There are certain K-drama actors we've only seen together in fleeting moments, perhaps in a commercial, at an event, or simply standing side by side in a photo, and yet fans instantly recognize their potential to light up the screen.

Whether it's a shared glance or natural charisma, the chemistry is undeniable. We round up 6 K-drama pairings who have worked together in advertisements, brand collaborations, or public appearances, but who have yet to star in a full-fledged drama together.

P.S. The third couple on our list is a real-life couple—but surprisingly, they haven’t shared screen space in a K-drama yet.

1. Byeon Woo Seok and Chae Soo Bin

K-drama’s current "It boy" and "It girl", Byeon Woo Seok and Chae Soo Bin, first teamed up through a brand collaboration with Korean furniture company Iloom. Their commercials, cleverly styled as romantic mini-films, were released on the brand’s official YouTube channel and quickly won over fans. With Chae Soo Bin fresh off When the Phone Rings and Byeon Woo Seok basking in the success of Lovely Runner, their onscreen chemistry felt effortless and electric. One moment in particular, when Byeon Woo Seok lifts a table over Chae Soo Bin to shield her from the rain, had fans absolutely swooning. Now imagine that chemistry in a full-length drama!

2. Cha Eun Woo and Go Youn Jung

Two of Korea’s most stunning stars, Cha Eun Woo and Go Youn Jung, first came together for a campaign with fashion brand MARITHÉ FRANÇOIS GIRBAUD, titled Call My Name. The shoot exuded a sensuous, alluring vibe that had fans doing a double-take. With their striking visuals and undeniable star power, the duo effortlessly commanded attention and left viewers craving more. Their chemistry was so palpable, fans are now eagerly hoping to see them light up the screen together in a full-fledged romantic drama. With looks, charm, and charisma to spare, this pairing feels like K-drama gold waiting to happen!

3. Lee Jong Suk and IU

It’s almost hard to believe that this real-life couple, who have been going strong for a few years now, have never starred in a K-drama together. While Lee Jong Suk and IU previously hosted music shows side by side, they’ve largely kept their relationship away from the spotlight. Still, their natural charm and deep mutual respect have fans dreaming of the day they’ll share the screen. A heartwarming, romantic drama starring these two would not only highlight their undeniable chemistry but also offer viewers a rare chance to see their off-screen bond translated into on-screen magic.

4. Song Kang and Suzy

Two of Korea’s top-tier visuals, Song Kang and Suzy, would undoubtedly set the screen ablaze if they ever starred in a drama together. Both are known for their effortless chemistry with past co-stars, and fans are convinced that pairing them would be a hit out of the park. Surprisingly, the two haven’t even been seen in the same frame, let alone a project. The closest fans have gotten? A clip of Song Kang playfully imitating Suzy’s signature flirty smile. With their star power, charisma, and striking screen presence, this is one pairing that feels long overdue.

5. Lee Min Ho and Song Hye Kyo

It’s almost criminal that two of Korea’s biggest Hallyu superstars—Lee Min Ho and Song Hye Kyo- have never shared the screen. The two icons were once spotted sitting side by side at a FENDI show in New York, and the photos instantly sent the internet into a frenzy. The sheer star power and visual synergy were undeniable. Adding to the intrigue? Lee Min Ho has previously revealed that Song Hye Kyo is his ideal type. With their global fan bases and unmatched charisma, a drama featuring these two would be nothing short of a Hallyu phenomenon!

6. Kim Seon Ho and Kim Ji Won

With their strong acting chops, heartfelt screen presence, and warm, captivating visuals, it’s no wonder fans believe this pairing would sweep every “Best Couple” award if it ever came to life. The chemistry is already there—now all we need is the right script.
