HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY TO KDRAMA WOMEN'S WEEK!!! For its 10th year anniversary, the event is evolving into a month-long celebration and becomes KDRAMAWOMENSWEEKS. We invite you to join us in March for a whole month dedicated to showing our love to our favourite women of Korean drama and film with prompts created by @dramaheroine.

A massive thank you to those who hosted and organized the event since 2025: @dramaheroine , @gudansoo and @gudongmae.

Join the event by creating visual content (gifs, fanart, edits, etc.) or just talking about your favourite kdrama women inspired by the prompts below. Please tag your posts with #KDRAMAWOMENSWEEKS and/or #kww2025, so they are easier to find, admire, and reblog.

This is all about 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)...
