I was crossing my fingers as I was watching it too. I was like pleasebegoodpleasebegoodpleasebegood! And it was! A take-charge FL, and no sudden bait and switch. Hope you like it!

General FL x Scholar ML
Immediately sold. Say less.
FL hates being married to ML, and gets betrayed by her own brother after taking his place in the army (Mulan, is that you???). She transmigrates back to before her wedding and vows to treat ML better, and get revenge on her brother and father.
DOUCHEBAG FL GETTING A DO-OVER AND TREATING HER MAN RIGHT- OMGGGGGGG!! ๐๐ฉ
FL's smart, keeps her cards close to her chest, kicks butt, and will whip/kill people if necessary.
We LOVE to see it! ๐คฉ๐
ML is a cute pookie scholar who's expecting to be treated badly because he's from a lower class, so imagine his surprise when his wife actually likes him.
FGUFGDUFGDFUGUDGFUG I'm getting cute aggression from those images ALREADY ๐๐ฅบ He looks so shy and bb~ Great collage btw ๐
Doe she marry into her family? ๐
And also says stuff like "Jiejie will teach you"โOOP. Yes, she will.
That's that good shit ๐ฅ
ML is super shy at first, but slowly gains confidence.
The Li Wu-ification ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ Imma be eating this up. I need more shy MLs that aren't aloof
For every vertical I finish, at least 3 get added to my PTW... I need to watch them faster...
and FL even needs to save him at the end when he gets kidnapped.
HE GETS KIDNAPPED???? And- and she SAVES HIM????!!!!! ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ plssss
ML is also really supportive of FL's strengths and talents, and I love that.
๐ It comes with the pookie territory
it's still a fun RR drama that's worth the watch.
Fair enough, that's what we're here for ๐

Isn't he adorable??? He's very bbgโesp in the beginning. And thanks <3

Unfortunately, FL has to marry into his family as part of her plan for revenge because of her horrible brother and father, but it's still cute.
That's that good shit ๐ฅ
I knowwwwww. Lines like that always get me.
The Li Wu-ification ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ I
ML very much reminds me of LW during certain scenes, from his personality to his face.

You and me both, chickadee. You and me both.
HE GETS KIDNAPPED???? And- and she SAVES HIM????!!!!! ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ plssss
YES! It's not a long scene, but still pretty satisfying. ๐ฉ๐ Pretty scholar is held with a sword against his neck like a precious damsel, and FL has to negotiate with the bad guy for his release before taking the bad guy down.
Us and our love of scholars lol.
Love to be a scholar, love to corrupt a scholar <3 Either way, scholars are based- They're the historical equivalent of a nerd and those are always such a cute love interest โค๏ธ (girl u gotta start helping me with adding the Role Reversal tag, you keep finding so many gems!!)
One of your faves!
YEEEESSSSS!!!!

I should've know since you didn't mention it, but I was secretly hoping you forgor xD

OH SO YUMMYYYY!!! My whump heart does wish it would be longer but oh well... I'LL TAKE IT ANYWAY!!! Esp because dramas love to shove the ML saves FL trope at the very end so that not happening but actually being reversed, even if brief, is PEAK

Gotta love the nerds <3
(girl u gotta start helping me with adding the Role Reversal tag, you keep finding so many gems!!)
How do you add tags? I don't even have the option to edit them because I don't have enough points XD

