Quantcast

For once I wanna see it the other way around.  

I like watching BL because there is a man who is approaching the person he likes (even though it might not be socially acceptable and he has to deal with that, too) but also because a guy is being approached, sometimes even more aggressively. I would like to see dramas where woman are stalking down their prey and not the usual kind "I am gonna snuggle him to death till he finally likes me <3" but just like with so many other tropes that come with men approaching women, I want her to overstep boundaries, getting into this personal space, having the 'upper hand'.

I think I have found a mild example in The World of the Married. Here it FL is this very successful superwoman without the drama ever bragging about it. Throughout the series you see her managing so many different aspects of life that you wonder if this is even realistic anymore (wife and mother while being a doctor and still able to present a Korean million side dish breakfast). A side character, the neighbour across the street, has a crush on her and you see the fear and wonder in his eyes when he looks at her. Always cautious, observing. 

Oh My General is romance in reversal between a strong woman and a more feminine man. She definitely oversteps boundaries, gets into his personal space, having the 'upper hand' till the end.
