Worst Second Male Lead Syndrome

This is my first time writing a review and it will be long and confused. Honestly I'm at ep 8 and I won't watch the 2 last episodes bc I was highly dissapointed by Mia choices. I decided to watch this suddenly, since it wasn't even on my watchlist. Reading the comments and previous reviews left on here i could've given up on it. I've watched so far 60+ dramas (cdramas, kdramas etc) and this is only the 2nd time I'm having 2nd male lead syndrome. Ryo was absolutely perfect, he was caring, lovely, sunny, funny, bright, protective but respective of her choices. He was always by her side, never judging her for her relationship whith ML, worrying that she would be hurt and that she would be brokenheart, but helping her out anyway. Then, ML was for me at least, a coward. He couldn't talk back at his wife whatever crazy shit she was doing. When I thought he was being considerate towards FL, it had always something to do with his wife. Yes, they were still married yet on the verge of divorce, and I highly value marriage, but she was cheating. She agreed on divorce then try to kill them both then when she wake up she became obsessive. He didn't even try to fight when she asked to keep his phone ??? Dude i was so stunned during this scene. His wife disrespect Mia/Fl so many times and he didn't even really try to stand by her side. Thank god Ryo was always there for her. Besides him rocking in the air when they had some argument (He and FL) he was absolutely useless. Whenever they had an argument, it was either FL, SML her friends or his friend making some move so they could make up and talk it out. It was absolutely annoying to watch since these rock scenes happenned in almost every episode. Now let's talk about Mia. I was so glad when she break up with him, bc honestly he was trash. But the way she threw herself into engagement with Ryo made me mad. She could've be honest with him and with herself, take her time to forget properly ML and gave 2ML a true chance. Since he was such a sweetheart he would've wait for her that she rebuilt her heart. But she played with him, giving him false hopes and rising his expectations. Even as I've watched the Ep 8, finishing the episode on their breakup, I'm still convinced that they could've been truly happy together if only she had been honest and patient towards her healing and their realtionship. He was truly an amazing friend, at least for this she should've been more careful about not hurting him. Out of all this mess that she made out of their relationship, I am sincerely glad that Ryo was the one giving up on her, that he was the one letting her go. Again this prove me that he truly loved her and that is why i decided that i would not keep going and put an end here to this drama. Honestly, watching them ML and FL getting back would be waste my time, so I won't. For me this drama ended up on Ryo and Mia rupture. For a sec I really thought or really wished that these two would be together at the end of the drama. Writers really missed the point here.
