Badass Evil Female Characters in Asian Dramas

Klara H

I'm looking for a good female villain. There are such iconic male villains that are psychotic and pure evil, but I don't really see much of that for women. Normally it's just basic bit*es or school bullies. However, I'm looking for etiher a cold-hearted and badass female character (could be protagonist with shaky morals such as The Villainess, Hotel del Luna, Yong Pal) or a complete psycho like the antagonist in Ms Perfect, or even a serial killer female character which I haven't seen yet or maybe even someone like the witch in Korean Odyssey. Preferably someone young and good looking as it's for editing. Thanks ahead.

Li Changru from the Princess Wei Young goes from being clever (certainly smarter than the initial female antagonist) and relatively badass for a good portion of the drama to more psychotic later on:

Also the ladies from Mr. Sunshine are not villains and their morals are pretty strong but they're such badasses and are willing to resort to violence when necessary and technically they were rebels / outlaws. They'd make a good addition to any compilation: 

+1 for Misty and the K2 even though the protagonist and antagonist in those dramas respectively are not super young. They are definitely badasses with grey morals.

Haha I've got two whole lists for FLs who fight on my account https://mydramalist.com/list/W3rBeo73 or https://mydramalist.com/list/74Kz56m3... but for antagonists not mentioned already: 

Sungkyunkwan Scandal (Female who is a lackey for the Bad Guy but is abused and picks the 'good' side at the end)

The Legends (You could certainly make a case for the FL)

My Absolute Boyfriend (there's a creepy, psychotic Female antag, not kickass though)

Lawless Attorney (more manipulative, and a wolf in sheep's clothing, dunno if you can do anything with this) - Middle Aged 

Graceful Family (manipulative, cold etc. literally has been controlling a chaebol family for 10 years)- middle aged
