K-drama couples have made fans eager for the perfect fairy tale relationship, so this article will look at four K-drama couples that we wish were real, and one lucky couple who are already living that dream! Let us know in the comments which couple is your favorite!
Number one: The Mafia Duo
Song Joon Ki and Jeon Yeo Bin nail the chemistry together in Vincenzo. They look gorgeous and we wish them to be a real-life couple. Not only does their on-screen chemistry make you gasp in awe, but their off-screen chemistry as well! Let's take a look at some of their best on-screen moments.
Show overview:
Vincenzo and Cha Young are the dynamic duo of dynamic duos. Vincenzo is a ruthless mafia lawyer, and Cha Young is not. The reason I’m talking about them together is that the character arcs of both characters are so integral to each other. Cha Young starts as being loud and annoying in the first couple of episodes, but then eventually mellows out and becomes one of my favorite characters!
I love how her relationship with Vincenzo progresses: it’s slow burn, and they show their affection to one another through simple actions. When Vincenzo does something horrible (technically in the name of justice) Cha Young doesn’t try to redeem him, excuse him, or convince him to stop. She understands who he is and accepts every part of him completely. It is definitely worth a watch!
Number Two: Our Beloved Couple
Hands down our Beloved Summer couple, Kim Da Mi and Choi Woo Shik, were adorably funny yet cute together throughout the show. Who won't wish them as a real-life couple?? Let's check out some of their hottest on-screen moments.
Show overview:
The drama opens with a documentary clip about the life of two high-school students with different realities; the top one and the one who will never be the top. Kook Yeon Su (Kim Da Mi) works hard and gets driven by her youthful ambitions, while Choi Ung (Choi Woo Shik) doesn’t like the idea of studying and prefers drawing or sleeping in the classroom. I mean who does? Once bickering classmates, they became long-time lovers and broke up 5 years later.
Exactly ten years after their documentary went viral, Kim Ji Ung (Kim Sung Cheol), Ung’s best friend since elementary and Yeon Su’s secret admirer who becomes a television producer, came after the ex-lovers only to have them film another documentary of their current lives. When daily lives were being documented, their complicated feelings for each other were also captured by the camera.
Number three: Moon Moon Couple
Seo Ye Ji and Kim Soo Hyun from It's Okay to Not Be Okay will make you feel "better than okay" if they become a real-life couple as they rocked the chemistry in the hit series. They look so adorable together. Let's check out some of their best moments!
Show Overview:
The story begins with the gentle, warm love between Hae Soo and Prince Wang Wook. But as time passed, Wang Wook changed. Consumed by his ambition for the throne, he turned his back on Hae Soo, even as he struggled with his own feelings of guilt.
Hae Soo found love with Wang So, who reciprocated her feelings. However, their time together was limited, as Wang So remained tethered to his family’s demands. Despite becoming king, his insecurities led him down a dark path, resulting in cruelty and bloodshed that ultimately drove Hae Soo away. She loved her freedom, a bond that initially united them, but his desperate need for her love turned suffocating. It was heart-breaking to witness; his ego blinded him to the letters from Wang Jung Hae Soo’s voice — until it was too late. By then, Hae Soo was gone, leaving behind only their daughter, whom Wang So couldn’t even embrace.
Number four: OG Couple
Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young made fans go crazy over there on and off chemistry during What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? The fans have been desperately wanted them together as a real-life couple.
Show Overview:
Heartwarming and meaningful, funny, but also tear-jerking. This is a fun timeless drama I can bear re-watching over and over again, but also offers a series of life lessons I would recommend everyone to see for themselves.
Ma Jin Joo (Jang Na Ra) is a busy homemaker in her house that takes care of her husband and a little son. Her bare-faced baggy-eyed appearance is treacherously relatable with almost every housewife mom who doesn’t employ a nanny or maid.
I mean, who can afford taking care of your physical appearance when you’re too occupied with taking care of your husband and kid, not to mention doing the never-ending household chores all the time. I don’t have anything against her as she is one of the realest characters in Kdramaland, and whatever mean things she has done are not hostile and justifiable through her lens of perspective. In terms of acting, there’s no doubt that Jang Na Ra nailed it well, be it as a housewife, mother and even when she was in her 20s.
Number Five: Crash Landing On You Couple
Let’s start with the one closest to its realization: This couple is already living the fairy-tale dream, and they have already got married and had a child. Though, it would have felt wrong to leave such an adorable couple out of this article.
This couple melted everyone's hearts before they made waves in the hit show Crash Landing on You, they’d been seen a lot in many other events and projects like a preamble to their real-life romance. Well, guess what? This couple lived their K-drama romance for real and got married, and tied the knot, I mean it was only a matter of time! They married in March 2022 and welcomed their first son in November of the same year. Let's check out some of their heartfelt moments that fans simply could not get enough of.
Watch this couple on Crash Landing on You and The Negotiation film, which was released in 2018, with these love birds!
Show Overview:
Crash Landing on You has a little bit of everything, forbidden romance, family drama, political strife, car chases, and comedy. The show boasts a large cast of characters, but stars Yon Se Jin as Yoon Seri, a South Korean Heiress and businesswoman, and Hyun Bin as Ri Jeong Hyoek, a Captain of the North Korean Special Police.
Seri literally crash lands into Jeong Hyoek’s life, and the drama deals with the many, many complications that arise from a South Korean being hidden in North Korea. Surprisingly, my favorite parts of the K-drama were spent in North Korea.
Unfortunately, I found it was a little too hard to suspend my disbelief in the parts that took place in South Korea and Switzerland. Despite this, the acting was solid and sells the emotional story, which highlights the disparities between these two countries.
