As K-drama fans, we’ve all reached that point where we dream of seeing our favorite actors and actresses star in a drama together. But let’s be real—it’s not that easy! Once two actors work together, the chances of them being paired again are pretty slim, and casting in general can be very unpredictable.
So why not have some fun and manifest our own dream K-drama couples by pairing actors who are currently starring in ongoing dramas?

In “Hot Young Bloods,” Park Bo Young transformed into a strong-willed high school leader set in the 1980s countryside. Meanwhile, Park Bo Gum became a nationwide heartthrob in “Love in the Moonlight” as the soft-spoken yet charismatic Crown Prince Lee Yeong.
