save me depressed women...depressed women save me

YUN WEISHAN from my journey to you — a spy-assassin who yearns for freedom but is bound to the noxious organization that's owned and controlled her since she was a child because it's also where all her most meaningful relationships have been fostered—and brought to murderous ends.  

SEO CHAN JOO from beloved — betrayed by her lover and reeling from a miscarriage after he leaves her for a chaebol heiress, she marries the first next man who approaches her. three years later their (seemingly?) happy marriage is tested when her ex-lover returns to pursue her, and the unexplored trauma from when she and her husband first met resurfaces.

YOON HYE JIN from la dolce vita — married to an adulterer who's cheating on her with a younger woman, hye jin stays true to her own romantic sensibilities by filing for divorce, navigating a public workforce when she's spent her whole adulthood being a mother and homemaker, and falling for an emotionally volatile but equally romantic possible (probable) murderer.  

LEE BOO JUNG from lost — boo jung enters a cycle of pain, abuse, and isolation when her tv-star employer (who herself is a victim of domestic battery) assaults her and causes her to have a miscarriage. unable to connect emotionally with her husband or to tell her father the truth of her situation, she seeks companionship, friendship, and more with a sex worker.  

MOK HAE WON from when the weather is fine — weary from work and isolation in metropolitan seoul, hae won returns to her hometown for rest and escape, only to come face to face with the mysterious darkness from her teenagehood—when her closest friend revealed the secret that her battered mother had murdered her abusive father.

JIN SUJI from suji and uri — believing she was abandoned by her birth mother, suji is hyper-competent and overachieving in an effort to show she is worthy of love and care. when her stepsister destroys her career and reputation, suji leaves her job, family, and boyfriend to self-isolate where no one can find her—which is ironically the room her unknown-to-her birth mother is renting out.

GO DOK MI from flower boy next door — a recluse who was betrayed by her closest friend in high school, one of dok mi's favorite pastimes is spying on her neighbor crush with binoculars.

HYE YOON from can we get married — hye yoon experiences loneliness after dumping her fiancé and distancing herself from her best friend, only to realize she has to work through the issues she has with intimacy stemming from when a past boyfriend cheated on her.  

IWAYA SUMIRE from kimi wa petto — sumire is an idealized woman: tall, beautiful, well-employed, highly-educated, and propertied. but her boyfriend cheats on her, her boss sexually harasses her and she gets demoted, and her women colleagues are jealous of her and enjoy seeing her socially punished. and she still misses her childhood pet. sumire has to first recognize her own sadness despite her supposed elevated status, and then recognize—and accept—what her real desires are.
