Despite their flaws, mysterious secrets, and turbulent pasts, these characters make us realise that sometimes there’s good in the bad
A hero is a person who is admired by many people for doing something brave or good. To many, a hero is someone who saves other people from trouble without breaking the rules; someone who is good to a fault. But what if the hero has his own flaws? What if he mysteriously hides something? What if he has a dark past? What if he hurts and kills other people? Is he still a hero? For these characters below, they’ve challenged the laws and have gone against the flow. We list down below our favourite K-drama anti-heroes and why we still love them despite the odds.
1. Vincenzo Cassano played by Song Joong-ki | Vincenzo
He’s a consigliere for an Italian mafia family and given this fact, he has had blood on his hands taking people’s lives, punished enemies and amassed wealth. But also, let’s not forget, Vincenzo has helped the tenants of Geumga Plaza to stop the monstrous conglomerate, Babel Group from tearing the building down. Together with his female lead, Jipuragi Law Firm’s Hong Cha-young (Jeon Yeo-been), a feisty lawyer, he seeks justice for the death of Cha-young’s father, the imprisonment of his mother and many more. In the end, he brutally punished Babel Group’s CEO Jang Han-seok (OK Taec-yeon), Wusang Law Firm’s evil senior partner Choi Myung-hee (Kim Yeo-jin) and CEO Han Seung-hyuk (Jo Han-chul), who made his and the lives of many miserable, calling it quits.
