We get dramas by the truckload with the handsome male lead falling for the average looking female lead dynamic. I know it's because it's supposed to play up to some fantasy drama writers think all women want to see, but I'm kinda tired of it.
Now what I'm wondering is if there are reversals of this? I want to see a drama targeted towards women where the male lead is just a normal dude. He's not revered as this super handsome prize that the female lead somehow managed to win and I'd prefer it if the female lead was the more conventionally attractive one.
Also, please don't bite my head off for this. I know beauty is subjective. There were many dramas where the female lead was put down for her looks as if she was somehow "average" and not up to the guy's standards but I personally found her stunning and more attractive than the ML (ex. Boss and Me. How the hell the writers expected us to find Zhao Li Ying anything other than gorgeous is beyond me). I'm not saying the actors in these roles are average (or whatever average even means), I'm saying that's how it's portrayed in the drama.
