That does seem to be the case, unfortunately. Though I'd say that comparatively speaking, The Untamed has less of it than other cdramas I've seen. I couldn't stomach Ashes of Love, Legend of the White Snake (the one on Netflix) and Eternal Love because of the gross gender stereotypes and general weirdness about female characters.

when the reason why this because a show murks all of it's ladies bar one, i wouldn't consider that a point of praise to be honest.

Please note that I did say "comparatively speaking".

how? they're still entirely centered around whatever man they're attached to and then get killed off at some point after having no narrative purpose. i am at a loss as to how that's better than being the literal lead of a show who drives the narrative.

But I'm not comparing the female characters in The Untamed to a hypothetical "literal lead of the show who drives the narrative", I'm comparing them to female characters in other cdramas I've seen... you know, like I stated in my original comment.

I'm not disputing your right to have a beef with how women are portrayed in cdramas. But if you're going to engage me personally on the subject, you should probably read and respond to what I've actually said and not some theoretical argument that you pulled out of thin air.

and i'm disagreeing with you that the women in the untamed are better than the ones in those shows. or that the untamed women are somehow exempt from the 'gross gender role stuff' someone mentioned above.

them not being alive for more than 10 mins is why you think this, they don't get to BE characters before getting offed.

Yes it's inherent in most cultures in the world. We're discussing China where that is also the case. It's not racist to point out China's very real gender issues, just because other countries around the world also have gender issues.
