2019 In Review – Secondary Leading Ladies – Best to Worst
Looking back at the secondary leading ladies of the series I blogged in 2019, I decided to assign an empirical score. How did they rack and stack?
| Arthdal Chronicles | Taealha (Kim Ok Vin) | 9 |
| Touch Your Heart | Dan Moon Hee (Park Kyung Hye) | 8 |
| My Country: The New Age | Seo Yeon (Cho Yi Hyun) | 8 |
| Haechi | Cheon Yoon Young (Bae Jung Hwa) | 7.5 |
| Welcome 2 Life | Bang Young Sook (Jang So Yeon) | 7 |
| Romance is a Bonus Book | Song Hae Rin (Jung Eugene) | 7 |
| Smile Has Left Your Eyes | Tak So Jung (Jang Young Nam) | 6 |
| Level Up | Bae Ya Chae (Kang Byul) | 6 |
| Kill It | Kang Seul Ki (Roh Jeong Eui) | 5 |
| Melting Me Softly | Na Ha Young (Yoon Se Ah) | 4 |
What did I consider salient points about each secondary leading ladies?
* Arthdal Chronicles – Taealha (Kim Ok Vin) – Smart, strategic, able to weld power in a male dominated world, passionate, half of villain super couple
* Touch Your Heart – Dan Moon Hee (Park Kyung Hye) – Wacky character desperate to find a man, she hooked me
* My Country: The New Age – Seo Yeon (Cho Yi Hyun) – Able to see the good and forgive, she was the touchstone of the two primary male characters
* Haechi – Cheon Yoon Young (Bae Jung Hwa) – Devoted mistress to the crazy evil prince, her guidance aided his cause, she couldn’t quit him
* Welcome 2 Life – Bang Young Sook (Jang So Yeon) – Efficient assistant for the police team, in love with the chief but he refused to take her out of the friend zone
* Romance is a Bonus Book – Song Hae Rin (Jung Eugene) – Editor/manager with an excellent work ethic, had a hard time letting go of her unrequited love for the leading man
* Smile Has Left Your Eyes – Tak So Jung (Jang Young Nam) – Female police officer that supported the brother and sister navigate their challenges
* Level Up – Bae Ya Chae (Kang Byul) – Didn’t listen when the leading man stated he wasn’t interested, threatened by leading lady’s connection the leading man
* Kill It – Kang Seul Ki (Roh Jeong Eui) – How this character ties to the storyline is the interesting part of this character
* Melting Me Softly – Na Ha Young (Yoon Se Ah) – 1999 girlfriend that couldn’t accept that 20 years later, the leading man wasn’t into her anymore

Taealha was really something. I was impressed by Kim Ok Vin’s performance. Happy that sweet Yeon scored high too!

Taelha and Tagon were the super couple of season 1. Tanya and Eunseom could be the super couple season 2 (should it come to pass).
Yeon’s importance can’t be overstated in the series. She was almost the glue between Seo Hwi and Sun Ho.

What a variety of characters on this list❣
I concur that these second leads made a difference in their stories.
