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.

Male Leads Who Are As Frustrating As Heck
With the end of Warm and Cozy, we have to talk about the fact that Baek Geon Woo was probably one of the most frustrating male leads ever. I wanted to like him, but couldn't, because he wasn't the same (or nice) for more than two seconds. He was so freaking frustrating!
Anyways, it made us scream all the time. It didn't help that The Producers also had two of the most frustrating male leads ever. I seriously wanted to grab those boys by the shoulders and shake some sense into both of them. So I made a list of all the most frustrating male leads. There are so many that are just jerks, and for too long, and its just bah! So here are the ones that made my list:

Couples Who Have More Chemistry Than the Main Couple
I've been planning on writing this ever since I finished Bridal Mask, so it's pretty overdue, but here goes:
There are so many cases when the main couple just doesn't have the chemistry we'd like. Or even if they have decent chemistry they get upstaged by the side couple, or a couple that is completely non-existent in terms of that particular drama (but those actors better start dating in real life). Secondary romances get us through many a melodrama, and quite often upstage the main romance all together.
I know my OTP is often not the main couple, even if I like them too. So here are some real OTPs, or at least some couples with more chemistry than the main couple.

2. Boys Over Flowers 꽃보다 남자 (2009) Korean
Lee Min Ho, Ku Hye Seon, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Kim Joon
Drama Rating: 3/10 Neck Score: B+
Nearly killed dramas for me. I guess when I was expecting 16 episodes and it wasn't... The only thing that saved me from a certain death was Kim Bum swooping in every episode to do something random with her friend. Also there were 4+ really hot men with hot necks. I guess the F4 is probably why everyone loves this show. It's definitely something you need to experience if you want to understand all the references that will be made to it, since it's one of those classics. Almost Paaaaaaradise! I watched it a second time, only the good parts, and it took me 6 hours. 6 out of 25 is still decent, I 'spose. Having read the manga and watched the Japanese drama as well, there is not much I can really say against it, though. The Korean version seems to miss the point a little more than the Japanese drama misses the point. They make the girl too nice. This is essentially a story about a girl, who is pretty much a bitca (Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference), who can't make up her mind who is being chased by a bad boy- a real jerk mind you- who will never change his mind. They cute-ify it in the drama world, which makes the ridiculous mom drama parts seem more cruel than they would if they were all actually real jerks like they are in the manga, but maybe that's just me on my soap box. But I could stand to see Geum Jan Di flip people off as many times as she did in the manga. Just saying.
