Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim
The undeniable chemistry between these two was so palpable, fans swore they had to be an item IRL. Seo-Joon and Min-young led the fluffy and somewhat predictable What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, but their electric energy managed to make up for the lackluster storyline.

When she suddenly quits one day, an office romance unfolds, complete with glances, dances, and a curious link to their childhood pasts [1].
Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na in Touch Your Heart

Park Shin-hye and Lee Jong-suk in Pinocchio
Craving something a little more intense? Look no further than Pinocchio! Jong-suk and Shin-hye deliver an engrossing tale of aspiring journalists, complete with drama, romance, and a whole lot of angst. Plus, there's a major plot twist that's sure to leave you reeling [3].
Ji Chang-wook and Nam Ji-hyun in Suspicious Partner
Suspicious Partner is a delightful blend of romance and suspense, following a legal thriller involving a serial killer, legal loopholes, and complicated pasts that refuse to stay buried. Thanks to the undeniable chemistry between Ji Chang-wook and Nam Ji-hyun, this series is a standout in the romantic comedy genre [4].
Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin in Crash Landing on You
