The most famous case of "Secondary girl wins it all" is probably "Queen Seon Deok". Although the secondary lady didn't get the guy (he was her son, so this wasn't really possible), but she got much more attention, won all the prizes, and even won that year's Daesang (Grand Prize). The creators didn't mean this to happen, but Ko Hyun Jung in her role of scheming lady Mishil just stole the show from the main lead (THE TITLE CHARACTER). Honestly, Ko Hyun Jung is awesome. The show even went down in ratings (by 10% I think!) when Mishil died. This was such a huge drama, as well, that seasons biggest drama.
Interestingly, "Queen Seon Dek" is also a drama where a secondary guy, Bidam, gets the main lady instead of Uhm Tae Woong's character who was intended to be the Queen's big love. The creators had to change the story because Kim Nam Gil had become incredibly popular very quickly. Bidam is Mishil's son, BTW.
As to the secondary girl getting the guy, as far as I have heard, Coffee House was like that (but I haven't watched it). And "Slingshot". Slingshot was like that most definitely, I was sure that the pairing were not intended the way they ended up.
I am want to check Style now. :D
As to the focus, I think you are right and many Kdramas are shown from the main lady's perspective. But there are some that are not (Slingshot, Bad guy, Mawang)
