My Girlfriend Is the Man!

The Thai series 3 Will Be Free is the ultimate love triangle with a trio involved in openly gay and bisexual relationships. The cast go on an epic, action packed journey with many unexpected twists that keep you guessing. My Girlfriend Is the Man! is also a love triangle between a male character and character that is sometimes male and sometimes female. It plays lightly with BL, GL reconfigurations as the Female lead switches back and forth into a Male lead, variously crushing on her male and female friends. While not as high paced as 3 Will Be Free, the plot similarly keeps you guessing.

Both Dramas feature a FL that fluctuates between male & female genders. Also, the ML has to address the question of whether he can have a romantic relationship with such a person.

Both have tropes where someone turns into the opposite gender. For MGIAHG, the girl turns into a boy buy for Kojinsa Arimasu, the boy turns into a girl.

Both series leverage gender transformation as a device to explore love, identity, and personal growth. Though My Girlfriend Is the Man! accents comedic romance in a modern college setting, and God’s Favor draws more on youthful fantasy and exploring Shinto folklore, they share a thematic heart: what if the person you love looked completely different—would your love still hold?

Fantasy romance about a familial curse that causes the FLs to be unrecognizable after magical transformations. MLs help to overcome the curse. While one FL turns into a cute dog, the other one turns into a cute man (gender-bender genre).

Se você gostou de My Girlfriend Is a Real Man, Velha é a Vovozinha é uma ótima recomendação. Os dois têm em comum essa ideia divertida e caótica de “troca de corpos”, cheia de situações engraçadas, mas cada um explora isso de um jeito único.

Em My Girlfriend Is a Real Man, uma mulher acaba no corpo de um homem, enquanto em Velha é a Vovozinha, uma idosa volta a ser jovem de repente. Ambos misturam comédia, emoção, romance e um toque de reflexão sobre identidade, envelhecimento e autoaceitação. São histórias leves, mas com mensagens bonitas, que mostram que às vezes é preciso se ver de outro jeito pra entender quem a gente realmente é.
