Is there a Korean drama where the main lead is not good looking?
There may be!Depends upon how you define being 'good looking’. For me as long as the content is great, looks doesn't matter ever.I have been learning many things through these dramas, whatever the drama was i came across something really “woww" equivalent every single time. Yeah i agree Korean drama put looks of their actors first but I must say everyone should see beyond looks, who knows you will discover something far better than that.I'll share few such dramas which eventually will change your view towards Korean dramas for sure.Good doctorBeautiful mind
What are your 10 most favorite Korean dramas and why?
Judging from the few K-dramas I’ve watched, I would say that Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (2016) is honestly the most adorable and refreshing drama I’ve seen in a while.It is totally different from the usual canonical dramas we come across. In short, the show offers the experience of how wonderful the life can be, and the charms of being in a relationship. Every episode being so pure, transparent and honest that you rediscover the joy to enjoy and smile at small yet beautiful things.More or less, it's about how our main female lead, Kim Bok-joo (played by Lee Sung-kyung), a weightlifter, falls in love for the first time. And we know all too well that Lee Sung-kyung IS BEAUTIFUL; it’s great see her playing some positive roles after a while.Next thing is the chemistry, and it’s brilliant. Let me be clear, Nam Joo-hyuk and Lee Sung-kyung are made for each other. With acting so natural and effortless, you would end up rooting for the couple more than anyone.It feels great to enjoy something exceptional like this with such genuine comedy and optimistic theme without any cheesiness. I still can’t get enough of these two.Soundtracks are adorable too.Do give it a watch.

What are the korean dramas like boys over flowers?
“Boys over Flowers” is modern version of Cinderella Story where rich guy falls for a poor girl.There are lots of superb “Rich Guy Poor Girl” conceptual serials.Here is my list:A) Typical “Rich Guy Poor Girl” conceptual serials:Cinderella & Four Knights - I haven’t watched it, but I heard about it. It’s quite nice as presentation was lovely.2. The Heirs - True to say I didn’t like it because of its plain plot though it was a mega-hit for all star casts in one.3. You're beautiful - Another Funny enjoyable drama. All 3 K-pop Idol falls for a poor girl.4. Coffee Prince - Much enjoyable drama. Our rich hero falls for a boy (who is acutally a girl :P ).5. Princess Hours – It’s a bit slow drama. But set, background are so nice.B) “Rich Guy Poor Girl” conceptual serials with different storylines:My Love Who Came From The Star - This serial has got everything. This one will make you laugh in all episodes except few episodes which will make you cry. Here the lead female is a star celebrity who suddenly got doomed & poor, and then our rich alien hero stood by her.2. Master’s Sun- Totally different storyline of this drama will charm you. You love each & every character.3. My Princess - a light-hearted serial which will make laugh, giggle, smile. Here the poor girl suddenly becomes rich making the hero poor. :P4. Playful Kiss - I loved this because of cuteness of this drama.5. Cheese in the Trap – Though the story is not that amazing, still the romantic scenes are highly cute. The chemistry between the leads are too good. It’s based on webtoon of same name. Here our rich hero doesn’t shower his love with wealth (unlike Goo Jun Pyo, that’s quite amazing :P ), he showers his love by becoming her level. But the end may disappoint you.6. My Name Is Kim Sam Soon - The Only drama where main lead is both poor & fat. Full of fun...7. Secret Garden - a gender blender story still too enjoyable. Coffee Prince - Much enjoyable.8. Heart To Heart – It’s a psychiatric drama. I didn’t like the story. But its presentation is too cute. The songs in this drama are too amazing.9. My Girl – It’s just a good time pass drama.10. Full House Take 2- ( I was shocked & hurt seeing No-Min-Woo's appearance in this drama)11. When a Man Falls In Love-(1st time I hated the main heroine of a Kdrama).
How come in some k-dramas the female leads are really weak?
In Boys over Flowers, Playful Kiss, Heirs, etc., the female leads are weak. I'm relatively new to the "k-drama world" and i wanted to try it. Heirs, however I kind of enjoy because of the male lead rival and the female lead rival because, while she is bitchy (but not without reason), she is misunderstood yet has at least a strong exterior. The female protagonist is always pushed around by the male leads and it seems to focus on their romance. However, I actually watch Heirs for the story outside of the romance because I find it quite overused, as in the same old rich guy falls in love with a poor girl. I also don't understand why so many guys are in love with the female lead, as it seems she has nothing special about her, neither looks nor personality. I personally couldn't finish Playful Kiss, because it seemed that the romance was the ONLY plot, and the genius, hot, cold guy was obviously going to fall in love with the cute, dumb girl which I don't understand. She was weak and I read somewhere that the only reason she became a nurse was because the male lead became a doctor. Also, what's up with the awkward, cold kisses? I'm not trying to be offensive, I'm just curious as to why it is like that. I understand that there are a handful of subpar american tv shows that do the same thing, but why?

Are there any Asian dramas with a strong female lead that you would recommend?
My Mister: This drama has the strongest female lead I have ever seen. The female lead is surprisingly & unusually intelligent & quick-witted & confident, she can even be the rudest.The whole drama’s story is in her hand. This is the only drama where heroine protects the hero with her intelligence. IU just nailed the role.2. Yong Pal: This drama has one of the most astonishing female lead, who has both beauty & brain. The heroine takes control of the story. The damsel in distress becomes the danger. Kim Tae Hee wonderfully played the role.3. Chicago Typewriter: The female lead is different as she played role of a spy & sniper in the era of Japanese occupation period. Im Soo Jung was great.4. Signal: The female detective played by Kim Hye-soo was much bold.5. Iris: The female lead is an agent. So she must be strong. Kim Tae Hee never fails to amaze us.6. Inspiring Generation: Lim Soo-Hyang played the role of a cold cruel vengeful Japanese fighter.7. Father is Strange: This serial has multiple lead pairs. The eldest daughter is 1 of the most beautifully bold I have ever seen, and so her mother is. Both Lee Yoo-ri and Kim Hae-sook were awesome.8. Because This Is My First Life: Though the strength of the heroine isn’t much focused, I liked her because of her finding a way anyhow just not to give up her dreams & self-respect.9. The Defendant: The female lead is not the main attraction, she also hasn't that much importance. But she is 1 of the most mentally strong lead as she never gives up even after losing cases so many times.10. That's Okay, It's Love: As our heroine is a psychiatrist, she has much mental strength. She has a rough character.11. Reply 1988: The heroine’s sister is a scary rough character. The heroine is just a cute louder one who can break the leg of others. :p
What are some Korean rom-com dramas with naive girl and arrogant guy?
I'm just suggesting some Korean rom-com dramas with naive girl and arrogant guy from my view: (As you wanted to know only rom-coms, I omitted melodramas from the list)1. Full House - In this drama, the lead male is arrogant towards the female lead, but he is soft to others. I liked it too much as it’s full of Entertainment.2. Master’s Sun- Totally different storyline of this drama will charm you. You love each & every character.3. Kill Me, Heal Me - A superb drama full of entertainment. The lead actors plays 7 different role too nicely. One of his personality is too arrogant and violent. There isn’t a single boring moment. The leads aren’t appealing in looks, but after watching the drama I felt that they are too good actors & their acting is too appealing.4. My Princess - a light-hearted serial which will make laugh, giggle, smile.5. Playful Kiss - I loved this because of cuteness of this drama.6. Love rain - Love story of two different era was shown too beautifully. Songs sung by Jang Geun Suk are too charming.7. My Name Is Kim Sam Soon - The Only drama where main lead is fat.
