Start Up - writers wrote a whole pilot episode about the precious childhood connection between FL and 2ML, the whole backstory of 2ML was presented and 2ML had a special connection with FL's grandmother. truly everyone thought that the 2ML was the ML. overall, 2ML was a more well-rounded, charismatic character and had better chemistry with the FL

7. Cheese in the Trap - ML was a manipulative piece of sh... And SML was sweet and caring. Drama had the second lead syndrome itself
