Thank you so much for sharing such detailed descriptions! They definitely all sound very interesting and will be checking them out! 

Didn't know Korea used to be more egalitarian in the way past- that's very interesting! 

 Simi_Tutu:

I'll add this to my To-do list. I also need to add the whole title application system that we had discussed a few days back ^^

 your thoughts about a series you're currently watching that features the RR tags.

I'll also subject you lot to my rambles because I can (affectionately) <3

Just encountered one of my favourite RR tropes BACK TO BACK in both dramas I'm currently watching: ML calling FL (and I do mean literally calling on the phone) weakly and/or desperately for help, and FL dropping everything to go save her prince in peril 

Funny coincidence? Both happen in ep 4 

Shijukara:

I thought this was gonna be a regular shemgular noona romance but ep 4 really delivered with the RR in the dark kinda way 👀

Light trigger warning for mentions of SA

I was NOT expecting his friend to force herself on him like that... Like I could tell she was a lot but wow- that was messed up... Regardless though, this is one of the few times I saw SA with a female perpetrator actually not be framed in a funny way. Huge kudos! (I honestly wasn't expecting ML to be a sex worker either but it does make perfect sense. Another RR development). <-- big spoiler

But then how he calls FL up and weakly cries "help me" and she then drops everything to go save him? AUGH- that moment has my entire heart. It honestly might just all be his manipulation but I fully believe he would be shaken after something like that so idc either ways.  <-- smol spoiler

Flex X Cop: 

God the scene of him being terrified of the rat and then desperately calling FL up was PEAK- and her thinking he was like attacked or smth because he was screaming on the phone and she was READY to save her man... And then she (totally) reluctantly stays (ugh, soooo annoying) until he is comfortable being alone... uhuh, this tough-girl act ain't fooling nobody, you love the himbo, admit it. <-- smol spoiler

Thankyou All for the warm welcome. Gonna watch something from the list of recommendations. Listing of all such dramas from this genre was highly appreciated:-)

Which drama did you end up picking to watch? 

 Arclei:

whaaa, it looked like a reverse harem to me xDD

I’m sorry, but I didn’t realize there could be more than one harem for me; I just thought of it as having multiple partners. Is it correct to say that it’s a reverse harem that fits the RR tag? I didn’t find it on the trope list, that might seem obvious, but I can be quite oblivious at times. 😅

 Arclei:

I call it the Girlboss x Boyloser xD

See this comment right here —it's the secret sauce to our awesome friendship, haha!

 Arclei:

But idk, maybe I'm looking too much into it... 

I don't think that's the case. I share your feelings, but my perspective comes from a dislike of toxic portrayals of relationships in RR. I prefer to view RR relationship positively, even though it's not always possible to maintain that storyline in every drama. Based on the trailer, I don't believe that drama aligns with the theme; she appears more like a Bosswife seeking a divorce. Which technically would mean the ML is not involved in the pairing for the RR tag. Like he's out of the box, it's OK we don't want him anyway, LOL.
