Article Second Leads who Deserve a Second Chance
I think the obsession about second leads is quite sexist, and a bluff, first, of course is a expected trope that the second lead is almost perfect because is thinked that way in order to draw attention to the love triangle cliché, is sexist because i read quite often that the main lead doesn't deserve the female lead because this or because that, ¿is the woman in question a doll? an object? a woman must take the choice according to the moral and aesthetic standards of a glorified type of masculinity? or is she free to make a choice following her own desires does not matter if that doesn't make sense or the good guy get the heartbreak? ( I hate when by instance in Love Alarm people say that a guy stole the love interest of his friend, WHAT????? nobody steals no one, is a question of desire and that's all, what underlines in those opinions is an absurd puritan morality and lack of maturity about women rights and freedom) Of course i'm not free of this type of thinking, i'm a human after all, but well in the case that the second lead weights more in me than the ML i drop the drama, like a made countless times, i don't follow the drama till the end frustrated because the OTP fandreaming about a different choice. Ye Hua is Bai Qian eternal love, not Mo Yuan, In MDBC both leads became attached because their personalities and didn't even counted if were both men or not, there was no room for another love there is not " deserve" involved in those matters.
