FL wears the pants

Dramas where the female lead takes charge of the relationship and the plot while the male lead is more content to follow her and take direction. Kind of a girlboss/house husband vibe in the relationship. This could also mean that the ML is so stupid in love that he'll accept any scraps from the FL while she just lives her life as she likes. 

Regardless of who has more social/economic/political power, I'm talking about FLs who tend to direct the plot, make the decisions, and don't let others (particularly the ML) change their course of action.

(Apologies for the anachronistic phrase in the title, wasn't sure how else to describe it)
