Second Lead Gets the Girl

In some of these dramas the obvious second lead ends up with the girl, in others it is hard to distinguish who the lead and second lead are and the girl ends up with a character I thought (or I know many people have thought) was the second lead throughout.

    All the leads were equally leads though some may seem to be second leads, they are not, especially once you see the end.

    Was surprised but really happy with who she ended up with.

    Both leads are played by the same person but one is a human and another is a hologram. A weird love triangle that had a satisfying ending.

    I knew who the main lead was from MDL. But if I didn't already know, I wouldn't have thought he was the main lead. He also had much better chemistry with the FL.

    A lot of ML's in this one.

    All leads same equally main. The FL ended up with the ML I wanted her to end up with, thoughI really thought she'd end up with the other.

    If you've watched the original you already know who the ML is. I honestly though the second male lead was the main lead but was really happy that I was wrong.

    It was hard figuring out who the main and second leads were in this drama, especially since both male leads had the characteristics of a typical second lead.

    A drama where I honestly had no idea who the ML was but I was so happy that the ML was NOT who I thought it was.

    There is an actual love triangle in this, by that I mean everyone likes everyone (all the arrows connect), it had the perfect resolution for the triangle. Also the ML is an abusive guy who can be likeable but definitely isn't in the drama to be a love interest.

    A drama that I dropped but spoilt, happy that the FL ended up with the guy that put her first.

    Why did I think the ML was going to be the other guy. I was so happy that I was wrong about who the ML was in this drama, this is not a drama where the SML gets the girl, but one where I was mistaken as to who the ML was.

    The only drama (on this list and that I know of) where I did NOT like that the second lead got the girl. It is actually why I dropped the drama.
