Drama with a FL that you admire...

Maybe it's her level-headedness, badass-ness, intelligence, career, strength... whatever you want.  I'm trying to find a drama where you really like and root for the main characters. I struggle to appreciate characters that go crazy over a guy, trip/cry about 7 times an episode,  or lack common-sense.  

For me : Story of Ming Lan, Lawless Attorney, Princess Agents, Search: WWW, Graceful Family. 

This is similar to asking for a strong FL, but it has to be a character that you really appreciate & admire in a "wow, she's really cool" kind of way...please?! xx

 iDrama:

HOTEL DEL LUNA 

AGE OF YOUTH SEASON 1

Woah that was fast hehe... I loved Age of Youth, but haven't gotten round to Hotel Del Luna... THANK YOU!! :)

Rookie Historian.. she is brave and indipendent. 

I'm glad someone else is looking for the same kind of dramas I am. Like I just want a story where the FL can just be a bad ass and stay consistently bad ass throughout the story lol 

I have a lot :) but if I were to narrow down to my top 5 strong and admirable female leads then they would be:

1. Kahoko from Kahogo No Kahoko - The female lead was VERY dependent on her parents and had relied on them for all her life but she starts to become an independent young lady after meeting a hardworking guy.

2. Luo Zi Jun from The First Half of my Life - This is a story of a rich house wife whose life completely changed after her husband decides to divorce her. The way she faces all the problems that come across her way  head on and picks herself up after hitting rock-bottom is simply admirable. This is probably one of my all time favourite dramas. 

3. Junko from Hajimete Koi Wo Shita Hi Ni Yomu Hanashi - The female lead lead here rediscovers herself and starts to enjoy her choice of career after meeting a young man. 

4. Wei Ying Luo from The Yanxi Palace - The female lead here is real badass and strong in every way possible. Plus, an admirable trait about her is that she doesn't take crap from anyone and stays true to herself always.

5. Yoon Ji So from When My Love Blooms (Currently airing) - I can't say much about this one as yet since its still airing but within the first 4 episodes, one can see how the FL here isn't a weakling and always stands up herself even if someone is trying to pull her down. 

I tried my level best to keep the explanations as spoiler free as I can :D 

Empress Ki: she is a very intelligent and strong (mentally and physically) character. She knows her priorities and she doesn't put her love life first.
