One of the best SMLs in recent history: Jo-han (Tell Me That You Love Me)
Can’t believe I fell for him as much as (or a little more than) the ML.
He is now Puppy No.1

You can keep my 🩷.

    He is one of the BEST things about the show (and the show has A LOT of best things).
    He stole my heart and hasn’t returned.

    Isn’t he just so CUTE? Like as Jo-han here? I mean if the FL didn’t choose the ML, I would have NO PROBLEM at all shipping these two together *wipes tears of imagined joy*.

    Did I already say he is SO CUTE?

    This year I’m gonna use my new “why choose to be Sang Do (W Sam Dal), when you can be Jo Han” scale to rate second leads.

          I haven’t watched Sam-dal, so no idea who Sang Do is. But based on your newly created rating scale, I must say I’m impressed and feel so proud of Jo-han!!!

          (I know he tries to hint his feelings to the FL and to make her spend time with him, but boy can try. At least in the end, he always respects her boundaries and is always there to support her- even when he wishes this love will pass without pain. Puppy is still heartbroken in the last scene. 🎬

            Jo Han was in love with Mo Eun but he respected her as a human being, and he genuinely appreciated and cared about his friendship with her.

            Sang Do doesn’t know what respect means, and he never really thought of Sam Dal as his friend.
            I usually detest the second leads, but Sang Do managed to be worse than the typical stereotypes.

            Plus, he is successful in his career. Granted, he is a bit obsessed sometimes with his work, but he never forgets ME and always makes time for her. I think that’s kind of sweet. And as you said, he genuinely cares about this friendship with her.

      The other second male lead who saw the female lead and was a positive for her rather than himself was Kei from Soundtrack #2.

        This makes me wanna watch Soundtrack #2. How can you describe it? Is it angst? Are there a lot of unlikeable characters?

          Not unlikable but I would say unrelatable (for me) characters. 😭

          I think Soundtrack is a hard watch as I found the female lead frustrating but a lot of beanies felt she was right to stick to her independent stance because of the way her boyfriend tried to support her, they felt the couple had not moved on enough for things to work the second time round and they didn’t like the end. It was ok and the second lead was sweet but it is hard for me to recommend as the other beanies’ reviews were very mixed.

            I see. I’ll think about this one again later as I think I might feel the same as you.
