One-syllable names are not very common in Korea, both in real life and TV shows. Here are some of the TV show characters with a one-syllable name that I am particularly fond of.

Jang Geon (장건) - Stranger (비밀의 숲)

Nam Shin/Nam Shin III (남신/남신 III) - Are You Human Too? (너도 인간이니?)

Choi Yoon (최윤) - The Guest (손 the guest)

Seo Hwi (서휘) - My Country: The New Age (나의 나라)

Seo Yeon (서연) - My Country: The New Age (나의 나라)

Lee Gon (이곤) - The King: Eternal Monarch (더 킹: 영원의 군주)

Jo Yeong (조영) - The King: Eternal Monarch (더 킹: 영원의 군주)

Kwon Hyuk (권혁) - Beyond Evil (괴물)

Jo Heon (조헌) - Vigilante (비질란테)

Wait, no, who else thought that Seonwook was gonna be the masked Vigilante? 😂 They set up that red herring real good: "can't sleep" and going to the professor's office, being bothered on the bus and not going clubbing... Does he know? (He should at least suspect) Or is he helping out Gangok somehow? 👀 They better give me answers before the endddd

(The disparity in spelling strikes again... Kangok? Gangok? Joheon vs Choheon... aghh)

I smashed my ipad (accidentally) so as soon as i get access to a new writing device or fix it best believe i will be churning out fics for beyond evil (and vigilante because the brainrot is becoming real)

Finished 비질란테 | Vigilante (2023) and... can't lie, other than the casting and emotional main theme scoring, overall it's pretty boring and disappointing. Especially the plot. The premises they used were not uncommon nor unique in my opinion. Not enough build-up to encourage the audience that this vigilante is very much loved (not just worshipped or needed, but genuinely loved) by the society he's living with (and for). It could've been done a lot better tbh.

sorry but yoo ji-tae in vigilante is really putting me off.......i'm not really a fan of his in general but the so-buff-he's-losing-neck-and-walks-like-vince-mcmahon look is soooo unpleasant. and all the neck cracking and grunting 🤮 i cringe when he's onscreen

[seriouslydidijustdothat]

Anyone else think Vigilante is the adult/law edition of Revenge of Others? 👀

[doyou000me]

he is a silly fan boy with a giant mancrush

the murder is just extra sprinkles on top

he sounds like a silly boy with a crush 😭
