Women are more complex than just the "cheerful but naive" characters often portrayed in dramas. As time goes by, Korean dramas present women characters that we can aspire to: women who are tenacious and strong, who are intelligent and excel in their field, and women who support other women. As part of the celebration of International Women's Day and to commemorate all the extraordinary women in our lives, let's take a look at some impressive women in Korean dramas that have appeared in recent years!
10 Super Women Characters in Korean Dramas, Former Delinquent Doctor - Confused Weightlifter Athlete
Korean Drama
Yoo Hye Jung (played by Park Shin Hye) in the drama DOCTORS was once a delinquent in her teenage years due to growing up in an unfavorable environment. As time goes by, she decides to become a great neurosurgeon and works at one of the leading hospitals in South Korea. However, her ability to beat people up remains intact and becomes useful when needed.
In the drama WITCH'S COURT, Ma Yi Deum (played by Jung Ryeo Won) is a smart and charismatic prosecutor with sharp instincts. She is able to gather information from her opponents skillfully and always ensures they dare not misbehave. So cool!
Weightlifting is a sport and profession that gives a masculine impression. Thanks to the struggles of Kim Bok Joo (played by Lee Sung Kyung) in the drama WEIGHTLIFTING FAIRY KIM BOK JOO facing the dilemma between her love for weightlifting and her desire to conform to beauty standards, she eventually finds love and acceptance for herself.
Born with superhuman strength, the main character of STRONG WOMAN DO BONG SOON can lift buses and defeat gangs without breaking a sweat. What's funny is that this superpower is possessed by someone who only needs to show her cuteness to solve problems, namely Do Bong Soon (played by Park Bo Young).
Although appearing like an 'ordinary' woman, Choi Ae Ra (played by Kim Ji Won) in the drama FIGHT FOR MY WAY struggles fiercely and persistently to achieve her dream as a radio broadcaster. Choi Ae Ra, who never gives up despite being hindered by the system, inspires many people.
In the drama MOTHER, which is an adaptation of a Japanese drama with the same title, the concept of the mother's role is portrayed beyond biological ties. Starting from the story of a substitute teacher named Soo Jin (played by Lee Bo Young) who saves and becomes the mother of one of her students who is abused at home, this drama focuses on women and the mother-child relationship, whether biologically connected or not.
HOTEL DEL LUNA tells the story of a woman who doesn't need protection from men. Jang Man Wol (played by IU), the hotel owner, has supernatural powers that enable her to solve various problems on her own. Man Wol's strength also lies in her ability to accept weaknesses and leave the past behind to embrace the future.
The message conveyed by the drama SEARCH: WWW is that strong women support each other instead of bringing each other down. Bae Ta Mi (Im Soo Jung), Cha Hyeon (Lee Da Hee), and Song Ga Kyung (Jeon Hye Jin) help each other in terms of relationships and careers.
Mo Suk Hee (played by Im Soo Hyang), an heir who was exiled to America 15 years ago, returns to Korea with a strong desire to find her mother's killer and break free from the powerful management team. The main character of the drama GRACEFUL FAMILY is firm, intelligent, and persistent, yet still maintains an elegant appearance befitting her title as a boss.
Although the first meeting between Hwang Ha Young (Jin Seo Yeon) and Cha Soo Young (Sooyoung Girls Generation) in the drama TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW is a bit tense, Hwang Ha Young discovers that Cha Soo Young has the ability to remember perfectly and recreate crime scenes. Afterward, these two strong female characters join forces and defeat the villains.
