The audition may change who'll take the antagonist or minor roles, but I'll take the male lead, and you'll take the female lead. Who else is good enough to take the leads than us?
JEONGNYEON: THE STAR IS BORN (2024) dir. Jung Ji In
the upcoming drama adaptation of the webtoon Jeong Nyeon starring Kim Tae Ri will include sapphic romance involving the main character 👩❤️💋👩🏳️🌈
from the interview with the director Jeong Ji In ⬇️
Can we expect romance between the main characters like in the original work?
There is. There are parts that have been dramatized, and there may be differences in the level of acceptance depending on the viewer, but I directed it thinking it was a melodrama. At the time, male and female actors acting out romantic scenes were subject to crackdowns as it was said to be promiscuous, but skinship between women was said to be okay and was overlooked. (Laughs) So there were possible pictures. I heard that at that time, Women Gukgeuk was open to minorities. (cr taeri_yeosin on twitter)
synopsis: The story takes place in the 1950s after the Korean War came to an end. The protagonist Yoon Jeong Nyeon lives with her mother in Mokpo, far away from the bustling city life. She has no money or education but posesses an innate talent for pansori (Korean genre of musical storytelling). She leaves her town to visit Seoul and joins a traditional Korean musical theater called yeonsong gukgeuk. In yeoseong gukgeuk, an all-female ensemble of theatre actors would take on roles of both women and men to narrate passionate and intense stories of war and love.
The story contains themes of class struggle, gender expression, queer identities, cross-dressing, misogyny and more.

“If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.”
One of the most significant people in Emily Dickinson’s life was her sister Lavinia. Born two years after Emily, on February 28, 1833, the two were raised as if of an age. […] Different as they were, the sisters were extremely close. While Austin was often exasperated by his youngest sister, the poet called her bond with Lavinia “early, earnest, indissoluble.” Indeed, from young womanhood, Emily depended upon Vinnie’s physical presence when engaged in social activities […] As she neared age thirty, the reclusive poet admitted, “Vinnie has been all, so long, I feel the oddest fright at parting with her for an hour, lest a storm arise, and I go unsheltered.” […] Vinnie’s pride in her brilliant sister was as strong as her devotion to protecting her. […] When Emily died in May 1886, Vinnie burned her sister’s correspondence, as requested, but to her amazement discovered hundreds of poems about which Emily had given no instructions. Determined to share these with the world, Vinnie spent the next thirteen years successfully urging and cajoling others – Susan Dickinson, Mabel Loomis Todd, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, the publishers Roberts Brothers – to publish her sister’s poems and letters. Without what Emily called Vinnie’s “inciting voice,” we would know little or nothing of Dickinson’s great lyric poetry. - The Emily Dickinson Museum

someone please help me find that quote about how someone was overwhelmed with the weight of the world and their problems when they were physically alone, but that weight felt like nothing in the presence of a friend and good conversation
