Possessive ML that are borderline abusive (SPOILERS
Possessive MLs that are borderline abusive. Note: Some of the characters here are criminals (some commit rape, assault, and verbal and physical abuse) I did not expect that when I made this list so be aware that some dramas are the romanticization of crimes against women.
-
1. Desejo de Verão
Taiwanese Drama - 2010, 14 episodes
He is abusive. Does not understand the concept of NO but there is a lot of character development in this story. The SML was interesting but also insecure so, the FL does not have much choice.
-
2. Nobre, Meu Amor
Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes
I like this drama a lot but the ML in this drama has a poor understanding of the word NO and thank you. I did not see character development for ML but still a nice story.
I did not like the last episode, was a bit contrived.
-
3. Pessoa Atualizada
Taiwanese Drama - 2016, 17 episodes
The ML is super abusive and the Drama portrayed this as "helping" her. There were moments of hope for the ML but his inability to have a mature way of communication make him into a horrible abusive character.
I am not sure if this will have character development at some point or he will go from being mean to nice for no good reason because I could not finish.
-
4. Queijo na Ratoeira
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
It is quite difficult to explain how discosting the ML is in this Drama. It was so bad that I thought he was going to be the villain. I could not take and I like rough around the edges but this is plain abrasive.
The FL is also a horrible character, things happen to her.
All around BAD
-
5. You Are My Sunshine
Chinese Movie - 2015
I love this movie. He is so incredibly sexy and the FL is lovely. He is a bit controlling and crazy but you can see his love. Work for me.
-
6. My Heart Twinkle Twinkle
Korean Drama - 2015, 26 episodes
I have no idea how the writers decided this man to be the main character and not a villain. The FL was so pathetic that I could not find any redeeming characteristic on her.
-
7. Meu Raio de Sol
Chinese Drama - 2015, 32 episodes
In the drama, there is more character development and you can see the ML being more calm and understanding. FL was the main disappointment, she does not seem to evolve much but they have chemistry and the storyline is nice.
-
8. Concerto de Outono
Taiwanese Drama - 2009, 21 episodes
The ML is mean at the beginning and at the end but it does not feel that it is an overwell characteristic. He has a lot of positive aspects and he is nice. FL is also strong and interesting. I love the FL because she is different from your usual.
-
9. Amor Bem Intencionado
Chinese Drama - 2019, 20 episodes
I have seem ridiculous ways to get a girlfriend, this might be the worst one but they have a lot of chemistry and ML grow as a person so at the end not so bad.
-
10. Amor Incondicional
Chinese Drama - 2013, 9 episodes
The level of Toxicity is radio active. If you like ML that are twisted this is your movie.
-
11. Yah Leum Chan
Thai Drama - 2014, 13 episodes
The acting is horrific. Mostly the ML but she is not much better. Also, his rage seems to be fake, over the top. I will be hones, I felt that the actor was trying not to laugh every time his character was angry.
The plot was contrive.
Bad all around.
-
12. O Mundo Me Deve Um Primeiro Amor
Chinese Drama - 2019, 24 episodes
-
13. Estar Com Você
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
The ML is so patronising and annoying sometimes that sound more like a father than a boyfriend. Put me off quite a bit. It is not a sexy dominante guy.
7/10
-
14. Quando Nós Casarmos
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
The ML is not constantly abusing but it is at the beginning.
I will give 5/10
-
15. Olá, Sr. Gu
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
The ML is dominating but I feel it is coming from insecurity. It is a nice TV show and it does not feel aggressive or mean.

-
17. O Tempo Me Ensina a Amar

-
22. Sealed With A Kiss
Chinese Drama - 2011, 28 episodes
This drama did not age well. Taking abuse like that is too much. I could not finish watching.
-
23. The Overbearing Love
Chinese Movie - 2018
It is Overbearing on the title so you might the ML is on the strong side dominating but it is not really.
-
24. Case Primeiro, Então Se Apaixone
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
-
25. More and More Loves You
Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes
This is a quite abusive relationship, the type of drama that gives you the idea that it is a reasoner the abuse, a justification. This was too much for me.

29. Se Nunca Te Amei
Chinese Drama - 2022, 24 episodes
I was quite shocked by this show. It was too much abuse and the end is a 180-degree change. it is so wrong.
This is family violence and I do not condone this. Watch your own phycological risk.

Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
This is hard to watch, even so it is short. Toxic is an understatement
-
48. Wong Wien Hua Jai
Thai Drama - 2021, 18 episodes
This is wrong, like another level of toxic. Not only the ML (who needs a category for himself) the sister, the FL's family is horrific. Note. I finished because I could not believe how wrong her family was, how you can do this to your own flesh and blood.
-

It is a bit difficult to watch at times but he is not as bad as other ML in this list
-
56. Prom Pissawat
Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
This is BAD. From rape to child manipulation and kidnapping of a minor (parental alienation syndrome ). Family pressure. Also, note that Thai people do not want this type of drama to continue and there is a petition attached to this production to be boycotted. Another NOTE: there is no Character development. He kidnapped the child in the LAST episode. it is impressive how disconnected the writers of this show were.
-
57. Série U-Prince: O Vaqueiro Bonito
Thai Drama - 2016, 8 episodes
There is a bit of redemption at the end but the abusive behaviour at the beginning is so wrong that I stoped me liking the ML
-
58. Sawan Biang
Thai Drama - 2008, 12 episodes
Another drama where the ML seems more like a villan than a hero. If you like this I suggest to go to therapy as soon as possible.

-
60. Uma Esposa Inevitável
Thai Drama - 2021, 15 episodes

domineering and controlling but he changes throughout the show and at the end he is a nice, mature and round character.
-

domineering and controlling but he changes throughout the show and at the end he is a nice, mature and round character.
-
65. Quando o amor floresce
Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes
He is toxic but not as much as some of the ML in this list, so it is easy to forget the couple of things that land the ML in this list are pretty terrible.
-
66. Su Yu
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
He is very mild but totally selfcentre and unaware.
-
67. A vingança da criada
Chinese Drama - 2022, 30 episodes

-
68. Ning An Ru Meng
Chinese Drama - 2023, 38 episodes
The ML is domineering and crazy but the story is really different so you can see why he is cautious of her. Also there is a lot character development in this story,
-
69. Story of Kunning Palace Extra

same

another domineering ML who does not know how to express his love and ends up being aggressive.
-
71. Lost Track of Time Special

This story is different. The ML is more like a SML and the SML is the main character so he is pretty horrible but he is a villain so..
-
72. Adeus Minha Princesa
Chinese Drama - 2019, 52 episodes
I found this character sadistic at times. I did not hate it because it was congruent with the plot line but it was hard to watch. Sometimes I think screen writers use the idea of a confused person or tormented as an excuse for violence. this is the case.
-
73. Novoland: Pearl Eclipse
Chinese Drama - 2021, 48 episodes
The second couple is super toxic and the sml is cruel at times that makes me want to run away but it is congruent with the times and the story...
