specific genre -- fem lead is super good/talented at something

hey guys!! I really love a certain type of show/story and I only just thought of asking about it.

Do you know of any dramas where the main female lead is really good at smth like through hard work/talent and it's a key plot feature?

so to give some examples of stories like that I can only offer up manga... but like Skip Beat (acting) or Oresama Teacher (strongest fighter) or Kitchen Princess even

The closest drama I can think of that I've seen was kind of like in Jealousy Incarnate where she's pretty good at being an announcer and works really hard for it
Trot Lovers was kind of similar but not really bc there's not as much emphasis on the work itself! 

It's kinda specific but if you know any dramas (japanese, korean, chinese, taiwanese, whatever) like that let me know!

Painter of the Wind - girl improves painting skill through working with her teacher
Nodame Cantabile - pianist
Taereung National Village - archer in Olympic training village

I second Nodame Cantabile

And also recommend:

Ms. Temper and Nam Jung Gi

Weightlifting fairy

Voice 

Watch Baby faced beauty starring Jang Na ra and Chou Daniel.. she becomes a fashion designer with her boss and colleague chasing her 

Scarlet Heart (Chinese), female lead is good at just about everything she does.

Doctor X (Japanese) super talented female surgeon

Surgeons (Chinese) female lead is also very talented, but the drama is a bit more realistic than Dr X :)

Gochisousan (Japanese asadora) she is very good at cooking

I second Nodame Cantabile

And also recommend:

Ms. Temper and Nam Jung Gi

Weightlifting fairy

Voice 

I re-watched Ms. Temper and Nam Jung Gi and my opinion of it was higher. It has grown on me because when it was airing I thought it was only an okay show.

I Do, I Do involves an established heel designer and office setting.

38 Task Force - It's an ensemble cast with 2 men who are the 'leads' but some of the women are talented/respected in their fields and the show is about what they all do.

Wild Romance - She's a bodyguard hired to protect a baseball player.

I'm a huge Ha Ji won fan so I would throw in King2Hearts  because she's a soldier but the drama itself isn't that good unless you like the idea of modern kingdom stuff (like Goong but more action instead of romance).

I second Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, When a Snail Falls in Love, Moon Lovers, and Love O2O.
