In Asian dramas this is Seconf Lead Syndrome. There are the two main leads that are destined to be together but you always have some poor, handsome secondlead whofalls for the main lead. While they may be
winning with the main lead for a while, they almost always lose in the end. SLS applies to the either
female or male second lead, but usually more sympathy is felt for a male secondlead. A lot of
female second leads come off bitchy and cunning.
Friend: *crying* '"noooo, this can't be"
Friend#2: "What"
Friend: "My ship is destined to sink and
never become cannon, why did I fall for the second
lead"
Friend#2: "I think you have come down with a classic case of SLS"
Friend: "Not second
lead syndome, nooooooo"
