Role Reversal generally pertains to relationships 

where the woman is masculine, dominant, cool, strong, knight in shining armor. 

And the Guy is submissive, soft, cute, weak, princess-like.


Not every RR couple dynamic is similar to one other, there are many variations.

    Japanese Drama - 2009, 12 episodes

    8.0

    THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEGGINING OF ALL RR CONTENT OUT IN THE UNIVERSE. The manga came out in 2006. and i tell you, it spearheaded role reversed romance, femboy, punching gender stereotypes, accepting transgender people (ML's father- ultimately changed into female but through out the series maintained as a guy) all at once

    11. It's Okay to Not Be Okay

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    ONE OF THE FINEST RR OUT THERE.  FL chases ML like crazy. shes cool, open about her feelings, rich af, suffers from mild form of psychopathy (aspd) , rude to others, hyper to ML and is overall extremely domineering character. where as ML is stern but much reserved and acts like a pouting girl most of the time.
    SML (ml's brother) is the best character :)

  • The Rain in Espana

    20. The Rain in Espana

    Filipino Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    THIS SERIES IS NOT RR AT ALL.  Like not at all. BUT, i love how girl chases the ml. its cute and assertive.  i have seen other series where girl chases ml, but its often annoying. 

    but in this one, i love how the fl drops pick up lines. goes ahead herself hitting on the good looking dude. takes the initiative. but also maintains the borderline ML gives out. 

    also, one advice, series will give you 2nd hand embarrassment. or maybe 4th hand because it literally is a wattpad novel adaptation. 

    but since i loved how the girl was the one hitting on the dude in a really cool way, i think it deserves a spot on this list!! it wasn't role reversed like role reversal as we know it, but definitely in some form it was

    ML is, well, um , he surely suffers from empathy disorders, it is noted by the end of the series he is not ASPD (aka psychopath) but has low emotional intellectuality and most likely suffers from alexithymia: aka capable of feeling emotions but unable to recognize which emotion is what. loves his daughter dearly.
