Hello! I'm looking for dramas/films where a male character is played by a female actress. I'm not looking for crossdressing (like Coffee Prince), where a female simply dresses up as a man but for productions where male character JUST HAPPENS  to be played by female character. It could be deliberate or as a result of gender-blind casting; lead characters preferred but supporting roles are welcome too. 


List of what I gathered so far:

CJ7 (2008) - https://mydramalist.com/652-cj7
One of the main male leads was played by actress Xu Jiao.

Joy Of Life - the young emperor of Northern Qi is played by a woman (Liu Meitong). No idea why, and no one says anything to indicate that she is other than a man - or at least I saw nothing in the English translation.

She's actually a crossdressing woman in the novel

I don't know if you will consider child actor, but in Shinigami no Ballad  the young Yoshikawa Ai played a boy role.

In Taiheiki (1991 Taiga drama) Goto Kumiko played Kitabatake Akiie. Although it wasn't a main role.
