Just what I was about to write. Most especially this ML he always turns into a simp that is why I don’t like…
dear, if you are married or in a relationship, try telling your partner that the boy/girl who has been friends with you since childhood is dead and you wish you were dead as well. And add few angry words, insults etc etc..taking your anger out on your partner..
See how that would end in real life.
if you are male, I would assure you that your gf would dump you 10 seconds into the tantrum.
Not since ep 16, I feel this ways since she manipulated him to release Han Li and he get the worst part of the…
may be the writers want to tell viewers that ML, after falling in love with FL, has stopped using his brain & is thinking with other part of his body.....
Just what I was about to write. Most especially this ML he always turns into a simp that is why I don’t like…
Cdrama running theme in every drama is that ML must sacrifice his goals, ambitions, family, friends etc etc for FL. on other hand, for the FL, the ML would not even be in top 10 of her priorities.
And the male childhood friend for FL, such an over-used cliche. never has in Cdrama history did any ML have that kind of a childhood female friend.
the harem theme in Cdrmas is so overt, it just leaves a bad taste when you see ML not even standing up for himself.
the first instance in ep16 when FL treats ML badly should have been the instance she got dumped. Only after she comes back her senses, crawls back and asks for forgiveness should the ML even think of giving her another chance - instead, we get to see a simpy Joe catering to the tantrums of Mary Sue.
Just when you think the drama is decent, ep 16 happens.
looking at the mindless tantrums of FL, the logical thing anyone would do just flip a finger and go on their way.
but like all Cdramas the ML turns into a simp for the FL after he falls in love. Even watching ML in ep 16 was cringe. A spineless doormat, like every other ML in cdramas.
you are right though. Have not seen any recent Kdramas where the ML shows any attraction to any woman other than the FL. The FL's on the other hand are regular girls who have crushes, boyfriends and male friends with life filled with flirtings and interactions.
Just imagine the ML projected in this drama. very hand some and very rich. if this was real life, this kind of a man would be dating since his high school. In Uni, this kind of a guy would have had casual relations with most of the girls in the uni.
Even for story sake, if none of that is shown, at least show that guy having been attracted to other girls!
It's as if the writers have never met a man. if they indeed ever interacted with a man, they would never write a man like how they do in these dramas. Do these writers write these kind of men with a straight face and sell it to their audience?! Have they ever met a 16 year old boy? if they did, these writers would know how fake their ML's are....evry 16 year old would be thinking about sex all the time.
The only way to make one understand how fake these ML's are to ask them to imagine a FL who has her first period at the age of 30, after she falls in love with the ML.
Was he really that awful?The fact that a trespasser who insists on destroying a place your family holds dear is…
You can definitely have it. You can also have more toxicity as well.
I mean, it's a drama. They should be taking as many liberties when developing the characters and story.
As long as the viewers are shown a toxic ML or FL as being toxic, it is fine.
As example, if the ML was beating the shit out FL and the drama shows it in funny way and makes the ML looks cool - then yeah, it's not alright. Kdrama 'Strangers Again', the FL is absolutely toxic. She physically and verbally abuses the ML, the drama makes it look funny and the ML deserved it. It was so over the top and frankly was uncomfortable. If the ML ever did anything remotely similar to FL, we would be telling the FL to run. This drama ML or FL are no where near as toxic as the FL in 'Strangers Again'.
Characterization needs to be consistent. If all characters in drama are good, then we will be seeing a lot of boring dramas.
There is nothing wrong in having a toxic person as long that's how they come across and the journey makes sense.
The ML's don't even sully their eyes by looking at any other woman except the FL. It would be a great disservice to the FL if the handsome CEO ever laid his eyes on another woman.
the monkey at the zoo can write better stories than Kdrama romance writers.
We have seen the same FL in dozen other Kdramas in last 6 months. the one with an ex-bf, popular with men, free spirited etc etc
The same ML is every Kdrama romance. Rich, extremely handsome, well educated. Also has good dose of mental issues and impotency, which renders him incapable of even looking at girls, until he meets the FL.
After lot of fluff, the ML's mental issues are resolved, so does his impotency, which finally results in the guy having his first relationship at tender age of 30, even though he is very rich, very capable and very handsome.
It's already 2023 the love triangle should be outdated, time for every character to have a pair and not just a…
not love interests but genuine female friends of ML.
In most cdramas, the FL is good friends with lot of men. They are friends and some of them form part of love triangle. still, the FL has good friendly interactions with them.
the ML's on the other hand does not seem to have a female dog around them in Cdramas. it's time cdramas become a little real and show ML in some dramas being good friends with females, just like how in every drama FL is friends with males.
It's already 2023 the love triangle should be outdated, time for every character to have a pair and not just a…
Cdramas should start showing ML being friends with other women than the FL. It's unnatural how these ML's don't have any woman friends, like how the FL has men friends.
It would have added to the dynamic if FL were to see ML caring for his female friend and having friendly, normal interactions with her.
Alas, Cdramas never ever show ML having any female friends.
Same shit, Cold CEO whose sole and only love ever is the FL and the FL surrounded by her ex-boyfriend, her current crush, her future love and 2-3 more guys in love with her...
Typical Cdrama romance crap starring Mary Sue as the FL and Simpy Joe as the ML.
It was meant to be a gag but yes, she shouldn't have broke his tailbone. However, he deserved a punch. 10 years,…
Watched the whole series, twice. One of my fav series, minus the romance, which sucked.
Shit happened to her, shit also happened to the ML while trying to protect her. Point was, she had her reasons to leave them. point also is, she did not care who the ML was as long as she gets to have sex with him in turn he does her favors. From her side, he did not care for the husband she left. It was pure coincidence that the man she approached for help turned out to be her husband. If it was some other man who could help her, she wouldn't have hesitated for 1 second to shag him for help.
lastly, the main point was about the writers making the ML sit on his knees, when it should have been the FL begging on her knees and asking for forgiveness. That ML was dedicated to FL ever since he was a plant & in return the FL was an ass towards him. She did not deserve him one bit.

