>4575117I think it's because Thais are giant weeaboos
>>4575117>Thais love their homo stories so a fuckton of yuri novels catered to 20-somethings already existed since years ago>someone made one live action in current world and it made a lot of money even gaining international recognition>many others want money so they started making series too>popular series lead to making actresses popular worldwide and securing partnerships with big brands like Dior, Chanel, Valentino, YSL, Pepsi, Pantene, L'oreal and more>GL and faggot Thai series are the country's soft power like (on a way bigger scale) anime is to Japan and K-pop is to Korea.tl;dr: big stonks
>>4575086Interesting
>>4575191You might want to add that Thailand actually tried to jumpstart the Yuri craze in the early 10s with a Tomboy/Femme movie and its sequel.
>>4575117That's their cheat code, basically. They have a well-established entertainment industry, but it's still very small compared to Korea and Japan, so international audiences naturally gravitate toward series from those two countries. GL, however, is a whole different ballgame. Since countries like Korea, Japan, and China aren't very tolerant of homosexual content, they can't really invest in or commit to this genre. That gives Thailand the perfect opportunity, they can easily turn a good profit on low-budget GL series that would get zero attention if they were about straight couples. It's practically a free monopoly for them.
Any poly Thai live action GL?
>>4575117It's cheap to make.
I can't believe EWB is over...till the special ep!
>>4575595Keep that stupid shit on us, the westerners.
>>4575595Pluto almost does with >>4575672 these two, at least Ciize tries lol before getting with the third in conflict...its pretty messy but then again its Pluto, a show with low level sex stuff but with a ton of messy shit around it!>>4575694Theres at least a decade before Thiland would even touch that stuff for real.
Whos the girl that was introduced at the end of EWB? after View i mean, another BLF char? or a new GMMTV talent?
>mfw gmmtv fucked up again by not having Bake Love Feeling ready to drop at the end of Enemies...
>>4574066Airing on September 10. Gaga will probably pick up the subs, but if not then maybe furritsubs will come through again.
>>4575708The new girl at work?Copy paste from a post on MyDramaList:>Her name is Sangt, she is an actress and idol under GMMTV/Riser Music. Some people joke that she is JanJingjing daughter cause of their resemblance.No idea if she'll be a character in BLF but mybe she'll show up in the wedding special. It was a little too in your face the way she air dropped on EWB.
>>4575708Sangt SillapintrShe's with GMMTV since 2024 (started acting in late 2025) and part of Thai-Pop girlband "Felizz", it doesn't look like there will be girl kissing for her in the near future. she'll be playing support-roles in some BLs, no partner in sight.
>>4575738>>4575751Thanks anons.
>>4575718What's up with lesbians and music? To be fair, chicks dig musicians so it must be the same with lesbians
https://twitter.com/tsukikana_mbs/status/2074085341326434432
>>4575751>it doesn't look like there will be girl kissing for her in the near futureWhat a waste.
>>4575595only love triangles so far, like roller coaster
>start watching Chasing Love>the girl and what is presumed to be a prostitute exchange medical informationThat's new.
>>4576405Netflix fucked up the description she is not a prostitute, just a horny kinoslut.Its her first time and she wanted to be fucked hard by the alpha bitch of the app.The two WHORESGLs are the next Shelly/Pundao show and the next MiuLena show.
>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6bdFaf37MsWHORES kino incoming!But not really Miu is pure
>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpmrwzAUZOcGrace is back you fags! and the ACTING of her partner is back also!Oh and for UScrapers heres the new teenslop from Prime with the nepo bitch from Until Dawn, lmao, and the bad Fear Street follow up;>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omiVrHOM3foThe sister seems to be into something with the blonde friend.
AAHHHHHHHH! SHADES s2 confirmed for 2027!Also they are either releasing the rest of s1 as special eps or they are doing 6 special eps between s1 and s2.
>>4577635Where did they confirm S2? - Because , Hell yeah... This is the best Thai GL.
>>4577648Twatter, the special ep thing entices me, it sounds like they are filming some version of s1 part 2 as 6 specials and then a new season!
