Nothing beats a romance story in which the couple has limited skinship but the emotions are conveyed without fail. While fans love seeing their favorite K-Drama couples kiss, many are also stoked in watching two people fall in love with their soulful eyes.
Here are 4 K-drama couples who charmed the viewers even without on-screen kissing scenes!
Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri
In "Mr. Sunshine," Lee Byung Hun and Kim Tae Ri worked together for the first time. Both characters have great principles: Lee Byung Hun played the role of a Korean American man who returns to South Korea to avenge his parents.
Meanwhile, Kim Tae Ri is a principled woman who also works in the army to break the stereotypes about women.
The two fall in love as they meet and go through mishaps while struggling to live in a sick nation. The two didn't kiss but the emotions they portrayed showed the intense romance that they have for one another.
Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Si Yoon
Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Si Yoon were coupled up in the "Mirror of the Witch," which depicts the story of a cursed princess who meets her true love in the depths of the mountains.
When the show aired in 2016, Kim Sae Ron was only 16 years old, 14 years younger than Yoon Shi Yoon.
Because of the huge age gap and Kim Sae Ron being a minor, the drama didn't have any kissing scenes and intimacy between the lead stars. Despite that, the viewers are still pleased with the drama, leading it to success.
Kim Ji Won and So Ji Sub
In "One Sunny Day," Kim Ji Won and So Ji Sub teamed up together. The drama centers on the story of two strangers who meet and spend the night in the same guest house, igniting a romance that they have never experienced before.
Although there was an evident chemistry between the two actors, "One Sunny Day" didn't contain any kissing scenes.
Lee Jong Suk and YoonA
In the recently concluded drama "Big Mouth," top stars Lee Jong Suk and YoonA paired up and played the roles of a couple who are willing to sacrifice themselves for one another.
No one could deny the intense chemistry between the seasoned actors. However, the 16-parter drama didn't have any kissing scenes despite having a grand wedding in the series.
The drama was bittersweet as Lee Jong Suk's character loses his partner to cancer at the end of the drama. Nonetheless, "Big Mouth" is still one of the most memorable couples on Korean drama of 2022.
