 Emma:
I was looking for other signs of RR

Same here, same here... T_T

 Emma:
I love the makeup looks and him trying to act fem

That does sound pretty based. Unfortunate it has such issues but it's not unexpected ig ;-; I'll defs give it a watch sometime, thanks! 

 Emma:
Is that his ex?

no no, FL from Oh My General, haha XD

Re the spoiler: GOD YES- I've seen this once or twice in passing but it's such a little but delightful detail- his ex was lowkey cool affff
The amusement park scene was a fav of mine too, like omg, SOOO CUTE!!! with the lil nephew like aww

 Emma:
I just finished this one yesterday.

Yoooo, what are the oddss?? The little happily ever after they did was PRECIOUS AF- 100% agree

 Emma:
Ki and Ka

I watched the trailer and I AM OBSSESSED!! imma see if I can find it subbed somewhere because I wanna watch it sooo bad- TYSM for the recc!! 

 Emma:
Mama Gogo, not sure how RR it is but it seems interesting

It's Thai so I'm not particularly holding my breath but likeeee definitely seems very unusual. If nothing else it'll prolly be at least somewhat RR because of the setting xD Been on my PTW for ages and I was about to start it like at least a dozen times, idk why I didn't. Let me know how it goes! 


 unbeliebubble:
I am glad I watched it. It is top notch in technical quality and I really liked it.

Glad you enjoyed it! I read the ending spoiler so now I'm scared to watch it but I'll probably do so anyway at some point xD

 ree0:
does anyone know any 2024-25 release Modern drama that is like full on RR

I feel like Love Scout prolly comes the closest but I haven't watched yet so I'll let those who have confirm 

 unbeliebubble:
it is sadomasochistic

Domineering CEO ML + sadomasochism but it's RR? I... I am very intrigued as to how this'll work. Might just give it a try 👀 

Somehow had some brain power left today so I went ahead and updated the index to include how to add RR currently airing, recently aired, and upcoming titles + how to add "club member's thoughts" (this all ended up being more effort than I thought, haha) 

I also reorganized the index so it's now... Trope Info & Lists, News, Members & Activities, Badges & Banners. It made more sense to me xD 

Let me know what y'all think ^^


Alsoooo 

Stumbled upon this currently airing drama which seems somewhat RR to me so I added it to the index. It's a remake from a kdrama which I saw featured in Ree's RR list and upon checking the trailer it was kinda giving, even if not a whole lot xD 

Renai Kakumei

Trailer: https://youtu.be/OWFPjdyRIq8?si=z7UNpagqEISTQN4j

I watched Deep love love again because I was too curious. I fast forwarded through like 70%+ of it and only watched the "RR" scenes and enough chatter scenes to get some context xD God, that plot was a messsss- the comments were as confused and they were watching the whole thing, riiiippp

Honestly, why was it shot so nicely? That thing was ARTISTIC and beautiful? And the music was amazing too. That being said I didn't find it to be RR T-T The most RR aspect is that FL seems to be a switch so she likes taking control sometimes but ML is definitely not so we get like 1 scene where she ties him up and teases him and that's it (+ the ending scene which is femdom). I will say she does well at leading her own narrative, she's not as much of a damsel in distress as other FLs in the same type of genre. Maybe if ML wasn't such a possessive, jealous and insane dom, it could've been more RR but as it stands rn, it's a no from me 😔

I was writing this while watching it and I STAND BY WHAT I SAID- however........ it was all worth it for the ending scene <3 It's giving Dong Lan Xue... IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW and if you don't, then GO WATCH DONG LAN XUE xD God what I wouldn't give for the entire drama to have been like thaaaattt- augh... 

I much prefer this ML in loser roles like in Begin Again. God, he would just absolutely obliterate a puppy role 🙏 but everyone casts him in cold/domineering CEO roles T_T I get it, he looks phenomenal in a suit but he can wear a suit and still have a big ol grin, those aren't mutually exclusive 

 Arclei:
I watched Deep love love again because I was too curious

This is true it was visually very beautiful.  Yes there was some shortcomings to this plot. At some point when the brother or ex boyfriend appear. It is unclear who he really is. This part was not understandable.

The ending was everything. IYKYK. I liked that FL had a complete character development. I was first annoyed and bit by bit I appreciated more and more her way to tackle her revenge by herself. So I liked this drama. But it is not for everybody and it is not perfect either.

Preach it girl !!!

unbeliebubble:

Agreed. Quite refreshing in the sea of typical damsels in distress xD

It was actually after finding out about role reversal that I delved into asian dramas, my first being The Romance of Tiger and Rose set in a matriarchy.

I have since then dedicated myself to make a curated Role Reversal recommendation list (based on this masterlist) detailing the role reversal present (or not) in asian dramas & movies ^-^

If you like role reversal, then be sure to come join us over at the Role Reversal Drama Lovers Club! We have lots of resources and recommendations there!

Drama watching habits.

I'm a mood watcher which means I can only watch a certain something if I'm in the mood for it. Forcing myself to watch something I'm not in the mood for is excruciating but I do it more than I care to admit ;-; It's a work in progress

Spoilers surprisingly don't affect me much and I like to do quite some investigating before committing to a drama. Especially a longer one.

I don't like dropping dramas but I'm learning to do it more.  

Sci-Fi | Fantasy | Thriller | Action | Romance

Likes:

Strong/badass female lead, soft/kind male lead, morally grey characters, magical world, gender role reversal, bromance/sismance, found family, action, mother-son dynamics, sibling bonds, healthy mains relationship, sci-fi, protective women, happy endings, whump, romance + action, similars attract, girlboss x malewife, car chases/chase scenes, memorable OSTs, disability representation, high stakes, slight horror, wacky/unusual plots

9.0 - Great 

I really enjoyed but had some unfortunate less great things

8.5 - Very Good
Above average good

7.5-8 - Average/Good

Quite a bit of things are off but they still have enough good things

1-3.5 -No
I really shouldn't have finished it

Okay, so I am on episode 4 of love scout, and oh my goodness its been so long since I have seen a drama that truly has made me feel all of the feels. Loving this show so much

That's promising thank you for your feedback. :)

 Arclei:
Let me know how it goes! 

I just started it, it's really fun and has a lot of fan service. The guys are all cute, one's shy and reserved, one is always cheerful like an adorable puppy and dresses in crop tops and booty shorts sometimes, and one's giving himbo vibes. The FL is cool, I'm looking forward to the main's relationship, the guy seems a bit more reserved  while she's more upfront

Emma:

Crop tops and booty shorts you say??? 🤩🤩🤩

Sounds really fun, lots of RR potential with such men + a cool FL 🙏 We love to see it!

Hi... anyone here remembers a Chinese drama where 3 or 4 young male idols are kept secluded from the mainstream world and a young girl joins as their house-cleaning staff to temporarily replace an ailing grandmother who was the original cleaner and then her friends also eventually meet the idols and they get into relationships and free the idols from the trap finally... I watched this 4-5 years ago and now I don't remember the name of the drama...
