SMLs I'm still not over ;;;

Shigeoka Daiki

Japanese

Kaga Shunpei (Switched): I'm still recovering from this one... I literally thought he was the ML. I am still in disbelief...

Ma Li

Chinese

Gu Nan Xi (Accidentally in Love): I cried so much on the FL's birthday episode ;;;

Gao Zhi Ting

Chinese

Wu Bo Song (A Love So Beautiful): let's be honest, he deserved her more than the ML.

Choi Si Won

South Korean

Kim Shinhyuk (She Was Pretty): everyone agrees on this one.

Lee Jung Shin

South Korean

[HONORABLE MENTION] Kang Seowoo (Cinderella and the Four Knights): this one broke my heart in a million pieces. I'm not sure if he was the second lead, so I'll put him as an honorable mention.

Ji Min Hyuk

South Korean

Seo Jaeyi/Jay (Sweet Revenge 2): I honestly thought he was the ML at first...

Yook Sung Jae

South Korean

Gong Taekwang (School 2015): I felt no chemistry whatsoever between the leading characters. However, when the FL was with Taekwang, she could truly be herself.

Song Jae Rim

South Korean

Choi Hain/Daniel (Clean with Passion for Now): I really loved the way in which he fell in love with the FL, it just felt so pure... and he loved her for so many years... *cries*

Jang Ki Yong

South Korean

Jung Namgil (Go Back Couple): I actually liked the main couple, but Namgil was just so... You just gotta love him.

Lee Chun Hee

South Korean

[HONORABLE MENTION] Kang Eunhyuk (Hello Monster): I didn't really ship him with the FL, but I just found him so cute and innocent. I actually don't think he's considered a SML but he's the other guy so I included him anyways.

Zhou Zhan

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Yu Yan (Skate into Love): although I really liked the main couple, I can't get over Yu Yan, he's way too good for this world. I know it wasn't that sad in the end but I have to add him because I love him too much.

Gala Zhang

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Li Yu (When We Were Young): even though it didn't really give me that big of a heartbreak I still felt bad for him, especially since the FL was so dumb.

Zhang Xin Cheng

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] He Zi Qiu (Go Ahead): this character is just all around pitiful. Although I don't think he would make a good couple with the FL (they just don't match), when he said: "Why does no one want me?", my heart shattered.

Li Jiu Lin

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Shen Wei Lian (My Unicorn Girl): he was so sweet and innocent... Even though it wasn't that tragic, I still wanted to include him.

Dylan (You are My Destiny): in this drama, he was so perfect. I liked him more because I didn't really like the ML. Although he did disappoint me a little at one point, he made up for it in the end and also he was always by the FL's side.

Jung Jin Young

South Korean

Kim Yoonsung (Love in the Moonlight): honestly, him along with Byungyeon were my favorite characters. He deserved better, I'm still bitter.

Go Kyung Pyo

South Korean

Yoo Jinoh/Shin Yool (Chicago Typewriter): I will never forget that hospital scene. It broke my heart. If you watched this drama, you'll know what I'm talking about. This one is really the ultimate SLS.

Seo Kang Joon

South Korean

Baek Inho (Cheese in the Trap): I bet everyone suffered from SLS with this one.

Kim Young Kwang

South Korean

Seo Beomjo (Pinocchio): nothing good happened to him throughout the whole drama. Not gonna lie, the fact that I really like Kim Young Kwang did play a part.

Na In Woo

South Korean

[HONORABLE MENTION] Kim Byeongin (Mr. Queen): although he did some pretty nasty things, I couldn't bring myself to hate him. I literally cried because of him. And I am aware he is her cousin, I don't actually ship them.

Simon Lian

Taiwanese

Duanmu Qing Feng (Lost Romance): I liked him so much but he doesn't even exist in the real world :(

Yoo Yeon Seok

South Korean

Gu Dongmae (Mr. Sunshine): I know he had a little bit of a personality problem but I really liked him :( The fact that I like Yoo Yeon Seok might have played a big part though...

Zhao Zhi Wei

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Shen Po Qing (The Day of Becoming You): although I didn't ship him with the FL, I thought he was a really good person and genuinely liked her, so I felt a little bad for him.

Jung Yong Hwa

South Korean

Kang Shinwoo (You're Beautiful): he was literally so sweet to the FL without her knowing, he was always there for her while the ML was a complete ass. Honestly, I didn't like the ML at all.

Lee Hong Ki

South Korean

[HONORABLE MENTION] Jeremy (You're Beautiful): technically, he wasn't the second lead but I still felt bad for him and, either way, he was better than the ML. I felt so bad for him in that bus scene, he even dedicated a song to her, but of course she has to choose the only guy who doesn't even treat her right. I'll put him as an honorable mention.

Nam Yoon Su

South Korean

[HONORABLE MENTION] Lee Hyun (The King's Affection): I know he was her cousin, but my heart still hurt for him. He loved her for so many years and his rival had to be his best friend... On top of that, I didn't even ship the main couple.

Hwang Min Hyun

South Korean

Seo Yul (Alchemy of Souls): I just loved him so much. She was his childhood crush and they had such a cute past :( If it were me, I would have definitely chosen him.

Itagaki Mizuki

Japanese

Shimamura Sora (Black Cinderella): he's such a green flag! Don't get me wrong, I do like the ML, but Sora was such a great guy... He literally helped the main couple be together.

Akutsu Nichika

Japanese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Kouzuki Mirai (Mairunovich): although I didn't specially like him at first, he grew on me. He was literally always there for her, but she had to go and do that to him. Honestly, the FL does not deserve him at all, he deserves someone better. On another note, I'm not sure if he was the second lead, so I'm putting him as an honorable mention.

Zhang Yi Chi

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Zhang Ming Rui (Unrequited Love): I felt so bad for him, especially because all his crushes liked his best friend. Also, he was one of the few characters that I actually liked.

Zhang Ling He

Chinese

Chang Heng (Love Between Fairy and Devil): although I wish he had made different choices at times, I still liked him better than the ML. Also, his meeting with the FL was so cute.

Xiao Shun Yao

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Lin Hao Qing (The Blue Whisper): Even though I preferred the ML, I felt sooo bad for him, I mean, he loved her so deeply for so many years and he even sacrificed a lot for her.

Xu Shao Ying

Chinese

[HONORABLE MENTION] Ye Qing Ti (Eternal Love of Dream): he wasn't actually the SML, but I needed to mention him at least. I loved him sooo much.
