K-netizens react to Hyeri being cast as the lead in a 19+ adult GL (Girl Love) mystery thriller drama

AKP STAFF

On February 6, it was reported that Hyeri is returning with a brand-new drama series.

According to reports, Hyeri has confirmed her appearance in the new series 'Friendly Competition.' 'Friendly Competition' is a drama based on a popular webtoon of the same name and follows the story of Seulgi, who transfers to an elite girls' high school in Seoul following her father's sudden demise.

In particular, Hyeri is garnering much attention as 'Friendly Competition' is reportedly a 19+ adult GL (Girl Love) mystery psychological thriller.

Hyeri takes on the role of Yoo Jae Yee, a character endowed with a high IQ and exceptional talents, despite not fitting conventional beauty standards. In contrast to Woo Seul Gi, who was subjected to bullying, Yoo Jae Yee is the envy of everyone around her, and the series portrays the intriguing journey of these two characters gradually falling for each other, laden with doubt and mutual vigilance, as they share similar pains. The drama is anticipated to be rated for mature audiences due to its portrayal of teenagers grappling with various addictions. The narrative delves into mature themes such as substance abuse, self-harm, and masturbation, with a somewhat intense degree of explicitness.

Korean netizens commented, "Wow, I'm looking forward to this," "Woah, I can't believe they cast such a big-name actress for a GL drama. I'm looking forward to this," "This is so crazy," "I enjoyed the webtoon. I wonder how the drama would be made," "I can't believe Hyeri's been cast in a GL drama," "Wow, Hyeri doing GL, I'm already liking the drama," "Oh my oh my," "The webtoon was really fun," and "This is so crazy and I'm so excited."

This sounds like a good concept. And I love Hyeri. I hope it's been given a decent budget so they can execute it well.
