Yeah! I don’t think there was a drama that took place post war Korea?

Plus KTR in men’s clothes & short hair✨💖🥰

KTR is really good at voice modulation & changing her voice tone-range to fit a certain role. She mentioned before that she always wanted to be a voice actor & this role will be so perfect for her since JN (FL) in the Webtoon plays male roles in theatre play. ✨

Me too ✨

Yes I DO. I want her as the FL please take it KTR! ✨💖😆😭

It’s set in postwar Korea. 1956. It’s a female centric story.

Very excited. Lots of period-1950’s attire.

Add Lee Honey! Lee Honey has such an amazing voice. And Kim Seo Hyung. She so handsome ✨☺️😆

The theatre director is a women. The theatre troupe leaders are women too. Funded and run by them. And the famous and popular theater actor is a women (who is known for playing the main ML roles in the play)✨😆☺️.

It’s really is a female centric story.

If they follow the Webtoon. It’s really an all female cast that is the core focus. And the female characters talk to eachother. And build relationships with each other!✨💖

Yep! And women in traditional male attire too! We’ll be seeing lots of female characters in various hanboks made for women & men.

You’re welcome.

Yep! And the female characters in the story play both female & male roles as theatre actors ✨💖☺️

They better keep all the various themes and aspect of the Webtoon. You can’t make a drama based on a story about women, gender nonconformity & queerness and erase that. 😒 I trust the screenwriters to do so.

I hope it’s a women screenwriter & women director!

If they follow the Webtoon that means KTR will cut her hair super short omg ✨💖💖💖💖💖💖🥰

I saw that too 😆. I was trying not to see spoilers because I started reading it but it was unavoidable on Twitter lol.

They post the drama here now!

They better show because if they don’t 🔪🔪🔪😒

It will be filmed in the second half of 2023 when final cast has been decided. Most likely airing in early 2024 ✨🥹💖

I little tidbit about the Webtoon Jeong Nyeon, the writer herself used KTR character Soohkie as a model/inspiration for the FL in the Webtoon. ✨

I remember seeing this Webtoon & thought of KTR (same for The Whale Star). I’m also currently reading it & it’s great. The FL literally has KTR vibes 😆.

Here are some historical context and overview of the Webtoon.
