K-pop singer, Amazing Thailand Ambassador, and now full-fledged actress, Lisa really does appear unstoppable as she steps into the leading role in a Netflix romantic comedy inspired by the beloved classic Notting Hill.

Lalisa “Lisa” Manobal shows no signs of slowing down, as she is poised to flaunt her acting range in the upcoming ‘Notting Hill’-inspired rom-com feature on Netflix, at last taking centre stage as a leading lady.

With Katie Silberman of Booksmart and Set It Up behind the script, which is still in the works, one can definitely expect her witty signature all over it. How closely it sticks to the original, though, is still anyone’s guess.

One of the most beloved rom-coms of all time, Notting Hill, the one directed by Richard Curtis, tells the story of an English bookstore owner (Hugh Grant) who falls head over heels for an American superstar (Julia Roberts).

“I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her,” is still constantly quoted to this day as a pick-up line, resonating with audiences across generations.

Despite everything on her plate, Lisa’s still making time for BLACKPINK’s comeback with Deadline, set to release on 27 February. The upcoming mini-album’s track list was revealed on Friday via the group’s Instagram.
