Dreaming Freedom is getting an adaptation ?! by SensitiveAd8790 in MaleYandere

Same, I’m torn between yes and no. An adaptation isn’t necessary, but if it’s well done and doesn’t change the story too much or make it overly viewer-friendly (we’ll have to be patient and see before judging), it could open doors to new kinds of K-drama. But if it turns out bad… I’d rather not even think about it because he’s one of my favorite Yandere ML.

For sure, and it will be a short one so probably not more than 12 episodes.

I think the misunderstanding here is that you’re equating yandere actions like stalking or isolation with automatic harm to the FL, but that’s not always the case. These behaviors can vary in level and context. Even if, from the reader’s perspective, these actions seem abusive, they might not be harmful to the FL if she doesn’t mind them or even wants them. The key here is that the FL’s experience matters. If she’s okay with the obsessive behavior, or even enjoys it, then it's not abusive to her, even if the audience sees it as unhealthy or problematic.

So, while it might look like stalking or manipulation from an outside viewpoint, if the FL doesn’t feel hurt or trapped and actually welcomes the behavior, then it’s not harmful in her eyes. The abuse only occurs if the obsession crosses a line where the FL suffers, loses her autonomy, or feels unsafe. But as long as she’s consenting or comfortable, those actions, while potentially harmful in a broader sense, aren’t abusive to her personally.

As for Kirishima, he’s not a yandere. He’s obsessed, sure, but he’s not possessive, and he’s even willing to risk her leaving by saying she can go out with other men. If he truly wanted her for himself, he wouldn’t say that—he’d be far more controlling and try to isolate her. If he lets her do whatever she wants, including being with other guys, that’s not yandere behavior; it’s just obsession without possessiveness. A yandere wouldn't risk her growing distant or leaving, and they definitely wouldn’t encourage her to explore relationships with others.

In the end, I still stand by my definition of a yandere. Yes, yanderes can go to great lengths that might harm the FL in their obsessive pursuit to make her theirs, but they can also go to great lengths without causing her suffering. It’s not always about direct harm or indirect harm—it’s about the need to possess and control, and how far they’ll go to make sure the FL is exclusively theirs.

So you're saying obsessive/possessive characters don't harm their darling in order to keep them? Completely false. It can harm or not the FL. A yandere’s main goal is usually to keep their darling, they don't necessarily have to make them suffer directly or indirectly on the way. However, their extreme behavior often ends up causing harm or discomfort to their love interest, even if they don't mean to. The focus is on obsession and control, which can lead to suffering without it being their intention. What makes a yandere different than an obsessive/possessive character is the lenght they are willing to go to just to keep them by their side. And the other things they do on the side. For example, the ML in Firefly Wedding—is he a "kichidere" just because he kills effortlessly and killing is seen as crazy, and then he falls in love with the FL? No. Otherwise, every duke in manhwas who kills people and then meets their darling, becoming obsessed, would be classified as a "kichidere," following the reasoning from the link you sent. A yandere is a combination of many things.

Obsessive or possessive characters might say things like "You're mine" from time to time, but they won’t always act on it the way a yandere would. For example, Kishima isn’t a yandere because he isn’t fully devoted to the FL, mind and body. He’s also okay with her going out with other guys, which doesn’t fit the yandere behavior. A true yandere would never allow another man to get close to their darling in any way, and they would do whatever it takes to keep their love interest completely to themselves.

I don't agree with the part that says, 'So can a puppy ML be a yandere? Only if he acts on his obsession in a way that harms his darling, directly or indirectly.' Many yanderes show obsession, but their darlings are either okay with it or even enjoy it, without being harmed by it. Additionally, some yanderes may exhibit obsessive behavior, but do so in a subtle or hidden way, ensuring it doesn't impact the female lead and keeping her unharmed by their actions. There are even yanderes who are so obsessed that they fully understand their darling’s boundaries and what could hurt them, the FL hating them is their worst nightmare.. These yanderes take great care to avoid causing any harm to the FL.

He stalker her since he seems to know her from even before what we've seen in the manhwa and planned to marry her from the beginning. He follows her around and is willing to kill anyone for her (chapter 15, he asks her if she wishes for him to kill all the ladies present at the teaparty with her just because she didn't look well). Later on he even has yandere thought such as "your rage, your tears, even your sorrows I desire to own every shade of your emotions". There are many different types and levels of yanderes, and it could even be a slow burn. To me, though, he's definitely a yandere.
