Gender reversal role at its finest and I'm digging it!


The women (yes, plural) tackle cliches associated with men, the wall hand, renting a whole place, you name it; all the plain ‘ol drama seduction techniquesused by men.

Yes it includes domineering personality, but the FL pulls it off and it is so entertaining haha. I can't believe she said "should we watch a horror movie so he can jump into my arms?"

She is cute, strong, powerful, fashionable. I didn't even know that was possible. She gave me 'It's okay thats not love' vibes with her fashion sense and acting character. *chefs kiss* While the dude takes a backseat from a dominating perspective/ role, they both don’t lose their ‘identities’ as people would expect. “These type of men are weak and these type of women are unfeminine.” It’s bull.
It is just so natural and shows gender stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. Sex isn’t that fragile, but gendered, its built on prejudice.

Spoiler!
Though, I would have done without the time skip. Yup it came out of nowhere and for 6 years! There is 1 thing I didn’t agree with, but the ‘after’ period is still cute (overloaded with it actually hahaha) and an added character pulled the show through. Not saying much more on that. The other couples in the show also forged hilarious and heartwarming relationships. Tbh I loved the whole cast, the plot, acting. So on point.
