Upcoming “Girls’ Love” Dramas/Movies

Gone are the days when Girls’ Love dramas were low on viewership and ratings. The unprecedented success of Thai GL “Gap The Series” has heralded a new era where GL content is on the verge of evolving. The main leads Freen Sarocha & Rebecca Armstrong became household names and they are still trending. “Show Me Love” starring beauty queens Engfa Waraha & Charlotte Austin was another lucid attempt to diversify the popularity of this genre. Currently on-air Thai GL’s “Love Senior” and “Lucky My Love” are fervently trying to capitalize on this notion; whether they win or lose, only time will tell. In the meantime, let’s sit down and talk about the upcoming dramas/movies that will definitely grab your attention!

FreenBecky’s Upcoming Projects

One of the most popular couple in the Thai GL industry, Rebecca Armstrong & Freen Sarocha created history with their adaptation “Gap The Series”. Their popularity soared to great heights and they turned this barely visible genre into a marketable commodity. With success comes pitfalls and as such, Freen Sarocha was recently caught in a huge controversy where her relationship with co-star Seng Wichai (Secret Crush on You) was made public by nefarious paparazzi. Despite all that unwarranted hoopla, FreenBecky are still going strong as an onscreen couple and they have not one, but two upcoming projects in the pipeline!

Uranus 2324

A film by Velcurve Studio, “Uranus 2324” is an upcoming Thai Sci-fi GL starring FreenBecky in the lead roles, Linlada Sasinpimon & Kath. Directed by James Thanadol, the movie is set to premiere next year. The storyline follows Kath, who returns to Thailand from New York. While visiting her old home, she is forced to relive her painful memories with long lost lover, Lin. Linlada Sasinpimon was a Thai astronaut stationed at the Uratis space station who reportedly lost contact with NASA. As Kath is assaulted with their past memories, she remembers the promise that Lin made-

“No matter how far you are, I will always find you.”

The trailer has already reached the million view mark; here’s hoping that Velcurve Studio makes sure that the movie is available to international fans through viable streaming portals online!

The Loyal Pin

After playing off their perfect chemistry in an office romance and daring to star in sci-fi GL as well, FreenBecky will star in a period drama next. Adapted from the novel “Pin Phak” (ปิ่นภักดิ์) by Mon Maew (ม่อนแมว), the show stars FreenBecky in the lead roles of Lady Pin & Princess Anilaphat. The social media account has been serving looks that correspond to the republican era, with both Freen & Becky looking resplendent in gorgeous gowns and subtle attire which signify the social standing of their characters.

Synopsis-

‘The Loyal Pin’ revolves around the story of the prim and proper Lady Pin and the naughty but charmingly lovely Princess Anilaphat. The two are brought together by fate and have since grown up together. Will they grow feelings for each other, too?

The anime stars Hana Shimano and Asami Seto in the lead roles of Himari Kino and Yori Asanagi.

Confused and surprised, Yori asks her friends for consultation, but they tease her by saying that she is experiencing love. Yori soon makes up her mind and tries to return Himari’s feelings, but in a twist of events, she realizes that what Himari loved was not her, but her music!

As Yori continues to pursue her love for Himari, she promises to make Himari fall for her. However, will this passionate love bloom or remain unrequited?
