1. if the female lead wears glasses and doesn't has many friends, she is either ugly or a nerd.
2. weak female leads: maybe this my opinion/mindset that if the female lead is shown ugly/nerd, they are weak AF. they'll get bullied, called out as things.
examples: Im Ju Kyung from True Beauty. according to me, she would be one of the most weak female characters i've ever seen and these instances prove so: 1. she being bullied for being ugly. wtf! she never chose to be ugly! and her not taking any actions against this UGH! and just going to a random rooftop to commit a big mistake like hurting herself.
3. forced kisses. *ewww*
4. second female leads shown as homewreckers/bad women. the only dramas that have done a great job in breaking this stereotype would be- descendants of the sun, my roommate is a gumiho, the beauty inside.
5. HOMOPHOBIA. homosexual characters always being portrayed as "FUNNY" or "COMEDIC." nope bro! gimme a new drama for the couple!!!!!
