#KDRAMAWOMENSWEEKS 2025: HITMAKER

This is all about giving them recognition and credit. A prompt for the actresses with double-digit smash hits, critical success-makers, those who navigated their way into becoming the headliners, the ones don’t get recognition they deserve.

Just like every year, this event is open to anyone who wants to join us in celebrating our favorite women from Korean dramas. Make sure to use #kdramawomensweeks and/or #kww2025 so we can find your posts!

#KDRAMAWOMENSWEEKS 2025: THROWBACK

Remembering where we started and our shared decade in kdramas. A prompt for the female centric kdramas and female characters we have loved over the past decade, maybe our first loves that started it all (2015-2025).

THE DOUBLE:

This is all about giving the spotlight to those behind the scenes. A prompt for the increase in dramas both written by women and directed by women, the rise of many female directors, the continued power of the big names, the lesser-known stars, all those behind the camera…

The legacy of Lee Yoon-Jung: Starting from feeling

(Cheese in the Trap/Heart to Heart/Motel California/a Google translation of https://www.iworldtoday.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=187341#google_vignette)

This is inspired by the fact that one of the directors who worked on Motel California, Jang Joon-Ho was an assistant director for Coffee Prince. He dropped out of the filming early though but I like to think he and hence Lee Yoon-Jung had some influence on the drama. Even without that link, there are many parallels between the early works of Lee Yoon-jung and Motel California, in particular, an emphasis on complex thoughts and emotions of the unconventional heroines.

Since the event became a month-long one, we've decided to highlight a different prompt each week. This is only meant to give you ideas so feel free to post something about any prompt you want anytime during the month! This week, we're highlighting...

#KDRAMAWOMENSWEEKS 2025: INTO THE NEW WORLD

This is all about seeking the goodness out there. A prompt for dramas that highlight issues concerning women and marginalised groups, that give hope and assurance for the future of kdramas and maybe of the world…
