Title The Romance of Hua Rong Season 2
You are absolutely right. I for one didn't like season 1 that much (almost dropped watching season 2 because of…
Not at all, very thorough and thoughtful response. Thank you. Yes, I understand your thoughts of the FL. As a male viewer and possibly speaking for most male viewers, I very much liked the FL and her character, to the point of wanting to watch more shows with her as a FL. Just like female viewers look for a traditional ML with strength, courage, confidence, competence, intelligence, integrity, intensity and attractiveness, male viewers also prefer the traditional characteristics of a female character with behavior and personality traits such as nurturance, sensitivity, sweetness, supportiveness, gentleness, warmth, passivity, cooperativeness, expressiveness, modesty, humility, empathy, affection, tenderness, and being emotional, kind, helpful, devoted, and understanding. I assume some female viewers might get annoyed by these traits, maybe out of jealousy or modern views of femininity and feminism, just as some men might not like the ML for the same reasons. But that's highly unlikely because men look up to and strive for these qualities in your typical, traditional ML characters. I love Cdramas and Kdramas, and I guess most Asian drama as it shows more cultural and traditional settings and characters.
