Here are my listt and why, as to the best female lead:
▪Saran from New Tales of a Gisaeng - i love the fact that she not like the usual female leads in kdramaland, the helpless martyred damsel in distress. She has the strength to be offended by the misogynistic actions/words of the male lead and She calls him for those bullshit.
▪Dahyun from 1% of something - many things to love about Dada but mostof all is she can fight her own battles and can puther love rival in her place. When the 2nd lead came to intimidate her, she just states that if the 2nd lead can get the guy from her then for her to go ahead, and if she has some issues with her relationship with the guy then take it up on the guy and not her, cause she could not care less. And when the male lead arrives and the girl tries to escape, she holds her in her seat and ask the guy to choose between the. Epic! Waaaay better than any smackdown ive seen between female leads ever.
▪Mucheng from Autumn Concerto - i love the inner strength and conviction to follow thru with her choices. She is physically and finanvially weak but the way she sta ds by her decisions are awesome.
▪Songyi from You Who Came from the Stars - yup, she is definitely hilarious but more than thatshe knows her strength and weaknesses. And when problems arise and knocks her to her feet, she has the flare to shout to the world that she is Songyi, the superstar and stand with as much confidence as ever.
▪Samsoon in My Name is kim samsoon - she is simply badass
