Five reasons why you should watch The Loyal Pin if you enjoy sapphic content:
A complete story: In the last couple of years countless US shows with sapphic couples have been canceled and most of them have been in the middle of the story with no conclusion. This show will give you a complete story with a beginning, middle, and an end you don’t have to worry about cancellation because the whole story is contained within 16 episodes. And if you end up enjoying the genre there are more shows to enjoy!
Sapphic romance to the max: One thing that I hate in US media is the death of the rom com and romance stories in general. Because these genres cater to women they are seen as lesser. The shows/movies that do get made are typically 95% to 100% straight. So my recommendation is that while we wait for the sapphic season of Bridgerton we enjoy a period romance that is entirely focused on two girls. Do you get annoyed by sub plots with straight characters? That’s okay because there are literally none in this show.
It’s free! In the time of 10 million subscriptions you can watch this on YouTube for free.
Quality sex scenes with more to come: An episode of this show opened with a 7 minute sex scene - if anything it was too long! Which is probably the best complaint to have. The intimate scenes are tasteful and clearly were made with the intent of the female gaze. Both actresses are comfortable with each other and have great chemistry. Over the course of the show it would be my guess that there will be 5 or 6 sex scenes if not more, and while the scenes are fun and hot there is no nudity (which can be a pro or con depending on who you are). Of course everyone has a different opinion on what they consider to be a good lesbian sex scene and quantity is not always quality, but aren’t you at least a little curious to check it out yourself?
Representation: It’s so refreshing to watch media that is not produced in the west. I think it’s so worth it to give international media a chance. Some things will be different, tropes that we typically rely on may not be the same and the production methods may be different. But that is part of the fun! Also I think we all know that we can use more queer content that does not center white people.
If you’re tired of your shows getting canceled by US production companies and just want to watch some sapphic romance, try it out! Almost half the episodes are out now for your binging pleasure!

*stands on a box in town square*
I think Pin's adopted mom/aunt/whatever is a lesbian.
First rule of a QL (BL or GL) is everyone is queer until proven otherwise.
Second, she isn't married and for someone who keeps emphasizing the point that Anin and Pin will have to get married, why isn't she married?
Third, she is doing too much. She is the epitome of normalized femininity. She is pink. She is attractive. She can cook. She can clean. She can do it all . . . in heels. Is she overcompensating?
Fourth, THE COLORS!
She is a dark-ish pink, almost red, yet she has worn this peach/orange color a few times.
And I would think she's bi-colored but . . .
I think there is something else going on here.
Not only does she wear that color, but when she has business outside of the house, she gets darker.
What's the reason that she feels safe in her home, but changes her color when she has to leave it?
And, at first, I thought it was because she was in love with Anin's mom.
Because it would make sense that she wears Princess Alisa's color at times and feels most comfortable at home.
And it would make sense that she would stick right by Alisa's side.
But I'm not convinced, and it's because of the broach!
She has worn it several times, and even though Alisa has one, it's different.
And they change.
But in a show that has Pin and Anin sharing matching hair pins and gifting each other sentimental jewelry, I feel Pat's broach being consistent has to be significant.
So whichever woman Pat loves is orange/yellow colored and should have a similar broach or theme of sun or flowers, plus her poster has her in that peach color and states that she has secrets.
So which woman broke this wee little lesbian's heart?
