Welcome to the Lesbian Bar (2023)

sapphic slice of life

I often mourn the fact that lesbian series don't have the financial backing to make longer productions and that feeling just multiplied several folds after watching this drama.

Tucked away in some unknown corner of South Korea is a small bar which openly welcomes lesbians; it's proprietress, a lesbian herself, welcomes all with the iteration “welcome to the lesbian bar.”

In these five short episodes averaging six minutes we get a look into four stories of love stories in different stages. The lives of closeted lesbians intersect in surprising ways.

Apart from this we learn how the conservative society of Seoul has affected these women who are simply searching for a way to protect their love. The lesbian bar becomes a cosy nook for them. And despite everything, these women find happiness.

While these are admittedly not cohesive stories, and they left me wanting for more more m o r e,,, but it's a nice way to spend half an hour, especially if your motto is like mine: seeing happy lesbians makes me happy!

And a plus for the butch representation, like thank you!

Las paredes de este bar son espectadoras de corazones malheridos, romances que florecen y momentos decisivos para la vida de un grupo de mujeres.

Es un drama que logra algo interesante y ameno en poco tiempo. Tiene la misma energía de She Makes My Heart Flutter, pero con su propia autenticidad. Va presentando por separado personajes que resultan estar relacionados entre sí. Los epílogos con entrevistas ficticias le agregan un toque divertido.

Su mal es el de todos los kdramas GL: deja con ganas de más. Quisiera conocer mejor a todas las chicas y ver cómo continúan desarrollándose las amistades y relaciones románticas.
