If you’re keen on finding out what lies beyond the couple’s happy ending, don’t miss out on the show’s sequel, Still2gether. Starring: Vachirawit Chivaaree, Metawin Opas-iamkajorn We’re not kidding when we say the best mantra that would sum up their love story is “Fake it till you make it!” Although the pair are wary of each other at first, their scheme not only works, but it forces them to address their growing feelings for one another, as well. Wanting to shake off his lovesick admirer, Tine, a handsome cheerleader, convinces campus heartthrob Sarawat to put on a pretend relationship with him. Starring: Sangpotirat Perawat, Ruangroj Prachaya In no time, though, their antagonistic relationship soon unexpectedly blossoms into romance. Determined to seek justice for himself and his fellow freshmen, he finds himself in constant conflict with the older bully. Down on his luck, however, Kongpob encounters an abusive third year senior, Arthit, who constantly uses his power to manipulate freshmen into breaking the rules.
FYI, it’s an event facilitated by the seniors of the Faculty of Engineering in hopes for freshmen to attain the “Gear,” or their token to signify being a student of the said department. Kongpob is just one of many engineering freshmen who must live through his school’s “S.O.T.U.S.” system this year. Below we round up six Thai BL dramas that you can add to your watch-list.

The story of Britain's Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners group reminds us that Pride Month is not just a celebration, but a protest.It looks like 2021 involves yet another Pride month we’ll have to celebrate at home. In a world where some are trying to split the "T" from the "LGB," and where homophobic legislation is back on the book across the U.S., Pride's messages of solidarity and the need to speak out are more poignant than ever in 2022. It may lack the explicit sexuality of some other films on this list, but it makes up for it in sheer homoerotic intensity. While it lost in the Best Picture category to Coda at the Oscars this year, The Power of the Dog will have the lasting cultural legacy.
Paris is Burning's influences are everywhere in culture, to the extent that many forget where we first learned about voguing and "throwing shade." Change that by watching the movie this Pride Month. It tells the story of underground ball culture in the late '80s, and how its (mostly) Black and Latinx gay and trans participants try to survive in a racist and homophobic society. Not only a foundational LGBTQ+ film, but Paris is Burning is one of the best documentaries ever made. Without this story of two women falling in love in the rural Nevada of the 1950s, the history of lesbian cinema may have gone very differently. Desert Hearts (HBO Max)Ī genuine trailblazer, Desert Hearts was the first major film with a positive lesbian relationship at its core to get a wide release in America. Starring Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon as two women who become sexually tied together as they plot a theft, Bound is one of the most erotically-charged lesbian films of the 1990s. Bound (Paramount+)ĭirected by leading trans directors the Wachowskis, Bound was the first sign that these were auteurs to watch before they made The Matrix. With good queer relationship advice hard to find in this post-" Don't Say Gay" moment, there is a lot to empathize with in this story of a bisexual woman in Brooklyn left reeling after breaking up with her long-term girlfriend. The bisexual canon is a fairly small one, but Desiree Akhavan's 2014 indie hit was an instant addition.
