5 Creepiest Psychopathic Characters From K-Dramas To Haunt You In Your Dreams

Oh please, please spare our lives.

Psychopaths, by definition, are those characterized by an “egocentric and antisocial personality — marked by a lack of remorse for one’s actions, an absence of empathy for others, and often criminal tendencies”. And in many thriller K-Dramas, actors have had to step out of their comfort-zones and put their acting skills to the test by portraying these villain-type characters. Here are 5 scariest psychopaths from K-Dramas who are so creepy they will haunt you in your dreams!

1. Lee Dong Wook in Hell Is Other People (2019)

Actor Lee Dong Wook took on the role of the psychopathic dentist Seo Moon Jo in his 2019 series Hell Is Other People. His portrayal of the creepy murderer became too creepy that the viewers felt uncomfortable watching the show!

2. Kim Jae Wook in Voice (2017)

Actor Kim Jae Wook took on the role of the hopeless psychopath Mo Tae Goo in his 2017 series Voice. While the character Mo Tae Goo was an unforgivably horrifying murderer, Kim Jae Wook was throned one of the “Sexiest Villains” of K-Drama history, thanks to this show.

3. Choi Tae Joon in Missing 9 (2017)

Actor Choi Tae Jun took on the role of the unstoppable serial killer Choi Tae Ho in his 2017 series Missing 9. As Choi Tae Ho, Choi Tae Jun really kept the viewers on the edges of their seats as he kept “killing off” his co-stars’ characters while stranded on an island with them.
