Lead females

Hi, pls suggest Chinese, Taiwanese or Hong Kong dramas that have a very smart lead female.

A great example is Ming Lan from Story of Ming Lan or Chu Quao from Princess Agents

If you haven't seen either of those, just list any that fit that descriptions.

Ladies from modern dramas can be included too.

Thanks!

 ahsaaful:

1. An Oriental Odyssey 
2. Cinderella Chef 
3. Story of Yanxi Palace 
4. The Princess Wei Young 

Thanks, will check them out :)

 KingARMY:

Young blood (most recommended)

Snail falls in love

Cold case

Hot blooded Youth ( not the smartest in the series but still good)

Once upon a time in Lingjian Mountain ( tho I don’t like this one)

Thanks! :)

@PerfectMistake

Thanks for the list, love a couple of those already and some are on hold but will finish.

Will check out those I haven't :)

Lee Yo Won specialises in these sorts of roles:

Queen Seondeok

Empire of Gold

Avenger Social Club

Night Light

Different Dreams

Running Mates

Thanks for the recommendations, will keep them in mind. 

Just looking for Cdramas, Taiwanese or from Hong for now, thanks though! :)

I second:

• Story of Yanxi Palace
• Legend of Miyue
• Empress of China
• Princess Agent
• In time with you- (None historical) 
• The Princess Weiyoung - though I feel like I should not recommend because it butchered the novel (different ML, urgh) and it is a plagiarised work. 

• Additional recommendation are from Sun Li's drama :
  • Nothing gold Can Stay 
  • Legend of concubine Zhen huan
  • Auntie Douhie
• And modern dramas with Yao Chen
  • Divorce lawyers
  • All is well
• Most of Liu Tao (Nirvana in Fire, despite it not focused on her) and Zhao Liying.