They finally released live action of She Is Still Cute Today.https://x.com/YukkoLoml/status/2075088365654069563
>>4577018The 2nd one is grasping at straws sis...
>be thai>hate these thai gxg shows because the acting is so bad>youtube decided to recommend them to me anywayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYiCChwpeGkThis one looks kinda promising, IDK I will probably never watch it.
no more love's echoes, huh?they even removed the trailer from youtube.
>>4578079Lucky for you, it won't be releasing in the near future (or maybe even at all)>>4578088Wonder what happened. Didn't they participate in a concert just last month?
>>4578079>actual Thai outside /pol/Rare
>>4578079>Uranus 2324No one would recommend that., not even FreenBeck fans.
>>4578088Sucks if they canceled Love Echo cause that pilot actually looked good and the role was made for Mewnich, she already knew sign language. Hope they allow her to do it with another actress.Hate the shitty ThaiGL work model. They should allow actresses to act in a GL series without forcing them into a permanent partnership.
>>4578088>>4578095It appears the name "June" is cursed. I mean it's already the 2nd work-partnership for June Wanwimol that ended.And I heard that June Nannirins partner (Enjoy Thidarat) left Channel 3, so they are not working for the same company any more, which, if you remember the great tragedy of PamArhoung, is a terrible sign.I wonder if they cancel the project altogether, I don't think they went that deep into development, so just a recast is plausible, curious to see if they stick with either June or Mewnich or completely reset the table. ...did I hear Piploy shippers in the distance?
>>4578079>imagine larping as a labyboy on yuri board
>>4578108It's pretty much inevitable. From what I understand, their TV industry hardly makes any money off broadcast airings, even for big mainstream dramas. That’s why GL series mainly have to depend on fan meetings at home and overseas to stay afloat.
>>4577967After watching the first ep of Couple Of Mirrors i'm getting more and more attracted to Chinese 'GL'...its gonna be a good thing to get into now that i can totally see a new Thai GL drought about to hit.>>4578088GMMTV fucked up hilariously by dropping all those trailers last year, we barely got ONE of those by mid26!I was wondering how did they dropped the ball that bad by not getting BLF ready to launch at the end of EWB just last week.
>>4578227I guess "Girl Rules" was a messy production that was supposed to air way earlier, now all the main actresses are/were still busy promoting "Girl Rules", because as the other anon pointed out: the Fanservice makes the money, not the show. Now that "Enemies with Benefits" is in the focus, they probably slowly start pre-production - but I don't expect Ditto, BLF or Her to air in 2026.The next shows will be Oxytocin - pretty much done and in post-production.Moonshadow is filming and I guess Wish Upon A Star is in line for a late 2026 release.
>>4578236Basically, even if i liked it coff mostly coff, Girl Rules fucked everything up.
>>4578236Also yeah, we are absolutely not getting more than two more shows before 2027.Heck, i think Change runs out of shows next week?
>>4578236>The next shows will be Oxytocin - pretty much done and in post-production.I'm lowkey hyped for that one, it looks like the kiddiepop version of Shades.
I watched The Water, it was garbage, I just can't with that pairing, I have tried with all their series and they all suck, I could not get past episode 2 with all the forced shit happening. I can tolerate freenbeck series just fine and they're the same company right? Are the Earth and the Air somewhat believable as a history that might happen in human reality? Then I watched Shades because you people said it was good and you actually didn't lie to me. So there are decently made productions out there. So what else is decent? Is the live action of Ayaka and Hiroko any good? I enjoyed Reverse 4 You too, I have not touched korean GL because they sound like nothingburgers but maybe I'm missing one.
>>4578361If you liked Shades, then try Clairebell, Heart Code, Love Beyond Dreams, Broken of Love and Reverse With Me (in that order imo).For Korean GLs, On & Off is a decent low-budget series on YT. It has 3 seasons.
>>4578370broken of love and reverse with me are not good series.queendom, love design, and enemies with benefits are great.
