1. 'Snowdrop'
Starring Jung Hae In and BLACKPINK's Jisoo, retro-romantic series "Snowdrop" tells the love story of Im Soo Ho, a North Korean spy, who is discovered injured by Young Ro, a college student. She hides him in an abandoned room in her dormitory building as she assumes he is a pro-democracy activist.
With his handsome face and amazing physique, Young Ro fell first for the spy.
However, as the story progressed, Im Soo Ho fell harder for the college girl for her sweet and caring personality.
What's more? He was the first one to tell her he loves her! (Although it was also the last. We're not going to revisit the painful scene here.)
2. 'Run On'
Im Siwan and Shin Se Kyung's chemistry was overwhelming when the sports-romance drama "Run On" aired.
This 2020 Netflix series is based on the life of Oh Mi Joo, a translator and an ex-national sprinter Ki Seon Gyeom.
"Run On" talks about how they establish feelings for each other and how things between them grow in time.
3. 'Vincenzo'
Vincenzo Cassano (Song Joong Ki) is one of the best K-drama characters we've met for the past few years.
While the attraction between them was obvious from the start, the fierce mafia lawyer fell harder for his flawless and witty partner Hong Cha Young (Jeon Yeo Bin) as the story continued.
