Korean Drama Challenge #3

3. Your favorite female lead character.
In dramaland, a majority of female leads are put into the category of the typical Candy - pure/innocent, hardworking, usually poor. A lot of them are like Cinderella, swept up by rich guys, mostly chaebols. However, there are some exceptions, and those characters are worth cheering for. The character that first came to mind was Park Ha from "Rooftop Prince," with her feisty, spunky attitude. She doesn't have time for nonsense, and although there were times when I was agonizing at her stupidity, she was able to redeem herself by not being the expected noble idiot, the helpless, completely dumb heroine, when she confronted her evil stepsister. Another female character I personally liked was Oh Dal Ja from "Dal Ja's Spring," because she was just really likeable. She wasn't one of those exceptions, and her character was pretty simple, but I liked the way she felt like a real person, and how Chae Rim played her. In that sense, the female leads in "The Woman Who Wants To Marry" and "I Need Romance" can be examples of the type of female characters I seem to like. Hardworking, confident, and relatable careerwomen in their 30s.
