Since I’m unfamiliar with any half Vietnamese actors, I’d be happy as long as Michael was played by any flavor of Asian man. It wouldn’t hurt if he were gorgeous like these men.
I think the majority of readers automatically envision DH as Michael since I made the comparison in the book, and I wouldn’t be sad if he played his own lookalike in a possible adaptation.
Have you seen Kim’s Convenience yet? This show is hilarious and addicting. Simu’s facial expression when his boss flirts with him is A+.
*heart eyes emojis for days*
Michael doesn’t have a beard, but maybe he should?

This didn’t occur to me when I was writing the book, but apparently, Stella’s ethnicity is open to interpretation. I see this as an opportunity. Her role is a bit unconventional, and I think it would take a talented actress to bring her to life.
I always envision Stella looking like XinYi from the Taiwanese version of Fated to Love You, one of my favorite TV series ever.
She’s beautiful and nails all the roles she plays. Why not Stella?
Her character in the Netflix movie Set It Up was adorable, and I can see her as Stella.
I think Victoria could rock a pair of sexy librarian glasses.
I really think Lewis Tan is perfect for Quan’s role, even though Quan keeps his hair buzzed, and I already suggested Lewis for Michael’s role. Really, I wouldn’t mind if he played all the roles. He’s the complete package, you guys. And he responds to me on social media sometimes.
Now, for more fun. Frolic asked me a couple of questions about my vision of the future project.
None of them! I like to leave the acting to the pros, which I am not. Furthermore, I don’t derive any pleasure from seeing myself in video form.
I’d love to see the scene where Stella lays out her checklists / lesson plans for Michael to see. That was an extremely fun scene to write.
I think the first dinner at Michael’s mom’s house would be challenging to film well. It was certainly difficult to write. I’d want to illustrate how hard Stella tries to fit in and make a good impression while she simultaneously fails spectacularly at it.
