Just gonna share this ADORABLE moment between a side couple from The Princess Royal because apparently 1 RR couple wasn't enough (I'm so happy <3).

This drama sure loves its dominant and assertive women paired with just the cutest bbg men ever and I'm thriving. Augh the way she offers her hand and then grabs his' so firmly? We simply LOVE to see it! 

P much every couple in this is at least somewhat RR so far (though admittedly all also have their traditional elements, it's still a historical cdrama after all but I'm not complaining lmfao)

Full scene GIFed because I just had to xD

Oh I've been looking around alright ;)

Lists much appreciated ❤️


I think Tiffy and Tum, side couple from Lovely Writer, may also not be on your radar yet.

A sample: 

Start at 4:50 timestamp for the first video.

Watched Kao ni Doro wo Nuru randomly. I wasn't moved but I'm also going through a period of apathy so I'm not exactly blaming the drama for that. Despite being tagged as romance, the romantic story between ML and FL is secondary to FL's growth arc which tackles emotional abuse from SML

Despite not being very long, it still somewhat dragged for me. ML especially was mostly just there as a manic pixie dream boy to change FL's mediocre life and we don't get a whole lot on him outside of this (which IG is pretty RR in and of itself but also rather frustrating). FL was fairly standard for a jdrama FL, quiet and meek and mildly irritating. That being said, this was part of her growth arc so I give it a pass (I also didn't really mind her soft-spoken nature as much as I thought I would, but I wouldn't say she's RR to any capacity). At the end she grows more confident but is still very traditional compared to ML. 

The main RR aspect of this drama would obviously be ML being a femboy king (not really romantic RR but character RR?). Unlike other dramas of similar style (like say, Kuragehime), he doesn't only crossdress but rather varies depending on his mood or look (he'll wear just about anything in any style and I'm not sure if I wanna be him or wanna be with him but I liked it xD). 

Needless to say, this drama reminded me a lot of Kuragehime but I enjoyed it less. They're quite similar with this one being less comedic and therefore more grounded but I felt like Kuragehime was more heartfelt and less dense xD The development in Kuragehime is also more 50/50 between the leads + also some for ML and the supporting characters which was just mostly lacking in this one (yes, this one is also way shorter but still). 

After watching both, I noticed that crossdressing men are usually very confident, especially compared to crossdressing women which are (from my experience) most often very shy and meek with few exceptions. 

Got me thinking (terrifying, I know), Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi actually has very confident crossdressing/masc/tomboy FLs and I should appreciate their greatness more. Dominion and Devotion and Oh My General also come to mind, the latter more than the former but then again, OMG just slays in every regard. As for shy/meek crossdressing MLs... HAHA, can't think of any. Meek MLs are already so incredibly hard to come by, same with femboys and both together? Hah, I think I'm asking too much

I just wonder how this works in the author's mind when women wearing men's clothing is generally less frowned upon than the reverse... But I guess in the end the crossdressing is not often tackled in any meaningful way (at least not by any country other than Japan, lmfao) and is merely a means to a haha-funni premise. The only explanation I can think of is that maybe it's because the women typically crossdress due to necessity while the men crossdress for pleasure so their perspectives and therefore confidence levels would be different. There's some validity to that, I guess, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't get old, lmao. It also doesn't really change if ML is crossdressing due to necessity, only sometimes

Or maybe, just maybe, I'm overthinking all of this and it ain't that deep 💀 

Thanks for coming to my very lengthy and rambly ted-talk UwU

Amen. I am a little peeved that I watched OMG as my first RR show and now other shows just do not meet the standard!!!

You are so real for that T_T OMG was also one of my first (not my very first tho, I can thank RotTaR for that) and it did the RR so effortless and thorough! Ye Zhao is still one of my fav FLs

I dropped RotTaR so hard midways in the 2nd episode. I might be blaspheming by Cdramaworld standards but I cannot stand the FL. I have yet to even complete 50% of any drama she is in. I........ just......cannot! Sandra Ma on the other hand I love!!
