In timeless stories, the evil characters are as famous as the main characters that they bother. But the stronger and more evil the character is, it is a bigger harm to the image of an actor.

This is why famous actors didn't take on evil roles, and new or unknown actors who wanted to leave a lasting impression took on these roles.

The actress who has received the most recognition for her evil role is Song Yoon-ah. In "Mister Q", she bothered Kim Hee-seon, the female lead, for Kim Min-jong. Viewers remembered her for her evil role, but now, she is receiving lots of love for her great acting in various roles.

Kim Tae-hee, a top star today, also rose with an evil role. She would stare at Choi Ji-woo with piercing eyes in SBS "Stairway to Heaven". Then, she changed her image through dramas "Forbidden Love", "Love Story in Harvard", and movie "The Restless".

Lee Bo-yeong, who has an innocent image, received popularity for her execution of an evil role. She left a lasting impressi...

The blockbuster-making duo Sin Woo-cheol and Kim Eun-sook have teamed up again to create SBS' new drama "On Air".

Producer Sin and TV scriptwriter Kim masterminded the hit SBS dramas "Lovers in Paris" (2004), "Lovers in Prague" (2005) and "Lovers" (2006). Their biggest hit, "Lovers in Paris", which starred actress Kim Jeong-eun and actor Park Shin-yang, brought in a record viewer rating of 56.3 percent.

Now, Sin and Kim are pooling their talent to create an entirely new and refreshing miniseries. They started off by exchanging their trademark byword "lovers" for a much less romantic title, "On Air". And that's not the only thing different about their latest project.

"'On Air' is about how a drama is made", said Shin at a press conference last week. "It will start with the planning of a drama, to its casting, its filming, the airing of the first episode, the viewer ratings, and will go all the way through to the airing of the last episode. This drama will show the entire proces...

Initially, the role was first suggested to Kim Ah-joong but she was under an exclusive contract with a shampoo company and a contract term states that she maintains long hair until the contract finishes. So the role was given to Yoon Eun-hye, who was prepared to cut her hair short for the role.

Last year's big issue, "Fantastic Couple"'s Jo An-na, Han Ye-seul, was also a substitute cast of Uhm Jung-hwa who refused the role due to her busy schedule from releasing her 9th album at the time. Despite the fact, Han Ye-seul brought out the ...
