6 Creepiest Psychopath Characters From K-Dramas To Haunt You In Your Dreams
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 6 scariest psychopaths from K-Dramas who are so creepy they will haunt you in your dreams!
