Favorite FLs
If I loved a drama then I definitely liked the female lead. This is just a list of my favorites of my favorite FLs.
-

Chinese Drama - 2019, 55 episodes
Qu Xiaofeng played by Peng Xiaoran
-
2. My Mister

"Fighting!"
-
3. My Dearest
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Yoo Gil-chae played by Ahn Eun-jin
One of the most satisfying character arcs I've seen in recent years.
-
4. Coffee Prince
Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes
Go Eun-chan played by Yoon Eun-hye
One of my favorite performances of any character I've ever watched. I love how unapologetically Go Eun-chan lives her life, how loyal and kind she is. She's confident but also struggles with her own insecurities.
My headcanon is that Go Eun-chan is nonbinary.

Laughs in fate's face.

6. Lost You Forever
Chinese Drama - 2023, 39 episodes
Xiao Yao/Wen Xiaoliu played by Yang Zi

7. Love between Fairy and Devil
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Xiao Lanhua played by Yu Shuxin
Sunshine personified ☀️
-
8. The Glory
Chinese Drama - 2025, 30 episodes
Zhuang Hanyan played by Chen Duling
Written to be just as messy and villainous (at times) as a lot of beloved MLs usually are. Her character gives me hope that maybe more imperfect morally grey FLs will make their way into newer cdramas.

9. Our Generation
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
Lin Qile (Yingtao) played by Zhao Jinmai
A FL who loves deeply and fights for those she cares about while also learning to value herself. She's the leader of her friend group, the knight and the heroine of her story.
-
10. Lighter & Princess
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
Zhu Yun played by Zhang Jingyi
The knight to Li Xun's prince.
-
11. Till the End of the Moon
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
Li Susu played by Bai Lu
Ok so, her character could've been written better but I love her regardless. I think it makes for a more interesting and complex character to write Li Susu with so much distrust and hate for Tantai Jin despite him not being the Devil God yet; especially since her only memories of him are from when he massacred her entire sect/loved ones. The conflict and tension within her because she falls in love with the person she's supposed to kill is so fun to watch.
And of course, Bai Lu does an amazing job giving depth to Li Susu when sometimes the writing fails.
-
12. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Cha Ji-won played by Moon Chae-won
It's been so long since I watched this that I don't remember much. I just remember loving how devoted she was to Do Hyun-soo. She was the one to protect him and fight for him and save him and not in a way that erased any other parts of her personality.
-
