Most leads in korean drama usually have differents background. Start from chaebol, attorney, PD, CEO of companies, teacher, musician, doctors, police, surgeon, chef, director, barista, singer, dancer, writer, and many more.
All those occupation in drama, somewhat increase viewers knowledge on the occupation itself. At least, that is what happens to me. Especially when the lead’s job is one of a kind job or a rare one out there.

Nowadays, we are spoiled by korean dramas with storyline based on webtoon.
It was like a treat for both fans, webtoon and kdramas. The anticipation on how the actor and actress portrayed the webtoon character could bring the drama into success or failed.
As an avid reader of comics, manga, and webtoon, I pretty much enjoyed all kdramas based on them.
Especially those with funny, comical, fantasy, easy cheesy, and lovey dovey on. Although I don’t mind with the serious or dark one, at all.
So, here are some korean drama aka kdrama air in 2019, which I enjoyed wating them
1. Extraordinary you
Based on the webcomic series“July Found by Chance”by Moo Ryoo viacomic.daum.com.
It is a very entertaining drama with lots of hillarious Dan Oh moment. All the cast are such eye candies and quite match with the webtoon character.
Watching this drama after you read the webtoon is like watching the webtoon came to life, so unreal.
2. Tale of nokdu
Based on webcomic “Nokdujeon” by Hye Jin Yang viacomic.naver.com.
It is a funny and non stereotype kind of drama. Setting in historical era where a man pretend to be a woman instead.
Loving this drama for Kim So Hyun with her new character. I just love her acting here.
Just like its title, the story revolve around a market with all of its unique employee. If you are looking for drama with eye candies cast then it might not your cup of tea.
4. Stranger from hell
Based on webcomic of “Stranger from hell” same name byKimYongKi viawebtoon.naver.net
At first, I was excited to see the cast and the promising story since I don’t see hint of love line here. Furthermore, I haven’t read the webtoon, yet.
But then, it was as scary as hell, just like its title. Somehow, I couldn’t forget Lee Dong Wook psychopath scary smiley face afterward.
5. Love alarm Based on the webtoon “Love Alarm”byChunGyeYoung viawebtoon.daum.net.
It was the most hype drama since netflix is involved. The webtoon itself is aso a huge hit. So, no wonder if this drama widely known and unbelievable popular as in viewers calls for season 2.
6. Save me season 2 Based on the Korean manhwa/webtoon“Out of the World”by Jo Geum San via “comic.daum.com“. It’s the second season ofSave Me (Season 1).
It was kind of dark story. I Haven’t read the webtoon but I really like the drama. Especially Save Me season 1.
7. Item Based on the webtoon “Item” byMinHyung via “kakao.com“.
Truthfully, I’ve been keeping this drama in my watch list. So, I still don’t have any opinion about this drama. But, I heldmy hope high.
8. Kingdom Based on webcomic series“Land of the Gods”, which was authored Writer Kim Eun Hee and drawn by Yang Kyung Il.
Been fostering myself to be brave and watch this drama. Maybe, next time.
Most of the time, korean drama was full of cliche story line. Where as the female lead mostly are candy type, cinderella type, or ordinary housewife. In the opposite, the male lead are strong type, rich type, cool type, or tsundere type.
But, if you are a kdrama fans by the bone who have been watched hundreds of kdrama, then definitely you will came across dramas with a different stereotype. Kind of drama that will give you a vibe, “Yes, You go Girl! Finally, A strong personality of Female Lead!”
As many drama out there, here are my 10 favorite korean drama which absolutely make me fell in love with the female lead, rather than the male lead. Even though in some cases, I just love them both, equally.
The female lead in this drama are absolutely my kind of woman. A strong, smart, witty, funny, and not your typical ‘princess type.” Her strong personality, I believe, is also the main reason why the lead male fell in love at the first place.
I have been enjoying this drama start from the first episode till the end. One of the best drama I ever watched.
This drama was extremely popular for its story line which touched “bullying” theme. But for me, the main reason I love this drama is because the strong personality of some of the female leads. A strong and reliable housewifes that we could look up to.
I am so happy to see Park Shin Hye got a character that showed how strong a woman should be. A beautiful doctor who is skillful in martial art and pretty independent in life was very encouraging to see.
This, is also one of the best drama in my opinion. The story line revolve in the life of 3 beautiful woman in their thirty. Three beautiful woman with their own strong and unique personality. How they handled problems in their life, how to achieve their career also love life, and a strong bond of friendship. They made us, woman, wanted to have a life just like them.
If you are into a romantic comedy kind of drama with a unique story line and break all the stereotype out there, maybe this is one of the best choice.
The female lead, who is a weight lifter (very unique, right) fell in love with a swimmer. Their love story somewhat very refreshing as they kind of switch their role all throughout the drama.
For example, it was the female lead who is stronger than the male lead, literally. It was her too, that protected or being use to protect the male lead.
So, if you look for a lovey-dovey moment where the male lead are very cool and protected the girl all the time, this one is not your cup of tea.
