YI SAN's Queen Hyo Eui

Alrighty, and we’re back! So far we’ve covered several main character themes found in Korean Dramas, ranging from the unbelievably naive, to the incomprehensibly evil. In case you’ve missed these themes, here they are order of discussion: The Village Idiot, The Jealous Lover, The Evil Minion, and The Evil Mastermind. Now, if you’ve been keeping up from the start, you are aware that for the most part, these character themes are a little on the dark side (save our friend the Village Idiot), but never worry! For we are now taking a turn to the less certifiable side of K-drama, and will be taking a look at The Benevolent Benefactor. This character would usually be dubbed as “the fairy god-mother” or “guardian angel” in Western colloquial terms, but not because they wield a magic wand!  Read on, and get to know this priceless character, and why you wish they were in your corner. [Warning: Possible SPOILERS ahead!]

Mishil from Queen Seon Duk

Hello again, Drama Fans! Over the last few posts we’ve covered three of the most important Characters of Korean Drama: The Village Idiot, The Jealous Lover, and The Evil Minion. Now, we’re going to move on and talk about the one we all love to hate and hate to love: The Evil Mastermind! No doubt one of the most exciting characters in K-dramas, The Evil Mastermind is also one of the more important persons needed in this group of personalities. Think about it… without them, there really wouldn’t be much of a story, now would there!? So needed are they to Korean Drama that often their demise creates a newsworthy dip in ratings and fan-ship, thus causing script writers and producers to figure out ways to prolong their existences until the very last moment possible. How bad-ass is that?  With this in mind, let’s cut  the small talk, and  take a look at our frienemy and what makes them so awesome! THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Kim Gui Joo from Yi San

Hey Everyone and welcome back to another installment of Characters of Korean Drama. Last post we talked about crazy ex’s better known as The Jealous Lover. As annoying as they are, The Jealous Lover is a staple in Korean Dramas and today I’m going to bring up another staple character that is equally annoying: The Evil Minion. The Evil Minion is something special because not only are they a dangerous sort, they can also be interchanged with The Jealous Lover and The Village Idiot. How so, you ask? Well read on and I’ll tell you. (Again, this post may contain possible spoilers!)
