Typical patriarchal and sexist drama that is ingrained with sexism

Good things first, I simply love the cast of the drama and how there are instances where women working after marriage and giving birth is normalised and the attempt of the drama to normalise divorce and dysfunctional families. I loved how it has moved away from the traditional notion of the family. I liked it's attempt to address the issue of breast cancer.
What I don't like is the sheer insensitivity the drama has had on various topics that have been present in the society since time immemorial. It's very evident that the characters and the story was written by men without consulting even a single woman. For starters, no woman in her right mind would continue to like a person who gives her shit or doesn't treat her well. Any woman would prefer to be with a man who knows how to take care of himself, helps with the household chores and treats her well rather than being with an entitled, arrogant manchild who can't do anything by himself. But since this drama is written by well men who want to be with women who take care of them just like their mothers (or who suffer from Oedipus complex) the woman chases an arrogant and entitled manchild who doesn't value her or treat her well. This also promotes the most toxic mentality that "if a guy doesn't treat you well, he likes you" and "women should leave behind their dignity and self-respect for the man they love".
These reasons ruined what would have been the most amazing rom com korean dramas of all time.
