We certainly love sweet, savage, and powerful K-Drama actresses for their ability to empathize, love, care, and encourage, making every series worthwhile.

To celebrate and empower women, we listed down the most remarkable female heroines in 2022!

1. Kim Da Mi in 'Our Beloved Summer'

Kim Da Mi's character Kook Yeon Soo in the megahit series "Our Beloved Summer" truly made every viewer weep and laugh!

As her family's breadwinner, many fans surely resonated with her. Kook Yeon Soo is a very complex character, which makes her more interesting.

Despite her rash attitude to people, she develops sympathy and care for others. Apart from that, her painful back story truly opened everyone's eyes.

2. Kim Hye Soo in 'Juvenile Justice'

Probably the most hated and loved character at the same time on this list! Kim Hye Soo played the role of Shim Eun Seok, a juvenile judge who detests young offenders in the Netflix series "Juvenile Justice."

Without a doubt, Shim Eun Seok is passionate in her job. However, she can be ruthless, callous, and indifferent.

She gives the maximum sentence to juveniles who have done a grave crime without any remorse.

At the end of the series, and after knowing her story, Shim Eun Seok was understood more deeply.

In addition to that, Kim Hye Soo received critical acclaim for her performance, leaving fans in awe yet again.

3. Han Ji Eun in 'Bad and Crazy'

With her minor roles in several popular dramas, Han Ji Eun is finally given the chance to return to the screen with a more significant role!

In the drama "Bad and Crazy," she portrayed the role of a drug crime investigation detective named Lee Hui Gyeom. As a police lieutenant, she is righteous with endless dedication to her job.

Despite her wealthy background, good education and perfect life, she still chose to serve her people. She never thinks twice in taking down the bad guys.

4. Kim Hee Sun in 'Tomorrow'

Make way for the one and only grim reaper on the list!

Kim Hee Sun transforms into the pink-haired grim reaper Goo Ryung for "Tomorrow." She is also known as "The Girl From Hell," who works in the underworld.

She has an oozing charisma and chic aura that captivates just anyone. But do not be fooled! Even though she is a grim reaper, she has a warm heart and soft spot for her loved ones.

In the drama, she helps lost souls to retrace their steps back to life, and save people from committing suicide.

5. Chae Jung An in 'The King of Pigs'

Sensuous, tenacious, and principled are the three words that best describe Chae Jung An's new character Kang Jin Ah in the drama "The King of Pigs."

As a detective, she perseveres to solve a case and to give justice to the right people. Meticulous in her investigations, she refuses to pass over a single clue. Because of this, she is well-known around violent crimes and detectives' circle.

Like many other detectives, regardless of gender, Kang Jin Ah is driven to seek justice, reveal the truth, and fulfill her duty.
