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.

  • Desejo de Verão

    1. Desejo de Verão

    Taiwanese Drama - 2010, 14 episodes

    10

    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.

  • Nobre, Meu Amor

    2. Nobre, Meu Amor

    Korean Drama - 2015, 20 episodes

    8.0

    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. 

  • Pessoa Atualizada

    3. Pessoa Atualizada

    Taiwanese Drama - 2016, 17 episodes

    1.5

    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.

  • Queijo na Ratoeira

    4. Queijo na Ratoeira

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    1.0

    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

  • You Are My Sunshine

    5. You Are My Sunshine

    Chinese Movie - 2015

    9.5

    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.

  • My Heart Twinkle Twinkle

    6. My Heart Twinkle Twinkle

    Korean Drama - 2015, 26 episodes

    1.0

    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. 

  • Meu Raio de Sol

    7. Meu Raio de Sol

    Chinese Drama - 2015, 32 episodes

    9.0

    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.

  • Concerto de Outono

    8. Concerto de Outono

    Taiwanese Drama - 2009, 21 episodes

    9.0

    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.

  • Amor Bem Intencionado

    9. Amor Bem Intencionado

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 20 episodes

    10

    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.

  • Amor Incondicional

    10. Amor Incondicional

    Chinese Drama - 2013, 9 episodes

    2.0

    The level of Toxicity is radio active. If you like ML that are twisted this is your movie. 

  • Yah Leum Chan

    11. Yah Leum Chan

    Thai Drama - 2014, 13 episodes

    4.0

    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. 

  • O Mundo Me Deve Um Primeiro Amor

    12. O Mundo Me Deve Um Primeiro Amor

    13. Estar Com Você

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    7.0

    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

  • Quando  Nós Casarmos

    14. Quando Nós Casarmos

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes

    7.5

    The ML is not constantly abusing but it is at the beginning. 

    I will give 5/10

  • Olá, Sr. Gu

    15. Olá, Sr. Gu

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 30 episodes

    8.5

    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.

  • The Overbearing Love

    23. The Overbearing Love

    Chinese Movie - 2018

    7.5

    It is Overbearing on the title so you might the ML is on the strong side dominating but it is not really.

  • More and More Loves You

    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.

    I was quite shocked by this show. It was too much abuse and the end is a 180-degree change. it is so wrong.

    Thai Drama - 2021, 18 episodes

    6.5

    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.

  • Prom Pissawat

    56. Prom Pissawat

    Thai Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    2.5

    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.

  • Adeus Minha Princesa

    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.
