Role Reversal
Dramas that flip the traditional gender roles or invert the usual cliche drama tropes by gender (for example, CEO woman with working-class man). The FLs in these dramas hold positions of social/economic/physical power that are higher than the ML, and/or they have a strong, aggressive personality.
