I dropped it after half of the 3rd episode [Too much Misogyny]!

I started watching this drama for Wang Yibo, but the misogyny in it was really off-putting. The ML criticizes the FL about how she dresses less conservatively on different occasions when they are just strangers, the FL's best friend or someone makes it seem like a big deal that she's mostly manipulated by a woman "The person you are kneeling to is not even a man but a woman" and what acted as the last straw was the ML's father saying that wanting to earn money/ caring about income is only a woman's opinion "If you always think that money is that important, then it's a woman's opinion." There was also a part where Yibo's character's mother was describing the perfect daughter-in-law for her and that was slightly weird as well, but I felt that making it feel weird was the goal of the producers, so I didn't care too much about that scene.

Look I live in Asia and I've seen way worse in some local dramas but that doesn't make this alright. If someone actually spoke up against these comments in the drama, then I wouldn't have minded them, but everyone in those scenes just 'took it' like it was supposed to be said. The FL actually looked embarrassed on some occasions when the ML indirectly assumed she was a sex-worker and when he said that people will get the wrong idea if they see her. I'll probably watch the scenes with Yibo, but I'm definitely dropping this drama.
