It probably depends on what show is in question, but... I watch cdramas semi-regularly and find a lot of cool female characters but I frequently end up a bit disappointed because the writing doesn't seem to realize their full potential. Very frustrating.

But I digress, sorry! I do see a lot of weird female lead hatred, especially if there's any kind of m/m element to the cdrama. I chalk that up to an unfortunate internalized misogyny and self-loathing, and fans being too immature to realize that you can admire character A or ship two men without crapping all over every women in the vicinity. A tale as old as time, really.

This is my main problem with cdramas too, honestly. The only one I've found that I felt thoroughly subverted that issue was Nirvana in Fire. All of the female characters in that are fantastic and really fleshed out.

Nirvana in Fire is a gem, and it stands out from most cdramas for many reasons. You're right about the female characters. It's a shame that more cdramas aren't more like NiF for that, and many other reasons.
