As I couldn't watch those games with my own eyes I cannot say the details of the games. There was no broadcast. So, what I only can do is just quoting some remarks from the articles of Korean newspapers. They are as follows. (Please forgive my poor translation into English.)
[After a defeat to Japan]
Korean handball shed tears again due to the biased calls of Middle East referees. This time it was to the women's national team.
The first victim was Oh Seong-Ok, the core player of Korea. Oh got the direct red card at the 12th minute of the first half. After the game, Oh said it was for the first time in her career that she got a direct red card.
With regard to 2-minute suspension, Korea got seven suspencions compared to Japan's one. Most of them came at crucial moments.
Line player Huh Soon-Young got her third 2-minute suspension at the 5th minute of the second half and disqualified. Another line player Kim Cha-Yeon played well in her place but at the 58th minute of the game, when the score was tied at 28-28, she was given a 2-minute suspension. Eventually, Korea lost to Japan by the score of 29-30.
After the game, assistant coach Kim Woon-Hak exclaimed "What the h*** is this game? I really hate to play games with such referees."
[After a win against 'tolerant' Kazakhstan]
Korean women's national handball team beat Kazakhstan but gave away the direct Olympic ticket to them due to goal difference.
At the early minutes Korean players were inactive and fell behind 3-6 till the 11th minute. But they regained their form and made it 8-8 soon. At 24th minute the score was 14-11 for Korea. However, from that moment Iranian referees began abnormal calls and at half time the score was 15-15.
At second half, biased calls became definitely plain. Including a period when there were only four Korean field players on the court, it was a series of biased calls. At 55th minute the score was 25-30, Kazakhstan lead. For the last 5 minutes Korea came from behind to win the game by the score of 32-31 but the goal difference was not enough.
After the game, coach Lim Young-Cheol said with a sigh "I expected unfair calls but it was far beyond expectations. It was not a normal handball game."
=>Conclusion
All in all, I can guess it was not different from men's games. But there are some reasons that the situation of the women's tournament is less known to the world.
First, there were no neutral supervisor or referees from other continent. The official supervisor was from Kuwait.
Second, there was no broadcast.
Third, Japan was passive on protesting biased calls as they were benefited from them.
Fourth, the scenario(?) was perfect. Japan beat Korea by 1 goal, Kazakhstan beat Japan by 6 goals, and then Korea beat Kazakhstan by 1 goal. A cheating 'masterpiece' directed by AHF featuring Kazakhstan.
