Warning this drama may give you major SLS!

Let's just admit it some dramas should come with a warning sign so people can prepare them self's for the heart ace of seeing people who are obviously so much more suited for each other loose their chance at true love.

This list is for the dramas that made you mad att the writer and wonder why on earth could they make the lead miss what is right in fornt of him/her/they. The main lead may be nice, you may even like the main lead but just feel that the main couple where just not wright for each other and that the lead should simply have made chosen the second lead.

So join me in gathering all these amazing second leads that made you fall in love, and prepare others for the potential pain watching the drama may (or may not, because we ar all different) cause you.

Last reminders: 

1. Not forget the spoiler tag if your comment contains spoilers (even though this list is a bit of a spoiler in its own but still).

2. Be respectful, when judging the list people have different reasons for getting SLS it may not make sense to you but that douse not mean the reasons other people have for voting for that drama are invalid.

3. This list focuses on the second lead (no matter what gender). If you are looking for a list where the lead should have chosen any one but the male lead, not necessarily the second lead :https://mydramalist.com/list/1zEnr0V4 . If you are looking for a list where you feel the leads made the right choice vote here: https://mydramalist.com/list/4KogMjv4) but here you should focus on the second lead.

4. If a drama is missing add it by typing the name of the drama in the box att the bottom of list (upp to 100).

Thank you for visiting this list I hope you enjoy it, and that it will help you avoid the pain of SLS!
