almost always fit into the category of a financially dependent female being in the position of needing to be saved by a well off male.

I could be wrong but it seems the case is that in Kdramas it is either he is her boss (or superior) or she is his boss and superior, and "just equals" is the rare case. but this could be just because extremes are good for fiction.

Let's take "Lovers" trilogy (which is VERY good on strong female characters, actually):

Lovers: I would say she is his superiour, in upbringing and in knowledge.

Lovers in Prague: (one of the dramas I strongly believe will be to your liking) she is his superior, but not just because she is a daughter of the President. She is smart, she knows what she wants and is not afraid to act.

Lovers in Paris: He is rich , she is poor but of the type that she doesn't want anyone's rescuing. She can rescue herself from any situation, she just happens to like him.

Hwa Ran and Lawyer Brother apparently had Crushes on each other as children. Naturally, they shall fall in love again.

You got it! And he is such a darling, isn't he?
