Marissa and Ize in Blank: who played Sam and Mon?

In the 2024 series Blank, Ize portrayed Sam and Marissa portrayed Mon, a supporting couple alongside the central Nueng–Anueng story. These are their versions of the characters familiar from GAP; Freen Sarocha and Becky Armstrong played Sam and Mon in that earlier adaptation.

For readers tracing the cast, Blank’s credit listing identifies Marissa as Mon and Papichaya Pattaralikitsakul as Sam. Ize also uses the name Izelands; you will encounter “Ice” and “Papitchaya” in English listings.

After NineStar: Ize’s studio chapter

Their departures from NineStar were announced in August 2024. According to the company’s announcement, Ize stepped down as chief operating officer, while Marissa’s contract ended by mutual agreement. The announcement did not elaborate on their reasons for leaving.

Ize’s subsequent career has combined acting with building Heart Pop Studio. She appears as Min in Player, identified in the studio’s own supporting-cast announcement. Heart Pop’s Player also stars Ice Amena, Memi Muanfun, Grace Harper and Ningning Marika—so it helps to keep Ize Papichaya and Ice Amena distinct when browsing the studio’s work.

By February 2026, coverage of Heart Pop’s Miniheart launch named Ize as the executive leading a slate of short vertical dramas, including Falling for My Hater. Marissa and Ize’s reunion sits inside that wider production effort.

That is the part of this career story worth paying attention to: Ize is helping build the company behind the work as well as appearing on screen. For a pairing moving from supporting roles into a shared leading project, the route from one credit to the next is part of the story.

Falling for My Hater: their leading GL series

Released in May 2026, Falling for My Hater (พักหัวใจที่ยัยแอนตี้แฟน) puts the pair inside a celebrity-versus-anti-fan romance. Marissa plays a star whose career has been damaged by scandal; Ize plays the sharp-tongued guesthouse owner she encounters while hiding away. Their first problem is that the owner has very little patience for celebrities.

It is a vertical microdrama with 50 episodes, designed for short viewing sessions. You can find the complete series through the official iQIYI listing; local access and subscription requirements vary.

Why Falling for My Hater made us want more IzeZa

Marissa and Ize look comfortable with one another, and that ease is the strongest argument for watching them lead Falling for My Hater. Both give good performances; together, they make us want to see the partnership carry a longer story.

On screen, this feels like a modest production making its resources go a long way. Heart Pop delivers an engaging showcase with a compact cast, and the actresses give it a clear centre. It leaves us curious about what the same pairing and team could achieve as leads with a bigger budget and more room to develop a series.

There was a reception milestone around its release, too: the series’ official account celebrated a No. 1 position on iQIYI Global Shorts in May 2026, posting a screenshot of the chart. 

Girlglam and the YouTube videos you can watch now

Marissa asked fans to help name their joint channel on August 28, 2024. The options were double girlies, Girlglam and Girl glimpse. On September 8, 2024, Ize announced that their channel had opened and linked fans to Girlglam.

So Girlglam belongs to their 2024 story. The newer videos to put on your watchlist are on Heart Pop Studio’s YouTube channel. When checked for this feature, the linked Girlglam channel displayed no publicly available uploads; the studio channel carried the videos below.

Together: IzeZa at Beat Active

Uploaded September 19, 2026, this joint activity vlog takes Ize and Marissa to Beat Active. It is the simplest starting point if you came for the pair together: physical challenges and games instead of a scripted romance. English captions are listed.

Marissa: a day at Khlong Bang Luang

In One Day Date Vlog with Marissa, uploaded August 29, 2026, she takes viewers to Khlong Bang Luang. Choose this one for a solo introduction to Marissa beyond her acting roles. English captions are listed.

Ize: a play date at Meland

Ize’s One Day Date Vlog with Izelands followed on September 5, 2026, with an outing to Meland. Pair it with Marissa’s episode if you want to meet each performer individually before the joint Beat Active video. English captions are listed.

IzeZa’s 2026 events: Fukuoka and Mexico

May: Amazing Thailand Fest in Fukuoka

Their international appearances included Amazing Thailand Fest 2026 @Fukuoka, held on May 30–31, 2026 at Tenjin Chuo Park’s Kihinkan area. The Tourism Authority of Thailand’s event report lists Marissa and Ice among the entertainers; Heart Pop’s May 30 IzeZa photographs identify the pair’s Fukuoka visit.

August: Heart Pop’s first meeting in Mexico

Their international work included Heartpop: The First Meeting in Mexico at Aula Magna José Vasconcelos, CENART, Mexico City, on August 29, 2026. The official event listing records the date; Heart Pop’s artist announcement names Izelands, Marissa and Ice Amena.

Their trip also featured Thai Festival Mexico 2026. TrueID’s event report covered Ize and Marissa’s participation and fan activities. The festival appearance and the named Heart Pop meeting give fans two pieces of the trip’s context; the August 29 date above belongs specifically to the meeting listing.

For followers outside Thailand, these appearances give the screen partnership another setting: a chance to meet the performers whose work has travelled across languages. The studio’s official account remains the place to check future event announcements and any schedule changes.

Upcoming projects and the Taipei event update

October 31 Taipei meeting: cancelled

If you have seen the Halloween posters, there is an important update. Heartpop World Tour Taipei: Queens of Hearts was advertised for October 31, 2026 at CODESPACE, with IzeZa and Ice Amena. Heart Pop published a cancellation notice on October 19.

The older KKTIX event page still contains the original programme, but the KKTIX event-change notices also list it as cancelled. Anyone checking the date should follow the cancellation update and the organiser’s guidance.

A new IzeZa series?

As of October 24, 2026, our check did not locate an official announcement naming a subsequent joint scripted series or a second season of Falling for My Hater. Their already released drama and the Heart Pop vlogs above are available places to start while we wait for their next announced project.
