The "Powerful Female Lead" is Simply Bait

she's powerful, she's brave, she's intelligent, she makes her own way in the world, and she has forced the world to bend for her...don't worry, she is only this woman for a few episodes. soon, she will be stripped of all defiance of the status quo, all accomplishments, and relegated to being his cheerleader (if, we're lucky, she might keep her brain - still remain a woman, instead of a little girl in the body of a woman)

It's wonderful, you see...it's a love story (and what other ways are there to tell a love story?)
