SRS (Supporting Role Syndrome)
Side Characters That Deserve Their Own Drama, ie, minor side characters that were interesting and deserved more screentime
I had to skim through more than 1 year's worth of feed but I found my 1st post https://mydramalist.com/profile/xingmi92/feeds/LY3jkS2, which was about Guitar Guy and Do Hwan ;p

Kim Seul Gi
South Korean
- The Legend of the Blue Sea (Mermaid 'Ep.20')
There could be a 2nd season where they follow her story. and the old cast can have a cameo to show how life is treating them ;p
I loved seeing Shim Chung acting as the sunbae ;p and I was really curious as to why the guy Seul Gi was after didn't pick up his phone ^^; -

Seo Ji Hoon
South Korean
- School 2017 (Yoon Kyung Woo, "guitar guy")
Part of it is the middle part hair, he is rocking it!! and the guitar, lol.
but mostly he's character as seen in ep8 is such a calm observant kid, and he's so supportive!
They also gave him the back story of growing up outside of Korea, which explains why he isn't as study crazed as they are! and I want to see more of him -in my delulu ship- with Sarang ;p -

Lee Jae Joon
South Korean
- Save Me (Dae Shik)
He is Dong Cheol's sunbae, I think he's the lead gangster when they were younger?
anyway, he's story in ep13/14 was really sad.
he's just like Dong Cheol, he comes from a poor family with his single mom working hard to make ends meet. he worked in the same place as DC. he's mom has been taking loans, and now he finds out that she's being assaulted by this crazy cult while she gives them the money she borrowed.
he knows no one will help him so he goes in for revenge on his own, but he finds he's friend there telling trying to stop him... I'm glad that DC told him to the truth and that he was there to stop him, I really thought they'll capture him and torture him in front of everyone including DC.
so, I read that people think he'll have a bigger role in ending the cult, because otherwise it'd be a waste of character, so I hope that he and the rest of the good guys survive. -

Kim Ji Soo
South Korean
- Bad Guys: City of Evil (Han Gang Joo)
he is also in my "favorite characters" list, he didn't get enough screentime, but he was awesome ;)
- Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (Guy who works with Bok Joo)
he didn't even have a name but he was a cutie... he was nice to bokjoo, and teased NJH ;)
- Doctors (Kim Soo Chul)
I guess it's a Jisoo thing, I always end up adding all of his characters to any list ;p SC was a "bad boy" who ended up as a young single (?) father, his story is the best thing to happen in that drama...

Lee Hwa Kyum
South Korean
- Circle (Secretary Shin)
she was calm and cold, the righthand man's righthand (wo)man xD

Kim Da Hee
South Korean
- Monstar (Kim Na Na)
she was the best thing about that drama, I recently saw that "The Wind Blows" cover, and I was reminded of how awesome she was.. she was a silent rebel, and I think her dad was a gangster? anyway I wish for more female characters like her.. and I wish they give her the love line with Kang Ha Neul instead of making him a 2nd lead in a lost love triangle..

Woo Do Hwan
South Korean
- Master (Hired gun #2)
- Sweet Stranger and Me (Kim Wan Shik)
- The Divine Fury (Ji Shin)
- Save Me (Seok Dong Cheol)
he actually got more screentime than I thought at 1st, but still..
I wrote this when I only saw 2eps: and his part was not that big, yet he left such a big impression. for once it was the 2nd guy who stood up for the girl, while the main guy was kinda scared to ruin his dad's reputation. but still, when he run up to save her, I was won over, and crying because I know he's just a SLS T^T
though, I hope he wont turn into the jealous 2nd lead, because he is already great friends with the main guy, and I'd hate to see them fight T^T -
