What is a K-Drama without K-Drama couples? These couples are the heart of romance K-Dramas, but even couples from other genres often capture our attention because of their undeniable chemistry. They are the reason we become so invested in a drama. We feel connected to their stories, backgrounds, personalities, and the way their chemistry naturally shines on screen.
Now, let’s get to know some of the best K-Drama couples of 2025!
“Crushology 101“
One of the most loved K-Drama couples of the year is Roh Jeong Eui and Lee Chae Min from the feel-good campus romance “Crushology 101!” This classic rom-com follows a model student who is trying to heal from a painful first love and suddenly finds herself surrounded by four handsome men who unexpectedly enter her life. Among them is the popular department representative who may look cold on the outside but is actually incredibly sweet. What makes this couple so enjoyable to watch is their bickering-filled dynamic. They start off as enemies and slowly turn into lovers, and their natural chemistry makes every interaction fun and heart-fluttering.
“Undercover High School“
Another fan-favorite K-Drama couple comes from Seo Kang Jun and Jin Ki Joo’s action comedy “Undercover High School!” The drama follows a top NIS agent who is demoted and forced to go undercover as a high school student after a mission goes hilariously wrong and a fearless and passionate homeroom teacher who has no idea about his true identity. What makes this pairing so memorable is how chaotic and fun their dynamic is. Their interactions are filled with comedy, awkward tension, and unexpected tenderness, especially during hilarious drunken moments and near-miss encounters that almost reveal his undercover mission.
“To The Moon“
One of the most unexpectedly entertaining couples of 2025 is Lee Sun Bin and Kim Young Dae from the slice-of-life comedy “To The Moon!” The drama centers on three women from humble backgrounds who are trying to survive on modest salaries while dreaming of a better life. The main character is a hardworking marketing employee constantly facing bad luck and workplace discrimination. She unexpectedly crosses paths with a charming and successful director whose seemingly perfect life hides deep regrets about the dreams he left behind. Their romance is a slow-burn delight that perfectly matches the drama’s warm and realistic tone, making it easy for us to connect with this couple.
“Our Golden Days“
Another couple that beautifully represents warmth and healing in 2025 is Jung Il Woo and Jung In Sun from the slice-of-life family drama “Our Golden Days.” At the center of the story is a man who appears perfect on the outside but is quietly rebuilding his life after hitting rock bottom, and a bright woman juggling work while carrying her own emotional scars. What makes these two such a memorable couple is their shared history and emotional depth. They were college sweethearts who met through a volunteer club and were connected by a sunbae-hoobae dynamic that never had the right timing back then. Years later, fate brings them back together as adults, now carrying the weight of missed chances and personal growth. Together, they show that everyone has their own version of “golden days,” even when life feels uncertain.
“For Eagle Brothers“
One of my favorite K-Drama couples of the year for bringing something refreshing is Uhm Ji Won and Ahn Jae Wook from “For Eagle Brothers!” The story follows a bright and bold post office section chief who suddenly becomes a widow just days after her wedding. Her life takes another unexpected turn when she meets a wealthy hotel chairman who has lived alone for 15 years after losing his wife. Neither of them expected to fall in love again, which makes their connection feel deeply emotional and sincere. Their chemistry shines through their contrasting personalities, and their interactions are filled with witty banter, quiet tenderness, and moments that feel very real.
“Sorry Not Sorry“
“Sorry Not Sorry” gives us one of the most unexpectedly fun and charming couples of 2025, led by Jeon So Min and Choi Daniel. The drama follows a single woman drowning in debt who pretends to be a wealthy, married housewife just to survive in a new neighborhood filled with competitive city moms who met a sharp and logical divorce attorney under very unusual circumstances. What makes this couple so enjoyable is their classic opposites-attract dynamic, as their personalities constantly clash while their undeniable chemistry keeps things exciting.
“The Tale of Lady Ok“
One of the most memorable couples of the year is Lim Ji Yeon and Choo Young Woo from the historical melodrama “The Tale of Lady Ok!” This K-Drama follows a runaway slave who unexpectedly wakes up as a noblewoman and uses her intelligence to become a legal advisor who fights for justice, especially for slaves like herself. She is supported by the male lead, a gentle traveling storyteller who is willing to do everything for her. The emotional tension, longing glances, and clashing ideals between these characters create a love story that feels intense, meaningful, and unforgettable.
“Marie and Her Three Daddies“
Another interesting K-Drama couple of 2025 is Ha Seung Ri and Hyun Woo from “Marie and Her Three Daddies.” The drama follows a woman on a long and emotional journey to uncover the truth about her father, a search that unexpectedly leads her to form a family built on love rather than blood. At the center of the story is her relationship with her medical school senior. What makes this couple so loved is how their love grows while life throws them into unpredictable situations. Their dynamic starts off awkward and hesitant after the female lead’s sudden confession, but it slowly develops into a sincere romance filled with nervous smiles, misunderstandings, and genuine affection.
“Oh My Ghost Clients“
A surprisingly charming couple that stole hearts in 2025 is Seol In Ah and Cha Hak Yeon from “Oh My Ghost Clients!” The story centers on a struggling labor attorney who suddenly gains the ability to see ghosts after surviving a near-death accident. He teams up with his sister-in-law and her influencer friend, who secretly has a crush on him. Even though the drama is not romance-focused, the subtle love line between the two is something we all enjoyed watching! Their chemistry feels natural and unforced, built through small moments, playful teasing, and quiet support during difficult situations.
“Love: Track“
One of my favorite recent K-Dramas is “Love: Track,” which features multiple couples across ten standalone love stories, each exploring a different kind of connection. Instead of focusing on just one romance, this anthology highlights love in all its forms, from first love and breakups to family bonds and mature relationships. Among them, my personal favorite is “When We Were Wired,” starring Ong Seong Wu and Han Ji Hyun. Their story captures a tender first love shaped by music, nostalgia, and fleeting moments that stay with you long after the episode ends.
