Who Is Sofia López?
According to her IMDb, López began her career in film with a couple of shorts, including “Alone,” “Fleur,” and “Famous.” She was also in several music videos, and she played a small role in the Argentine film “Doble Discurso” and the TV movie “A Deadly Threat to My Family.”
But a big chunk of her credits, especially since 2024, have been vertical dramas. Because of this, she was interviewed by Vertical Drama Love on April 2, 2025.
López revealed a few facts about herself during this conversation, like how she was raised in Mexico but moved to Los Angeles three years ago. She also talked about her dream of becoming a professional soccer star when she was younger. But one of her current goals is to be in a musical.
López also loves eating Takis and listening to Sabrina Carpenter. When asked what she did in this particular industry, López responded that she’s an actress, but she might want to expand her horizons.
“I also love taking BTS pictures and it’s something I would like to start doing more of as a job,” she explained.
During the conversation, she also revealed that she began doing vertical dramas because her roommate, Anna Kim, was a producer in desperate need of a leading lady in 2023. She thought that would be her only project in this industry, but plans changed.
Regarding her favorite drama so far, López revealed that she has enjoyed all her experiences because of the people she has worked with. But she picked “Arresting My Mafia Ex” as one of her best because she “got to play a woman who doesn’t need to be saved by a man, and we love a powerful woman.”
Vertical Drama Love also asked about the craziest thing she had done while filming micro-dramas. “The moment I had to slap Jackson Tiller with a tamale on ‘Small Town Girl Finds Her Mr. Big Time,'” she answered. “I really couldn’t take it seriously haha. I think it’s probably the most random thing I’ve had to do.”
There have been other funny moments, although she doesn’t remember them all. But López loves that her co-stars so far have been “goofy” and they can have lighthearted moments during their productions.

On a more serious note, the actress wishes that more people understood the amount of time and energy that goes into making vertical dramas. “Also, we are all laughing with you about how ridiculous some storylines can be… haha,” she added.
Additionally, López called for more diversity in the micro-drama industry because she has been told that she’s the first Latina during several projects. She would also love to have more Latin American people in the crews.
When asked what she was most proud of, López shared that it was the fact that she made her way to another country and that her job is to act, something that her young self would have loved.

Now that you know who López is, it’s time to discover her micro-dramas. One of them is “Rebel in Devil’s Shackle,” where she plays Nina Morgan, a rich girl who gets tangled up with a mafia lord called Max Luther. Anyone who loves dark romances or the Netflix film “365 Days” will get a kick out of this story.
