10 titles with a psychologically abusive husband and a housewife wife whose efforts are taken for granted

She leaves, he suffers and wants to get her back

Optionally becomes a better husband in the process

1. SKY Castle - subplot about twins' parents

Ouch I mostly remember cheating husbands who gaslighted their marriage partners... Such husband usually playing around.

2. Tenno no Ryoriban He keep looking at his younger sister-in-law while on wedding party, he leaves work at his father in-law's paper shop to learn cooking, while being angry he says he never want this marriage, then he runaway from home to work in the capital, he never consider his wife's feeling and thought. Then they divorce but after they meet again, they re-marry.

3. New Life Begins - Crown Prince Song is abusive in every way, mentally, physically, psychologically and financially. He does not get better, and she leaves, along with his legal wife.

4. Flourished Peony - not the main couple again but the supporting character couple, man is physically abusive to his wife Sheng Yi, manipulates her, gaslights her, plays on her emotions and insecurities and also imprisons the FL, she flees and helps the wife to escape as well, eventually wife goes back to husband after he begs her and exerts pressure on their business.

5. Goodbye My Princess

ML tries to protect FL from his stepmother bad intention so he pretend like he dislike FL but after he gets the power he tries to win back FL but FL already regain her memory of ML killing his grandfather so she's ready to leave. And yeah, he rapes her too after he knows she wants to leave.

Bonus: (because FL never intended to leave ML)

My Sunshine

ML has unconditional love for FL but his father died because of FL's father so back then as high-schooler he gets angry and FL assuming he don't want her anymore. After meeting again ML forces FL to marry her, being angry at her, criticize her, gaslighting her. And he kinda half-forced himself on her.

Sorry, I try and avoid dramas like that. I read a comment on a drama where the long-term boyfriend of the FL might have been like that, prob the reason though I really like the actor for the ML, I haven't finished it. Since it doesn't quite fit I shall post it here as a bonus.

BONUS: One Spring Night

Every third short drama (the vertically filmed ones) feels like it’s based on this kind of plot line ^^;

anyway, 24h passed, someone else can pick a new topic

10 movies/dramas where you the thought the ending was totally unsatisfactory. Up to interpretation, it can be anything, but weave us a tale

1. When the phone rings. 


A lot of people thinks the same.

They should have just stuck with the source material lol

2. Reborn Rich- I thought it was great overall but the ending was more than a bit of a let down. Reducing everything to a dream  just ruined it for me and on top of that made no sense. 

3. The Rise of the Phoenixes- There was no need for FL to die. It did not happen in the books so why traumatize us in the drama lol.  Still an amazing drama but just that ending was....
