What is the meaning of 꼴?
I was watching a drama and one of the characters said this: 해수가 그런 험한 꼴을 당할 그런 기지배니?
The subtitles translated it as "Is 해수 the type to let something horrible like that happen to her?"

꼴 means (terrible or horrible or ashamed ) situation or state or sight.

험한 꼴 = kind of horrible/terrible/ashamed situation
험한 꼴을 당하다 = experience a horrible/ashamed situation
FYI, '꼴' has negative nuance. People don't use the word to a good or normal situation, only to a negative, awkward and horrible situation :)
