Need a guide on which K-drama shows have the best plots featuring empowered female characters? Read on!
Find the best version of yourself like Kim Mi-so from “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim”
It may be hard to find courage to leave a situation when you no longer feel fulfilled but take your cues from Kim Mi-so--she’s the perfect secretary of a very demanding and spoiled boss and yet when the situation no longer works for her, she decided that she’ll quit and take that time to reassess about what she really wants to do with her life. In the same way, those who are longing to figure things out and take charge of your life, you may want to keep tabs on this self-love queen.
Never be afraid of admitting you’re wrong and setting it right a la No
Seung-hye from “Sky Castle”
No Seung-hye may have started out like other mothers in Sky
Castle—demanding and perfectionist kind of parent. But as she learns how
destructive her husband’s stance is to her children, she decides to stand up
against him and put her children’s happiness a priority. Her journey towards
self-realization reminds women who may be going through the same struggles that
they can change things around, and do things better.
Find your inner strength like Do Bong-soon from “Strong Woman Do
Bong-soon”
Don't be fooled by her petite frame and nerdy personality, Do Bong-soon wields
superhuman physical strength that can terrify any living wrestler. But what is
remarkable is how she uses her power to help other people suffering injustice
like a bus driver being harassed by gangsters while working toward her dream of
creating her own video game where she is the main character because there’s
always time to do a good deed while chasing your dreams.
Always choose to do the right thing like Kang Kwon-joo from “Voice
4”
Kang Kwon-joo is a person with a very strong sense of justice and uses her enhanced hearing abilities to solve crimes, even one from her own childhood. But despite all the heartbreaking revelations and heinous crimes, Kang Kwon-joo reminds her golden team (and herself) that one does not have to become a monster to beat one, a very important lesson to live by.
Never let society define your happiness a la Bae Ta-mi from
“Search: WWW”
Women
finding success in only one of two things (say, career versus romance) is a tired
story. Bae Ta-mi, a headstrong director of a web portal company proves
throughout the show that she, too, can be as passionate and hardworking when it
comes to matters of the heart. She basically lives the mantra: Why choose one
if you can be good at both?
Stand up and keep going a la Choi Ae-ra from "Fight for My
Way"
Choi Ae-ra’s dream is to become a TV/sports/radio announcer.
After so many attempts, she faced a lot of rejections and landed a front desk
job at a local mall. Despite the failures, she remains optimistic—facing her
every day with perseverance and learning one life lesson after another. No hopia vibes ever from this go-getter!
