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!
