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.

43. Mischievous Kiss: Love in Tokyo イタズラなKiss～Love in Tokyo (2013) Japanese

Miki Honoka, Furukawa Yuki, Yamada Yuki

Drama Rating: 7/10     Neck Score: A

Best of the Itazura na Kiss dramas, as it sticks closest to the manga and adds less weird embellishments that make an already lame story lamer.  Next best is probably the Taiwanese version It Started With a Kiss... but only if you like Jiro Wang.  Anyways, we have a 16 year old, a 26 year old, and a 23 year old and they're all playing high school seniors.  The dudes are way better at looking that young than the 16 year old girl at looking older when they grow up and become college students.  What makes this the best one of all these is actually Furukawa Yuki.  How does he do that impassive face while still letting us know exactly what he's thinking.  I swear his face doesn't change but we can still read the new expression.  Every time he is jealous, every time he is attracted to her, every time he likes her, every like he thinks she's ridiculous.  Also, she is more likeable than most of the others, playing this crazy girl role in a more realistic and relate-able way.  It works because we can actually tell that he likes her from as soon as he starts liking her, and it doesn't just come off as boredom and anger (cough cough Kim Hyun Joong cough cough).  As silly as this story is, this adaptation is actually fun to watch (especially if you like tall skinny boys and pretty boys with great hair).  Personally thought both boys were hot, decent actors with hot necks.  The most annoying part is her chorus of yell in unison friends.  You don't need to say everything at the same time!  Seriously.
