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.

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:

Second Male Leads That Make Me Want to Punch Them in the Face

Second male leads are the necessity of all dramas it seems.  Even if there is no second female lead (which occasionally happens) there is rarely never a second male lead.  More often than not, these second male leads are adorable and give us the syndrome of loving them (almost) more than the male lead and being heartbroken for them that they never had any chance at all with the female lead.  However, at least a third of the time these second male leads come straight from the devil.  They are so freaking annoying that you just wish they didn't exist.


With the end of Soon Jung and My Unfortunate Boyfriend, it becomes necessary to compile a list in honor of these second males leads that we hate so much we want to punch them in the face every time they are on the screen.  EVERY SINGLE TIME.  Ugh.  So here are some of the worst I have seen.

87. Goong aka Princess Hours 궁 (2006) Korean

Yoon Eun Hye, Joo Ji Hyun, Kim Jung Hoon, Song Ji Hyo

Drama Rating: 4.5/10     Neck Score: C

This is a C for bad neck wear.  I'm talking to you Cat in the Hat bow ties, lame collars, turtlenecks, and gay necklaces.  Also amazingly bad hair.  That should put it to C---.  Also, I hate Yul, that bitca.  Ok, as much as this show sucks, I had to watch it.  It was like crack too.  I think the parts that make it weirdly horrible is the fact that this is literally a modern sageuk, with the whole princess and palace crap.  So she's an ordinary girl but somehow she is chosen to marry the crown prince.  This leads to problems as he is still caught up on the other girl Hyo Rin (Ji Hyo) who turned him down, but now regrets her choice.  Then there is Yul, who is the bitca of the piece.  Seriously, he is the bitca while Hyo Rin is more like the other dude.  She's the man and he is the conniving bitca.  The crap that goes on in the palace is something that would only fly in Joseon times, seriously.  The bitca Yul and her his bitca mom are completely cray cray.  Everyone you started out liking at the beginning turns out to be lame and the people you didn't like at first turn out to be the only cool people.  Seriously.  When you first meet the prince you think he's a bratty jerk, but he turns out to be the only person you love, while Yul, who you think is a nice guy is really a bitca.  You start out liking the king and thinking the queen is too harsh and then you're like "the king is a stupid jerk and the queen is the only smart person here!"  Also it gets really draggy because it's 24 when it should only be 20 episodes (another thing that makes it like a sageuk).  The ending is also like wut?  But still, once you start watching you have to finish it, even if you are screaming about how much you hate Yul the whole second half.  Also those little teddy bear ending scenes.  At first I thought they were weird, but then they were some of the only things I loved.  This show (head shake).
