I am always surprised when I recall those South Korean actresses and re-watch their web GL series, such as Am I the Only One with the Butterflies (Lee Yoo Ha) and ≥75℃ (Lee Yoo Ri) and not GL series for instance Stranger with Yoon Se-Ah.

I recently learned about SK feminist movement 4B

No dating

No man

No children

No sex

and watched a few documentaries about that.

Lie After Lie. 9

Story: 10

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Secret (kdrama) ; Flower of Evil (kdrama)

A highly emotional rollercoaster border lining a wee lil bit on being over the top sometimes melodrama. It’s sooooooooooooo good though. I mean for me this is one of those hidden rare underrated gems that need to be hyped up more. I had no idea that it came out in 2020 being swept under the rug during the pandemic. It’s a very bing’ble show. Hell I almost watched the entire series in one setting. The entire cast did a remarkable amazing job, the ‘grandmother’ being played by her part brilliantly of one of the best villains, where you absolutely loathe her and cursing her left and right. Then to her opposite you have one of the best strong female leads I’ve seen in a long time played by Lee Yoo Ri (loved her equally in My Father is Strange) who kicked ass. I don’t know if I could’ve of gone through what she did as a character. She was dealt a bad hand in this one. Overall the drama is more intended for more of a maturer audience for its abusive themes and darker  material. It really is well written and highly recommended.

MARRY MY HUSBAND: Episode Four

5 Korean Drama villains who stole the show 

1. Ok Taecyeon as Jung Joon Woo 

Here comes the most favored in Korean drama villains in K-drama history – Jung Joon Woo of Vincenzo played by 2pm’s Ok Taecyeon. The psychopath Jung Joon Woo appears to be a good-looking, kind lawyer at the beginning of the drama but unexpectedly he turns out to be the villain. 

He does all sorts of messed-up deeds from unethical business practices to murdering people after people. He doesn’t even hesitate to torture his own brother and eventually to kill him for money and power. 

But you know what is the most attractive thing about him? That he actually falls in love with the female lead Cha Yong, played by Jeon Yeo Bin. He even gets angry at his brother for sending goons to Cha Yong’s house trying to hurt her. 

And when he confesses his love for her, keeping her at the gun point, you can’t tell me your heart doesn’t flutter at his weird antics. 

I mean even though he is evil, he is still a guy who fell for a girl, that’s kinda sweet and we love a good red flag here. 

All the praise goes to Ok Taecyeon for his phenomenal performance as Jung Joon Woo. His effortless acting skills made it possible for us to love Jung Joon Woo despite hating him so much. 

So, without a doubt Jung Joon Woo is one of the most successful Korean drama villains of all time.    

2. Lee Tae Ri as Imoogi

Next in our list we have the most underrated Korean drama villain in my opinion. While Lee Rang is constantly being mentioned as one of the most loved Korean drama villains, we are sleeping on Imoogi. 

Lee Rang is certainly an important character and he plays his part as the antagonist of Tale of The Nine Tailed but he is not the actual villain, that’s Imoogi. 

Imoogi is a legendary character that is often mentioned in Korean folklore. In the drama too, Imoogi is a cold-blooded negative power who emerged after sleeping for so long. He constantly challenges Lee Yeon, spreads deadly diseases, hypnotizes people, and makes them do whatever he wants. In one word, he is sly and evil.  

He even tries to snatch Lee Yeon’s love interest, so cruel, isn’t it?

But his loneliness is often visible through his evil exterior (and that is what made me absolutely weak). 

About Lee Tae Ri, this was his big break and he absolutely slayed it. He performed exceptionally well especially when his co-actor was someone so popular and experienced like Lee Dong Wook. and His dedication to play the character with perfection has made Imoogi one of the best Korean drama villains ever.

