Gap The Series Analysis
GL is an abbreviation for Girl’s Love, which refers to romantic relationships between women. When a webtoon includes ‘GL’ as one of its genres, it typically focuses on a heartwarming story of two girls falling in love.
In the world of drama and TV shows, there emerged a trend where programs focused on girl’s love storylines were commonly known as GL dramas or series.
“Gap the Series” is based on the novel “Gap” by Chao Planoy. The series has achieved an impressive milestone of over 600 million views on YouTube. It is a groundbreaking television show in Thailand, capturing the hearts of viewers and becoming a huge hit.
I believe the main reason behind the success of this series is the exceptional performances of the two lead actresses, Freen Sarocha and Becky Armstrong.
They have an undeniable chemistry and they truly complement each other. It’s fascinating to observe how these two rookie actresses step out of their comfort zones and truly embody their characters. They really know how to captivate their audience.
Thanks to the drama’s immense popularity, a wide range of manga, novels, and fanfiction have gained significant traction online.
You can find a lot of gorgeous Gap The Series Fanfiction on the Internet, and some of them are really good.
In November 2022, the director of Gap frequently expressed on social media that the cast and crew are receptive to the possibility of Season 2 of Gap the series. If the show proves to be a hit, they have a chance of securing a second season.
