Favorite TROPES: Possessive/Jealous/Alpha Male Leads
These are usually darker themed shows/movies with OVER THE TOP Male Leads. Possessive. Intense. Stalker-ish Behavior. Abusive. Jealous. Rage-y. Steamy. Slap-Kiss. Women are usually put through a ton of crap and end up *still* falling for the ML. Please leave all your common sense, feminism, and flight-or-fight instinct at the door before beginning these. Not going to lie, these are up my alley when I'm in the mood, but I go in knowing what I'm in for. You've been warned. ^_^
I've personally watched/rated all of these! :)

32. Love is The Best
Chinese Drama - 2013, 33 episodes
I kept seeing this one recommended for being soooo good. No. It was painfully bad plot with mediocre characters and zero character development.
-
33. Sanaeha Sunya Kaen
Thai Drama - 2014, 15 episodes
rape trigger. ridiculous ML and not my favorite FL (she's really pretty though) This show is one of the most frustrating I've ever watched. The ML had major issues.
-
34. Amando, Nunca Esquecendo
Chinese Drama - 2014, 34 episodes
-
35. Roy Lae Sanae Luang
Thai Drama - 2013, 18 episodes
-
36. Kimi ga Kokoro ni Sumitsuita
Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes
not my favorite. 2ML is abusive physically and emotionally, but weirdly emotionally dependent upon FL. J-Dramas are not my usual "style" though so this one was hard to rate.
