K-Dramas with strong female characters

While Korean dramas are known for their hot oppas and kilig plotlines, there's usually a strong heroine at the helm of all that kilig.
Korean dramas have a way of telling inspiring stories through the portrayal of distinct yet relatable characters who rise above the ashes and pull through adversities.
Characters ranging from skilled women from the Joseon Dynasty to modern-day career women are depicted in many dramas. Just like many women, they show vulnerabilities and weaknesses. But with every setback these feisty female characters take things in stride and overcome the challenges. Their breakthrough success stories motivate K-drama fans to power through anything and believe in their strength as women.
Dramas such as Doctors, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, Fight For My Way, Descendants of the Sun, My Golden Life, It's Okay to Not Be Okay, among others show strong female lead characters who show exemplary resilience.
Let's pay homage to the female characters who portray the strong and independent 21st woman who can motivate every fan girl's heart.
