Why...do I always fall for the second leads?
Why can't I just choose the male protagonist that the writer wanted for the female protagonist?
Is this pity? Is this stubbornness? or I just really feel the connection when someone loves despite not being loved back?
Apparently, there is really such thing like second lead syndrome. I'm not the only one who actually likes the second lead better than the leading man.
According to what I found out, this is when readers or watchers desperately wishes that the female lead would end up with the supporting male protagonist instead.
Desperately.. in my case, I would cry and feel heartbroken for HIM.
I would blame the writers, the director and most specially the female lead for not seeing how much she is missing just by ignoring another man's love for her.
Do you know him? He is the second male lead in a K-drama and I wished he was the one she picked because he showed her for so many times how much he loved her dearly.
Korean dramas mostly are the ones really good at setting this syndrome to their avid watchers. They like to torment us by making us witness another character's one-sided love. A love taken for granted.
The bad guy is always chosen. ALWAYS. Maybe because it is a trend? Or a better fantasy by other women to be able to change a man in 360 degree turn and make him someone better because of his love for her...
In reality, many guys or even girls are taken for granted because the society has set a standard that sometimes is so messed up.
Not because someone is there means he is the right one. What if the One is just a little late? Or too shy to show himself?
Why do we base someone's love by their efforts and flowery words and not by sincerity?
I'm not really sure if someday I will follow the trend or not but I'm hoping that my heart and brain would work together so my soul will not be crashed.
If someday, just maybe someday...
Two people would love me at the same time and I have choose between them, I want to be rational. I will use my brain and not just my heart. I would look at the bigger picture. I would look back and forward on moments I got to spend with them.
Love should be deep for both sides. I should not only love me but he also is because in the end, we are both in the relationship.
We could both suffer for choosing each other when we are not really meant to be.
This is not just my heart in stake here but both of us because this decision matters. Love should never be taken lightly. It is not something we can turn back if we want out and something we would beg for if it slipped away from us.
This second lead syndrome made me believe that every guy has different way of expressing love. Some stay quiet but passionate and others are bold and very outspoken.
Everyone has the chance to fall in love and the chances we take must be sincere and heartfelt and not just based on what's now or pressure...
You deserve the best man/woman to love you unconditionally.
Love should always prevail no matter what.
