I was going to do a post on cool drama guys with swords but then I thought...ehhhh, everybody's done one of those. I want to do a cool post on kickass drama GIRLS with swords or guns. And why they are awesome.

Awesome list! You captured a lot of my favorites... particularly from Legend, HGD, and Damo!!

I especially LOVED your description of Yi Nok: "She is a good fighter, but even better, she is sunny, good-hearted, and will never stop eating". Brilliant! I particularly loved the scene where she's explaining how she evaded capture by that slave-trader guy, and says it's because her grandpa knew she's "never been full." I'm going crazy waiting for the subs as well! ^_^

I will be very curious to see what you think of the women in Emperor of the Sea(only one supporting female is of the "Warrior women" variety, but the two main women essentially wage war-with each other and with men-by virtue of being amazingly smart, shrewd and cunning.)

I don't need them to be sword-wielding. As long as they are clever I am good.
