Bonus: he never learns anything out of the experience...........so umm what is the driving force behind the drama?
Revenge on a douchebag cheater 😭 It's one of those dramas where I truly wonder why it even exists (I don't say this often), because genuinely what was the point of all that? Literally 0 character development of any kind, no purpose. Just revenge wish-fulfillment in the form of noncon mpreg as if that's the most harrowing and humiliating thing ever. Like idk, I don't like it
Actually came here to ask if anyone has Dear Mr. Right on their radar yet?
Apparently it has been on my radar cuz I have a liked comment on there, but I guess the ML was enough for me to wipe it from my memory 😭 It does sound very promising with that synopsis and even if ML does end up a secret super cool martial artist (like you said with that "seemingly", it's pretty much a given), it could still be like My Lady General 👀 But to me it's kinda giving more Romance of Tiger and Rose vibes for a reason I can't quite place.
Doubt we'll be getting it any time soon tho, maybe even ever
On the other hand I watched Adi Kan (FL) as 2FL in Go East and she is definitely one to play stronger, more masculine leaning roles.........aaaargh I can't tell anymore!!
We love to see it!! Hopefully she gets more lead roles, we need a lot more strong, masc FLs 🙏
Also hi, been a while since I've seen you. Hope you've been well!

Noncon anything (no matter which gender) UGH. Nonconsensual anything is my limit. And just because the ML is pregnant doesn't make it RR. There are so many things that go into RR that being able to give birth is low hanging fruit to define masculine/feminine roles.
Thank you for suffering through this one so we don't have to!!!
Hi!! oh I've been around lurking but work has been ramping up lately which cuts into my drama time (booooo!!!) How have you been??
Oh nuuuuuu, that's unfortunate ☹️ Hope it all calms down soon so you can enjoy more free time and dramas! Been watching anything interesting lately?
I've been doing well, thank you for asking! <3

Yeahhhh, it's why I didn't add the RR tag to this drama and just left it only with the mpreg one. I usually do consider all mpreg to be somewhat RR, but this one.... oof, yikes, naahhh 😭 Like you said, it's low-hanging fruit and I kinda approach it the same as matriarchy content. It being called a matriarchy isn't rlly enough- there needs to be more
Been watching anything interesting lately?
Naaaaah due to the aforementioned work, I've just been watching some of my comfort shows. Don't have the brain cells left at the end of the day to watch something new. Started Filing for Love and Absolute Value of Romance but they are a bit too sweet for my mindset right now, letting them finish airing before I binge watch them.
Filing for Love has some RR since FL is ML's supervisor and a colder, more assured character but I think she will thaw and become more softer as their relationship progresses. She is hilarious in the moments where she acts like a jerk though. I love the actress from her Mr. Queen days.
Absolute Value of Romance has way too much eye candy (is there even such a thing??????) and my blood pressure can't take watching 2 episodes back to back. sooooooo...........waiting.

That's valid, sometimes it be like that and that's okay. That's what comfort shows are for!

I had asked about this one here in the club a few days back cuz the trailer was giving me RR, haha. That's really nice! Love me a cold and self-assured FL ❤️ The actress is phenomenal, I recently watched her in Mr. Queen a few weeks ago, haha! What an icon

AHAHAHAHAHA, that definitely is an interesting struggle but I can understand- better to wait, then

The contract boyfriend melodrama would be so fun haha, gimme gimme. And Moonlight Boys would be really fun too I can tell :')
I'm lowkey tempted to start a Go Fund Me to get these dramas made 😂
Is anyone else getting RR vibes from this trailer?
I'm definitely getting RR vibes. More Princess Royal than anything because of the reborn plot, but promising nevertheless. My bait-and-switch/"The FL is actually sweet" senses were also a tiny bit triggered, but I hope I'm dead wrong. ML is beyond beautiful, and is known for his acting chops + picking good projects. The fake stock scream cracked me up because I've definitely used the same one while editing stuff in iMovie, but the rest of the production value looks solid.
If you end up watching it with your mom, lemme know if it's good! 😊

Yikes to everything you wrote 😳 Thanks for sparing us!
he's a POS all throughout and never learns his lesson
What????? Then why did they waste money on this project??? So goofy.
Its the "seemingly" part that is making me doubt that he is gonna turn out to be some martial arts expert assassin ninja guy and the story will move away from RR elements.
BINGO!
Definitely sounds like it's going to be, at least, a small bait-and-switch, but maybe it won't be too bad? The blurb sounds really cute. Please let us know if it ends up being good.

Good observation, I hadn't considered TPR, LOL- I saw an assertive FL with her guard and immediately jumped to ZGZZS like a true simp seeing my lover everywhere xD
I see what you mean about the possible bait-and-switchy thing... I didn't get strong vibes for it, mostly also because she seems to be ruthless but for good, so maybe she'll be safe. Had she been vengeful or something like that, then defs. But hey, it's China, never say never... Manifesting a FL like TPR or meaner🙏
ML is beyond beautiful, and is known for his acting chops + picking good projects.
Yeah, not only cute n pretty but also good at acting AND able to pick good projects (sometimes, tho) is a rare combo. Been too long since I've seen him 😩

LMFAAAAOOOO- cdramas and their stock sound effects 😭 Next thing you know they'll be using the weilham scream, lmfao
If you end up watching it with your mom, lemme know if it's good! 😊
Betttttt, I'll update here if it's RR and I'll spam you for anything juicy 😌
What????? Then why did they waste money on this project??? So goofy.
I knoooooooooooowwwwww 😭 I literally don't know why this exists, man...
Wait, what's going on with the ML? The comments are insane! Is he murdering people in real life?
I didn't read into it too much because the situation is haunting, but he's allegedly involved in the sacrificial torture and murder of actor Yu Meng Long.
I hadn't considered TPR
I thought you were bringing it up because you said "princess royal" in that post, but now I realize you were just using the title, not talking about the drama lol.
she seems to be ruthless but for good
Not this sinking my hopes 😂
(Me wanting a villain)
Manifesting a FL like TPR or meaner🙏
But yes, let us try.
weilham scream,
I promise I've already heard it, just can't remember which drama.

That's horrific. Okay, I don't think I wanna know too much.

Updated the club intro now that the thread update has been polished. Added some new information on role reversal media and the overlap with other content.
But especially gave a huge overhaul to the recommendation section with lots of links to new lists, blogs, tags, and more! Really nice to see so many new lists here on MDL pop up. Our lil community is growing 🥺🥺🥺 All new additions have the [NEW!] tag
I've been in a slump for several weeks now, so I've not really been watching much. What about y'all?
Yayyy more RR lists!! The rec section looks beautiful. Thank you for all of your hard work, it's always so appreciated 🫶🫶🫶
Finally have the time to get into Love Scout, so that's super exciting for me personally 😁 I think Filing for Love has been mentioned here?? I saw some cute RR kabedon gifs from it the other day, so I might bump that one up the list lol.

I'm more than happy to do it! Thank you for the kind words 💖 I'm glad you like it!

Oooooo, that one is super cute!!! I really need to get back to it sometime soon. I keep thinking about it and seeing it mentioned everywhere

Yeah, I mentioned it a few days back that the trailer seemed somewhat RR. It does have a cute kabedon scene and also a scene where ML faints in FL's arms after she catches him before he falls- but it doesn't seem to be too RR past that. At least based off of what I've seen, but I haven't actually watched it yet, so let me know how it is!
