Stuff you can watch w/o turning off your misogyny alerts

Wether it's about women or not. There are great female characters in here, lead and supporting cast. (I'll ignore minor sexism, such as "harem style" proportions as long as the rest is alright)

Mostly korean, japanese 

No specific order

Do recommend if you like :)

    The relationship seems healthy, the female leads boundaries are respected.

    The characters could have been more fleshed out but that concerns all characters, I think. Even so the characters are portrayed authentic.

    There's a crush on the sidelines I didn't get, but that's all I have to complain about.

    Strong and independant characters who overcome traumatic events, grow, seem human. They have their own agender, their own storyline. It's realistic.

    The romance is non abusive in my opinion. If You're super critical you might say he's stalking her for a while and disrespects her privacy (technically he does) but it's not in the context of their relationship and it's not a habit. The relationship seems mature and healthy.

    They are pretty independant and authentic. Turns out the lead is pretty important to the story as well.

    The romance is alright. Not abusive.

    The female lead is alright. She's pretty strong but girly as well. It's not the best from a feminist standpoint but totally watchable.

    She's the only woman/ girl who has been properly characterised tho

    This deserves a mention because of the supporting female roles. They are pretty awesome and strong women. There are female bodyguards as well!

    The lead is alright, does her own stuff but needs to be saved as well. Saves the male lead too tho.

  • Hello Monster

    While there's only few women in this drama the lead can take care of herself.

    It's been ages since I've watched this but I remember the female cast as amazing.

    A great villain, a great heroine, great actresses as well. Need to watch this again tho, to say anything more.

    And following seasons.

    Balsa is a strong and authentic woman who is involved in all kinds of intrigues while protecting her charges. Other supporting characters are great as well.

    There are good women, evil women, indifferent women...

    There's only one woman I think (who is part of the main cast), but she's great. The drama in general is full of an amazing cast and is wonderfully written. A lot of victims are women, some are perpetrators.

    The women of this drama are not the focus. However they are human, independant and real. The drama is based on a real story and I'm sure there's much more to know about her, but it's still enlightening to watch. It's a realistic drama that gives us insight on japanese culture.

    About a woman who dresses as a boy in order to learn painting. I'm not sure about the end, it's been ages... There was smth I didn't like about this but I can't remember.

    The main characters grow and learn to protect and accept their boundaries.

    The romance is at long last not too cliché.
