PSA: Second Lead Syndrome

In recent years a growing epidemic has emerged. It occurs predominately in females aged 15-45 who habitually view television dramas of Asian origin. Naturally I'm referring to what has been termed, by its sufferers as, "Second Lead Syndrome."

Do you find the second male lead in dramas cute, sweet, and in almost all ways completely perfect and deserving of the main girl's love and devotion? Do you find yourself disgusted by the main girl choosing the bad boy main male lead in the end, no matter how much character development he's undergone to become a better person? Do you find yourself yelling at the screen, demanding to know what on earth is WRONG with this girl for overlooking the clearly superior second male lead who is the epitome of the ideal boyfriend/husband? 

If you've answered yes to any of these questions you too may be a sufferer of Second Lead Syndrome. If this is the case, you have my sympathies. In case you haven't noticed from the numerous dramas you've watched up until this point, the nice guy second lead hardly ever gets the girl so you are in for potentially years of future disappointments.

But thankfully you're not alone and there is help for those of you dealing with this condition. Further entries will help provide you with needed support.
