I... think it's less that the 'jealous, murderous woman' trope exists, for me, but how it's executed.

One drama I watched, it took about half of the entire story for her to get that far, and you could see all the little pinpricks and frustrations and overwhelming pressure she was under before she flipped. So when she did, it really was a tragedy.

Other dramas... the plot needs a villain so they just make one of the woman Crazy Jealous and don't bother much with why, and it tends to fall a bit flat.


But also, I can see why someone might want to avoid the theme entirely.

I wouldn't mind it so much done as a proper character development arc, but so far I haven't really seen that. It's the second example I see too much of, and it's usually some love triangle where the ML loves the FL but there's another female character who's always loved the ML and gets psycho jealous and tries to take it out on the FL in rather extreme ways, and this cycle is repeated a few times. It's boring as well as plain old disturbing, and I don't really enjoy seeing characters suffer like that.
