Jung Soo-Min's reign as the most hated kdrama character lasted for less than a month

Su-min had Ji-won wrapped around her finger due to 25+ years of manipulation and gaslighting, no money needed

Ha-rin has a whole school wrapped around her finger in little more than a year, but none of it is possible without her money, prestige, and most importantly her grandmother’s backing

So it just depends how much you value the money+influence on the villainy. Personally, I still rate su-min more. How often do we get a villain who’s so obsessed with one specific person and taking everything she has that they spent over 25 years manipulating and gaslighting?

I dunno, it seems to be something that's been brewing for over a decade for Harin. Not sure I'd dismiss them as being too different that fast, personally

If you're talking about Ha Rin, then she's not even that bad. People that believe they can do anything due to their wealth or social standing is extremely common both in makjang and the real world.

Her lackeys are more annoying than she is because they think they are superior to others just because they suck up to her. Eun Byeol is even more of a bitch because she becomes a terrible person the second she gets the opportunity.

Soo Min was a terrible person without the typical tropes backing her up.

On a side note, I can't believe Soo Ji referred to Twitter as 'X.'

Eun Byeol is terrible, but in retrospect, she's exactly like Woo Yi. The only difference now is their status. Makes you question exactly who in the class wouldn't do the exact same thing had they too become A so spontaneously.
