The second female lead is the female lead's best friend, and she has her own complete and independent romantic storyline with the second male lead. The second male lead is a bit of a lunatic; initially, the second female lead is love-struck and likes him, but he ignores her. Later, when he's about to lose her, he starts to forcefully take her away, acting like a crazy, obsessive madman who forces his love on her. In short, the second female lead's life, being forcibly taken by the second male lead, is quite tragic, but it's really good. Highly recommended!