>>4578411The three you listed have completely different vibe from Shades. I agree that BoL and RWM aren't that good, but they have darker storylines like Shades.Queendom and Love Design are indeed great, but imo EWB is widly overrated. It's fun and enjoyable watch for sure, but that's about it.
Still no rip of president and vice president?
>>4578370>>4578411>>4578370I'll check out everything you recommended, I don't really mind if it has a different vibe, if it's a comedy or dramatic, i'm used to watching telenovelas too, but the way people were acting in The Water made no sense, it was worse that horror movie logic retarded and the leads were not likable enough to suspend my disbelief enough for it. Apparently I can only trust /u/ because all lesbians in social media are way too horny to tell if a series is garbage. Fucking why, I don't know, it's not the old ages where all Yuri had fucking men in the middle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQmoCaUF5ocyou can actually pinpoint the second when her heart rips in half
>>4578088GMMTV actually did a good one and didn't scrap Love's Echoes as it was already in pre production, they just recasted June's character to a girl named Jaoying. She was already part of Oxytoxin and has a support role on Wish Upon a Star.Moonshadow is like halfway filmed already so it will come out this year. Ditto has had costume fittings so they should start filming very soon. No updates on Bake Love Feelings. >>4576664Almost done filming and with the speed Ch3 vomits its GLs, this one will air when In Love Forever finishes in September. I've actually liked having their """quality""" series to look forward to almost every Friday this year.The Fire is miles better than The crappy Air. I love the changes they've done from the novel. Fai is already shown getting wet for Kaphrao.AI Girl is unpredictable, fucking good, and kinda sexy. I don't think it will end up happening but main girl is ready to make use of Ai as a sexbot. Considering it's in the same world as Love Beyond Dreams, Gen and Irene are timeless soulmates or some shit like that with time travelling and that's why Gen knew Irene's face and Irene treats her in a special way.Chasing Love was OK, it was good but it just didn't grip me. All six women made way more convincing lady lovers that the two on Sup'tar.No more GLs from Change for this year.
>>4580393Ditto had to go into overdrive because i 100% believe they weren't gonna save Love Echoes, but they did so good one for GMMTV.Personally i really hope they have success with Ditto so they can do the sequels with Ciize as main and Piploy as main the last one.
>>4580393>The Fire is miles better than The crappy Air.They dropped the ball too hard for the Air.
>>4580393I kinda dig the Change2561 shows, mostly because LMSY are superhot, and Fay Apisara from the other shows is incredibly attractive, I just like watching her - I wouldn't mind if her and Gene are second couple in every Change GL from now on. Gift is also very attractive... it's just a visual company.I agree that IWannaBeASuptar was subpar, it was too loud, with lots of obnoxious screaming and nonsense plot. They were better as a side-couple in Harmony Secret.
>>4579470episodes 7&8 of chasing love are pretty bad, ep5 is the high point.>>4580393now i have zero investment in love's echoes and bake love feeling.>>4580396ditto has a significant cast. snap25 has a lot of projects though so i hope they can maintain quality.>>4580399faygene improved a lot from sup'tar but so did their script.gift is a veteran actress and excellent singer as well. we would all like to see more from her.i think aomsin is a decent actress but her character basically disappeared from the show. her script was surprisingly short at the end.
Episode four of AI Girl didn't disappoint!
Not gonna lie: I feel bad for all of those actresses being forced to engage on homosexual acts in front of a camera for money. It's not different from a lesbian girl being forced to let a man kiss her for money.
>>4581402ROBOSEXUALS
>>4581414It's acting. It's a job.
>>4581414You are legally allowed to say no to a job you don't want to do, it's not like they go in not knowing the script. People sell themselves for less than this
>>4581414Are there any actual real lesbians playing lesbian characters in anything??
