Hwayi

The block system throws me off ALL THE TIME lol

Eu concordaria, mas sempre lhes dou uma chance porque, na maioria das vezes, eles recebem arcos de redenção.

I'm using translate, so uhhhh my bad if it doesn't make sense. I don't speak Portuguese 🤣

You literally described everything I do xD I don't like every ML I come across but I believe that they'll redeem themselves at the end and be deserving of the FL. SLs, I'll be blunt, I don't give them chances. And tbh, it's not like I'm dampening my feelings and pretend I hate them, I really really dislike them lmao

I really really wanted to do the watch challenge this year, but it's too complicated for me and I just gave up trying to understand it. I've decided it's just better to do my own little challenge that fits my wants.

Thanks for the article ^^

I FINALLY REMEMBERED who the SL was in this. I didn't like him 😂🤣

I believe in you snooze you lose which is why I dislike SLs lol because in a lot of the dramas I've seen, they literally are in love with the FL for like 10+ years and they don't confess until the ML comes around. Like you had all this time to confess, but you didn't xD

In almost all of the dramas I have watched, the SFLs are written in such a way that you have no choice but to hate her. Why? Because they are written as full-on snakes, either sabotaging the FL's work, bullying her, assaulting her, demeaning her, etc.

SMLs I've noticed, are written in such a way that have most viewers going for them. This includes but not limited to being nice to the FL, going out of their way for the FL, thinking the best for the FL. Yes, we all want a man like this irl but dramas to me are to want someone with more character, "bad boy" energy you could say.

Thank you for your comment. It was interesting and very thought provoking.

I start rooting for them AFTER they stop liking the main lead too lol it's not like I wish for their eternal destruction, I just don't like them in the love triangle.

Confession: I mostly skipped over Baek In Ho's scenes lol. I really didn't get the attraction to him.

It's nice to see from the perspective of a male! As a woman, I hardly get SLS from a SFL myself, but the only time it happened was Tempted for obvious reasons if I do say so myself. I try to skip over love triangle dramas too and almost all the romance dramas I've seen have a love triangle. I can't seem to escape it.

Thank you for reading ><

I heard about MFFL from my friend and I guess she had thought the SL was the ML and vice versa. Sometimes the SL has better chemistry with the ML, and that shows poor writing. If the writer constantly confuses the viewers on who the ML and the SL is, then they did not do a very good job of writing the characters.

"And I very much hate the nice guy trick! Like he's nice and caring to the Fl that doesn’t mean she have to like him back?!? Like friendship is as good as relationship, if not better." THIS.

Are you nice just because you expect something back? That's not being nice, that's being manipulative and calculative. I'm generally a nice person, and I never expect someone to either be nice back or give me something back.

You can't force feelings, so if the FL/ML doesn't like the SL back, then they don't like them back. They don't OWE the SL something just because the SL was nice to them.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. I agree completely :)

Oh, I see what you mean! Tbh, I don't watch a lot of first love. Second leads in the shows I've watched always feel entitled to the FL because either he saw her first and/or liked her before the ML and that just extremely bugs me. Hardly is there a time where a second lead accepts the FL's/ML's rejection and stops pursuing them. If you truly loved the main lead, wouldn't you want to see them happy and with someone that happily loves them as well? This is, of course, based entirely on my own experiences.

Thank you! ^^

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment! I'm glad I could create something that you enjoyed :D

You know, it's less hatred and more annoyance. It's something I've been struggling to work on, but I've just come to terms with it and decided I just dislike a lot of SLs in romance dramas. I find it better to dislike, than to be disappointed with the inevitable result of Second-Lead Syndrome.

They do tend to suffer through a lot, and go through their own struggles.

It's worth it 🌝

I got the notification. Feb 2 😭 I've been waiting for my girl, Xing Fei. This is my first drama with HYT so we'll see how that turns out

Thank you for telling me. I've removed him ><

Yup, this one is only for actresses ^^

I like it having 12 eps because if it was 16 eps, they'd drag it out hard and it wouldn't be as fun as it is now.

I genuinely don't think it was supposed to be that big of a surprise since they've hinted multiple times at it.

Or they just failed on that part of the plot twist. It's hard to have a plot twist in crime shows because most watchers already suspect every character introduced. The only thing they can do is not introduce the killer until the end, but it doesn't make it a plot twist if you don't know them already.
