KDrama Viewers Hypocrisy: Healing is only okay when the man does it?
Please note: Don't focus on my star ratings, as I don't care about the rating system. Focus on the actual text below.A total waste of time.
I expected a fresh story, but it’s literally the exact same plot from a drama released last year 2025 if u know u know😉
, just gender-swapped (the lab owner is now the guy, and the girl is the corporate worker). 8 episodes down, and there is zero character development😑.
In We Are All Trying Here, when the female lead saves a depressed, defeated man, critics and viewers immediately attacked it, calling the male lead 'weak' and 'dependent on the woman's emotional labor.' 🙂
Yet in Sold Out on You, where the male lead acts as the healer and emotional support for the female lead, no one bats an eye.😃
The audience claps for the guy when he heals the girl, praising him as a 'Green Flag/Dream Guy.'
But the moment a woman uses her energy to rebuild a depressed man, they lose their minds🤨
As a woman, I’m obviously not against women, but I absolutely hate this selective hypocrisy. People cheer and clap when a guy plays the healer, but the moment the roles are reversed and a woman does the exact same thing, they get upset and start criticizing. Standards shouldn't change just because of gender
To anyone who values their time: don’t waste it on this recycled plot. Move on to something else

Don’t take the rating seriously, I’m only here to comment ?
The female lead is absolutely not loyal and does not deserve to be called a heroine👎🏻She had zero justification for hiding her identity from her former fiancé when she recognized him at the beginning. Let’s be honest
she was clearly want the king 😏
She kept quiet and left the poor man confused and lost, even though she knew exactly who he was from the start. She chose silence because she wanted the king. She even admitted it herself in one of the episodes during her inner monologue.
How is that heroic? 😂
If the writer had simply resolved their misunderstanding early on, we wouldn’t have needed this frustrating and unnecessary love triangle.
And let’s be real if the roles were reversed and (Lee Shin Won) had forgotten her, everyone would have called him disloyal and heartless.
I couldn’t sympathize with her at all. She doesn’t understand the value of love.
To avoid criticism, the writer suddenly rushed a last-minute romance just so viewers wouldn’t feel too bad for the male lead. That’s weak writing🫢

Wang Guang Ming???
The series hasn’t ended yet, but I wanted to write a comment because something really bothered me.
The storyline of the Wang Guang Ming [Xiao Rou's husband] was unfair.
It was clear that they were living a true, heartfelt love story. Ending the relationship because of a simple misunderstanding and jumping straight to divorce felt very rushed and unjustified.
There is a contradiction, because the couple clearly love each other very much. Naturally, even after what the wife saw, she should know her husband’s character and know that he is not a womanizer. It would have been natural for her to forgive the misunderstanding.
This was the only really bad mistake in the series👎🏻.
Since there are only six episodes left, I hope the scenario will have them get back together, because their divorce storyline was a silly mistake in the script 😂
It was heartbreaking in episode 17 when she left him, because it was obvious that he loves her. He only hid the matter from her because he loves her and didn’t want to upset her over something trivial 🤍.
The end of his story was sad and unsatisfactory🥺.
[my rating is not final, because the series is not over yet]‼️
