I decided to drop this drama. Click on the spoiler box below to find out the reason why!
I don't like weak female leads (see the definition below). Watching the female lead beg her husband to love her and their child, and to be with her and their baby at the beginning of episode 7 is not relatable to me. She has been in denial for the last 5 episodes, especially the last 2 episodes. Does she really expect things to go back to how they were, even if he decided not to leave her for the woman he cheated on her with and impregnated? For a woman being a single mother is one of the most scariest things that we can experience, but raising a child with an emotional abusive, cheating dad/husband should be just as scary. I would never want my child to grow up with a toxic parent. Sometimes being a single parent is a better option. So, yeah... I am dropping this. Unless I read that it gets better, I don't plan to pick this drama back up.
What makes a female character weak? A weak female lead is someone who doesn't use wisdom, allows the male lead to ruin her life, while she sit idly by for the sake of love (leaving is a really great option, that female leads rarely choose to take up), and chooses the toxic male lead because they had chemistry at one point.
What makes a female character strong? A strong female lead character is not necessarily someone who knows how to fight physically, but is a female character that 1. Uses wisdom most of the time (not all the time) - A lot of the female damsel in distress characters lack wisdom. They act on impulse, and make decisions that almost always lead them to depend on the male lead or second male lead for the whole drama. 2. Does not allow the male leads to ruin her life, while she sit idly by for the sake of "love," that really isn't love -Dramas tend portray a false image of love when it comes to romance. Love is not a woman taking abuse (verbal, emotional, or physical abuse) in order to be with a man. Almost always in dramas we see that the female lead is deceived, manipulated, or intimidated into a situation by the hands of the male lead. What's the female lead response? They either stick with the male lead through heartbreak and pain, or get back together with the male lead eventually. We often see the male leads choosing their family, revenge, or their title over the female lead, and or we see the male leads leading the female lead on a romantic chase, metaphorically speaking. The female lead in dramas while angered, end up being okay with being the last priority on the male lead's priority list. 3. Is free to choose who she love, even if it's the second lead and not the first - For goodness sakes, dramas will have people thinking that females love attractive toxic men, while hating the good guys who are caring and attractive.
I'm kind of a fan about the 6-way tie for 3rd place XD
I liked the ending of Princess Agents. What I do not like is the fact that it's been over 2 years, and Princess Agents 2 hadn't been filmed yet. I also liked the ending of The Smile Left Your Eyes. However, there is one thing that I disliked. I think the storyline in the 2 episode before the final episode was rushed.
I am so glad to see Well-Intended Love on this list.. though I was actually enjoying the drama through the first…
Oh wait, someone else already wrote about this drama. They said one of the husbands is horrible to his wife and because it's a contractual marriage, he felt like he could basically do whatever. Ehhhh, I don't think I can watch something like that!
Why? LOLI actually like how it ended. Below this reply is a snippet of my review of Love Alarm 2 (spoiler).
My review for Love Alarm 2
The only con of season 2 is the weird whitening glare filter.
As I mentioned in my review of season 1, "both the female lead and male lead characters had childhood trauma, specifically fear of abandonment. Thus, the male lead clinged to the female lead, thinking he loved her but really it was more out of fear. The female lead ended the relationship with the male lead, thinking she loved him, but again, it was out of fear. To be fair, most romcoms tend to have a toxic definition and understanding of what love really is. Note: the female lead and male lead were only together for 6 weeks...6 weeks! So, it shouldn't surprise anyone how she was able to move on from the relationship. What I find weird is how someone can still not be over someone 4 years after dating them, and they were only together for 6 weeks while in high school. " Now, season 2 is really showing us that the male lead (the rich one) is obsessed with the female lead (see episode 4), he doesn't love her but it's the fear of abandonment kicking in. He is literally following her around in silence (creepy vibes).
The good of season 2: •I love the way that the screenwriter wrote this story, meaning how it is told (from past to present, and present to past) • I love the fact that this drama was only 6 episodes. Sometimes K & C-dramas have way too many episodes with way too many fillers, and that takes away from the storyline. •If you watch this drama and understand the setting (high school age kids to young adults), you may like this drama too as it is a realistic feel good romantic drama. Again, when watching this drama, it's showing romance of high school age kids. •Strong female lead character

Well people voted for these dramas to be added on this list. I am not sure if you knew that, or if you thought…
So should I delete dramas from the list, just become some people don't want them to be on there? Why even have a voting list to begin with? Btw, the tone of your reply is obnoxious. Trust me, no one will be upset if you didn't give your two cents.

The list itself is horrible. Most of the dramas don't have to be here. It looks like rediculous misunderstanding.
Well people voted for these dramas to be added on this list. I am not sure if you knew that, or if you thought that I manually added all the dramas to this list by myself. You can vote by adding the dramas that you want to be on the list, by typing the names of the dramas in the box beneath the question "Is something missing on this list?"
I noticed that you left 7 comments on all the list that I've created. Is everything okay with you? =)

I usually don't watch dramas which aired after 2016. Mainly because the film quality/resolution is often poor/low.
