Quick Poll: Evil Ladies of Kdramas While the protagonists are the ones around whom the plot is supposed to move, the evil villains are the ones who make the plot a lot more interesting and memorable. As for the leads, most of them are supposed to have same set of characteristics that a protagonist is supposed to have, but with villains, the writers always have freedom, because of which we end up seeing them as more complex and twisted characters. Below, you'll find a compilation of evil female characters from Kdramas, each leaving a lasting impression despite being disliked. As this is a Quick Poll, we've narrowed down our selection to just 19 options. Here's the list of the Evil Ladies: 1. Kim Joo Young - Sky Castle 2. Kwon Yoon-Jin – My Happy Ending 3. Jeong Su-Min – Marry My Husband 4. Park Yeon Jin - The Glory 5. Cheon Seo Jin - The Penthouse 6. Queen Dowager - Under The Queen's Umbrella 7. Choi Mi Yeon - Mask 8. Jung Sun Ah - The Devil Judge 9. Park Hoo Ja - My Fellow Citizens 10. Noh Hwa Young - Military Prosecutor 11. Choi Myung Hee - Vincenzo 12. Head Court Lady Jo - Red Sleeve 13. Choi Yoo Jin - K2 14. Lady Choi - Daejang Geum 15. Lady Mishil - Great Queen Seondeok 16. Han Je Kook - Graceful Family 17. Empress Yoo - Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (Moon Lovers) 18. Park Heang Ja - Its Okay Not to be Okay 19.

So, we went from this to this, Because of him, Makes sense Getting a house makes sense, got to pay for a certain contract marriage, I totally agree More like Deja Vu with extra options I'd say I feel for the Family Jewels of the dude who does that what if the MIL is from heaven?

Please tell me you didn't vote yet so that you can vote for him

Event: Latest Drama Tropes: 3 scenes from a drama Chingus, imagine that you have been selected as the lead in a drama, and the script has got the following 3 scenes: The ML or FL wrist grabs you. Chaebol ML/FL suggests to have a marriage contract with you where you can add only 1 clause the they got to follow. Its raining, and you are about to fall over, but the ML/FL miraculously arrive with umbrella and save you from falling. Now with these 3 scenes, since the writer is kinda confused, they give you some options to choose and they would be going ahead with your choice. For the first scene, you have the choice of choosing what you will be doing in case the lead wrist grabs you. For the second scene, you have to select what clause you would want to be added in the Contract. For the third scene, you have the option of choosing any kdrama character from the list who would be your savior from the fall. Here is the list of characters you can choose from for your 3rd scene: 1. Goo Jun Pyo (Boys Over Flowers) 2. Shin Se Gi (Kill Me Heal Me) 3. Ahn Min Hyuk (Strong Woman Do Bong Soon) 4. Kim Shin (Goblin) 5. Lee Yeon (Tale of the Nine Tailed) 6. Go Ae Shin (Mr. Sunshine) 7. Do Bong Soon (Strong Woman Do Bong Soon) 8. Lee Jun Ki (Laughter in Waikiki) 9. Seo Jung Hoo/Park Bong Soo (Healer) 10. Hong Du Shik (Hometown Cha Cha Cha) 11. Ri Jeong Hyeok (Crash Landing on You) 12. Lee Hwi (The King's Affection) 13. Do Ha Na (Uncanny Counter) 14.

We'll add it to poll options! Happy Voting! Your Friendly neighborhood and Resident EOs @Sleepy Owl @partyon @agenth @confusedheart Tagging:

I have added "My Lovely Boxer" in my watchlist. When this drama started, I was already too much into drama slump that I wasn't really interested to check out a drama which I am unsure of. But yes, Lee Sang Yeob is a very good and underrated actor. But its really good to see him getting lead roles now, and I hope he will get the recognition he deserves so that we get to see him more good dramas Sounds interesting to me! She might get annoyed on the smallest of things in a drama, and then ignores the biggest of the things in another one You didn't finish it yet? Well, I mean yes, the Master's son was a lot better, and seemed to have improved a bit I guess. It surely started off very well, and had somehow a fresh concept of plot for vampires and everything. But then like you said, somehow the writers decided to change stuff, and things went the way they shouldn't have. I mean I dropped it, but still was very disappointed by that ending

I watched around 20 KDramas this year, I am only counting the ones that aired in 2023, else I watched a bit more since I re-watched some dramas when I wasn't much interesting in the ongoing dramas. Counting in the movies, not sure how many I watched, but I doubt it would be more than 5-6 this year too. But yeah, 20 Kdramas that aired in 2023, comparing this to last year, I had watched 25 kdramas. Over the years even for me the number of kdramas watched are decreasing somehow. I am finding most of the new dramas less engaging. But then again, there are some 2023 dramas that are in my watchlist and I will soon watch them, like "Twinkling Watermelon" and "Goryeo-Khitan War". You see, in Vampires, they usually bring in some plot where vampires are lead or so, I have watched a few Vampire dramas, but not that many. Not so much into this genre, but wouldn't mind watching it if the plot is interesting. I sort of enjoyed "Blood" when it first came since I found the concept kinda new for vampire drama, but then that drama started going downhill. In Zombie dramas, the basic plot is same, which is survival, but the stakes are too high in it, you never know which character may end up getting infected. The characters are always in danger in such dramas (even though leads always have thick plot armors), which makes it even more interesting. But yes, not the best genre to watch while eating Maybe somewhere around late Feb or March? I think I am ready to rewatch it now! Surely @kokodus Chingu will love it, this is like the lightest of the makjang dramas I have ever watched with a very good plot He was @agenth Chingu's most favorite character in this drama, wasn't he?
