RR Highlights | Favorite FLs/FMCs
I made this challenge, and I'm ngl... I'm struggling. Tell me why there were so many great FLs this year? T_T To make this easier on myself, I'm not gonna include FLs from titles I rewatched.
Definitely noticed a pattern for me this year. Most are from historical cdramas... China has been really doing it for me this year, so I'm not all that surprised, but I was expecting some more kdramas, tbh.
In no particular order save for #1.

Cheng Manyi from "A Talented Girl Grows Up" (吾家才女初长成)
Of course, my #1 had to be this absolute gentlewoman. She has some hiccups in the earlier episodes, but after she falls in love with her man, it's full-on chivalry on her part.
What I loved about her is the fact that she is so open and delighted at the prospect of taking charge and doesn't throw her weight around, having to pretend. She's a badass and she knows it, he knows it, and those are the only ones that matter.
I felt so seen when she fantasized about romancing her husband, and it was all her wooing him and (sometimes literally) sweeping him off his feet. She even makes good of a lot of these fantasies, and this is probably some of the best virago representation I've seen in my life. Especially in a cdrama? Sheesh.

Xiao Mingzhao from Prince Consort Can't Wait to Divorce (驸马每天都想和离)
At long last, a FL in a matriarchy drama that actually behaves like a woman born and raised in a matriarchy would. This FL was a breath of FRESH air. Think the FL from Oh My General vibes. She's so whipped on her husband, it's crazy. I love how unapologetic she is about it, too. She doesn't shy away from public displays of affection, but also a lot of private displays of affection ;)
Her having to chase him after he made up his mind about getting her to divorce him was just too damn good.
Lu Yuan from An Ancient Love Song (古相思曲)
Talk about a woman who knows how to yearn. Absolute crazy levels of down-badism. She waited a lifetime just to see her man a handful of times, y'aaaalllllll- She's so ML-coded!
A powerful empress that's fearless, bold, protective, and still loving. Nothing will stand in her way.

Lin Wanyue from Scent of New Dawn (暗香来)
Vengeful and ruthless yet gentle and kind to her man? The perfect woman DOES exist. I really liked how she didn't need ML, but having him helped (mostly emotionally, lol). She wasn't a damsel in distress, and she didn't weaponize her femininity to get her revenge. Instead, she played dirty, baring her fangs until she could avenge both herself and her man.

Li Rong from The Princess Royal (度华年)
A FL that gets a lot of heat for being 'mean' and 'bitchy', when in reality she's just an actually flawed woman trying to make the most of her second chance at life. I heard only bad things about her, so I came into this drama with reservations, only to find her character to be relatable, genuine, and powerful as hell.
In the sea of aloof badasses and silly quirky FLs, she stands out with complexities and flaws past what female protagonists are usually permitted. She's strong but still has weaknesses that prevent her from being her best self and she spends the entire drama working on them.
She's also a political powerhouse and a protective badass, which always ranks high for me. The way she's protective of her man? GODDD

O'Dessa Galloway from O'Dessa
Actually crazy how perfectly she represents the virago label. Obsessed with her masc appearance, characterization, and role. She's strong, yes, but in the 'teenager out to save the world' kind of strong. She's not a powerhouse; she isn't physically strong, but she's got spirit and passion, and that's what makes her a compelling and fun character.
She also falls head over heels in love with a beautiful mollis man at first sight and that's the most relatable shit I've ever seen.

Wu Zhen from Moonlit Reunion (子夜归)
If confident glamour were a person, it would be her. She was really giving me rich aunt vibes in the best way (which she is actually). Flamboyant playgirl princess by day and a demon lord by night, she dominates every scene she's in, drawing all attention to her with confidence. I loved how she wasn't embarrassed of her reputation, but rather embraced it and used it to her advantage.
Her constant flirting definitely helped. She's hilarious.

Lee Gang-Hyun from Flex X Cop (재벌X형사)... technically not romance
Wasn't sure if I should include her, but the leads gave me serious "they definitely dated after this" vibes, so I'll include her anyway. Enemies to lovers ML, but as a woman. Again, absolutely serving masculinity. She was incredibly badass and flawed like only men are allowed to be. And just like your run-of-the-mill ML, she warms up to her reluctant partner and runs to save him every time he calls.

Deng Chanyu from Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force (封神第二部:战火西岐) -
WOOOOO bOOOYYY, finally a female general that looks like she could realistically be a general. I mean, just wow, the aura, the badassery, the masculinity, the confidence, and to the cherry on the top? She's an antagonist.

Zhan Qiluo from Na Ge Nan Ren You Cha You Jiao (那个男人又茶又娇)
Badass bar owner. I loved how effortlessly dom and protective she was of ML, even when he was a stranger. Just such a vibe~

Yun Sae-Bom from Happiness (해피니스)
Badass, strong af, protective, and a little crazy. That's the best way to describe her.

Su Ai from In the 1900s... (抢亲九零,小娇夫竟是大院贵公子)
Probably the most smitten hen-pecked FL I've ever seen. Loved seeing her dote on her family and chasing her shy mommy hubby relentlessly.
Sadly I didn't make any GIFs of her yet :(

forever obsessed with detective-police teams
It's actually so nice when there's two guys who love a lady and it's not a romantic love triangle; one of them leans towards familial love. It's great. It's fantastic.
