1. “Tomorrow” - Park JoongGil
Park JoongGil is a character that many came to appreciate in the fantasy mystery series “Tomorrow”. Because of his cold exterior and his strict by-the-book nature, at the beginning of the series, some viewers might have drawn the conclusion that perhaps he was the villain in the story. However, as his story unfolds, we find out that he is not the villain or the bad guy he is set out to be or look like. Like the rest of the characters, he too was in search of his own redemption as he seeks to protect humanity while doing so.

Resilient, strong, smart, dutiful, and hardworking, in this series, Kim HeeWu unrelentingly pursues justice against a powerful political figure that practically controls the country. Armed with his knowledge of the past and with the help of his comrades, he is able to fight against this seemingly insurmountable figure However, despite the knowledge and having reliving the same situation again, the road is not left without its obstacles as new problems arise. A character that many rooted for, played by the talented Lee JoonGi, this character left a notable impression in the minds of his audience, and with 628 votes, he tanks 2nd on this poll.
3. “Pachinko” - Hansu
Hansu was a complicated character that had us on the edge of our seats biting our nails as we watched his story unfold. An ambitious merchant who seeks money and power and would do anything to get it even joining forces with an organized crime organization, he would ordinarily be categorized as a villain in this story but with the glimpses of good which he expresses throughout the run of the series, viewers might see that his character is not so cut and dry afterall as there are level of complexities to his story.
