i hope there will be a follow up for other countries but it's harder since not most dramas are tagged with this tag.

i know a lot of researches regarding that issue but i am now talking about dramas. cause if you want to talk real life then that's a whole thing.
in case of kdramas, the romance genre doesn't promote that but for the fans who already have these aspirations then they'll see what they want. but for the dramas i mentioned the girls didn't need them, they survived without them even when they were in over their heads (i.e Korean odyssey, she needed the help but when he left she still learned to survive on her won and made a fortune). if dramas like secret garden (the ml left his family and fortune to be with her and she stayed a stunt woman and gave up nothing), when the camellia blooms (a single mother raising her child despite the social stigma), and search www (three amazing women with three amazing men who gave no excuses and one of them even helped the man reach his potential)exist in dramaland, then i can't say they want women to stay weak cause they are inspiring them to be the best they can and not give up anything for anyone cause there should be better men out there.
P.s i do not believe women who want to get married be house wife are weak cause it's a life choice and it's a hard life as long as they aren't choosing it cause of their gender (men can be house husbands too) and vice versa women who don't want to get married and have kids aren't cold or rude.

i recommenced this drama so much, that i annoyed people. the writing of the plots and the characters was beyond it's time

when the camellia blooms.

all about romance had so many flaws so i didn't add it, there were other's i wanted to mention for 2013 but i decided to keep it short. i wanted to talk about empress ki as the exception for these 2 years but i had to cut it editing since this article about dramas representing the years not a list of them . :) hope you liked the article.

as i said, painful decisions had to be made. but now that you listed all these roles i notice that she's consistent with the melo theme.

2019 was a great year for strong women, i picked 4 dramas with very different and unique women but there were much much more than that.

kim sam soon is before the 2010s. marriage not dating is great example but as i said i had to make the article shorter than it was cause it was to long, and as mentioned in the 2013/14 they introduced her as a bit of rude thick skinned though she was rightfully so and they made her very lovable and understandable, btw it's one of my favorite dramas.

coffee prince was mentioned in the honorary list but i remembered it's a 2007 drama :p.
www had great side couples. even if the main lacked chemistry, the other two were on fire.

wanted to include it too. 2019 was a great year for strong women

finally :)
great article. even though horror isn't my thing but i found some choices i could risk trying.

she's the definition of awesome

i am not sure but i think you want to say that you don't like dramas ending with both of them together?! and it sends you the message that women need men??? but it's more like they both come together so they both need each other.

it's romance, so these were stories about love. wanting to be with someone and wanting to be loved is a valid human emotion it is not something that degrades anyone regardless of their gender. if that need consumes the person and leads them to make harmful relationship choices be it emotionally or physically toxic relationship then you would be right. but most of these women weren't faking being strong, they were trying and fighting in a world designed against them. and they didn't need the men or looked for them, they happened upon them in their fighting journey. also both leads help and contribute in each other's journey and character development. no one of them is perfect they are both humans that care for each other. :)

of course being alone is better than a bad relationship. i just think these are romance dramas, they are about women finding the good men and finding their love story. plus in the recent years kdramas showed women already being happy on their won then finding love and being happy with them. check the 2019 i mentioned, also in secret garden, Chicago typewriter, kmhm, etc

being practical isn't bad, and i really think female characters came a long way in kdramas. i mean for example we can't say dong baek was rude or one dimensional at all.

these women built each other :)

that year really was different.

thank you. same :)

thanks :)

i think jang ha na would fit but i didn't see this family dramas and that is a loooong one. i wanted to watch it though but i heard it was draggy even for a family drama.
