Some K-Drama second leads definitely deserve another chance at love. Here are a few that we could see on a dating reality show!
Dyllan Mykel, Kpopmap EditorWhen watching a K-Drama, we are often mesmerized by the budding romance between the two main leads. They invoke feelings of overwhelming joy that are truly hard to ignore. However, sometimes a drama will have an endearing second lead that will cause viewers to come down with a case of 'second lead syndrome'. We end up rooting for the second lead and secretly hope that against all odds, they might have a chance at love.
But in more cases than not, these second leads accept their fate and allow the main couple to be together while they go on to discover their own self-worth. These second leads definitely deserve a second chance at love, and what better way to do so than to appear on a dating program!
From "Single's Inferno" to "Heart Signal", there's a number of dating shows these characters could participate in. And while they are fictional, it'd be nice to think that they could receive another opportunity at love.
So here are some K-Drama second leads that we could see potentially casted for a dating show!
Note: this list includes characters from ongoing and recently finished K-Dramas (as of Jan. 31, 2024), so there may be spoilers ahead.
Although he had a bad boy persona, Han SeoJun was truly a warm-hearted person that deserved all the happiness and more. We could totally see the older and more mature Han SeoJun on a dating show of his choice. His sensitive side would be contrasted by his mischievous nature, providing heaps of laughter to his fellow participants. Of course, there probably would not be an 'Okay Dokey' level of comedic relief, but we're sure there'd be something close!
Joo SeokHoon only wanted the best for Do DoHee (Kim YouJung) and made it his mission to protect her from harm. While he did not win her heart in the end, his new duties as a CEO will surely help to keep his mind off things. Once he has a little more free time, he could even be casted into a dating program! And if the female contestants haven't fallen for his sweet, heartwarming smile, then a cozy date with Joo SeokHoon will certainly change their mind.
Despite his eccentric nature, Kang WooHak stole the hearts of viewers everywhere, gaining a multitude of avid supporters right until the very end. However, he was unable to capture the heart of Seo MokHa (Park EunBin), the person he wanted to impress the most. If cast in a dating program, he would provide a breath of fresh air, using his unique personality to his advantage. Kang WooHak would create one-of-a-kind date experiences that female contestants would not forget. Then surely by the end, he'll walk away with the romance he so rightfully deserves.
Kwon JaeKyeong was originally Lee HongJo's (Cho BoAh) first love interest, however, he could not beat the red string of fate she had with Jang ShinYoo (RoWoon). He admitted defeat and decided to support HongJo's happiness even if it came at the cost of his own. After taking time to heal, there's a world where JaeKyeong joins a dating program. There, he would create his own destiny with another participant. Together they could create memories that would overpower his heartache, leading up to his very own happily ever after.
Although Bae InHyuk's fictional love life was redeemed through his character in "The Story Of Park's Marriage Contract", our hearts still go out to Gye SunWoo. While he might have started on the wrong foot for many, SunWoo had an amazing character development that left millions swooning over him in the end. With his changed attitude and newfound maturity, he would make a great addition to a dating program. His playful and flirty gestures could create a swarm of butterflies to appear in a majority of the participants, guys included, and viewers at home.
Han JiPyung was a major green flag that had fans cheering his name. While it was made obvious that he would not end up with Seo DalMi (Suzy), viewers still held onto hope that maybe he would receive some type of happiness. After taking some time to repair his broken heart, he could very well be casted to a dating program. Han JiPyung will pique everyone's interest with his dashing good looks and endearing personality. And while providing an air of comfort, female contestants will certainly be convinced that Han JiPyung is the true endgame and at the final stage, gladly leave the show with him.
"Marry My Husband" is currently still on air, but viewers' hearts are aching for Baek EunHo. Despite missing his chance in high school, he continued to nurture a heart of affection towards Kang JiWon. However, the chances of them being together were recently crushed as the two shook hands and decided to be friends. If he does not find love by the end of the drama, he could look to appear on a dating program a few years down the line. Acting as the reliable chef of the house, Baek EunHo will mesmerize female participants with his incredible knife skills and top tier cooking. Then, he could even have a restaurant date where he'll gladly prepare a special meal with unforgettable care.
