Because to go from being a slave to be the empress and rule the world needs a BADA$$ woman to do that job.

Who wants to see a special force officer who also gonna be the queen of South Korea? *raises both hands*

Because a great story like this needs a female lead as a cop who really plays a cop, thankfully!!! not eye candy for viewers.

4. Mr. Sunshine
Korean Drama - 2018, 24 episodes
I have no words to describe how great she was, we are talking about saving a country here...
She was a beauty, she was grace, she will point a gun in your face :D -
5. Itaewon Class
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
She is 70% sociopath :D but she doesn't need a man to make her rich... she will make him and herself rich!
And she will defend her man like no one!

6. Hyena
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
She isn't a good girl, but certainly not a bad girl either.... She is just cunning,
and a smart lawyer!

7. It's Okay to Not Be Okay
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
She is one of the most interesting, funny, and strong female lead in drama history to me...
she wasn't afraid to do what she wants or express her opinion, take the first step in intimate things between her and her man, nor act like a damsel in distress.
She had her flaws, but doesn't everyone has flaws?
I also liked how she and the male lead helped each other to admit that it's okay to not be okay.
Also, she had a deep voice that makes you go *swoon*

The female lead was strong both in the past and future, by playing a badass sniper during the 1930s Japanese occupation of Korea and playing a hardworking smart woman in the modern-day.

We're all used to see Park Shin-Hye doing the sweet girl next door type of roles, but this role was really different, she was badass, bad girl, and on a revenge mission
some might say it wasn't a masterpiece drama, but to see Park Shin-Hye doing this role was worth watching.