Arthdal Chronicles

The first season of this fantasy story hits close to home. It depicts the cruelty and greed of villages that have the resources, food and technology to take advantage of others. The story doesn't waist time, the first episode starts with the Arthdal leaders asking the Neanthals to become part of their power. The Arthdal are afraid of the peaceful but strong Neanthals and pretend to negotiate, knowing they are not interested. And what do they do? The Arthdal leaders trick their own people and kill the Neanthals in order to take their lands. Asa Hon learns this when she is in the middle of the attack, and in order to safe Neanthal children, she leaves with a child and Ragaz, with whom she later has children with.

Arthdal continues to annihilate weaker villages, taking them as slaves for hard labor. It is Tagon, an Itgu in hiding, that makes all this possible for Arthdal. And even though he is loved by the village as a hero, his father and other leaders are trying to find ways of killing him, including making Mihol's daughter, Teaelha, into a spy. Even though Tagon is cruel, there is an innocence to his longing to be loved and accepted by the people. His relationship with Teaelha is of a love stronger than their ties to their families and interests. And even though we don't like what he does, some times we do wish him success in his endeavors and fight against the Arthdal leaders for power.

But it is the story of the Wahan Tribe that reminds us that Tagon and all Arthdal are cruel and greedy people that have no respect for others. This is a peaceful tribe in a far away land. They are more like Neanthals in their believes but they are also prejudice against Itgus like Eunseom, whose mother leaves him there before she dies. Eunseom's only true friend is Tanya, the daughter of the priestess and scientist of the village.

It is almost impossible to reach the place but Tagon and the Arthdal leaders find the way to reach the land, it takes them 10 years to reach it and less time to destroy it and take its people as prisoners and slaves. Here we see the struggle of these people who get separated, sold into slavery and fight with each other and their enslavers in order to survive. But it also shows the Wahan people mesmerized by the innovations and way of life in this civilized village.

Tanya ties Eunseom to her by naming him her dream and he will do anything to save her, but destiny takes them into two different paths. These two characters are also very naive, their innocence and sense of justice is what makes others follow them. They both want to forge a world where everyone is equal, no prejudice against people that are different, everyone on equal standing.

Tanya's relationship with Saya is a sad one at best. She is using Saya while Saya genuinely likes her. And even though, at some point she sees him as a friend and cares about him, she still uses his affection towards her. But she is not the only one using Saya, so is Tagon who separated him from his mother when he was a child and Teaelha who became his caregiver for Tagon. Still, Saya is not stupid and he knows how to play the game.

This first half ends with the downfall of the rule of the Arthdal leaders: Daekan, White Mountain, and Hae tribes; giving way to Tagon's rule under the name of Aramun; which damages the relationship he had with Teaelha. Tanya is now the high priest while Eunseom becomes a god for the Ago tribe and starts unifying weak tribes to end fights among them and focus on fighting against their common oppressor.

The second season starts 8 years after the final events of the first one. And the fighting is no longer centered on colonialism, but on taking down a threatening force that is not letting them continue with their expansion of territories. I have heard of people wondering why the change of actors for critical characters. I wouldn't have minded seeing the same actors since they are excellent ones and we got used to them. But I didn't mind the changes, I think that these new actors, brought some darkness to the characters that had been innocent and naive in the first season. They have learned to play the game and they are using what they have learned for their gain.

Tagon and Teaelha are no longer the close couple they had been, but they still love each other and have a son that unites them. Theirs is a tragic and powerful love story, tainted by the struggle for power.

In this half, we see Tagon's fall, and the rise of the ideology that drove Tanya and Eunseom into battle. But we are left with an open ending that promises more blood and restlessness. Saya wants Arthdal for his own since he can't have Tanya's love; and Teaelha wants to take Arthdal back as she promised Tagon; while Eunseom struggles to make Arthdal the land he and Tanya had envisioned.

It is the bloody story of a civilization in this fantasy world that reflects the truth about the history of our world so full of tyranny, blood and inequality.

It is not a story with clear lines and we will switch sides as their goals become twisted, but so is the story of rulers in the past and the present. This is a fantasy story, but it also criticizes what makes a country a country - it's bloody history of greedy men.
