5 KDramas to Watch if You Want to See Female Villains in Action

There are three main elements to make a Kdrama worth watching - the main leads, the execution of the storyline and the villains. You can’t deny the fact that villains like Jung Joon Ho and Imoogi have made the courses of the dramas even more exciting and enthralling to watch. Villains have sometimes made us hate them with all of our hearts, sometimes they silently secured a place in it (just like Jung Guen Won from Itaewon Class). 

When it comes to Kdrama villains, they are mostly male but that doesn’t mean Korean Industry has not gifted us some of the cruelest and toughest female villains. And if you are yet to enjoy one of these bone-chilling female villains of Kdrama, then you are at the right place because today we have brought 5 deadliest yet underrated female villains for you to enjoy.  

1. Park Yeon Jin - The Glory

There is hardly anyone who has not watched The Glory yet. The drama deals with sensitive themes like high school bullying, abuse of power and money, infidelity and so on. And when a drama is mainly dark themed, the actors playing these dark roles need to be talented enough to pull the roles perfectly without leaving any loopholes. Lim Ji Yeon here plays the role of Park Yeon Jin, who is the leader of the bully group. She is a spoiled teen brat, who abuses her power and money to get away with her wrong doings. She constantly bullies Moon Dong Eun, pushes another student from the rooftop, kills one of her notorious friends, cheats on her husband and what not. She has all the ill-qualities that will make you hate her from the core of your heart. But her character and Lim Ji Yeon’s ability to blend with the role, makes the drama much more enjoyable and thrilling. So, if you have not watched it, you should give it a try but proceed with caution since there are triggering concepts.  

2. Choi Myeong Hee - Vincenzo

Everything I try to write about Choi Myeong Hee will fall short. The way we all wanted to kill her while watching Vicenzo is proof of the ability of Kim Yeo Jin in portraying this evil lawyer, who is also Jung Joon Ho’s ally. She’s nasty, she is evil, she is cruel, even her accent will tick you off very badly. But we have to admit to the fact that the drama would not be as marvelous as it is without her character in it. She constantly commits many wrong deeds only to gain more and more power. However, we must admit that we all have been quite impressed by her zumba dancing skills anyway. 

3. Cha Moon Suk - Lawless Lawyer

The character of Cha Moon Suk is the perfect example of two-faced. This Lawless Lawyer villain appears to be all noble and caring but she is actually corrupt and greedy. Lee Hye Young plays the role of a senior judge, who secretly runs a corrupt charity and spares absolutely no one who comes in her way. She doesn’t even hesitate to kill her dear friend nor does she show mercy for her long-time right hand man Ahn Oh Joo. She’s driven by her greed and can do anything to attain more power and money. In my personal opinion, her character and awesome screenplay is probably the only thing that makes the drama worth watching, as for me, both of the main leads could have portrayed themselves a lot better. 

4. Kang So Young - School 2015

Here comes another bully, Kang So Young from School 2015. Cha Soo Hyang plays this character of this spoiled teenager Kang So Young who finds great pleasure in bullying her orphan classmate, Eun Bi. Her bullying goes so far that Eun Bi is pushed to the verge of death. However, Kang So Young feels no remorse. As the drama goes, she gets even more evil as she does not show any sign of leaving Eun Bi alone. She does not even regret her choices and uses her parent’s power to get away with everything. However, at the end of the drama she reflects upon her choices and apologies to Eun Bi. But that does not mean her character is easily forgiven, am I right? 

5. Choi Yoo Jin - The K2

Here comes our last and my personal favorite pick, Choi Yoo Jin from The K2. Even though Yoo Jin’s character is not the villain but an antagonist, still she is a deserving candidate for this list. Song Yoon Ah plays the role of Choi Yoo Jin, who is a woman of mid 40s, she is also a daughter from a chaebol family but is disinherited. Her father disowned her because she married a politician. And guess what, that same husband, goes behind her back every night and cheats on her on a daily basis. She is also the CEO of JSS Security, which is responsible for her presidential candidate husband’s security. Her character certainly makes some bad choices, such as separating her step-daughter from her husband and using her constantly to blackmail the man, but she is the one to hurt the most as well. 

Even though her relationship with her family and husband is dianted and she is mostly used for money, she gives her everything to keep his husband’s image spotless. She grows a fondness, dare I say romantic feelings, for Kim Je Ha (Ji Chang Wook) but that too is quickly shut down as the main female lead comes into the picture. All in all, she may seem to be an evil woman but she actually is a victim of fate and betrayal, which is understandable. Song Yoon Ah’s incredible acting and her on screen chemistry with Ji Chang Wook is one of the primary reasons why you should watch the drama if you have not already. 

That was all for today, we will come with another recommendation post, sooner than you think.

A lot of drama's love triangles are:

Main lead: someone who can't live without you.

Second lead: someone who will burn the world just for you.

First lead's are almost always a "soulmate/fated" ideology, where they won't ever be whole unless with the FL. It's like they're together because they just don't have a reason not to be. But very often I much prefer the ideology of the second male lead, someone who chose you. Who grew to love you and your imperfections, and through that would be willing to fight for you. Instead of "you're the only one (who understands me/who can fix me)" it's a "there are many great people, but I want you".

Just you.

5 of the best K-Dramas featuring Nam Joo Hyuk

Given the fact that it’s Nam Joo Hyuk’s 30th birthday, Let’s discuss some of his absolutely enchanting performances. 

1. Twenty Five Twenty One (2022)

Hyuk shines in moments of quiet reflection, portraying Yi Jin’s internal struggles with subtle shifts in expression and body language. When faced with setbacks, his clenched jaw and downcast eyes speak volumes about his suppressed frustration. Yet, his determination to overcome obstacles shines through in his focused gaze and unwavering stance during fencing matches.

The true strength of Hyuk’s performance lies in his chemistry with Kim Tae Ri, who portrays Na Hee Do. Their interactions are filled with playful banter, heartfelt support, and moments of unspoken longing. Hyuk perfectly portrays the awkward fumbling of first love, his nervous glances and shy smiles conveying the depth of Yi Jin’s feelings.

Overall, Nam Joo Hyuk delivers a captivating performance in Twenty Five Twenty One. He brings warmth and depth to the character of Baek Yi Jin, making him a relatable and endearing protagonist whose journey resonates with viewers long after the finale.

2. Weightlifting fairy Kim Bok Joo (2016)

Hyuk masterfully navigates these contrasting facets of Joon-hyung. He delivers comedic moments with impeccable timing, his playful bickering with Bok-joo and awkward attempts at flirting sparking genuine laughter. Yet, when the character grapples with loss and personal struggles, Hyuk imbues him with a quiet pain that resonates deeply. His emotional delivery, particularly in scenes where Joon-hyung opens up to Bok-joo, showcases a maturity beyond his years.

Through Hyuk’s performance, Joon-hyung emerges as more than just the love interest. He becomes a pillar of support for Bok-joo, encouraging her dreams and celebrating her victories. Their blossoming romance feels genuine and heartwarming, fueled by mutual respect and understanding. Hyuk’s chemistry with Lee Sung-kyung, who portrays Bok-joo, is undeniable, making their journey of love and self-discovery all the more engaging.

In conclusion, Nam Joo Hyuk’s performance in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo transcends the typical K-drama heartthrob role. He brings depth and nuance to Joon-hyung, making him a character you root for and remember long after the credits roll.

the one aspect of american culture that i will defend to my last breath is the recent high school tradition of taking the practice SAT, signing the page that says "you're not allowed to tell ANYONE what's on this test even when it's over", and then immediately flooding tumblr with highly specific memes about the content of said test
