Question re: Performative Badassery Women in K-Dramas: What is in your opinion, a list of the dramas that fall into this trope the most? -kdramaxoxo
Okay are you ready for a long list 😭 these are just (some) of the dramas I had in mind and indirectly referenced when I wrote it. I included the the ones that I remember for really hating bc it was so bad. But there’s plenty more.
The King: Eternal Monarch
Suspicious Partner
Black
Crash Landing on You (when in Seoul)
Kill it
Welcome 2 Life
A Korean Odyssey
Cinderella & the Four Knights
My Sassy Girl (tv version)

You’ll notice if you’ve watched any of these that it’s definitely a romance-linked problem a lot of the time. Even in cases like “Kill It” where it’s more implied romance the problem still comes up.