Hahaha. Sorry, somehow I got to laugh everytime I remember this drama. The story line is absolutely hillarious and unbelieveable comical.
Where most of the time, a man is stronger than the woman and being a superhero, this drama showed us reverse. The female lead is literally a superhero with a superpower where as the male is just an ordinary person.
One of those drama about ‘family’ life. If you are into a light happy drama, this one is absolutely a BIG NO.
The female lead is originally a strong woman, but not until she got constant abused from her own husband. This drama showed us how a strong person, turned into a very weak one, then tried her hardest to get back to how she was used to be, even stronger for the sake of her daughter and her own happiness. She fight back.
A must-watch drama for its rare story line in a kdramaland.
Despite of the fact that the male lead is as strong as the female lead, this drama has every right to get into my list.
Not only for the reason of the strong personality of the female lead, this drama was actually literally one of the best out there. The very reason are because of it cost high budget, great editing and effect, a skillful actor and actress, from a well known writer, and a rare background.
Kim Tae Ri character has shown me what kind of strong woman in her era, and I was captivated by her all through out the drama.
A 2019 most hype and popular drama in and out of Korea. IU sucessfully portrayed a very strong, rich, cold yet funny, and independent woman ‘or ghost’ through whole episodes.
Her elegant and sophisticated appearance along with her comical expression that could relate to any of us are indeed very entertaining to watch.
In this drama, the female lead has a very strong personality, despite her weakness over her mother’s death. She is smart, rich, looked arrogant and cold, all the character we mainly seen in a male lead of a drama.
She sometimes looks like a bad ass rich woman who make us cringe with her attitude. But hey, that is why I officially loving this drama.
Well, that’s it! My 10 favorite drama with a strong personality of the female lead that I enjoyed watching.
Not long ago, I decided to give a break with TVN dramas because of one hell of rollercoaster and a bit painful journey with their dramas, such as Reply 1988 and Cheese In The Trap.
Actually, they are very good dramas. It just somehow, along the way, there were so many things involved that make me think, “Aaah too bad, it could have been a great dramas ever.”
Anyway, I guess that just me being disappointed and hard to move on. Since I heard that Eric Mun comeback to kdramaland with Seo Hyun Jin, I really anticipate for it.
I’ve known him since he is in Shinhwa and fell in love more when he play Super Rookie alongside Han Ga In. So, I can’t not really wait.
But then, it will be in TVN. Darn! But, for the love of Eric, I decided to open my heart again for TVN. Well, I always love TVN for their dramas and Music and Drama OST.
But for me, I knew from the start that I will love this drama and believe it will be another good journey.
Let’s see, Kim Mi Kyung, my favorite actress which involved in many great dramas (The Heirs, Yong Pal, Can You Hear My Heart). Kim Ji Suk which I known from his role in Cheongdamdong Alice and Ye Ji Won from the latest Page Turner drama.
As for the story, definitely refreshing, the whole family is entertaining. Not to mention, the idea that Eric is a sound producer, make it very interesting. The drama emphasize about sound a lot which a new knowledge and experience for drama viewers like me.
I am so convince that it will be a funny, romantic, and warm journey to the end.
Just like the OST and BGM they had offered so far. A catchy, upbeat, warm, mellow song and music which now filling my playlist altogether with CITT OST, Goodbye Mr. Black OST, Beautiful Gong Shim OST, Coldplay, Adele and Shawn Mendez.

Another kdramas in my waiting list for 2016 is finally airing, Descendants of the Sun. Really curious of how it will be since the writer is the great Kim Eun Sook.
While Song Joong Ki, well, first time I saw him was in Triple. And this is his new drama after serving his nation in Military. So, who is not excited to watch him again after 2 years, right.
One more thing, this drama shooting is already ended aka pre-produced, which is I believe, just like Cheese in The Trap, the cinematography and the editing or the scene showing will be just perfect since they have time to make it the best they can.
After watching their first 2 episodes, I know I have been fallen in love. And fortunately, it aired during the time I felt down because of the lack of JungSeol moment in Cheese In The Trap. Somehow, it lifted my kdramas spirit up.
The drama kinda reminds me of “Tour of Duty” (a drama aired back in the eighties. It’s about war, friendship, military, also love line between a Liutenant and a doctor. What a memories).

Definitely in love with this drama calledCheese In The Trap. Wondering a lot, giggling nonstop, and enjoying a lot the whole time watching. Fall in love with Hong Seol while swooning over Yoo Jung and In Ho.
Interesting story.
Well, what can you expect, this drama is based on Line webtoon, so I’m pretty sure that it will be quite funny, hilarious, cute, heartwarming and also a lit bit mysterious.
Based on the original webtoon with the same title by “Soon Ggi” which was published via “Naver Online” from 2010-July-07.
Perfect cast.
There is no doubt that the director and producer did their best to cast the actors and actresses. They were all like some kind of people who came out from the comic book. They are perfectly suit for the character, IMHO.
Especially for Hong Seol character. I just love how Kim Go Eun perfectly portrayed her.
Her natural beauty, her quirkiness, her nervousness, her gesture, her voice, her cute monolog, her outfit, her smile, is just perfect for the role. I am officialy her fan since then.
