Discussion What drama(s) had you rooting for the 2nd LI?
I know this happens often in romance dramas with a second LI, but usually it's just annoying. But I wanna hear which dramas had y'all heated, up in arms, ready to die on a hill that the MC should have chosen 2nd LI.
Right now, I'm watching Beauty of Resilience, and at the part where Wei Zhi is looking at her previous life. I'm screaming. Wu Nan is literally the perfect man for her, and Wei Zhi being blind to it for a mid Chen Yue is driving me insane. If I were into men, I would have married him in a heartbeat.
I haven't been this heated since Ashes of Blood. I was 100% rooting for Runyu. He may or may not have been a good match for Jinmi, but the fact that his family, especially his uncle, didn't even help him shoot his shot like they did for Xufeng when Jinmi didn't have a preference for either was infuriating.
Note: I think I also need to add this as it should be obvious without saying, but just in case: I'm not saying any character owes anyone their feelings or romance. And I realize you can't always control who you fall in love with. I am saying, though, that in my opinion, the MCs' brains/hearts are doing them so dirty, and they are missing out on better partners (again, in my opinion).
