K-Drama Favorite TROPES: Possessive/Jealous/Alpha Male Leads
These are usually darker themed shows/movies with OVER THE TOP Male Leads. Possessive. Intense. Stalker-ish Behavior. Abusive. Jealous. Rage-y. Steamy. Slap-Kiss. Women are usually put through a ton of crap and end up *still* falling for the ML. Please leave all your common sense, feminism, and flight-or-fight instinct at the door before beginning these. Not going to lie, these are up my alley when I'm in the mood, but I go in knowing what I'm in for. You've been warned. ^_^
I've personally watched/rated all of these! :)

32. Love Is the Best
Chinese Drama - 2013, 33 episodes
I kept seeing this one recommended for being soooo good. No. It was painfully bad plot with mediocre characters and zero character development.
-
33. Sanaeha Sunya Kaen
Thai Drama - 2014, 15 episodes
rape trigger. ridiculous ML and not my favorite FL (she's really pretty though) This show is one of the most frustrating I've ever watched. The ML had major issues.

35. Roy Lae Sanae Luang

36. You Always Haunt My Heart

not my favorite. 2ML is abusive physically and emotionally, but weirdly emotionally dependent upon FL. J-Dramas are not my usual "style" though so this one was hard to rate.
