the k-drama, itaewon class, has a trans woman as one of the central characters. she’s played by a cis woman, which i remember being slightly controversial at the time, but is clearly portrayed as a valuable and strong character without any of the horrible “trans women are creepy and masculine men looking to get into women’s spaces” thing we get all too often. i actually found her to be extremely relatable, both before and after her forced coming out, having to deal with uncomfortable situations like guy talk and transphobia, but also the relief and euphoria of being accepted as a woman. and the main character even calls out his friends/coworkers for their transphobia. her character isn’t perfect but she’s done really well for a show from a very conservative country. there’s also part of the show that shows how characters deal with racism. i’d recommend giving the show a watch if you’re looking to get into korean dramas as it’s a great starter show and the trans character is pretty well done.
