Female Leads Who I Just Can't Get Behind or Relate To

I couldn't write a post on Frustrating Male Leads without including a post about equally as frustrating female leads.  We want girls we can relate to, so we can put ourselves in their shoes and get all the feels when they get the man.  But sometimes all we get is a severe desire to shake some sense into the stupid things because they are just plain stupid, frustrating, annoying, and sometimes just bad actresses.

I understand that not everyone can be a good actor, but if they aren't, then why are they getting cast in lead roles?  Seriously, are they related to someone?  Are they a chaebol or an idol?  Sadly, sometimes they are not, and bad acting can make an already weak character unbearable.  So here are some unbearably not relatable female leads.

With a Side of Second Male Lead Syndrome

As Love Myself or You comes to an end, I felt I just had to pay homage to one of my favorite second male leads of all time, Hao Wei.  There was a time (for like 2 seconds) that I hated him and wanted him to go away, because let's be honest I really want Kai Qi and Ah Jie to be together like 100%.  I love Ah Jie so much that there is no way I would want him to lose... but then Hao Wei just made me love him so much!  I really just want him for myself.  He's like the perfect man!  Hot and nerdy, just how I like them.  And the nicest guy on the planet... yep.

There are so many second male leads that are the same.  Usually I am not voting for them to get the girl necessarily (because I am usually on the side of the male lead in that respect) but I do end up loving the second male lead so much that I wish I could date him in real life.

We all know this is called second male lead syndrome, so in honor of Hao Wei, I have created my list of second male leads who need to be my boyfriend like right now.

Korean Dramas with some of the Best OSTs

I don't think I've ever seen an OST break a show, but they can sometimes make the show, or at least make the show that much better.  Whether the songs are simply just catchy and get stuck in our heads without any sort of permission (ALMOST PAAARADISE!!!!) or if they are super good songs that stick with you and end up in your playlists and purchased items, OSTs are a major part of a drama.  That kiss scene would just not be as good without the swelling love ballad in the background increasing the feels by at least 100%.

Or they can add an additional bit of humor when used at just the right moment:

Here are some of the Korean Drama OSTs that have moved me the most, that have definitely made it into my collection, and are constantly being sung and played by me all.the.time...

Angel Eyes and Heavenly Bodies

This show was designed to make us cry.  I didn't use to be a crier, but Bollywood and old age has changed that.  Now shows like Angel Eyes are sending me off every episode.  Seriously, stop messing with the moms.  They aren't allowed to die and stuff, man!  If there ever was a plot so highly based on the bad fate between a group of people, then this is it.  It was handled as well as a fateful plot can be, but the drama was very extreme.

However, at least this gave us other things as well.  Lots of mens with heavenly, heavenly bodies.

Kim Ji Suk.  Rawr.

90. Angel Eyes 엔젤 아이즈 (2014) Korean

Ku Hye Sun, Lee Sang Yoon, Kim Ji Suk, Seungri

Drama Rating: 6/10     Neck Score: A

A drama designed just to make you cry.  The fate between this group of people in this town is crazy.  That aside, I think the drama itself was well written and that the people themselves at least acted like most people would... except Soo Wan (Ku Hye Sun).  She went a little annoying and cray cray.  I loved the mens in the show.  Lee Sang Yoon and Kim Ji Suk are both hot men.  I wished their bromance hadn't been tainted by the woman... and that fate thing.  They could have been better closer friends (as seen from that what could have been episode part).  Sad day.  The sound track gets an A+ as does the amount of brooding shower scenes.  Also, Seungri steals the show as soon as the drama gets intense... well, he steals the show from the start.  He is so adorable, in face and character.
