2nd Male Lead Syndrome

I just found out there's a name for such a thing. You know... when you're cheering for the "other guy" even though deep down you know the lead guy and lead girl belongs to each other. The "other guy" who insist on being the selfish bad guy and yet makes the ultimate sacrifice of letting the girl he loves go. I mean there's other types of "other guy"... most common being the best friend of the lead girl who was too late when it came to admitting his real feelings.

So you can see how much I appreciate Choi Young Do's character in Heirs. He's definitely the ultimate 2nd male lead. Props to Kim Woo Bin for making the character so real. You've just ruined all other dramas for me. There won't be other 2nd male leads that would make me cheer for them, as much as you did.

I started googling Kim Woo Bin because I am in much need of distractions right now. High five coz he also 25. He was a model before becoming an actor, no wonder he's so good at projecting facial expressions. But the best find of all was this blog about why Choi Young Do is the #1 catalyst of the 2nd male lead syndrome.
