Of course it is wrong. I can name a dozen Cdramsa and Kdramas in last 6 months where the FL physically abuses ML.

Point being, this is pretty much the norm in Kdramas and Cdramas.

I have made numerous posts on how this violence by FL on ML is perverse, especially as these dramas make light of that said violence.

Take out those scenes of thrashing and you have a very nice story.
But for some reason the writers of these dramas pretty much have these kinds of physical assaults.
when nothing makes logical sense, the only reason is always the simplest one. The viewers like these scenes where the ML in spite of getting thrashed by the FL still loves her - thats probably what the writers want to convey.

The reverse though never happens,
There is not a single drama where the ML thrashing the crap out of FL and the FL keeps loving him.

So, catharsis is the only word that comes to my mind, we don't have to like it but thats what makes most sense.

understood that recently.

But boy the men in Cdramas, especially the leads suck.
They are so bad at being men.

My first few Cdramas, I thought the ML's had impotency or some sexual issues.
That's how fake they came across.

This actually gets worse in fantasy Cdramas.
The ML is Eternal Love, he was probably the simpiest, wimpiest and vomit inducing ML ever. He was literally crawling at FL feet and licking them through out the drama.

the idea of a handsome, rich, popular and successful 25 year old man who has never liked a women or looked at women is fakest Cdrama concept.
In reality, these kind of guys would be shagging a new girl every day.

This is a Cdrama, get on with the program of FL's physically abusing ML's.

It's catharsis for Cdrama viewers to watch men getting beaten up by women & bonus points if it's the FL abusing ML and he just takes the abuse with a whimper.

This one, I ignored the red flags and the drama is very very good.

Just think of FL thrashing ML's in these dramas as BDSM and it should be fine.

Every Cdrama ML is a simp.
There are numerous Cdramas where the ML simping was outright cringe. You had to be on drugs to watch that kind of simping with straight face. These ML's practically are spineless and crawl at the feet of FL, often times licking the feet.

Looks like that's the preferred ML's by viewers in Cdramas.
Simpy, spineless, very pure and very virgin. Until they meet the FL, the only thing their pecker was used for was urinating and shaken only once after it.

With a wife like that, no wonder ML turned into a demon.

That gangster lady was evil but the way it ended for her was heart breaking.
She truly fell for the ML hook, line and sinker.

The romance in Ep 10 between the gangster lady and ML is the best romance in Kdramas in years.

Very wholesome and heartfelt.

The FL was fine in first episode,
but with each passing episode she gt dumber and dumber.

I actually thought this drama is a parody, like Naked Gun movies.
unfortunately this drama is not a parody and the FL is probably the dumbest one in Kdrama history.

Not even midway mark and even with FF button, this is an unbearable drama, unless one wants to see an extremely stupid FL trying her best to get all her team mates killed twice each episode.

no kissing but intimate scenes are there.

It really does not matter whether there were kissing or intimate scenes.
One should not start dating their ex lover's sibling.

Cdramas keep throwing these shitty FL's who seem to think men of ML's family are her backups.

Brilliant drama.

Hooked from start to finish.

Drama is good and interesting.

FL is gorgeous and well rounded.
ML is meh....same boring Cdrama ML in these kinds of dramas. Few episodes in, there is just one expression on his face. Hoping to see a second expression before the drama ends.

The blame is all around.
FL never set boundaries. That guy literally follows her everywhere and injects into her life anytime he wanted. She was like meh...

ML was a simp. Any other man would have punched the 2ML long back or told the FL to get her act straight. The other guy was openly making moves on his girl.....any guy with little self respect would have gone to town on both of them.

This drama gets better and better as the episodes go on.

You are hung up on specifics from this drama,

I am only pointing at the generic trend in Kdramas.

There are half a dozen Kdramas released in last few months where a cheating male character was physically thrashed, verbally abused and publicly humiliated, all at the same time in some cases.
There are ZERO kdramas where something like this happened to a cheating female character.

THAT is a pattern.

That is all I am pointing at.

the FL is garbage.

I can imagine the trashy SML going after the garbage
but the ML is a nice guy. The writers never convinced me why a normal guy like that would fall for such garbage.

If the writers intent was to have the FL have sexual interactions with multiple guys, you succeeded but it just turned the FL into garbage.

even the horrible mother and daughter were turned into sympathetic ones,
as if all the things they did in the drama were minor kids stuff.

You are just ignoring the basic point I am making.

It's about how the male cheaters are treated vs how female cheaters are treated in Kdramas.

The one who seems to be projecting something is you.

My single point was about how male cheaters get physically thrashed, verbally assaulted and publicly shamed VS female cheaters never being put through the same in Kdramas.

There...
That's the single point I am making.
Nothing else.

complain?

it's more a discussion.

It's a drama with same shit being repeated in quite a few recent Kdramas.

Again, it's not about just this drama.
It's a general observation made where in every male cheater in Kdramas gets physically assaulted and abused.
Whereas the female cheaters are never put through similar process.

Just calling it out as I see it.
It seems as though the Kdrama makers are saying if you are a female, you can have your reasons to cheat and it's ok.
The same dramas seem to say if you are man and you cheat, you are better off dead, no matter the reason or circumstances.

Again, it's not about just this drama, this one is just another of the dozen kdramas in last few months with similar 'it's not that big deal if you are a female cheater' theme.

My point was never about the ML's ex in this drama.
It is also not about the ML in this drama.

It is about the general tone of Kdramas.
the cheating men are shown as deserving physical abuse, verbal abuse and dignity lost due to publicly being exposed.
The cheating women in any Kdrama have never through remotely anything that is showing happening to cheating males.

That was the point & this drama predictably following the same pattern is yet another take on cheating women in Kdrama being shown sympathetic.

In fact I can name 5 dramas that are released in last 3 months where cheating men always got thrashed and cheating women are shown sympathetic or even someone who need to be understood.

Made same posts in those dramas as well.
Either tone down the thrashing, abuses and public humiliation on men who cheat or at least in one odd case, do the same for cheating women.

I have no issues with cheating men being portrayed the way they are in Kdramas and in some instances they do deserve the beating etc etc.

I am only asking for parity, show the men getting angry similar to the women and show some emotion.
The only emotion from men in Kdramas who got cheated is to go to a corner and weep or try to understand why the got cheated on and empathize with the cheater.

In fact in some dramas, they go as far as to show the men being cheated on as funny.
