#5. Crash Landing on you
Just the thought of Cho Cheol Gang (Oh Man Seok) from the Kdrama "CLOY" makes me shudder! This high-ranking military officer in North Korea is responsible for capturing our beloved Yoon Se-ri after she accidentally lands in North Korea during a paragliding accident. Cho Cheol Gang's manipulative nature is what makes him such a memorable villain. He's intelligent and stays one step ahead of his enemies at all times. One notable example of his manipulative nature is when he convinces a fellow soldier to betray North Korea and work with him instead. This soldier, who had been fiercely loyal, is eventually swayed by Cho Cheol Gang's charisma and becomes a critical pawn in his plan to capture Yoon Se-ri. Cho Cheol Gang is a master of manipulation and deception, using his skills to achieve his goals.
#4 Flower of evil
❗ ** CONTAINS SPOILERS**❗
Alluring & Evil 😈
I'm talking about Baek Hee Seong a name that I'll probably never forget! Let me just say that this is Kdrama is not what it seems. As the Kdrama progresses, it is revealed that Baek Hee Seong was actually a notorious serial killer who had been responsible for multiple murders but was involved in a car accident that left him in a coma. The kdrama really picks up after Baek Hee Seong awakes and learns someone else has been living his life and he wants it back. Like a twisted villain, he'll stop at nothing to manipulate, deceive, lie and kill those closest to him. This Kdrama was dark, suspenseful and mysterious. If you've watched it I'm curious to know you're thoughts.
#3 bulgasal: immortal souls
If you're a fan of Kdramas that have sci-fi, horror and even a little historical aspect to them -- then you'll love Bulgasal. You'll also hate the villain! 😈
His name is Ok Eul-Tae (played by Lee Joon) and even watching the kdrama twice - I really couldn't figure out his motive nor why he was so angry and bent on destroying the main character's life In the kdrama, Ok Eul-Tae is an immortal who's existence depends on the death of the main character (Kwon Na Ra) and he will stop at nothing but to kill and destroy her. Unfortunately, the main character has no recollection of her past life - rather she lives on the run as these immortal beings seek her demise. This kdrama is dark - perhaps the darkest I've seen - but it's really good. I think I even teared up a couple of times. Seriously, if this appeals to you, then watch it! Jus thinking about the villain in this Kdrama ...makes me shudder!
#2 vincenzo
This guy ➡ Jang Jun Woo
If you know...you know. This villain in the Kdrama Vincenzo is so good you're not sure whether to love, hate him or want to see him succeed. Seriously, can we just take a moment to clap for the performance of Ok Taecyeon? 👏
Jang Jun Woo is the epitome of a Kdrama villain. His character in the Kdrama Vicenzo is that of a ruthless businessman who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He is charming, intelligent, and cunning, but what makes him truly terrifying is his complete lack of empathy for others. **SHUDDER**
Jang Jun Woo sees people as mere tools to be used for his own benefit and has no qualms about destroying lives to get what he wants. Seriously...even his own family.
What makes Jang Jun Woo such a unique villain is his psychological complexity. He is not a one-dimensional villain who is evil just for the sake of being evil. Instead, his actions are driven by a deep-seated trauma that has twisted his mind and made him believe that the only way to survive in the world is to be ruthless and merciless. He has become so consumed by his desire for power and control that he has lost all sense of morality and humanity.
Watching him in action is horrifying. He is a master manipulator who can charm his way into anyone's good graces, only to turn on them when they are no longer useful to him. His emotional detachment and lack of empathy make him a truly terrifying villain, and his ultimate downfall is both satisfying and tragic.
#1 The Great queen seondeok
Get ready to meet the QUEEN of ambition - Mishil! This captivating villain from the Kdrama 'Queen Seondeok' has one goal and one goal only: to be the ruler of Silla. She stops at nothing to achieve her dreams, not even allowing the rightful heir to take the throne.
Mishil is a master manipulator who controls the king and his court with ease, using her intelligence and cunning to get what she wants. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty, even if it means resorting to murder or other unspeakable acts. But as terrifying as she is, she's also a complex character with a deep-seated sense of bitterness and a thirst for revenge against those who have wronged her.
Watching Mishil's journey unfold is a thrill ride, as she competes with other powerful and capable women for the crown. She's always one step ahead of her opponents, and her cunning and intelligence make her a formidable adversary. It's hard not to be both fascinated and terrified by her at the same time.
Believe me, I've been watching Kdramas for over a decade, and I have yet to come across a villain as unforgettable as Mishil. She demands to be seen and will leave you with a lasting impression. Don't miss out on this amazing character in the hit Kdrama Queen Seondeok!
