↳ 3. masterclass in acting (female) | best actor(s), favorite female character(s) of 2022: jeon mi do and kang han na
You did a post earlier about BL actors you would love to see together in a BL, but I would love to see actresses you would love to see do a GL together!
Ooooo, what a GREAT question.
Actresses I'd Love To See Do GL!
Jan Ployshompoo (SOTUS, Cupid’s Last Wish) + Mild Lapassalan (3 Will Be Free, Dark Blue Kiss)
Why? They are both super charismatic and likable, they could do a great take on a Bad Buddy style premise. Enemies to lovers kind of thing.
Gigie Chanunphat (2gether) + Jamie Juthapich (Baker Boys, Kiss Me Again)
These two are very different in terms of style and screen appeal, I could see them doing something cutthroat and edgy set in the fashion or tech industry.
Tanshi Bumrungkit (Together with Me) + Momo Pawarisa (La Cuisine)
What, it’s me? Of course I’m picking an age gap. And you know I want it to be older sister’s best friend trope. I’m thinking lots of pining and child hood crush etc... Ooo, could we push into teacher’s pet territory? Eh, too kinky, better leave that to Japan.
Fah Wisansaya (Love Area) + Pray Praeploy (Why R U?)
This is my hacker/programmer or gammer girl pick. I’m thinking a lesbian Falling Into You Smile. The older girl broke ground as the first female pro-gamer, the younger girl is the new upstart with stars in her eyes. It writes itself.
I would also like to see these already established pairs get full shows:
Bad Buddy
Seven Project
From Taiwan?
Aviis Zhong & Tannie Huang (DNA Says Love You)
Aviis has done a kinda GL before, but I wasn’t wild about it. These two are KILLER performers and it’s Taiwan, so make it high heat and hella messy, (so long as its HEA). How about Trapped the GL version? SCI Mysteries only lesbians? MoD the lady’s stop a murderer?
From Japan?
Noriko Iriyama & Matsui Airi
I love the idea of a tsundere older character and cheerful sunshine puppy pursuer. Something in the To My Star vein, only with Japan’s kinky touch? Let’s go with that.
From Korea?
Jeon Mi Do & Seo Hyun Jin
This should be a straight up (pun intended) office set Kdrama, all the tropes, just they v gay. That’s it, that’s all I want. They’re both mature, career women, established dating history, one of them can know she likes girls, the other one can find it out as they go along. Make it hurt so good. Lots of mess and pining. Stupid separation in the final ep. Classic Kdrama, it’s just they're lesbians, Korea.
“I guess Seongyeong worries more [for the patient] because they have the same hometown. I think I used to be like that, too.”
“You, Professor?”
“Yeah, I was like that, as well. If a patient who had the same name as me came in, I became more talkative for some reason... And even if we only had our age in common, I’d immediately feel a sense of kinship. So don’t be too hard on Seongyeong. Even those feelings will fade with time.”

So depending on how you watch the series and your type of genre, you’ll either love this one or hate it. I mistakenly at first started to binged the series episode to episode which was a mistake on my part. For me, this is not a bing’able series. It’s a great show don’t get me wrong, but I think the best way to watch it is a few episodes here and there sparingly. If you watch too much at once it starts to get into that draggy territory which overall it really isn’t draggy. It’s a episodic show with long episodes which tends to feel like it’s very very long sometimes if that makes sense whatsoever. The acting is phenomenal though and the music, oof, the music in this absolutely love. While this is more of a ‘slice of life’ drama with the episodic medical parts it has the bes friendship I’ve seen in almost any kdramas. Hands down .
