Role Reversal (RR) Drama Lovers Club

 Simi_Tutu:

I saw in the comment section of Grab Your Love that you were also watching the series, I stayed up today to complete it. What are your thoughts?

Yes, I couldn't discipline myself, I was too curious. (^_^'). I am sorry. I still want to comment each episode with you all. I was waiting for the new watchers to post before continuing.

I like the series and I enjoy every character. I like that FL is smitten, unwavering and un apologic about her love/ desires and goals in life. And I also like that ML is committed and so smitten. The two are very cute together my heart skips a bit everytime they are on screen. 

I liked the ending and it feels like they are aiming toward a season 2. I would like that to be honest. To me, the last scene felt dreamy and then the reality came . I hope it is the reality. I liked that it is not like a typical republican era drama in wich ML dies and pretty much everybody else  like in "scent of dawn". I liked that ML survives. The leads are strong in there own way. FL is a powerful businesswoman and ML Is a powerfull Millitary/ bodyguard. This drama is one of my favs now and I am very happy to that Arclei recommended it.

 Arclei:

"He wants her to love him" - I don't think this is the case tbh. I think he wants her (and her family's) power and wealth and to assert his dominance over her by making her his possession. I guess the most he might want her to feel for him is desperate. To need him. He's not quite the unhinged possessive type, he's just greedy and sleazy lol

I agree with all you said. I just interpreted the fact that he tried to spark her jealousy in episode 1 and 2  : making his mistress wearing the same necklace and asking her if she was upset as a way for him to make her love him. In that case, why doing that if you don't want someone's love. Or maybe for him controling a woman means making her jealous, I don't know.

Indeed you are totally right, he wants power, money and status. 

Yes, I think I cares. And he is somehow delusional enough to think his shenanigans can force Female Lead to love him. I suppose if it was only for power, would he be trying to run after someone in her lab. In fact when I look at him I see the glimpse of what bad love is. 

He is the kind of SML who thinks that coertion can make a woman fall in love.... What a joke.

I'm not alone in my preference

Not at all. There are some recommendations on page 1 if you are interested.

 DiskJak:

Is there no ultimatum list here or are user sheets better to use? I just don't know exactly how it works.

What is an ultimatum list?

 DiskJak:

Full list of doramas with tags)

No there is no such thing. There is recommendation on page 1 with tropes.

Userlists tend to be the best way to go since what MDL considers RR is usually very basic definitions (it takes a more literal approach like female CEOs without specifically taking into consideration character dynamics and personalities). There is the Gender Role Reversal tag but it's not only incomplete but also a bit of a gamble as to what you'll find (spoken from experience, haha. I've watched most of the content under this tag). 

User @Ree has the closest thing to an RR achieve with pretty much every RR-relevant title included within it ^^ And I have a RR recommendation list of titles I personally watched with notes and tropes included to give a general idea of what RR titles contain what content. You can find both and more in this section of the index like @unbeliebubble said. 

Hello, I'd love to join.
