My Recommendations of Sapphic WLW Series/Films ♥

Blank is currently the best Thai series featuring lesbian couples. It's absolutely amazing! It's so far ahead that I'm worried for other sapphic series coming out. Reaching this level is gonna be tough!  

The second season surpasses the first season! The acting is flawless from all the actors, and the music is spot on. However, there are still some issues with overly loud sound design, english subtitles or editing but it doesn't hinder the experience! The love scenes are absolutely exceptional, as are the emotional ones. I have nothing to complain about. It's perfect! I'm going to miss this series immensely! <3

The actors deliver exceptionally strong performances, showcasing their talent and dedication to their roles.

The storyline is engaging, keeping viewers invested and eager for each new development.

The soundtrack is wonderfully crafted, enhancing the emotional impact of key moments throughout the series.

The episodes feel way too short, leaving audiences craving more of the captivating story and characters!!

"Faye" Supaporn Malisorn is incredibly beautiful and her character is very endearing. She portrays her role superbly, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative.

The love story is very captivating, drawing viewers into the intense and heartfelt connection between the characters.

There are no major production issues, the series is aesthetically pleasing and well-edited. However, some flashbacks feel cliché and uninteresting when they don't contribute to the plot. Additionally, certain instances of sound design may not appeal to all viewers, although this is subjective and influenced by cultural factors.

Despite these minor flaws, I've never rated a sapphic series this highly before. As someone who is extremely critical in my ratings, making it the first WLW series that I would recommend wholeheartedly. It's 100% worth it!

P.S: Blank the series is related to Gap the series.

The plot is surprising and incredible. The story deviates from the ordinary while maintaining a common intrigue. From the very first episode, I was moved to tears. The actresses are stunning and deliver exceptional performances. You quickly become attached to the characters. It's truly an excellent Thai series. I highly recommend it!

Park Chan-wook’s "The Handmaiden" is a mesmerizing blend of psychological thriller, erotic drama, and period piece. Set in 1930s Korea during Japanese occupation, the film tells the intricate story of Sook-hee, a pickpocket hired as a maid for Lady Hideko, a wealthy Japanese heiress. But what begins as a straightforward con spirals into a labyrinth of deception, seduction, and power struggles.

Visually, "The Handmaiden" is a feast. Park's meticulous direction turns every frame into a work of art, rich with symbolism and detail. The narrative, split into three parts, brilliantly shifts perspectives, keeping the audience on edge as the layers of deceit are peeled away. Kim Min-hee and Kim Tae-ri deliver stunning performances, their chemistry both tender and electric, making the evolving relationship between their characters utterly captivating.

The film's exploration of sexuality is bold and unflinching, challenging conventional portrayals with an honesty that is both provocative and empowering. Themes of control, freedom, and identity are woven seamlessly into the story, with every twist revealing new depths.

In essence, "The Handmaiden" is a masterclass in storytelling and cinematic beauty. It's a film that seduces you with its elegance and then grips you with its emotional intensity. Park Chan-wook has crafted a modern classic that is as thrilling as it is haunting.

I watched GAP between February and March 2023, marking my introduction to Thai sapphic series. The standout feature for me was the compelling storyline. Freen Sarocha's performance was notably strong, exhibiting commendable acting prowess. However, I found the remainder of the cast to be somewhat average in comparison. The production, particularly in terms of audio and visuals, fell short of expectations, with repetitive music and occasional unremarkable shots. While the narrative held promise, it didn't quite engross me as anticipated.

Nonetheless, the chemistry between the lead actresses was undeniable, elevating the romantic aspects of the series to excellence. Despite its flaws, I did enjoy the series. Yet, the production shortcomings left me contemplating a higher rating.

I recommend GAP for its engaging romance, charming characters, and largely cohesive storyline. Although it didn't fully captivate me, it's certainly not lacking in merits.

P.S: GAP the series is related to Blank the series.

The plot is fun. The acting isn't bad. I really like the supporting characters. Even though the production and acting aren't outstanding, I got attached to this series and its characters. I found it very cute and fun to watch.

The series showcases excellent acting, which is undoubtedly one of its strongest points. However, the story didn’t particularly grab my attention and I found it difficult to connect with the characters. The romantic scenes are scarce,and when they do appear  they feel somewhat toxic. The drama, while central to the plot, seems a bit overdone, which kept me from being truly moved. A well-acted series but it lacks the subtlety in its writing to fully win me over.

Main Roles:

This mini-series stars Charlotte Austin, an artist I particularly admire. I believe she has made tremendous progress as an actress over the past year. She was seen in "Show Me Love" alongside her co-actress Engfa Waraha, who is also in this series. They are a very popular shipped couple in Thailand and many other countries since their competition in Miss Grand Thailand.

Upcoming Projects:

We will also see them in the upcoming series "Petrichor," which has a lot of potential in terms of production! Engfa Waraha recently starred in the TV series "Bangkok Khanika," where she was highly praised and Charlotte Austin also played in "Mon Rak Luk Thung" in 2024.

Acting:

In "Club Friday Season 16: Hot Love Issue," you can indeed see that both of them have made significant progress as actresses, and this is just the beginning. The acting of all the actors is very good.

Plot:

The storyline is captivating and interesting.

Music:

The music is very beautiful during the romantic scenes; however, the choice of music in other parts leaves me a bit perplexed. I would say it's average overall.

Production and Direction:

The production and direction are good. I am incredibly happy to see Charlotte Austin and Engfa Waraha together in a series and also to see them becoming more mature with each of their films and series. This is very promising for the future.

Sapphic Themes and LGBT Acceptance:

The series is a good sapphic series; the theme on transsexuality and LGBT acceptance is very well handled. I like it a lot overall.

Length and Cultural Elements:

It's a bit short, and sometimes I struggle with the slow-motion scenes or certain artistic choices due to cultural differences. Overall, it's good!