For real! You can have empowering female characters without degrading the male ones. There's absolutely no need…
Even though I liked the first series on Bong Soon, the FL's mother in that one was horrible towards her husband, she basically treated him like dirt. If a husband were to ever treat his wife in such degrading way, we would have supported her dumping that clown but the cowardly husband treated like slave was supposed to be funny.
It was meant to be a gag but yes, she shouldn't have broke his tailbone. However, he deserved a punch. 10 years,…
There is a Cdrama called 'Eternal love'. the FL dumps and her husband and new born son and goes off on her way to do her own things.
The ML diligently looks after the son and keeps looking for his wife.
In the end, the drama makes the ML kneel and apologize for making the FL run away. You read that right. The FL dumps her husband and son & it;s the ML who ends up begging.
it did not make any sense but later on i read somewhere that men suffering, especially the ML is the most liked theme in Kdramas and Cdramas. The more they suffer, the better the ratings.
A few nights with me and I could reform him too. Tee hee hee.
That's what they think & eventually end up in trunk of a car with limbs and head separated. You see this a lot of times. basically failure of evolution. Going to meet people who you know are bad. It's a trend I guess, may be due to the high it gives, at least until the head gets separated.
It's like drunk driving on a highway. You know it will result badly but still, the thrill it gives for those few minutes until....
And add few angry words, insults etc etc..taking your anger out on your partner..

After few really disappointing dramas, Xu Kai seems to have picked up a good one.
Same shit,
Cold CEO whose sole and only love ever is the FL
and the FL surrounded by her ex-boyfriend, her current crush, her future love and 2-3 more guys in love with her...
Typical Cdrama romance crap starring Mary Sue as the FL and Simpy Joe as the ML.
dear god, watching these romance Cdramas feels like deja Vu.
One of my fav series, minus the romance, which sucked.

I suspect most of these dramas are written by women with lot of issues in real life.
