Role Reversal (RR)

Here I will only include titles I watched (either ongoing, completed, or dropped) and my thoughts on them related to RR. I've often been disappointed by RR representation in RR-tagged/recced dramas so I'm taking the liberty of going through as many as I can (find) and offering my thoughts on them so it'll hopefully save someone some time or expectations. (ツ)

For a complete list of RR dramas, check out This One by Ree. (Also these tags: Gender Role Reversal, Warm Man/Cold Woman, & Matriarchy).

If you have any RR recs feel free to let me know either in a pm or comment!

Role Reversal (RR) meaning: Where the traditional m/w relationship roles are reversed. These can vary greatly in what kinds and to which degrees

Organised from most RR to least (in my opinion). Includes non-romantic RR too (e.g. cool & protective sisters, stay at home fathers, etc)

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️You will probably find some spoilers down below, I'm not holding back :P

101. The Gate of Renewal

Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes

So Far so RR. FL is an excellent martial artist. She's a badass who fights like a demon and she's HELLA strong. Meanwhile ML is a weak trickster who can't fight at all and relies on his smarts or others (usually FL) to save/protect him. She saves him multiple times and manhandles him plenty. She teases him and he's both intrigued by her but also scared.
TLDR: Strong FL x Weak ML, Badass FL, Martial Artist FL, Smart ML, Brains ML x Brawns FL, FL saves ML, Flirty/Teasing FL

Much like Season 1 it takes place in a matriarchy and we got peacock-core ML slaying as always. Somehow even more lacklustre with the RR than the previous season tho T_T FL is dumber than ever but she's physically strong so yay... ML lost his physical strength so she does end up having to save him sometimes which is something. SML became more puppy-like in this season and his relationship with SFL is giving rich elite woman/devoted guard, lol.
