From Best to Worst – Tsundere

I decided to make this list because I've just been seeing so many tsunderes lately

This is a very flawed list that needs to be updated

    Nam Soohyun (played by actor Bae Inhyuk) is a depressed guy who turns tsundere when he starts to recover. He was quite mean the first few episodes, but the majority of the drama he was adorable. One will be able to forgive him.

    8.0

    Mamura Daiki (played by Shirahama Alan) is a calm type of tsundere (this manga gives me serious SLS).

    33. The Romance of Tiger and Rose

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    8.5

    Han Shou (played by actor Ryan Ding) is honestly a very scary type of tsundere... do not recommend befriending this type of tsundere in real life, no matter how cute the non-murderous characteristics are...

  • True Beauty

    34. True Beauty

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.0

    Han Seoyun (played by Hwan Inyeop) is the bad boy type of tsundere. But he doesn't stand out much compared to other entries on this list, which is why his tsundere rank is mediocre. Suho as well...

  • Mr. Heart

    35. Mr. Heart

    Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    7.0

    The character Jin Won (played by actor Cheon Seungho) tries to depict a classic type of tsundere, but with a young kind of vibe. His tsundereness is ok, but it's noting spectacular. In the beginning of the drama he's just meh, then he gets better. A little boring compared to other entries. 

  • Falling into Your Smile

    36. Falling into Your Smile

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 31 episodes

    7.5

    Character K (played by actor Gao Han) is who I had in mind when I added this drama to the list. His tsundereness is mostly present at the start of the drama. But after a while you just stop thinking that he is a tsundere character. My point: he's a mediocre tsundere. 

  • We Best Love: No. 1 For You

    37. We Best Love: No. 1 For You

    Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    4.5

    Zhou Shu Yi (played by actor YU) is supposed to depict a classic tsundere character. He's even supposed to be half Japanese and spurts out Japanese words when he trows a tsundere-fit every so often. But I feel like they tried too hard to make him seem like a classic tsundere that he just becomes a bit plain, compared to other tsunderes on this list, instead.

  • Lost Romance

    38. Lost Romance

    Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 20 episodes

    8.0

    Si Tu Ao Ran (played by actor Marcus Chang) is the overbearing CEO type of tsundere lol

    Korean Drama - 2020, 24 episodes

    7.5

    Shin Gahyun (played by actress Nam Jihyun) is the introverted and low-key type of tsundere. Her defensive tsundereness is mostly present in the start of the drama.

  • Sweet Home

    40. Sweet Home

    Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes

    9.0

    Lee Eunyoo (played by actress Go Minsi) is a tsundere. Yes, she just is a tsundere. That's it.

  • Are You Human Too?

    41. Are You Human Too?

    Korean Drama - 2018, 36 episodes

    9.5

    The human Nam Shin (played by actor Seo Kangjoon) is technically a tsundere. But he's mostly just mean. I enjoy it when Nam Shin 3 imitates Nam Shin and his tsundere personality, haha ^^

  • Cinderella and the Four Knights

    42. Cinderella and the Four Knights

    Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Jiwoon (played by actor Jung Ilwoo) is a tsundere, but he doesn't really stick out. His tsundere fits aren't that severe and he's mostly just kind.

    43. Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru

    Japanese Drama - 2020, 8 episodes

    8.0

    Takatsuki Tsubaki (played by actor Yokohama Ryusei) is just a normal tsundere. A tsundere that's so classic and normal that his tsundere acts get kind of boring at times. 

  • Skate Into Love

    44. Skate Into Love

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

    7.0

    Tang Xue (played by Janice Wu) is a very low-key tsundere. But she's also overly positive and that's what I don't like about her. There are other tsundere characters in Skate into Love too. 

  • Wolf Girl and Black Prince

    45. Wolf Girl and Black Prince

    Japanese Movie - 2016

    8.5

    Maybe I'm a little biased with this one *uhum*. Most likely this movie should be lower down the list, but I just kinda like this movie... what can I say ^^; Sata Kyoya (played by actor Yamazaki Kento) is a tsundere that slightly leans towards more of the mean side of the spectrum.  

  • About Youth

    46. About Youth

    Taiwanese Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    8.5

    Ray (played by actor Hsu Shuo Ting) is a sensitive tsundere.

  • Secret Garden

    50. Secret Garden

    Korean Drama - 2010, 20 episodes

    3.0

    I did not enjoy Secret Garden very much and it's largely because of our tsundere main character Kim Joowon (played by actor Hyun Bin). He's a very mean type of tsundere who thinks he's better than everyone else. 

  • Good Morning Call

    51. Good Morning Call

    Japanese Drama - 2016, 17 episodes

    8.5

    53. Utsukushii Kare

    Japanese Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

    2.5

    Kiyoi Sou (played by actor Yagi Yusei) is a classic type of tsundere. Maybe he should be higher, but I didn't like this drama very much is why.

    54. Hana Yori Dango

    Japanese Drama - 2005, 9 episodes

    8.0

    Domyoji Tsukasa (played by actor Matsumoto Jun) is the 2nd worst tsundere out of the F4 drama series. It's also the original.

    55. Boys Over Flowers

    Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes

    7.5

    Goo Joonpyo (played by actor Lee Minho) is the worst tsundere character out of the F4 adaptations.

    Japanese Drama - 2016, 10 episodes

    7.5

    Shibasaki Kanata (played by actor Yamazaki Kento) is so mean. He is a tsundere, but he's so mean... that's why he's at the bottom of this list.
