I've decided I'm going to read all these paranormal romances you keep talking about, but in return you must watch these female assassin-related dramas with me:
Nine-Tailed Fox (kdrama) Shi-yeon is the reverse Buffy, a 'fox' (i.e. a vampire) who is an elite fighter for the organization which fights humans and who might have a special destiny. She has a star-crossed love with a cop from the special unit who hunts them, but that is not a typical kdrama love. The story of their grown-up selves starts, after all, when she is the one who saves him from being sliced up.
Romance of Red Dust (cdrama) A fearsome assassin and concubine of evil governor, Hong Bi can outfight and outmaneuver basically anyone. She goes on the lam when she gets fed up with yet another order, this time assassination of an idealistic young scholar. They end up travelling together, falling in love, fighting off hordes of assassins. There is a bit of an awesome gender role reversal there: he is the naive one and she is the tough as nails experienced one, and a better fighter.
