Drama Theology ... 101

I HATE the way pregnancy is portrayed in dramas. I'd say 99.9% of the time it is portrayed grossly incorrectly. From unlikely miscarriages to women being 4+ months pregnant and not even showing, it's ridiculous. One example is Majo no Jouken. The woman get's pregnant but then decides to take up a teaching job? Given the sexist work in environment in Japan, her getting hired is extremely unlikely and why get a job while pregnant anyway, when you'll have to go on maternity leave soon after? Then the same woman decides to jump into the ocean, while pregnant, to save someone. And little do these drama writers know that chances of a miscarriage reduced significantly after the first trimester. Something would have to be seriously wrong for a miscarriage to happen after that. Oh, and don't let me get started on the whole miscarriage equals "Ow, my stomach hurts!" followed by the typical blood trickling down the leg. Ugh sorry it just is so dumb to me. I also can't stand when the main male lead treats the female lead like garbage and she's still crawling after him. Abuse does not equal love. On that same note, I hate it when while the main male lead is a jerk, the second lead is almost always the nice guy who treats the girl right, but he never gets chosen. I also can't stand how men tend to literally push and pull women around. It really boils my blood to see women dragged by the wrist in dramas. :/ I second amnesia and the scheming second female leads. Ever notice how it has to be the female who schemes, but when it's two guys after a girl there is no scheming involved? Hm.

I never really realized that before, but you are so right. How come the guys never scheme? Not that I want them to, neither one should scheme.

The one thing that really makes me mad in a drama is the break-up scene. Why do the women always say they are going to break-up and then the male has to fight for the relationship. I hate it. A drama that has the male actually accept the break-up and leave the relationship would be so much better than having to waste one and a half episodes on him trying to win her over again.

The main couple finally getting together only for one of them to go study abroad. It makes me mad every time.

~ Gray hair. I get gray hair by watching dramas, which is sad. My life is too damn short.

some lady in real world can be very villain, and villain male is not scheming person in drama, is more brutal impulsive (testosterone fault)

the majority of drama series are not real is like a dream,another world with some extravagant love, hatred, happiness and sadness, and most of it is make no sens and unreasonable but enjoyable

the genre of drama that irritate me is revenge drama, exception for some more realistic like giants with some happy funny situations, but drama like east of eden with protagonist tortured from the first to the last ep, how the mentally ill person that will enjoy watching this genre, frustration after frustration not a single happy moment, in my dropped list I have 3 drama and are the some revenge irritating series, some revenge drama was bearable and enjoyable like giants and The Incarnation of Money .. in resume I can't recommend this genre

I actually KNOW women like that, which is why watching it in a drama ticks me off so much. >_<
