A Guide To Spooky Horror K-Dramas
You’ve experienced it. He walks onto the screen and even though he makes your blood boil, you are strongly attracted to him. *sigh* Don’t worry, it gets me in the feels too, every darn time. He’s bad, you find him despicable, and yet you smile a bit every time he comes on screen. Let’s take this time to salute these bad boys we hate to love, but we do.
No Spoilers!
1. Vick from IRIS
Woo! It’s been a while since I’ve seen IRIS but when talking about the drama there are two things that immediately come to mind: Lee Byung Hun and Vick. You’ll notice that I didn’t say TOP but Vick was such a huge deal in this drama that I have separated the two. The strong silent and very deadly type, Vick slid across the screen in this drama and I haven’t been the same since. If I have to get murdered, I hope my assassin will be as handsome as he is. Does this sound weird?
2. Ryu Tae-oh from Gap Dong
I haven’t finished watching this yet but I know one of the main reasons why I started it was because I saw Lee Joon’s poster come across my twitter timeline. Are you watching this?!?! Elegent, nimble (he does ballet for goodness sakes) and very deadly, he steals the scene. This man is COMPLETELY insane and while I hate all the crime he commits, he is pretty to look at.
3. Kim Do Jin from Three Days
I really disliked this character. He was pure evil. Didn’t care what he had to do or who he had to kill to get what he wanted. But…the classical music, the clean cut suits, I appreciated it. Yes I know all about the cliché, but I still liked it. Oh and the fact he was easy on the eyes probably helped as well.
4. Yong Tae Moo from Rooftop Prince
I am digging in the crates for this one I know, but I am STILL recovering from Tae Moo’s acts and betrayal (along with that Se-Na witch). Episode one, I thought, oh what a handsome, seemingly happy person. How wrong was I? I HATED him! By the end of the drama I wanted blood. I won’t say whether or not I got my wish but let’s just say that as far as bad guys go, he’s on the top of my list.
5. Jang Do Hyung from Suspicious Housekeeper
Crazy, psychotic blankity blank. I really have no words. Yes he’s pretty to look at but I wouldn’t touch this character with a 10 meter pole.
I’m sure there are plenty more but I am getting creeped out just writing this. I keep looking over my shoulder to see if someone is staring at me through the window. Let me know which bad boy is your favorite and why!
