Second leads I would like to throw off a building

Mostly includes second male leads who are not written as villains, and yet their actions made me want to reach through the screen and strangle them.

I have a more complicated relationship with second female leads. Yes, I often dislike SFLs, but that's because they're written in a misogynistic pick-me way and we are meant to hate them. So I end up just feeling uncomfortable and wishing the writers would just drop the outdated bullsh*t.

Again I'm excluding second leads who are intentionally written as villain characters, i.e., we're supposed to hate them anyway. These are second leads who could have been likeable but annoyed the hell out of me.

SML is a raging misogynist who proposes marriage to the FL because he likes how she can clean and cook for him but doesn't have any pesky dreams or ambitions for him to accomodate
