Haha I appreciate the positive feedback. I'll get around to writing another one some time, it takes me a bit of time to organize my thoughts and ideas. Cheers!

Thanks for the request :)

Haha, I'll take that as a compliment, cheers :P I'm actually an engineer major though lol. I just tend to write in a formal way.

Does your husband use MDL? I'm interested to see his list.

So is Uhm Ki Joon in a supporting role or main...? I'm confused. Quite impressed by his performance in Ghost *crosses fingers*

I read through that entire thing without realizing it's just a copy-paste of my own questions haha.
*edit* Nvm, she answered xD

Electrical surges+computer turned on: mm...yeah

Neither of those had aired at that point in time yet haha. But I can see where you're coming from.

The reason why I used that example was because, needless to say, the drama is packed with eye candy. Perhaps eye candy just doesn't appeal to males as much? Or it might be just a specific case for my friend himself. The answer? Who knows really, and it's essentially the whole point of my article I tried to address.

It appears my last question is a bit vague for some of you. I can see how it might be, so no worries.

I am referring to social stereotypes that exist. The example I gave in the article looks at the knight in shining armor - the man must be strong. Even though the character in Innocent Man could be considered 'the boy in distress,' he had to fight his way back up. Comparatively, 'the damsel in distress' generally has someone helping her along the way.

Now to clarify my question. Do such stereotypes affect your views in a drama? Do you start watching expecting such stereotypes to be followed? Imagine if the stereotype was broken, how would you feel about the drama?

@everyone below this post, appreciate all the responses!

This is an interesting response. Not calling you out on anything or trying to get your head bitten off by the mob of girls :P

I read earlier from a female response stating how actresses usually don't get good character roles whereas the actor generally shines. Perhaps this is a matter of perspective male vs female.

Appreciate the response and thanks for the honesty :)

I don't think I've even seen a single straight up harem drama...do they even exist? Not sure what to make of it, not even sure I would enjoy it.

Ouran High School Host Club, You're Beautiful, Rooftop Prince...oh wait, list keeps just going on xD

"6-sure at the beginning but I tend to change my ratings later when I'm finally free from their spells xD "

Haha, that's one way to stop the potential skew in rating xP

Not much for me to say, all of it you probably read already on my profile page xP. Thanks for the feedback, by the way, on my article (yes, I am biased while looking at the feedback, I pay particular attention to responses with male/M in it haha)

One of the older accounts I've seen so far, you joined just right after I did xD. Thanks for the friend request!

Cheers for the request :D High5 for Kim Sun Ah on your list!

Cheers for the request :)

Working as intended then :P I don't want to bother any of you with your pitchforks and torches.

Just want to take this opportunity to say I appreciate all the feedback and I am reading through everything. If I get enough feedback, I might just write up a follow-up article to this article to take a look at the MDL results and see what we have going on.

Cheers!

Cheers for the request :P

Cheers for the request :D High-five for Ivy Chen and Kim Sun Ah similarity!

Just wanted to let you guys know I'm reading through all these comments, I appreciate them :).

I also wanted to point out I actually grew up in the states and lived 12 years in California. I am quite aware of the culture there xD.

Cheers for the request :)

Just wanted to say I'm quite impressed with the number of movies you've seen XD.
