I will jump on the discussion bandwagon with some analysis 😂😂😂 because I've been thinking about this for a while. So the big romance dramas this year I'm sorry this is gonna be so long but I like so lay everything out because talking in general doesn't actually show anything if you want to be like "I ain't reading all that but I'm happy for you or sorry that happened" I will completely understand.

Lovely runner: ride or die female lead but you could make the argument and not a weak one that they showed the ml's love and affection in a bigger way.

Queen of tears: Felt pretty even in that regard for me but up for debate.

Marry my husband: The poster girl for uneven dynamics where the ML entire existence revolved around the FL and at the first opportunity she had to show even an ounce of the same she was like nope.

Captivating the king: This one had to do mental gymnastics with its own logic to justify the FL treating the ML like shit 12 episodes deep into the show when it longer made any sense.

Queen of divorce: This one was just sad and pathetic because girlie gets drunk and sleeps with a dude gets pregnant while she's dating ML and then cuts him off with no explanation. ML loves her for years and then simps 24/7 without a shred of dignity, It doesn't help that it was just dumb all around.

Then you have atypical family, wedding impossible, dreaming of freaking Cinderella, midnight romance in hagwon where it's not that obvious in some instances but it was still the typical (haha) guy makes bigger gestures/declarations/ etc

Just as far back as 2020 you could find a much more balanced list: Flower of evil, Mr queen, Hospital playlist, itawon class, tale of the nine taled, run on, find me in your memory, when the weather is fine, into the ring all weren't perfect in this regard but they had really really committed men but also women who maybe liked them and pursued them first( itaewon, WTWIS, FMIYM, hospital playlist in the case of two couples) who protected them with strength or just words (run on, FOV, itaewon, into the ring), who you felt were just as committed as their significant others in most instances. And the differences are so stark side by side You could say we're only a little over halfway through the year but somehow I don't think anything will change. Last year was more of the same there were exceptions like see you in 19th life, call it love, castaway diva but it was mostly the same song and dance; Welcome to samdari, my dearest, perfect marriage revenge, love to hate you, king the land (somehow the most inconspicuous but also the most blatant every big gesture or confession and even the small ones were 99 percent him, was from the ml's side so much so that when he has to deal with emotional trauma they had him do it alone 😂😅😂 and the moment that encapsulates the whole thing is when they're talking to her grandma and he's like I'll make her happy for the rest of her life and she's like I'll be happy with him for the rest of my life like woman please I know you're reassuring your grandma but come on) oh and also soundtrack 2 had people picking up their pitchforks. There was also tell me you love me which was the opposite with the FL being the more affectionate forward one for most of the show and the ml being hesitant because he's deaf and he's been burned so badly before because of his disability and his ex girlfriend not being able to handle it only to reverse uno us and have the FL do the exact same thing which made it so much worse she literally tells him she had a dream he could hear and was so happy and I almost banged my heard against the wall. I can't speak to my demon, park's marriage though because I haven't seen them.

P.S all of this and kdramas come off smelling like roses compared to cdramas which are so so SO much worse. Is it because they almost exclusively adapt novels? Which makes sense for kdramas too because they've started adapting a lot more webtoons and romance novels/webtoons are usually a lot more blatant about the romantic reverie because they're a different medium. If you want balanced couples you need to pick which cdramas you watch very carefully lest you loose all your hair because you're tearing it out. So many of them are : boy gets tortured for girl boy gets stabbed for girl boy literally kills and dies for girl boy says the most unhinged romantic shit you've ever heard in your life to girl. Girl: sure whatever I guess...

jump on it anon!! i'm always up to read some analysis in my askbox honestly it makes me feel like i'm a talk show or something - also the sheer amount of dramas you've listed made me realise i've actually watched very few dramas in the last two years so i definitely felt like we were making progress but maybe no lmao i've only watched lovely runner, castaway diva and soundtrack 2 out of your list of this year and last year - i tried to watch my demon and i was just kind of bored tbh

and omg i had forgotten about when the weather is fine and into the ring! both definitely had very proactive female leads (i love when she's like "should we sleep together" or "i want to sleep with you" or something like that in when the weather is fine) and also really nice stories

as for king the land what do you mean he delt with his trauma alone like was he at the hospital and she didn't visit him??? but yeah i would not be surprised to hear a fl was written more as tool to have the ml show humanity and strenghth and have a goal for his fight and his recovery than as an actual person lol

ngl your description is kind of making me want to watch more cdramas just to see what's going on like why are so many people stabbing and torturing others!! do you have any recommandations?

It's been 12 years (Boys Over Flowers' Go Jun Pyo) since I was so immersed to a fictional character especially in a drama.

Since I read the webtoon last 2019 until now, I knew already the plot and I expected the webtoon will be the same with the drama adaptation. In webtoon, I rooted first for Jugyeong and Suho but after he left for Japan, here comes Seojun who confessed after 2 years and became Jugyeong's first boyfriend, kiss and the guy who supported her during those 2 years she felt hopeless. During the past that Suho is her first love, Seojun never meddled with her feelings but still he kept his feelings for her not only for Jugyeong but for Suho, his best friend. After 2/3 years (can't remember), he confessed and Jugyeong felt the same also and they became a couple in the webtoon. Quarrels and misunderstanding came along their way but these made their relationship grew stronger. But when he pursued his dream as an idol because it seemed like everything is falling apart around him(he's not that typical rich kid since he had some part-time jobs) , he decided to debut as an idol. Then, this became a hurdle for the two of them where she needed to break up with him in order for him to become a successful. Others may say it is a cliché type of plot, but no you can felt the great and selfless love of Jugyeong to Seojun especially when she suffered from the bashers and the way she kept missing him and their sweet moments. No wonder I rooted also for them in the drama but I'm wrong, the sweet moments and story line for Han Seojun were given to Lee Suho(to make it clear ,I have no hard feelings towards the actor and character, it's just the sudden change).

/Warning Spoiler/ Review : #TrueBeautyEp16 #Finale

I'm satisfied with the ending 📷. It was quite fitting and well made, The adaption has written and Directed in a way from the very beginning that the main leads end up together unlike in Webtoon (I'm not complaining)📷. *SuHo and JuGyeong scene actually fluttered me.. The apologies, supporting boyfriend and the kiss scene's that was so sweet tbh. *SeoJun is Strong and Fine Good Man 📷, I cried when he hug JuGyeong and saying go to SuHo then he cried., he already knew that he didn't had a chance for JuGyeong even before that after 2 years. He can't forced her to love him. You know confessing your feelings to someone is not easy so for me SeoJun is a STRONG MAN indeed. I believed that he didn't confessed early because he is considering JuGyeong's feeling as she was still trying to moved on from Suho. Just as what Ju Gyeong's brother told him, it's better to confessed then move on afterwards. Atleast he won't have any regrets well FINE MAN.. The last 15 minutes seeing Han Seo Jun singing and Suho and Ju Gyeong being th enumber 1 supporter is everything for me 📷 📷. SeoJun treasure his friendship with Suho, that's why he didn't pushed himself more.. He chose friendship with them at the end. GOOD MAN.. *Nice to See SooJin, Soo Ah and Ju Gyeong together gain. Moral of the story.. Love and embrace yourself is the real standard of beauty. I'm Happy for the this trio 📷 . Ps: Our strawberry and grapefruit couple was really hilarious even at the wedding yawa 📷. Thank you for all the Cast and production 📷.