>>4581414Let's put aside the fact that most of them are Nepo-Babies that don't need to do it for the money, put aside that most of them are bi, queer or lesbian and that it's all happening voluntarily.What really should make you feel bad is the constant spotlight on them, the pressure, the amount of online hate they get, either active via insults or passive via smear campaigns, that most of them are sleep-deprived, malnourished and often sick, because they travel from gig to gig... but that's a problem for any actor. I don't think playing a homosexual character takes a toll on them, many straight women feel more comfortable with other women as with random guys. Plenty of performers are asking to be in GLs, just remember Piploy, before her Emi was asking to play in a GL, Nur Desoraya launched her own company to make her own GL to star in.But if you really want to feel bad, just take a look at porn"stars", who'll burn their bridges for a buck (tbf many bucks) and have to do much, much, MUCH worse than some PG12 love scenes.>>4581425It's hard to discern who is just pretending for the crowd and attention, but officially there are plenty of girls who had a coming out, though usually as "queer", from the top of my mind: Shelly Phetsai and Aom Pundao are dating and acting together, Sonya Saranphat was dating women, Namtan Tipnaree dated women, Engfa Waraha, Faye Peraya, Oaey Ponchanok, Pangjie Paphavarin, Tan Duangkaew, Miusic Praewa (in a relationship with a woman) and Mie Phattaranan (not sure about Aya) are "out", some are rumoured like FayMay and I heard that Ice Amena has a girlfriend and that's why her onscreen pairing with Memi Muanfun got broken up.In many other cases the line between genuine attraction and fan-service is blurry, but I suggest to remain sceptical - in the end they are paid for pretending.
>>4578115Aaaaaand I was right, 10 days later and EnjoyJune is over, shortly after JuneMewnich... ironically in July.
>>4581435Oh please. We know all of those actresses are just engaging in Business Yuri to prop their careers and the shows they work for.
>>4572856Finally caught up with and finished Enemies with Benefits, when I saw it was less toxic than I was expecting after the pilot I thought it was going to be just harmless fluff of Janhae failing her way into JingJing's affections but it went somewhere a bit more interesting than that. Also JanJingJing have the best chemistry I've seen in Thai GL
>>4572856There's a youtube channel I'm looking for that I can't find anymore, the one that links to a primer for Thai GL, anyone know what it was called?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6bdFaf37MsI finished reading the Pls Love novel and it's very dark. Miu's charater (named Pan) is a "host girl" in a club in which some girls whore themselves but she doesn't and just serves drinks. Some rich woman (Pheem, Lena's character) with serious problems expressing her feelings falls for her and asks her to sit on her lap- no, wrong series. and starts to have sex with her... for money.I loved the novel even if it has two graphic rape attempts because Pan (an apparent prostitute) is like shit to society and most treat her as such.With the kiddy shit Ch3 has pulled with Fulfill and ILF, I have no idea how much they will water down Pls Love the series as to not alienate GL fans and the general public. The trailer is already more romantic than the novel, which is good.Important message to yuri fans and purists: Pan is pure. Throughout the novel she's believed to have sex and be involved with three men, and Pheem thinks she's just her being a prostitute. With time she starts finding out Pan never had sex or kissed any of those men and was just playing a companion role. In fact Pan has only had sex with Pheem in her whole life.
>>4582935They changed a lot apparently, there was people bitching about it on twatter last week.That said it looks like they keep Miu's char pure.
>>4581713give us more info?>>4582935that seems to be how the trailer goes too.
So after literal years, the pilot being taken down and recasting the main character, "Buy My Boss" has a release date: 28. October
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mSW8fnCIQ0lmao velcurve leaked the uranus special version on their youtube.i downloaded it, i'm sure others saw it before it was removed.>>4586334they only did their original pilot with the first cast right?i want to see the teaser with the final cast members.
>>4586334October seems to be the key month for the big ThaiGL return, Under Her Rules is also just dated for October.
Oh and for the two Westernfags still around theres a new YA prime show, Bezos is the new CW, Sterling Point, its by the bitch that made that shitty movie My Old Ass and the better, but still bislutslop, The Fallout.That said it appears to be pretty good overall and for the lesbians, the second lead, the sister of the MC, is in love with the fuckboi lesbian of the town.They apparently get a lot of focus, but the main focus is on the het sister and her two dude love interests.
