Women characters no longer wait to be chosen in K-dramas
This year's Bechdel Choice 10 drama series reflect a trend for female characters defined not by their relationships with men, but by their own ambitions, relationships and agency.

It's all winter here, even in August
My heart is running on time, alone on the Snowpiercer
I want to go to the other side of the Earth, holding your hand to put an end to this winter
How much should my longings fall like snow
Before the days of spring return, friend?

ep 1-2 of #WhentheStarsGossip as a clever and funny send-up of the oh-so-self-important space travel/adventure genre, who’s with me? #kdrama

#EYDC2024 Day 31: Favorite Drama of 2024 - Although one week short of completion I’m going with #WhenThePhoneRings as the best all around in evoking the classic #kdrama that first got me hooked… #LovelyRunner and #NoGainNoLove runners up

#EYDC2024 - Day 28 - something I want to see more of in dramas - more non-straight female lead characters #kdrama

Day 27: A 2024 drama too few people watched - Not sure about this but #FlexXCop was unexpectedly satisfying and I didn’t see much buzz about it #kdrama

#EYDC2024 Day 26: Most disappointing drama of 2024 - Agree with others about #LoveNextDoor but #ImpossibleHeir gets the prize for supreme waste of talented actors (Lee Jae-wook and Lee Jun-young) #kdrama

#EYDC2024 Day 25: Favorite Romance of 2024 - #LovelyRunner was most consistent but #QueenOfTears and #LoveNextDoor had some outstanding scenes mostly thanks to the actors…
