K-Drama 
FL chooses SML or someone other than the ML
These are dramas with the female lead chooses the second (or third!) lead over the first. In most cases this means she ends up with the second lead, though sometimes she changes her mind in a later season (like in My First First Love).
I'm also including dramas where it's not immediately obvious who the primary ML is.
