The Ultimate Second Lead Syndrome: 5 K-Dramas That Will Break Your Heart
- IMDb
Gaya Hidup, VIVA Banyuwangi – Who hasn't experienced Second Lead Syndrome while watching a K-drama? The phenomenon of falling for the kind, caring second lead who is sadly not destined to be with the main character often leaves viewers feeling heartbroken and frustrated. Here are 5 K-drama recommendations that offer the strongest second lead syndrome ever!
1. Start-Up
Han Ji Pyeong (Kim Seon Ho) in this drama successfully stole the viewers' attention with his cold-on-the-outside-warm-on-the-inside character. He is always there for Seo Dal Mi (Bae Suzy), providing support and guidance selflessly. Unfortunately, Dal Mi chooses Nam Do San (Nam Joo Hyuk) instead.
2. Reply 1988
Jung Hwan (Ryu Jun Yeol) is the definition of silent but deep love. He has loved Deok Sun (Hyeri) for a long time, but he is too shy to express his feelings. In the end, Deok Sun ends up with Choi Taek (Park Bo Gum). Ouch, it hurts!
3. True Beauty
Han Seo Jun (Hwang In Yeop) with his bad boy charm and his indifferent but actually caring attitude made many viewers fall in love. He is always there for Lim Ju Gyeong (Moon Ga Young), but unfortunately, Ju Gyeong chooses Lee Su Ho (Cha Eun Woo).
4. While You Were Sleeping
Jung Jae Chan (Lee Jong Suk) is indeed a kind and loving man, but Han Woo Tak (Jung Hae In) with his sweet smile and cheerful attitude is no less attractive. Woo Tak is the second lead who makes viewers wish he could find happiness with Nam Hong Joo (Bae Suzy).
5. Uncontrollably Fond
Shin Joon Young (Kim Woo Bin) and No Eul (Bae Suzy) are indeed destined to be together, but Choi Ji Tae (Im Joo Hwan) is an unforgettable second lead. Ji Tae is a good man and always supports No Eul, even though he knows No Eul loves another man.
