When friendship takes center stage — and women write their own endings
If you’re tired of childish or over-the-top female leads, this drama might just be your antidote. The FL here is mature, intelligent, and beautifully flawed — her tough past left emotional marks, and the story isn’t afraid to explore how those show up in her work, her relationships, and even her inner commentary (yes, she sometimes talks directly to the audience — and it’s brilliant).What makes My Dear Enemy stand out, though, is its focus on women’s lives beyond romance. Three very different women — a career-driven single, a married friend navigating family dynamics, and a younger professional with her own baggage — form the heart of the story. Their bond is strong, messy, supportive, and deeply human.
Instead of the usual tropes where women compete or sacrifice for men, the drama puts friendship, agency, and growth at the center. The men here aren’t idolized as flawless heroes — they’re complex, sometimes deeply flawed — and that only makes the women’s journeys more compelling.
👉 If you want a modern cdrama where female characters are allowed to be real, friendships matter as much as romance, and the storytelling respects your intelligence, My Dear Enemy is one to check off your PTW list.

Empezó mostrando a dos amigas que aparentemente son enemigas pero era algo más profundo y entrañable; ambas se conocen desde la universidad y comparten mucho tiempo juntas a pesar de tener vidas sociales "diferentes"; se apoyan en la dificultad y buscan el bien de la otra. Sus parejas eran una joyita, no eran para nada sinceros con ellas, no las valoraban, pero aparecen también los que si las valoran. Cada episodio era un análisis introspectivo de cada personaje.¿Una drama feminista? No lo creo, trata de las relaciones entre mujeres, amigas, hasta conocidas.
