If you think that second leads are only the second best, we beg to disagree. From Seo Ji-hye's performance in Crash Landing On You, Kwon Nara's claim for PSJ's heart in Itaewon Class, to Han So-hee's breakthrough role in The World Of The Married, and more, we're focusing our spotlight on 5 K-actresses and the strongest second lead roles they have played in recent history.

Most of these actresses have already played lead roles but we can never forget their iconic performances in their supporting roles. Their acting skills are already a given but when you take a look at the pieces they've worn, you might even have to take a second look at what the rest of the cast are wearing. Often femme fatales on their own, we can't help but fangirl every time they surprise us with a bold head-turning look on-screen. Whether they're playing the antagonist or the supportive best friend, you can trust these girls to steal the show with their outfits. In the gallery down below, we look back at their best fashion moments as second lead actresses in their respective dramas. If you can't get enough of the second lead syndrome, make sure to check out the male version of this lineup here!

Jo Woo-ri in ‘My ID is Gangnam Beauty’

Jo Woo-ri gained mixed reactions from playing the role as the antagonist in ‘MY ID is Gangnam Beauty’. Regardless what the critiques say, we still think that Woo-ri did an amazing job in standing out and playing the antagonist in the story. Her subtly glamorized looks stole the show along with her natural beauty. Our favorite looks on her are her colorful blouses!

Yoon Se-ah in ‘Melting Me Softly’

You’ve got to admit that Yoon Se-ah’s outfits in ‘Melting Me Softly’ are stunning. As a girl boss in the series, she always keeps her work outfits up to par by only wearing ensembles that are neatly tailored. include her yellow blazer dress, her all-white look, and her blue matching blazer and skirt set. Her outfits surely make up for her unrequited love for Ji Chang-wook in the series.

Kwon Nara in ‘Itaewon Class’

‘Itaewon Class’ fans would know how much we all rooted for Kwon Nara in the series. Even though she poured herself and even sacrificed her job for PSJ, she still didn’t win his heart in the series! With no more tears left to cry, we think its better to remember Kwon Nara with her youthful business casual looks in the series. Our favorite look on her has got to be the black asymmetrical blouse she wore with a bright pair of red trousers! Can we also talk about her hair glow up?

Seo Ji-hye in ‘Crash Landing On You’

Another love story that didn’t come to life was of Seo Ji-hye and Hyun Bin in CLOY but don’t worry Ji-hye found her ‘the one’ in the end! There’s no need to compare Ji-hye with Son Ye-jin because the two actresses are very different in the series! Ji-hye made a statement with her simple yet eye-catching looks. Her signature hair pins also made an impact on every outfit!

Han So-hee in 'The World of the Married'

You probably hated Han So-hee in TWOTM because of her role as the other woman in the series but you’ve got to admit that her outfits are unforgettable as well. From cardigans, buttondowns, dresses, to her bags, So-hee looked like every bit of a dream girl except that she has captured the heart of the wrong man. Did you notice how her style evolved from the beginning of the series down to the end? That's what you call character growth!
