I decided to rewatch The King's Woman. MMMM.
A male lead who starts the first episode by putting a bloody head into the bed of his mother and her lover:

Proceeds to preside over a massacre:

And then pulls the sword on and almost kills (but eventually exiles) his own mother:

No current drama with that ML (especially ML not being a fictional person but Qin Shi Huang himself) would ever pass censorship now.
But, more to the point, what I love about this drama is, forget the term "red flag" beloved by the kids nowadays - this man is shown a bona fide ambitious, capable, magnetic monster. No coy flag terms needed. He's totally fit to be a period ruler, but as a romantic choice, oh boy! (His troops also murder FL's grandpa on their conquering rampage, but he's not personally involved, so that is the least of his problems.)
Between that first ep, the historical QSH and the fact that this is a prequel of sorts to Legend of Qin, which follows FL's son and where QSH is the villain (!), everything about this screams "this is a not a man who will mellow and reform due to the love of a good woman." But the drama is so brilliant because it uses the viewers' own yearning for a proper romance narrative, their experience with the default narratives being "ruthless man reforms for love" and the fact that not only does the OTP have great chemistry, but that ZBB, who as ML gives the best performance of his career imo, does portray the ML as someone who is impossibly magnetic and impossibly intense and utterly, completely in love with Dilraba's FL, to lead on the viewers to go "but what if...maybe...maybe?!" Only to then slap you with that infamous ending. (One of my favorite, most logical tragic endings of all time.)
God, this drama is SO GOOD!

ETA: I always thought that ending was both a perfect punishment and a perfect test. Because she knew, KNEW, he would kill her if she came at him with a weapon. But the thing he has to live with is not just the knowledge she merely used him to commit suicide by cop because she flipped the dagger at the last moment making it clear she never planned to hurt him, but the knowledge that it was also a test by her, wasn't it? If he loved her enough to be willing to risk being hurt/killed by her, to trust her, she'd be alive, he'd be unhurt, and I think this would have given them another chance - she'd have known he loved her above himself even when it looked like her love turned to hate, and I think this really would have enabled them to be happy in the future. But, as she knew he would, he failed that test. And he has to live not just with the knowledge that he killed the woman he loved and who never intended to harm him, but with the knowledge that he took his future of happiness away himself.

Absolutely LOVE when characters gaze at someone and suddenly see them differently. It's such a great human thing to be able to look at someone 1000 times and it's the same, familiar person every time.
But then they look at them for the 1001st time and suddenly it's different and everything has changed.

Seizure whump
Live Surgery Room ep5
His daughter was scolding him and he got really agitated then he had a seizure .. he's not an abusive father, he was just sick
He's not one of the main characters but I thought his whump was very good

The way they fight is AMAZING!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I take back my recent comments that choking is having a moment in cdramas nowadays. This is from years ago and here is choking in glorious technicolor.
Tumblr media
It's interesting that he's letting her keep the kid, which is not even a question for a modern person but for someone in his position and his personality just speaks about how obsessed he is. (Interesting question - would they had a greater chance for happiness if she gave birth to a daughter? I don't think so tbh. Ultimately, the deal breaker was he was always a monster intent on ruling in blood and she could not live complicit. But maybe it would have taken longer to reach the breaking point.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Crazy alert!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the most jaw dropping things in this entire jaw dropping sequence is how his choking transforms into his trying to caress her. Good Lord.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dude, dude, DUDEEEE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then he shoves her on the bed and climbs on top. Young man, even if she fancied you, this is not the style of foreplay appealing to majority of women. Not that he had to care, as king. But like - show some finesse.
Tumblr media
I started laughing. Dude, you blackmailed her with the life of her boyfriend and have been threatening and manhandling her ever since she got here. LIKE!!! The stunning lack of self-awareness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way she never has any give!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly, she has SUCH balls but also this is so a ship dynamic I go wild for in fiction (in rl, pls pls call the cops and run.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bwahahahaha. Tbh, I wasn't sure even that would kill his desire for...ahem...conquest.
Tumblr media
When you have to say "at least he's not a rapist of the woman he loves," you know you've not only hit rock bottom in terms of decency and sanity of your ML, but you are tunneling through to magma.
And then he leaves her, only to go to some other random concubine's room and shove her on the bed with no preliminaries, to work off the lust he's worked up but left unsatisfied with our FL:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even if this wasn't Qin Shi Huang but some fictional monarch, censors would never let this drama air now, and if they kept him being QSH, I think they'd rather literally die than release it. Yet this was aired no problem in 2017, on TV no less. What a difference (and not a good one), less than a decade makes.
