Korean Dramas!

By RuzlatPublished 8 months ago 4 min read

There is nothing more powerful than a woman who loves with her whole heart — and refuses to give up on it. In K-dramas, we watch women fall in love all the time, but it's the ones who fight for that love — in the face of heartbreak, betrayal, distance, and even time — that truly stay with us. These are not passive love interests. These are women who choose love, protect it, and seek it out even when it hurts them.

Whether it's defying expectations, confronting the past, or standing tall in the face of rejection, the heroines in these K-dramas are unforgettable. If you’ve ever loved someone deeply, or longed to be loved back with the same fire — these 12 Korean dramas will speak directly to your soul.

1. The Glory (2022–2023)

Moon Dong-eun does not fight for romantic love — she fights for justice. But the manner in which she loves herself and her dignity makes her story one of the strongest. Watching her slowly open her heart to love, after having suffered, is devastating. Her love is quiet but firm.

2. Queen for Seven Days (2017)

Shin Chae-kyung's love for Lee Yeok transcends betrayal, political strife, and a destiny that relentlessly tears them apart. She gives up her throne, her liberty, and her aspirations — but never her love for him. Her flaw is her heartbreak, and her love is the stuff of legend.

3. Encounter (2018)

Cha Soo-hyun, a divorced woman burdened by family tradition, falls for a younger man who represents freedom. She fights society's harsh judgment and her own fear to keep that love. Classy but rebellious, she teaches us that love is worth the fight — even when it's inconvenient.

4. Love in the Moonlight (2016)

Hong Ra-on may be hiding her identity as a woman in the palace, but her love for Crown Prince Lee Yeong never falters. She risks everything for that love — her life, her freedom, her truth. Her courage is soft but fearless.

5. My Lovely Liar (2023)

Mok Sol-hee has the ability to hear lies — a talent that has made her a loner over the years. However, when she falls for a man with a tragic history, she chooses to believe him even when she cannot determine whether he is lying. Her ability to believe in love despite the risk is what makes her a fighter.

6. Crash Landing on You (2019–2020)

Yoon Se-ri is a South Korean heiress who literally crash-lands into love. But it's her journey back to Ri Jeong-hyeok that shows how strong she is. She jeopardizes her life, her country, and her future — all because her love is genuine, and she will not let it go.

Yoo Na-bi is not dumb enough to fall for the likes of Jae-eon. But fall for him she does. Her battle is not just for love — but for herself. She battles the attraction, the confusion, and the pain, and emerges the other side stronger. Sometimes, battling for love means knowing when to give up.
