K-dramas have turned the world of television upside down by basically becoming the most popular TV shows when it comes to foreign shows. Sometimes they even break the ratings of many Western shows...
South Korean dramas cover almost every major genre, often mixing them into perfectly balanced but totally unexpected new sub-genres. However, they tend to give male characters more power than female characters.
However, there are still many series that focus on a tough female lead who is also a career woman making her way in the tough world of work. Here we have several shows that focus on the exact same premise.

Egyptt, Lady P, Ceyenne, Cashmere: they’re all on intimate terms with The Stroll, a strip of 14th Street in the Meatpacking District once popular with Black trans sex workers in pre-yuppified Manhattan. It was a dangerous life; the streetwalkers often didn’t know if they’d be beaten up by the johns or the cops. But at the end of the day they knew they had each other, and it’s this sense of community and camaraderie that stands out in The Stroll, the new HBO documentary from stroller-turned-filmmaker Kristen Lovell.

While Do-Hee follows Dong-Joo, who is chasing after the car with Ji-Yeon, she requests Kyung-Sook to stall the debate no matter what. If she’s able to bring Ji-Yeon back to the studio and show everybody that it was Jae-Min’s attempt to kill her and call it a suicide, he would be done for. Unfortunately, nothing goes according to plan for Do Hee and Kyung Sook. Dong-Joo loses Ji-Yeon’s car but directs Do-Hee to where he thinks they might’ve taken her.

Ah, it’s a shame the closing song changes after a few episodes of a K-drama; the first one is so fun and pumping to match the atmosphere of the show’s strong female characters. “Queenmaker” definitely feels like a product of its time, bringing female characters to the center of a political drama. All actresses give compelling performances that keep one on the edge of their seat, even in a fully political show. Leave it up to Hallyu to make a political drama so entertaining.

With each episode, the intensity of “Queenmaker” ramps up. When we first began this show, the politics went way over our heads, but we suggest sticking with it because the further we go, the darker it gets. It is quite common in K-dramas to add shock value; it is the drama that we’re looking for after a hard day’s work, but one particular scene in episode 6 will definitely catch you off guard. Let’s quickly get into everything that goes down in episodes 5 & 6 of “Queenmaker.”

What Happens In ‘Queenmaker’ Episodes 5 & 6?
We left off with Assemblywoman Seo and Kyung-Sook about to begin their debate. Seo is already riled up from all the information that Do-Hee has leaked about her personal expenditures. She attacks the rhino (Kyung-Sook’s given title) by aiming directly for the horn. Kyung-Sook is, of course, prepared for the level of attack thanks to Do-Hee’s preparation.

After a slow first two episodes, “Queenmaker” becomes quite intense and quite fast in episodes 3 and 4. The expected drama is finally here, and some unbelievable actions are taken in the next couple of episodes. Of course, it’s not a K-drama without a cool makeover scene, and this one is pretty exciting to watch. After the death of I-Seul, Do-Hee has a new vendetta against the Eunsung group and will never stand for Jae-Min to become the Mayor of Seoul. How will she convince Kyung-Sook to take her side in the war? Let’s find out in episodes 3 and 4.

Kim Hee-Ae is back with an expensive wardrobe and a powerful performance on Netflix’s “Queenmaker.” For the most part, her character is rather meek compared to the one in “The World Of The Married,” but we’re only two episodes in, so much more is yet to happen. Alongside her, we have Moon So-Ri, Seo Yi-Sook, Yoon Ji-Hye, Kim Sae-Byuk, and Ryu Soo-Young in pivotal roles. We wouldn’t go so far as to call “Queenmaker” a “Makjang” drama just yet, but we can wait a little bit to confirm this. The K-drama takes time to set its pace and might get a bit slow in places. Let’s find out if there’s a payoff.

Queenmaker is a new Korean Netflix series directed by Jin Suk Oh and starring Kim Hee-ae, Luna So-ri and Su-yeong ryu.
Queenmaker is a curious Korean series with a very, very special protagonist played by Kim Hee-ae. A mix of comedy and drama quite, quite interesting and, above all, with a different flavor.
A series that makes the “bad guys” (supposedly) a little more human (just a little).
Plot
An excellent image consultant does the impossible: she cleans up the image of the meanest and cruelest bosses in town. After suffering an accident, she faces her greatest challenge: to make a woman lawyer becomes the mayor.
Is it really possible to give a lawyer a good image?

So many great stories in history start out with the key players hating each other — as it is in Netflix and A24’s “Beef,” streaming on Netflix in April. Amy (Ali Wong) and Danny (Steven Yeun) meet via parking lot bump turned action-movie car chase, their lives connecting and their road rage lingering in weeks and months after the incident. In reviewing the series, IndieWire’s Ben Travers said that “’Beef’ does a fine job balancing Amy and Danny’s practical intelligence and impractical passions; their bitterness toward the other driver ebbs and flows as their personal lives better or worsen, and it’s in these moments that the half-hour drama thrives.”
The series from Lee Sung Jin premieres on April 6. See below for more titles coming to Netflix in April 2023.

Whether it’s overcoming a mental handicap or fighting for their rights, Korea’s women-led stories are evolving as the local industry kicks some of its dated stereotypes for female characters.
Recent shows “The Glory,” “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” “Little Women” and “Twenty-Five, Twenty-One” not only delve into social issues in Korea, but highlight the strength and depth of character of their female leads.
Three of these were top-10 shows for Netflix in 2022, while data from FlixPatrol shows revenge thriller “The Glory” as the number one TV show on the streamer this year in South Korea, as of Feb. 24.
While Korea’s rigidly hierarchical society and history has traditionally put women at the bottom of society, that same rigidity moulded strong, creative women who overcame hardship and prejudice. Finally, these traits are being reflected in content hitting the small screen.
