Dramas with the worst male lead (romance)
Here you can list the dramas with the worst male lead, both BL and hetero relationships. The ones that made you wish the lead stayed singel or choose just about anyone but the one s/he ended up with.
Edit: this is probably to late but:
1. It would be nice if you refrain for voting and adding shows where you only have SLS- second lead syndrome, there should be a reason for wanting the person to stay singel or chose just about any one else. For SLS please visit: https://mydramalist.com/list/32AyoElL
2. People have different reasons for disliking a male lead, it may not make sense to you but that douse not mean the resons other people have for voting for that drama are invalid.
3. You add dramas by typing the name of the drama in the box att the bottom of list.
4. It is really nice when people comment on why they chose the drama/lead they chose, just do not forget the spoiler tag if your comment contains spoilers.
Thank you so much for voting and adding dramas to this list! you are awesome ;)
