Below I have listed down some common criteria and events you'd notice in rr couples
- Older woman/younger man (not necessarily a RR dynamic but often has the effects)
- Good boy/bad girl
- Female lead has a higher post/authority in work place than male lead (FL is ML's boss)
- FL is physically/magically much more stronger than ML
- ML is nice,shy /FL is crude and outspoken
- ML is soft, clumsy /FL is rowdy and rough
- FL is cold and often rude and has an ice queen-like personality /ML has a warm bubbly princess like personality
- ML blindly trusts and depends on FL and often calls for her help
- ML dresses in a feminine manner/ is a femboy, likes cute and fluffy pink things
- FL approaches and woos ML and takes him off his feet
