Nice Guys Always Seem To Finish Last or 2nd male lead syndrome. We explore the details.
Boys Over Flowers, Pasta, When It’s At Night. How many dramas have you seen, where you find yourself wishing the second male lead would somehow win the lead female’s heart rather than the lead male? I am currently feeling this way on my new favorite drama Flower Boy Raymun Shop. Yang Eun Bi is torn between Cha Chi Soo and Choi Gan Hyuk.
Cha Chi Soo Is a bratty 18 year old chaebol that through a series of typical k-drama events has become entangled in Yang Eun Bi’s life. I’m not going to go into too much detail about the story line because there might be some who haven’t seen this drama yet. I don’t want to spoil it because this show is just THAT good and everyone needs to see it. Cho Gan Hyuk is the new owner of Yang Eun Bi’s father’s ramen shop and the two men are hilarious as they use their own strengths to win Yang Eun Bi’s heart. An experienced drama watcher knows that no matter how nice, handsome and in some cases rich the 2nd male lead is, the lead female, in the end she will choose the leading male actor. My question is why? Yes, the male lead usually undergoes some amazing personality transformation that turns them from a major jerk into a caring loving person. A prime example of this is in Shining Inheritance.