Beautiful Cinematography.
Since the drama has been filmed before it airs, I think the production staff put their maximal efforts to do the editing, to make the drama looks so beautiful in its own way.
I love how they show the scene of Yoo Jung and Seoul in the campus near the stairs when they stared to each other, or when Yoo Jung silently following Seoul from behind after she had a hard time during presentation. It just beautiful.
Refreshing and addicting OST.
Somehow, I love almost all music or Original Soundtrack from dramas airs on TVN. Somehow, they always offered different kinds of music. At first, I hardly know the singer since it pretty much not a worldwide idol out there.
But that what make it so refreshing. Repeatedly listen to it just because the beat, the tune, the song are all perfect fit for the drama.
That College Campus Look.
Actually, watch this drama make me sob just a little. Thinking back on how I look during my college campus day. Oh my dear, I am not even look a tiny bit like them all. Can I turn back the time puhleeees.
How can’t I be swoon over of Yoo Jung sophisticated style, somehow look simple, classic, and casual. In love with Hong Seol comfortable and warm outfit.
Last but not least, sporty Eun taek and girly Bo Ra style will surely make your college day look brighter. At least brighter than I do before.
So, if you haven’t watch this drama, I suggest you start now.
And when watching and reading webtoon is not enough, why don’t you join Cheese In The Trap family in soompi, I bet you’ll get fast update and many interesting fact about this Cheese In The trap drama, not to mention, you’ll find new friends who is as crazy as you are. At least it help you lessen the suffering of waiting next episode to come.
Here come my newest addiction. After immerse into the story of Na Bong Sun and Chef Kang in the amazing drama called Oh My Ghostess (also known as Oh My Ghost), finally I can move on to another drama. Thanks God, Yong Pal is coming to the rescue.
Yong Pal is a Korean drama about a doctor named Kim Tae Hyun (played by the handsome and tall Joo Won) who is a very skillful surgeon.
At day, he works in Hospital while at night he did a house call for gangster. And the sole reason is because he desperately need money to pay the loan shark and also to pay for her sister dialysis (she is very sick).
But I think, Yong pal is really love to be a doctor from the bottom of his heart. Because for whatever reason or status, he will definitely help his patients. And he don’t care with other’s opinion about him.
He then meets Han Yeo Jin (Kim Tae Hee), a ‘princess’ who is in deep sleep at the hospital.
She kind of a sleeping beauty waiting for his prince which none other than Yong Pal. And that is where all the story began.
I really really love this drama. That is why I’m following this currently airing drama. Usually, I am the type who will wait until the drama ends.
But for Yong Pal, I patiently wait for the next episode to be aired. The action, intense, and emotion portrayed by the actors are amazing.
The Original Soundtrack, oh the OST is dragged me more into this drama.
Here is the list of the OST:
1. The One – To My Love ( OST Part 1)
2. James Brown – I feel Good (episode 3, when Yong Pal do the make over for his looks)
2. Yong Jun Hyung and Heo Ga Yoon – Nightmare (OST Part 2)
3. Westlife – Angel (episode 7, when Tae Hyun play a song from his phone for Yeo Jin)
We have seen lots of Manga, Manhwa (Korean Manga), Webtoon, or Webcomic made into live action dramas in many countries especially countries in Asia.
Sometimes, these drama is better than the original itself. But, there are also some that really out of our expectation and made us stop watching after few episodes.
The good thing about these kinds of dramas are, we already know the story so we won’t be tortured to wait next episode when it airs. Also, we can imagine all the cast looks like and how would they act.
The bad thing is we already had our own imagination and expectation about the story and the cast, so if it not fit into ours, then somehow it will ruin the drama.
Here are 25 Kdrama from manga/manhwa/webtoon/webcomic up to the year of 2015 I have tried to enjoy. Although I must say, I am not quite enjoy all of them. Since I drop off some of the drama after few episode.
1. Boys Over Flowers
From the manga and anime hana Yori Dango by Yoko Kamio.
2. City Hunter
From the manga and anime City Hunter by Tsukasa Hojo.
3. Cantabile Tomorrow
From the manga and anime Nodame Contabile by Tomoko Ninomiya.
4. Playful Kiss
From the manga and anime Itazura na Kiss Kaoru Tada.
5. Flower Boys Next Door
From the webtoon I Watch Him Every Day by Yoo Hyun Sook
6. Mary Stayed Out All Night
From the webtoon Maerineun Uibakjoong by Won Soo Yeon.
This is one of kdrama that has been on my list. Why? Because I like Kim So Hyun acting since I watch her first drama * this noona is really your fan, hehe * Although I’m not that young anymore, but I guess there is nothing wrong for me to follow this drama. In fact, I really need to watch this kind of drama so I gain more knowledge about how youngster live their life nowadays. I am very sure it is very different from mine back then.
The first 3 episode is satisfying, at least for me. And the soundtrack, really catch my ears attention. Will try to compile all the OST here. I trully hope that all the OST will be as energizing as the drama plot and the cast.
