Time To Vent

I didn't think I could despise a character more than Ke Wei Xiang from Inborn Pair, but lo and behold Aaron Yan's character, Lu Tian Xing has outdone Chris Wang in only 12 episodes.
It's not Yan's fault that he plays the role so convincingly.
BTW, if Lu Tian Xing wanted to give Tao Le Si gifts he should've started by returning her watch since he's the one that caused it to be damaged in the first place!
And I realize that I'm nowhere near as good looking as Aaron Yan, which is why I don't understand why the writers would have his character be so aggressive with the female lead (I was taught that grabbing and pulling a woman means that a man thinks of a woman more as a possession than a person and that earns you a beat down in my book).
My sister has a theory that because Aaron Yan has such soft and effeminate features and mannerisms that the writers tried to compensate by making his characters more masculine. I mostly agree with her, but I feel that these shows go overboard by reinventing the jerk as being romantic and loving, which is a dangerous message to send.
