2nd lead syndrome and Kim Seon-ho

If you love to watch Korean dramas, you know of the second lead syndrome. You've probably experienced it.

This is when you fall for the actor who plays the part of the one hopelessly in love with the leading lady. Sadly, his affections are not reciprocated because she is so in love with the leading man.

Remember Kim Jung-hwan (played by Ryu Jun-yeol) in "Reply 1988" and In Guk-doo (played by Ji Soo) in "Strong Girl Do Bong-soon?" They both won our hearts after theirs were broken.
