To be honest, although this could be true potentially, I pretty much doubt it. Most of the dramas that I can think of which have the most annoying female leads in are written by female writers rather than males.
Yoon Ji-ryun, wrote Boys Before Flowers which has Jan Di. Go Eun-nim wrote Playful Kiss which has Ha Ni. Kim Eun-sook wrote A Gentleman's Dignity which has Me Ahri. Hong sisters have a lot of popularity for the 'annoying female syndrome' as well, to be honest.
Not saying that males don't write annoying female characters, there will be (I just can't think of one right now) some but to be honest, I think it's more females who write females as annoying than males. Which I can sorta understand...I, even as a female, can find females pretty annoying to the extent of how dramas portray them sometimes.
(...I'm insulting my own gender. ^^; Sorry all females out there!)
Anyway, for my list I have to agree with the Jan Di, Ha Ni and Me Ahri, but to add to it I really found Ding Jai Yu from Just You annoying. Atop of that, I really could not stand Lee Yul from Goong, who everyone seemed to love, but for some reason, I just couldn't stand him. I don't even know why I couldn't stand him, he was a typical second lead character so he shouldn't have bothered me as much as he did.
