2016, Netflix, "Noble My Love". I don't remember why I watched it, but it was so bad it was good, so I went looking for others, which led me to Dramafever, when it was a channel on Amazon Prime.
It's a lakorn, so you start out making allowances before the opening credits stop rolling, but I think I'm about done with the whole "woman = object" trope so common in these shows. The first episode has the FL tossed from one male to another as collateral for her family's debt, and by her own Aunt, yet (this vile betrayal is treated as comedy.) The FL gets to have a noble background and a temper, but the only say she has in her own life is to agree or not agree with plans of everyone else's making.
This drama, and "Father is Strange" , are two dramas that you invest in. Each is a delight, with engaging, lovely romances. Both are absolutely worth watching. Combined, it's over a hundred hours of television, but so worth it. After a long day, rest with a couple hours of either drama. So relaxing and dear. (I'm writing about both at the same time because both are happy places for me.)
You're just doing the exact same thing in the opposite direction, Olive.
This is true, but my intention is neutralize down rates, not to manipulate the appeal of the drama so people don't watch it. I hope you can see the difference, Owen.
I'm going to rate this 10 to offset the down rates from people who've seen only one episode, and are down rating for mean reasons. Man, I wish people would stop doing that.
I'm planning to watch this, but not until it finishes airing, because it looks like this could be the same kind of hot mess as "Artificial City", and life is too damn short to put up with that twice.
This is the usual trashy lakorn plot, with an abundance of hair pulling, slapping and evil 2FL, but I watched every episode without hitting the ff once. So entertaining. Got, the ML is delicious, and makes what could have been a completely mediocre show into something compulsively watchable.
If you've watched more than a dozen lakorns, you've seen the FL, probably twice. Here, she's playing the same tired, righteous and put upon character she always plays, so she's nothing special. But who cares?
Your comment is . . . disturbing. Why the specificity about female infidelity? It's only bad if women do it? Also,…
Writing a show where the female characters cheat without losing their limbs, their lives, their families or their bank accounts does not actually mean that the writer is "encouraging" "female" infidelity.
Why are you so particularly irate about "female" infidelity? Feel the same way about male cheaters, do you? Would you be this annoyed if the show was about men who cheat instead?
I avoid movies and dramas about infidelity because (at least in the West), if the woman is the cheater, she has to die/end up in a coma/lose her job, family, business--something huge so that the audience can feel avenged. Heaven forbid that she gets away with cheating, or goes on to have a regular life. Audiences have no toleration whatsoever for unpunished infidelity.
Your comment is . . . disturbing. Why the specificity about female infidelity? It's only bad if women do it? Also, why would you write that you hope her SO cheats on the screenwriter? Did the writer pee in your cornflakes or something?
So irritating.
Peace, love and glory to Ukraine.

Watch the show for Got. So worth it.
You have yourself a nice day.
