I’m kind of fascinated by the furore over who is the main lead of Greasy Melo. I know 1st/2nd lead is an unwritten rule of Kdrama, but if we hold onto the rules too tightly we lose the chance for innovation, right? Who says there can’t be two male or female leads? Who says the second lead can’t get the girl/guy?
While rare, I have watched several dramas where the second lead ended up with the h. Last one I watched with this storyline was “The King in Love”/”The King Loves”.
Yeah I think there are enough exceptions to the rule which prove that it can be done. It’s definitely more stressful but also more interesting when you don’t quite know what to expect 🙂
