Manhwa female leads are arguably one of the hardest protagonists or antagonists to find. Most of them are portrayed as weak females, especially the protagonists, who are waiting for the male lead to come and rescue them without even trying to do anything. On the other hand,some Manhwa are famousfor their iconic female leads who can save themselves when in a pinch.
It’s always interesting to see a female lead go through many experiences and learn from past mistakes to develop her character throughout the Manhwa series. Additionally,it’s extremely satisfying when the female protagonists achieve the impossibleand leave their mark on history.
