Opinion Poll: The Women of K-Drama

Just like the movies, I am well aware that K-Dramas are not a true reflection of reality. However, I've always wondered how much truth there is in how the women and gender-roles are represented. At the beginning, I remember having a serious battle within me. I've since learnt to disengage my views and simplicity enjoy the show.

Is the Korean culture this conservative?

Also, how do you, as a liberal woman feel while watching k-dramas?

What do you like or dislike in how women are portrayed in K-Dramas?

EDIT: For the people who might feel some type of way at the tags and comparisons this poll might be giving Korea, I assure you that was not the intention. Korea is not the only part of the world where the strides to what would be considered a feminist revolution is slower. I have travelled a lot and can confirm that South East Asia, West & Central Africa, some parts of Southern Europe and esp the Middle East have as far a way to go, maybe even further, than Korea. I just have never been to Korea (it's on the list) and through k dramas I happened to discover a lot of a place I've never been. I'm simply very curious and being female, even more so on issues regarding women.

EDIT2: Please feel free to leave your fave K-Drama with strong female roles or point out great writers who write amazing female characters for me to check out even if you don't have an opinion regarding the subject matter.
