Second lead gets the girl

I've only watched three K dramas while sitting at home and I think they're amazing. But I have gotten myself into second lead syndrome. Can you suggest me some dramas where

The girl falls in love with the guy, then the guy ditches her and after that she ends up with her friend
The second lead appears in third or fourth episode and ends up with the girl
Not a tragic end
No childhood dark past/secret
The second lead is full of life

I've watched reply 1988 but I found Taek was obvious as the hints were given. I want something where you could not guess but very much satisfied with the ending. Also that's my first post. Please forgive my mistakes. Thank you ^.^<3

Hmm really tough, I could give you a few where the second lead gets the girl or some dramas where the female lead takes her time to decide who to choose until much later in the drama, but the rest of the things you have mentioned do not match

Dream High is the closest, but even then I wasn't 100% sure they ended up together in the long run, in my personal opinion it's closer to an open ending, basically her ending up alone

Mild spoiler for the ending Not sad, it has an upbeat good ending, but I found that romantically it wasn't a satisfying ending.

Huge spoiler for the ending The second lead got the girl, but then he got a job of his dreams, left the country and they don't really see each often. It left me with the question "Will they ever be able to be together?"
