Ooooh, this could be fun! Some may lean more towards strong and others more towards sassy, and some may have a few ladies I consider strong and sassy even if they aren’t the lead, but here goes:

When It’s At Night
(basically anything with Kim Sun Ah, because even if her dramas aren’t great *shakes fist at Masked Prosecutor* she’s usually awesome)
I’ll try! Not sure what it was you liked about CH, so I’ll cover my bases the best I can. It’s been years since I’ve watched this drama, so I’m only going off of my vague memory, and there’s a fair chance I’ll just end up recommending favorite dramas because I can:
Heartless City – darker than CH but has some excellent fight scenes (no spoons, I think, but still awesomeness like that), plus a whole undercover secret revenge plot.
Three Days – has action and political machinations, and I mostly thought of it because of the secret service angle. Not quite as humorous, though.
Story of a Man – not exactly political, but revenge thriller with an excellent cast. More psychological fighting than physical, though, so if you’re looking for action, this might not be your drama.
Blade Man – more if you like the relationship between the main characters in CH than any political revenge thriller. It’s a better drama than it sounds, I swear!
Vampire Prosecutor (seasons 1 and 2) – if you liked the action and also the bromance between Yun Sung and Ahjussi.
When It’s At Night – reluctant romance over solving art thefts! I dunno. I’m reaching now.
So I apparently don’t watch a lot of action-romance-thriller-comedy dramas, at least ones that I remember very well and can recommend. You can check out this tag if you were more specifically interested in thrillers.
I’m sure some of my followers will be happy to add to the list, though. (I’d bet good money at least one or a dozen will mention Healer but I’ll save y’all the hassle and just add to the list even though I never got past halfway so can’t personally vouch for it.)
C’mon, help a fan out or I’ll repost this image every day for the next month:
EDIT: you’re in luck, Anon! I have more suggestions for you thanks to some lovely followers (and alas, that means no spamming the LMH STYLE. *pouts*).
Oh my, you mentioned When it’s at Night aka my fave *tears up", i’m dying at this post. Please keep reposting the picture, and yeah i’d add Healer first in that list.We could possibly add Athena Goddess of War for all dem guns and revenge.
