Let me put it this way.

Men think about sex multiple times an hour. That's pretty much what I can post without being too explicit.

The dramas do not need to portray reality but when every ML's in every Cdrama is basically same where in they are not showing any attraction of any females except FL, then you have a characterization issue.

Like men.

Any one who has ever interacted with men, from when they puberty to their teenage years to their early adulthood etc would immediately know the Cdrama ML's are fake men.

If they had some variety mixed with these men who seem pure, that would have changed my opinion.

Can you recall one ML in Cdrama history who would look at a women and has sexual attraction?
FL's don't have these kind of characterization issues. They do appreciate men with good looks and even show some kind of attraction to hot men.
The ML's in cdramas never are shown looking at women and appreciating them.

we are discussing Cdramas.
but I will check the list. My limited experience with Japanese dramas is very good. Characters are diverse enough to keep your interest.

Watch 3 of them and in none of them does the ML is shown to have the kind of friendship or interactions the FL has in this drama with her besties.

it's basically the story of every Cdrama ML.

They all have traumas or some disease that somehow affect their interactions with opposite sex.
The FL's though, never seem to have these kinds of issues in Cdramas.

When you watch enough dramas, it becomes very clear why they have ML with these kinds of unbelievable story lines....it's intentional. They want the ML devoid of any kind of deep relationship with any woman other than the FL. To achieve that, these dramas invent all kinds of BS.

ok, here is a challenge.

name dramas where the ML had 2 girls as besties and he would go on dinners with them and have a casual friendly relationship with them...like the only FL has in this drama.
If you can't find 2 female besties, why not show a drama with 1 female bestie with similar kind of casual, easy and friendly relationship that FL has in this drama with her besties.

Agree with some of your points but my main contention was pretty much in the first post I made.

that the ML's characterization in Cdramas needs lot of work.
Right now the ML's are not portrayed right in the drama as a viwer, these men are confusing to comprehend, simply because they don't behave like men.

Agree with you.
When Cdramas portrays ML's as asexual, Bi, gay, trans etc, I would be cheering them for doing so.

Unfortunately I have nver seen a Cdrama portray ML as such and I can discuss only what they have portrayed on screen - the ML's are pretty much fake men.

nothing to with any phobia but a very obvious observation when watching these men portraying as ML's.
They show zero sexual attraction to women. Pretty sure Sino men are sexually attracted to women.
So, any comparison of these ML's to sino men is pretty much insulting to sino men.

Well, the ML in this drama is pretty much a mature male and he is shown to be a pure or may be Eunuch.

but then all Cdrama ML's come across as pure or Eunuch.
Pretty confusing actually with them having less hair on their face than the FL's and more make up.

I thought only Cdrama FL's surround themselves with pure virgin males. in fact these males are so pure that the only woman they make eye contact with is the FL.
That's how pure these Cdrama ML's are.

These ML's don't have any kinds of bonds with any women.

Another Cdrama with a big turd as ML.

The ML is supposed to be in 30's, very handsome and very successful firefighter and get this, even the dog he has is a male.
The first and last woman he encounters in his life is the FL.

on other hand, the FL has 2 male besties, the ML as the guy she chooses and host of other man surrounding her.

It's so unreal that in Cdramas ML's never have any meaningful relations with women other than the FL.
It was cringy watching the ML get teased about a girl, like these guys are in high school.

As expected, a dumb show.
the ML was very crappy.

The FL fared better.

CTO's in product based companies work 30 hours a day. These are positions where they are practically working round the clock without a day off.
And our ML leaves a strategy meeting to talk to the FL who he is trying to woo.
Any CTO being that unprofessional would be fired on the spot.

Probably the writer wanted to convey that the ML would sell his own mommy to make FL happy.
He is like every other ML in every other Cdrama with romance in it.
You know...the ML whose tongue is permanently attached to the boot of the FL.

The characters and the main ark of the story is same.

The background where the story plays out is different, that's all.

I have watched couple more episodes.
You probably watched lot more episodes. Let me ask you this...Do you know anything about ML's past girlfriends?

The FL is same, with past relationships and career oriented. Would always choose her own career over ML.
She always has an ex or 'other guy' who will be hovering around her from 1st to last episode.
The same kind of ML, who would sacrifice everything for the FL, who for most of the drama would be shown as barely caring for the guy, while having other things as her priority.
We would be shown in great detail about FL's past relationships and even the ML would get to know them in great details.
While we will never know in similar details about ML's past romances. in fact in most dramas, he would be a pure virgin who never dated anyone. I would no be surprised if that the case in this one either.

And let's not get into how stupid, shitty and illogical the whole story is.
ML is a CTO of a major company and he seems to have all the time in the world to woo FL. In real world CTO's would probably have fixed time to take a pee, that's how insanely busy they are. but here, our guy seems to be doing anything but work.

episode 1 and it's a complete dejavu.

exactly similar to 'she and her perfect husband'.
These guys did not even bother to change the characters by 1%

the FL and ex lovers
the pure ML who falls for the FL hard and simps her.

the same jealousy from ML
and the same 'I can't keep distance from my ex' FL

Episode 10 was a blast.

It still has major character inconsistencies but the over all tone and thrilling aspects of the drama really shine.

the actor playing ML has such ease with his acting.
wonder why he has not acted in more dramas.

Another Kdrama which starts off with women casually thrashing a man.

This one has a woman and a girl casually thrashing a young boy until he bleeds.
Just for gender equality and shit, can we have a drama where a grown man is casually thrashing a young girl shown as fun and stuff?

in Kdramas, any woman projected as modern and strong is mostly a loud mouthed, violent and garbage woman.
It's really pity that Kdramas seem to under the misapprehension that those are the qualities a strong and modern woman should have...

I stopped watching the drama at the point where the casual beating happens with neither woman showing sympathy or remorse.

The synopsis sound very similar to 'she and her perfect husband'.
Even the ML and FL characters seem similar.
There is also ex of FL who is in the story.
