A well-written plot, relatable characters and top-notch cinematography will certainly catch every viewer's attention. But an infuriating, unpredictable villain keeps viewers' interest in check!

With that said, here are the four antagonizing K-Drama villains that everyone hated this 2022.

1. Jang Deok Su (Heo Sung Tae)

Veteran actor Heo Sung Tae showed his impressive acting performance as the annoying player Jang Deok Su in the megahit series "Squid Game." Even after a year since its release, viewers still hated his character the most!

He will do anything to achieve his goals, even if it means letting his peers die in front of him.

But did you know that he's a sweetheart in real life? Many people will be shocked to see how shy and timid he is off camera! Just goes to show how amazing he is.

2. Kook Yeon Soo (Kim Da Mi)

The perfect anti-heroine of her own story, Kook Yeon Soo. Played by award-winning star Kim Da Mi, she effortlessly showed her character's loveable side, and even her worst personalities!

Unlike other villains, she isn't one to resort to violence. However, she lets herself become a hindrance in finally becoming happy. Kook Yeon Soo lets her thoughts get in the way, making herself suffer alone.

But in the end, she fought her own demons and her immense love for her partner Choi Woong (Choi Woo Sik) prevailed!

3. Oh Ju Hyung (Baek Hyun Jin), Andrew (Lee Joo Seung), Oh Yeon Ok (Bae Hae Sun)

In times of distress and a crazy zombie apocalypse, unity and lending a helping hand are the most important things to survive.

However, in the 2021-2022 apocalyptic drama "Happiness" led by Han Hyo Joo and Park Hyung Sik, everyone was well-loved except the residents of the apartment including Oh Ju Hyung (Baek Hyun Jin), Andrew (Lee Joo Seung) and Oh Yeon Ok (Bae Hae Sun).

They perfectly got under viewers' skins for their selfish acts towards people during the zombie outbreak.

4. Lee Na Yeon (Lee Yoo Mi)

Lee Na Yeon is a snob, condescending person who only thinks of her welfare in the worldwide hit zombie apocalypse series "All of Us Are Dead." 

She is played by actress Lee Yoo Mi, who first appeared in "Squid Game," who ironically received love for her previous role.

In the drama, she gained a lot of hate after she constantly looked down on a poor schoolmate. She is also the first one to demand everyone whom she thinks is "infected" to leave the room.
