To put it simply, she’s a strategist—so even when she loves him, she loves with her mind, not just her heart. But after he falls for her, he loves her unconditionally, trusts her completely, and always makes her his first priority. And I think we agree she didn’t do the same. The fact that she didn’t tell him about the tunnel is proof of that. amd it's not wrong do that because she has her valid reasons but it shows her level of love .

Yes, there are exceptions to these clichés, like The Road Home, Hidden Love, Lighter and Princess, Intense Love, and Forever and Ever—these are the ones I remember. In these, the FL also shows her love just like the ML, and sometimes she even loves the ML more than he loves her.

And you're right, it sells, so they always use this dynamic in romance to show the contrast between the ML and FL. It's always acceptable for the FL to act cold, serious, and love with her mind, while the ML is the complete opposite.

And you can feel that the FL can give up the ML’s love for her family or other things without much thought. But the ML would give up on himself if it meant getting the FL—not just his family or other things, lol. I always feel this way in romance C-dramas. In almost every one, the FL breaks up with or leaves the ML so easily, then comes back after years—she find the ML still waiting for her, and he’s the one who has to chase her again 😅🤣😅,

it ended and it's a happy ending

I think you're wrong about the trust thing . She didn’t trust him completely like he did , and they got back together quickly only because the male lead loves her unconditionally and doesn’t expect anything from her after falling in love. Even when she didn’t trust him and he got mad, he forgave her very quickly and understood why she did it. He gave up his revenge for her and didn’t put his people first like she did.

I just wanted to say this because I feel like he did 70% or more in the relationship before she even started to think that she should make some effort too.

sorry I rant about a point you mentioned.

I really don't get why they always make the strong, charismatic, masculine male lead act like a loser just because he falls in love. Meanwhile, the female lead is always charismatic, independent, strong, and mature. He ends up being made into a joke, acting like an insecure teenage virgin, just to show that he's in love and has a "softer" side — which basically just means a loser side.

Why can't the male lead be like the female lead? Even when she loves the male lead, she still thinks with her mind and never acts childish to express her love. She doesn't show love by being insecure or jealous. It's always the male leads in C-dramas who completely change after falling in love. They love unconditionally, fall first and harder, and constantly chase the female lead.

The female leads always seem to have more important things in life than the male lead or loving him. It’s always the male lead who has to change, become submissive, and forgive the female lead even when she’s in the wrong — and often without an apology. He has to prove he's worthy of her to her parents, but you rarely see a female lead doing the same for him.

I don't blame him for a bit because he's like that and that's what he's, bit I blame the idiot fl for accepting him again and act like he's her best friend and laugh with him and ignore the one she start to like that fast, and she act after a day angry at her ex like he didn't do anything and she goes with him to Japan lol

first time I think because the ml is favorite for majority of viewers lol in other dramas you see two different teams fight in comments about ml or sml lol but in this drama and it's the first one i read majority didn't like the sml and love triangle lol

I don't even know if she likes him. If she does and still treats him like this, what would she do if she hated him after finding out about his lies 😅🤣🙃

and just wait till she knows his reasons for coming to her lol she will slap him and do more of she treated him like this when he's begging for a chance to date her ,lol

and don't forget there still a break up cliche also because of his reasons why he comes to meet her , so another episode without dating so at best will date for one episode and if it's a happy ending they get at the last minute lol

But they always portray it like: when men respect women, treat them well, and listen to them—they win. But the ones who don’t do that, who are bad toward women and don’t listen, are shown as idiots or weak, and they lose because they didn’t put women in high places.
This is one of the major feminist ideas in C-dramas overall.
They make it seem like: "Oh, he lost a good woman because he didn’t respect her or think she was smart, so he lost, and he’s not wise, and now his people suffer. But his enemy? He respected a woman, trusted her, and even fell for her—so he wins, and he’s the wise one!"
Basically, being submissive to your wife is seen as a good thing that makes you win. But when wives are submissive to their husbands, it’s always portrayed negatively in C-dramas, especially in this kind of drama.
The male leads are always submissive toward the female leads, but the female leads are never like that. They always have an independent mindset and love with their mind—not like the male leads who loves unconditionally.

But let’s be honest—she’s right. A husband’s duties are not a valid reason to abandon him or throw him to the wolves like she did. At least in this case, she is right. She’s more in love and actually puts her husband first, not her clan or family.
But Manman? It’s not that her husband has bigger responsibilities—it’s that she truly prefers her family and clan first. If she loses her husband for her family, she sees it as a good deal, ( she will feel sad and everything but at the end it's her family first) But if she loses her family for her husband, she sees it as a bad deal ( and will not be okay to stay with him after so she will lose him also)
And we’re talking only about this specific point, not in general.

And does she also do the same? Or is she portrayed as perfect, with nothing to realize or apologize for? They always use this cliché where only the male lead gets moments of reflection or growth, while the female lead acts like she’s always right, and her love for him is some kind of favor he doesn’t deserve—so he has to constantly prove he loves her more.
Is it different in this drama? Does she also apologize, show her love, and feel bad about the wrongs she did? Or is it just the usual 'for my people' narrative, where I’m right no matter what, and the male lead ends up being her second or third priority? thank you

so who's the man in this relationship it's the fl lol what a strong general acting like virgin teenager on her first night 😅🤣🤣🤣

is she said it to him !? why you want him to say she did it fir him if she also don't say anything about it lol what if brag about that a d she said I did it for my people!? how he will still have a face 🤣😅🤣😅

the difference between mls and fls , if it was ml who hides that from fl writers they will make him suffer couple of episodes sending litters and apologizing and she will be mad at him and even break up with him, but when they make fl is the wrong one ml forgive her Easley and still say why she didn't say anything to me or try lol

I'll wait until it ends to see how she shows her love and how they allow him to retain his masculine personality, dignity, and self-opinions, even if they differ from hers. I hope he won't just agree with all her opinions and become merely a "tool or pawn" she uses because she's so smart that he has to follow her and show his unconditional love by doing so.
have a good night 🤗

Thank you. To be honest with you, I dislike the cliché of the male lead always loving unconditionally, especially when the male lead is someone like the one in this drama, and particularly when he sees the female lead doesn't love him in the same way. It's not wrong for him to love her similarly to how she loves him, but unfortunately, C-drama writers always do this. What's worse for me is that they have to "degrade" the male lead to make the female lead look smarter and more independent, and to show that she can change him and "control" him in a way. You said he puts the female lead in her place if she crosses the line, but I bet she still does whatever she wants without caring how he will feel, because she has more important things than him!
I'll stop here; I've taken a lot of your time, sorry. I'll wait to see how she will act after meeting him. Will she apologize and learn how to love him as he does, or will it just be another smart, independent girl and her love slave who apologizes even when he does nothing wrong and promises to be her sword and shield and listen to her commands? I wish they don't use this stupid cliché just to show how smart she is and how much he loves her. Thank you and have a good time watching it.

I stopped watching Cdrama for this reason with the simping thing lol , I even have many fans blocked me because saying so 😅🤗🤣🤣🤣

LBFAD:
I just know it's a sad ending; I didn't watch it to understand what happened.
I started "Falling Into You" many times, but there was always something I didn't like about it, maybe her friendship with the second male lead or something always bothered me, so I never finished it. I did rewatch some episodes because I liked their mature relationship and good intimacy scenes.
"You Are My Glory" is good and all, but I think she loves her job more, LOL. She's always away working. They've been in a relationship for more than six years, but they still don't even think about children, and at the end, he looks like her assistant, following her around 🤣😅. Maybe my opinion is weird, I don't know 🤗😶‍🌫️.
