We love seeing strong female characters taking dominance of K-Drama screens these days. Some obvious characters come to mind when thinking about strong female leads such as Jo YiSeo played by Kim DaMi from “Itaewon Class,” Do BongSoon played by Park BoYoung in “Strong Girl BongSoon,” and Jung TaeEul played by Kim GoEun in “The King: The Eternal Monarch.”
But which queens are dominating the screens in 2021? Here is an unranked list of some of the baddest female leads to appear in 2021 K-Dramas so far, this year.
1. Jeong SeoHyun and Kang JaKyung from "Mine"
"Mine" features a story about two ambitious women who married into one of the richest conglomerate families in Korea. The lead actresses are Lee BoYoung who plays the role of Seo HeeSoo, and Kim SeoHyung who plays the role of Jeong SeoHyun. They are met by a rival named Kang JaKyung, played by Ok JaYeon, who is hiding a big secret from them.

Jeong SeoHyun is married to the first son of HyoWon Group, yet has managed to make herself the center of the family. Nothing happens on their property or in their business without her knowing about it. She also finds herself having to clean up the HyoWon Group's family members' messes, as a result. Nothing that she does is without calculation and a proper strategy in place.

Kang JaKyung enters the plot to stir things up. She has a personal grudge against the HyoWon Group and her goal is to take back everything that they have taken away from her. She plays dirty when necessary and will do whatever it takes to get back what's hers.
