  • Ashes of Love

    1. Ashes of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 63 episodes

    SPOILERS AHEAD:

    At first it seems like he slowly descends into villainy but later I realised he was very manipulative even from the beginning. He seems nice but turns into a villain as the drama progresses.  Female lead was not the only reason he went to the dark side, but she was a huge part of it. 

    Also, the actor who plays the SML is SO DAMN GORGEOUS AND GREAT WITH ACTING! There is a scene in it in which he shows so many different emotions in a single scene, without saying a single word.  

    Absolutely loved his character'S obsession 5/5

  • Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang

    2. Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang

    Korean Drama - 2005, 17 episodes

    SML is an ahjusshi, older than FML. He is a powerful man, and is willing to do anything to keep FML by his side, he is that obsessed. 

    I rate his obsession 4/5

  • Cruel Romance

    3. Cruel Romance

    Chinese Drama - 2015, 40 episodes

    SML is a total villain, and his obsession with the female lead is pretty unhealthy and he seems unhinged at times. He had no redemption qualities. 

    I rate it 3.5 out of 5 though, because of some reasons. 

  • The Tale of Nokdu

    4. The Tale of Nokdu

    Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes

    SML here is also a total villain. Yet he loves the FML. I use the word 'love' instead of 'obsession',  because I really believe he did love her. He was not obsessed to the point of keeping her by his side even without her consent. But he was a villain, a heartless baddie who only had a heart for the female lead. 

  • My Strange Hero

    5. My Strange Hero

    Korean Drama - 2018, 32 episodes

    This SML is not THAT obsessive. But he is a bad person and is obsessed with the FML. He has redemption qualities though.

  • Goong

    6. Goong

    Korean Drama - 2006, 24 episodes

    SML has a very unhealthy romantic obsession with the female lead.  Sometimes its even creepy. 

  • Tale of the Nine-Tailed

    7. Tale of the Nine-Tailed

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    The psycho guy who is obsessed with the FML is not a SML. But he does have a romantic interest in the FML. He has been obsessed with her for a long time. He was really handsome yet creepy. 

  • Vincenzo

    8. Vincenzo

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    The villain, who is really handsome, is obsessed with the FML. He kinda cares about her too as he went easy on her many times while he was really cruel to others. Still he was a total psychopath and did hurt the FML a lot. 

  • My Only Love Song

    9. My Only Love Song

    Korean Drama - 2017, 20 episodes

    the SML is also the villain and is really cruel. But his character is overall very comical. I liked it though. 

  • Love and Redemption

    10. Love and Redemption

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 59 episodes

    SML doesn't admit that he likes the FML but he does a lot of bad things under the guise of 'righteousness'. It's apparent he is doing it because he likes the FML. He was actually really unlikeable. 

  • Que Sera Sera

    11. Que Sera Sera

    Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes

    Both MLs are jerks. The SML seems like a nice person in the beginning but he starts to become bad. He had an obsession with the FML. 

  • Eternal Love

    12. Eternal Love

    Chinese Drama - 2017, 58 episodes

    The SML is a total jerk. But he stays obsessed with the FML throughout the drama. Even after he has married someone else, he still cares for the FML. He lies about something because he doesnt want to help the FML save the her master because he is jealous.  Didn't really like him. 

  • Link: Eat, Love, Kill

    13. Link: Eat, Love, Kill

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    There is a creepy obsessive stalker in this who can be considered the SML. He was really psycho.

    14. Good Bye, My Princess

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 52 episodes

    Both leads are obsessed with the FML, and the main ML can be considered the SML too for may reasons. He is totally psycho and cruel. Both MLs were selfish and cruel but did many things to be with the FML.  Cruel and manipulative.
