After a peaceful weekend, we saw a sudden influx of announcements and fresh updates. Even though the Pride Month is over, the BL/GL world is keeping the spirit alive. In the midst of the sudden downpour, let’s sit for a tell-a-tale.

“AM I OK?” Movie Review
“Am I OK?” is a late “coming of age” story about friendship and self-discovery and tackles the agonies of coming to terms with yourself at a later age. Lucy (Dakota Johnson) is a 32-year-old woman who has an unfulfilling work and personal life, and relies on her best friend Jane (Sonoya Mizuno) who provides some structure in her life, despite her being controlling. “Am I Ok?” tackles the reality of a lot of gay people, who only come to terms with their sexuality once they are older, and it seems like they cannot do much about it because they have run out of time. Despite being 32, Lucy had never fully considered that she was in fact gay and was dejected and at peace with having mediocre relationships with men despite not fully enjoying the experience.

Another huge slump and fewer updates as we come to the end of the Pride Month. As GMMTV gears up for another OffGun release, we can look forward to some early surprises.
Best Chinese Bromances That Aired in 2023/2024
If you are particularly invested in Chinese Bromances, which are obviously a rustic method of portraying same sex relationships under the guise of brotherhood or blossom friendships, then today’s listing will help you satiate your cravings. 2023/2024 had some big releases springing surprise on audiences who weren’t expecting such seasoned (unhindered) romances.

Midweek Updates
Unassumingly, the weekend didn’t bring much news about upcoming shows. As the Pride Month comes to a joyful end, the momentum seems to be down. That doesn’t mean, we are slacking at our job; neither are the social media outlets who are campaigning their new shows gearing up for release. All in all, this was an eventful month!

Alluring Yet Enterprising: Stepping into the World of Author Chanele Ramos
Dreams are pretty fickle unless they are recognized as a fervent reality. In the past, I have interviewed quite a few US-based MM Romance authors who were fascinated with the BL culture, either because they drew inspiration from them or they were dormant fans of the said genre. In the midst of them, we have one novelist who not only dared to publish a BL novel while being based abroad but has also realized the dream of adapting her original work.
A gripping tale set in Bangkok’s nightlife, featuring an unprecedented partnership between two sworn rivals, Chanele Ramos’ “Allure of the Siren” captures human connection, resilience, and the ceaseless pursuit of truth. We sat down for a tell-a-tale with the busy writer who is currently filming the adaptation in Thailand.
