My second lead syndrome list (probably in order from I most hold dearest to the least)
1. Won Bin- autumn in my heart. My first ever, so totally memorable.
2. Jihoo-Boys over Flowers
3. Moon Jae shin- sungkyunkwan scandal
4.Chilbongie- answer me 1994
5. Jun Se- Brilliant legacy/ Shining Legacy . He is probably to me the epitome of the perfect second male lead!
6. Shinhyuk- She was pretty
7. Soo- Hyuk ( Lee Dong Gun )- Lovers in Paris. Him pretending not to remember and the goodbye scene was heartbreaking.
8. Oh Jin Rak ( Kim Ji-Hoon)- Flower Boy Next door
9. Jung Hwan- Answer me 1988
9. Jon-Soo ( On Joo-wan) –Beautiful Gong shim
10. Pil Joo – Greatest Love
Never felt SLS for “My Girl” because the chemistry of Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook was just daebak for me… that I watched Hotel King just for this two.
Yes I also started venturing to lakorn when I hit a kdrama watching slump. I guess having diversity sometimes help pick up my interest again.
and may i add from the lakorn list mentioned above" Ab Ruk online, Panyachon Kon Krua and Leh Nangfah.
You may also want to check "forever Young" Its a Vitenamese-Korean co production.
you may also want to check out web dramas. They are short so you don't have to give the same commitment you need to give to complete a regular drama. Splash Splash love is still my favorite webdrama
this was such a heartwarming drama to watch....its great that there were no psycho antagonist that you wanted to strangle for the whole duration of the show. i love how the importance of a family...although not traditional was at the center of the drama... conflicts were not from ill-intentions but just human frailty. love sangmin and yountae couple.
light watch but the ending was anticlimactic. 2 things i like about the drama:
1. at least i was able to watch Nam Gun Min play a different character.
2. the character of Joon Soo was cute and endearing.. make me want to watch other drama of Ohn Joo Wan. I've seen him only in Punch.
My Girl and My Name is Kim Sam Soon are also based on contract relationships.
Love Full House , Fated to Love you,marriage not dating and Goong among the dramas from the list.
Sunny Happiness was a good watch and I agree with the cute second lead comment.
I just finish a Thai drama "Ton Ruk Rim Rua" which is a contract marriage between to childhood friends. I suggest watching it it if you are wanting to try to start watching a lakorn/ Thai drama and dont know where to start.
"Khun Chai Puttipat" is also a Thai drama with a Fake marriage setup that I enjoyed watching.
For web drama, I can think of "Noble My Love" which was cute and just right due to its short format.
I liked Mark"s character here being goofy and caring at the same time. I just wish his character become more proactive in dealing with the second female lead... his character was just to nice or naive in dealing with her that it could get frustrating sometimes.
I enjoyed He who cant get Married. I love Let eat 2 more than the first season. Absolutely love 9 ends 2 outs.
My other more than 30+ dramas: Gentleman's Dignity, Oh My Venus, Master"s Sun, Greatest Love, Descendants of the Sun, Falling for Innocence, Prosecutor Princess, Cunning Single Lady, Love Marriage, One More Happy Ending
Taiwanese Dramas: In Time with You, Autumn Concerto,, The Pursuit of Happiness
Chinese: My Sunshine
Splash Splash Love was my most favorite!
Other faves were "Just an Ordinary Love", "The reason why I'm getting married", Page Turner, Adolescent Medley, Twenty Years Old.
I should really watch White Christmas one of this days.