Yeah, even in RRs the ML usually gets the final save, but not in this one! FL is even wearing her armor when it happens, so she looks extra valiant. (Correction: ML had a knife pressed against his throat, not sword). And in the end they have a daughter, not a son (which I'm starting to notice doesn't happen as much in these verticals sigh), and their daughter wants to be brave like her mama ๐ฅน
How do you add tags? I don't even have the option to edit them because I don't have enough points XD
On the drama page:
"Edit this page" option next to the main title. Go down to "Genres" (NOT "Tags").
Once you're there you can search the "Gender Role Reversal" tag (and feel free to add any other relevant tags, esp RR-coded ones! If you want a list of the ones I usually think of, I can provide). All tags have a brief description so you should know what they are used for.
In the "Additional notes" section you need to provide either screenshots, gifs, links to gifs/screenshots/posts (I've linked to tumblr and it worked), or timestamps (with a link to where to watch) to get approved. They're fairly generous with this and mostly just want the evidence presented. Most get approved within the day.
My additional notes section looks something like this:
Gender Role Reversal, Protective FL: FL calls the shots and protects ML all the time (03:56 - 10:03)
https://youtube.com/this-IstHe_LinK
(Sometimes I'll just do timestamps, but if I feel like elaboration is needed then I do. Esp because I assume everyone I interact with doesn't know what RR is, lol. Never got the tag rejected)

Omg, the cherry on the top!!!! <3 Bet she looked so dashing- ๐ฉ

That's adooooorbleeeeeeee <3 Brave like her mama, we love to see it! In verticals it's probably true, but from what I had observed, RR couples tend to more commonly have daughters (or at least a daughter first), lolol.
Go down to "Genres" (NOT "Tags").
....Who designed this UI? ๐
Thank you, will start doing my part ๐

Yeah, I've seen the daughter/son mix in RR and egal stuff, but I think this is maybe the second time I've seen the main leads just have a daughter. I never noticed it until now. I was like wait...they only have a daughter....? But it was cool to see. I could be completely off though. I'm referencing a small sample size since I don't watch a ton of verticals with kids.

Don't question MDL and its quirks ๐

Greatly appreciated! ๐ Can't wait to see the tag explode with new titles ๐ฅ

It really is cool to see! We love that!

Got this one recommended by a lurker we have in the community (you know who you are), and it was probably one of the best verticals I ever watched (more on this at the end).
The story is about an engineer, FL, who is having a very bad, not good at all time, and ends up bringing a faulty pleasure android (yes, it's exactly what you think that means) home for company: ML.
FL is cool, kinda aloof, and strong-willed, she's a genius at her work and is going through it. Meanwhile ML is THE definition of a clingy needy puppy. He ends up becoming her pretty stay-at-home boyfriend bot who is helplessly devoted and clingy and ADORABLE. He gets pouty when she doesn't pay him attention, PLEASE ๐ฉ
Just look at how cutie patootie clingy and pouty he iiiiisssss ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
Their romance is very sweet and tender, with minimal angst (even tho the drama is a bit angsty, lol). There's also some interesting conversations about... his um... original creation purpose and how they both go about navigating a genuine relationship that's built on more than just that purpose. Meanwhile FL is dealing with grief and depression(?), so it's a fun time, tbh.
Admittedly, the drama still has some trad moments. Like ML saving FL, being more assertive in bed, etc (especially in the final arc, he gets more assertive and sassy), but he's still ultimately at her service, so as far as these kinda plots go, it's acceptable. Just a heads up that thought it's very good, it's not perfect RR.
The most forehead kisses I've ever seen in a drama ever. Also clock the way his shirt is falling off his shoulder in #3, second row ๐ CUTE
Probably one of the best verticals I ever watched. The story was coherent, actually interesting, and relatively well-crafted for a vertical. The visuals and quality were amazing. The characters and relationships were given depth and development, and the drama even goes about handling some pretty heavy topics in a tasteful and thought-provoking way. I was actually left in tears by the end ๐ญ
Trigger warning for: lengthy discussion about grief and moving on after a love one's death (partner), what it means to be human/alive, and a bittersweet but also happy but also bittersweet ending.
I might check it out after I'm done with Love Scout (some day)
I need your thoughts as you watch, ma'am. It's one of Korea's best outwardly RR creations aside from Love and Leashes. And I know you love a hot dad (which ML is) and malewife content (like me), so I'm waiting for you to gobble it down.
