Drama's with strong characters that I love

I'm a sucker for dramas with strong characters who don't need to to fully rely on a partner, so with that in mind here's a list of drama's that I adore with well written, endearingly resolute characters. 

If you disagree with my choices or would like to recommend a drama then please let me know in the comments- It would be nice to hear what others think :))

    I seriously loved this drama, and I think the reason I loved it so much was the lead Kouno Etsuko, played by Ishihara Satomi. She was fun, confident and kind- she worked hard at her job and really was just an overall great person throughout the drama. Many of the dramas on this list are here because of a character who went though hardship and had to overcome it, being strong though out the process- but you don't have to go through hardship to display strength, you can just do so in everyday life. That is what this character was like- she was just strong, not because of what she had to go through in the drama, but just because she was.

    Note: The FL in this drama doesn't always come across as incredibly strong, but she really is- don't be fooled by the way they portray her sometimes :))

    The FL in this is an absolute bad ass. She know what she wants and will get it through hard work and persistence. I recommend this drama to absolutely EVERYBODY

    I watched this drama quite a while ago and can't remember a whole heap about it- but I do remember that the FL was particularly lovable and strong in the face of adversity. 

  • When the Camellia Blooms

    I was hesitant to put this drama on the list as tbh I did get a bit over the FL by the end of it- BUT when I look back on everything the FL went through over the course of her life I feel like her whining was justified.
