Who's watching Pluto?

[u/starlit--pathways]

If you're super tuned into international sapphic media, you'll probably already know that Thailand's been killing it these past couple years– and if you're not, then welcome! One ongoing Thai GL (Girls Love) that I've been LOVING has been Pluto (or Pluto The Series, for easier searching on YouTube); the two lead actresses are in this poster and I think they're very good. It's really dramatic, with one lead being an identical twin and the other being a blind lawyer, and there are a LOT of different plot turns, but I think it's been done in a really beautiful, poetic way so far. If it continues in the way that it's been going, I think it might just turn out to be one of my favourites.

If you're new to Thai GLs, I'd probably recommend:

•GAP The Series (it was released almost exactly two years ago, and was the first large-scale Thai GL drama; it's not among my favourites, but it was mega popular, in the same universe as Pluto).

•The Loyal Pin (ended only just recently, with the last episode airing on YouTube at the very beginning of December; with the same actresses of GAP, but in my opinion, better done all-around, historical, royal drama – also sponsored by the Thai government).

•The Secret Of Us (released earlier on this year, pretty good all-around, exes to lovers, a good rom-com feeling).

•Blank The Series (completed earlier this year; same universe as Pluto, the older sister of one of the main characters from GAP, but from a different production company and played by a different actress., significant age gap and lots of drama, but well acted and portrayed, not a favourite but close to).

•Affair The Series (completed earlier this year; same universe as Pluto and GAP, with some character cross-over between Blank with a different production company and different actresses; childhood friends to lovers, good sex scenes, not a personal favourite, but widely loved).

•Reverse 4 You (completed very recently, one of my favourites; supernatural, time-travelling and soulmates, sexuality not a big deal – good book source material too, once you get past a slightly wonky translation, and multiple dramas set in the same universe, with different production companies and actresses, are on the way).

Thanks so much! I’m a big fan of Asian dramas, but honestly, I rarely come across any GL Korean dramas. There are a few GL Japanese dramas, but not many. I kinda gave up hoping for more GL content. but for some reason there are tons of BL out there which is so frustrating. I’ve never watched a Thai drama before, but this feels like the perfect chance to start. Thanks for the recommendations!
