Dramas that are "Men Act, Women Are"
Direct comparison to other list. Female leads that would fit the description a strong female lead, but still passive or overshadowed by male lead/s (often to make the ML look cooler). Not necessarily bad/unenjoyable dramas, just the ones that make me even think of this list and my what my idea of the vague "strong female lead" idea is. Listed in order of how much it actively bothered me.
AKA the drama that thinks it has a "strong female lead" but really a cop-out
