As a dedicated K-Drama fan, I know the feeling of getting so immersed in a drama that you grow attached to the characters and actors, wishing you could see them together again in a new project. You’ve felt that too, haven’t you?
But as much as we love these pairings, we also know that reunions aren’t that common in the K-Drama world. Thankfully, there’s still hope! Actors like Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin, Jang Na Ra and Jang Hyuk, and Lee Joon Gi and Moon Chae Won have proven that it’s possible to team up more than once. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed for these iconic pairings we’d love to see again—this time in different genres and stories!
K-Drama Pairings We Want To See Again
Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Si of “Youth of May“

The “Youth of May” couple, Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Si, delivered one of the most memorable on-screen chemistries of the decade. Despite starring in a period medical drama where romance wasn’t the main focus, their portrayal of a medical student and a nurse caught up in the tragic Gwangju Uprising was nothing short of iconic.
Their friendship off-screen adds to their charm, and a lot are eager to see them reunite in another project. Both are phenomenal actors with incredible range, and their visuals complement each other perfectly. Imagine them in a modern romantic comedy or even an action thriller—it’s a dream pairing waiting to happen!
Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyoung of “Dr. Romantic 2“
One of the best enemies-to-lovers pairings in K-Dramas has to be Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyung from “Dr. Romantic 2“. Set in a rural hospital, their characters were doctors who went from being academic rivals in university to colleagues navigating the challenges of the medical field. Their fiery banter and undeniable chemistry made their love story unforgettable.
Even though “Dr. Romantic” isn’t primarily a romance-focused series, their relationship stood out as one of the most compelling parts of the second (and third) season. We can’t help but hope to see this duo in another drama, perhaps in a completely different setting where their chemistry can shine even brighter.
Kim Dong Wook and Mun Ka Young of “Find Me In Your Memory“
Kim Dong Wook and Mun Ka Young made waves as one of the most beloved K-Drama couples in “Find Me in Your Memory“. Despite a 13-year age gap, their on-screen chemistry was captivating, making the fantasy drama even more enjoyable to watch.
The show’s unique premise—an anchorman with hyperthymesia (the ability to recall nearly every moment of his life) and an actress who has forgotten her past—was both intriguing and emotional. What truly elevated the drama, though, was the way their characters connected. They were the kind of couple you couldn’t help but root for, leaving us wishing for another collaboration between these talented actors.
Kim Hye Yoon and Ro Woon of “Extra-ordinary You“
Who could forget the whimsical pairing of Kim Hye Yoon and Rowoon in “Extra-ordinary You?” This fan-favorite couple brought to life one of the most unique high school K-Drama concepts—a romance set inside a webtoon, where the characters were self-aware of their fictional existence.
Hye Yoon’s portrayal of a character who discovers she’s just a supporting role in a story and Rowoon’s role as an overlooked extra who helps her defy their scripted fate made for an unforgettable love story. Their chemistry, combined with the mind-bending plot, left a lasting impression on all of us! Many are still hoping to see them reunite in another imaginative and heartfelt drama.
Ji Hyun Woo and Lee Se Hee of “Young Lady and Gentleman“
Ji Hyun Woo and Lee Se Hee hold a special place in the hearts of fans as one of the most beloved KBS family weekend couples. “Young Lady and Gentleman” tells the heartwarming story of a single father and his newly hired live-in tutor. This drama became highly addictive, thanks to its blend of humor, wholesome moments, and dramatic twists.
The undeniable chemistry between Ji Hyun Woo and Lee Se Hee had us smiling from ear to ear every time they shared the screen. Their on-screen connection made this classic romance story shine even brighter.
Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin of “I Am Not a Robot“
Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin are a pairing that absolutely deserves another drama together. In “I Am Not a Robot” they gave us a quirky and unforgettable love story. Yoo Seung Ho played a shareholder with a severe allergy to human contact, while Chae Soo Bin portrayed a woman pretending to be an AI robot.
Their effortless chemistry brought charm and warmth to the unique storyline. From their playful interactions to their heartfelt moments, every scene between them was a delight. Just watching their romance unfold was enough to make us giggle and swoon.
Han Ji Hyun and Bae In Hyuk of “Cheer Up“
When it comes to lovable college couples, Han Ji Hyun and Bae In Hyuk from “Cheer Up” are at the top of the list. Set in the world of cheerleading, this sports drama follows Bae In Hyuk as a passionate team captain and Han Ji Hyun as someone who initially joins the team just for a part-time job.
Their playful banter and adorable chemistry before they became a couple was enough to win over us. Once their relationship blossomed, it felt like the quintessential college romance—sweet, fun, and full of youthful energy. We would love to see this endearing duo in another feel-good project.
Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun of “My Love From the Star”
Even more than a decade after its release, Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun’s iconic pairing in “My Love From the Star” remains legendary in the K-Drama world. This fantasy rom-com about an alien and a top actress captivated audiences with its hilarious banter, emotional misunderstandings, and undeniable chemistry.
As two of the most acclaimed actors of their generation, Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun created a one-of-a-kind love story that still holds a special place in fans’ hearts. A reunion between these two stars would undoubtedly be an event worth celebrating.
Yes, we really need to see these iconic pairings back on our screens! How about you? Which K-Drama couple from KOCOWA+ would you love to see reunite? Let us know in the comments!
