Anti Hero ML / Real bad guys / criminals

Dramas where ML or SML (only if he is almost ML with his own storyline and not secondary character whose story just supports main leads) are real anti heroes, almost villains, killers, criminals, cruel, bad guys( in general or real bad/cruel to FL).

Not the ones, who are pictured as bad in beginning of the drama because of misunderstanding and really didn't do anything bad.

sorted  by "badness" of ML, also "goodness" of the drama order

  • Arthdal Chronicles Part 3: The Prelude to All Legends

    7. Arthdal Chronicles Part 3: The Prelude to All Legends

    Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes

    from 3 main male leads one is real anti hero/villain (though this drama isn't simple with one and strictly defined villain) and second is very multilayered character, you can't say is he good guy or bad, at list he becomes worst, he doesn't want but situations make him choose path which is cruel and he didn't wanted to become cruel....
    also from 2 main female leads one is anti hero/questionable morality

    *** drama has 3 parts, I just tagged third because anti hero/villain vibes are more strong here
