I really tried to like this Drama, which is why I stuck it out for 8/24. But by then I had had more than enough of the ML physically dragging the FL around, locking her in the house, ignoring her views on EVERYTHING, taking control of everything and doing NOTHING for her.

This is a depressingly common setup in C Dramas, godlike ML who can literally do no wrong, and doesn't see anything amiss in treating the FL as his property, a vassal from whom unquestioning instant obedience is his right, and whom he can physically coerce if she doesn't give him the slavish submission that he deserves. It's Tsundere gone nuts, and if that mindset persists through 8 episodes of a 24 episode Drama, it's time to ditch.

If you LIKE the idea of a man dragging a woman around like a plaything, then you might enjoy this Drama. If, on the other hand, you kind of like the idea that a romantic partnership might have at least some SHRED of equity or balance, then this Drama is not for you.
