Now that 2014 is drawing to a close, it may be time to consider the year's most romantic k-drama scenes.
What follows is just a summary of some of the aw-that's-so-sweet scenes that moved us to get mushy inside. They are not the conventional fireworks, champagne and moonlight scenes, but some just a little more unusual.
Feel free to respond with your favorite scenes.
"You Who Came From The Stars:" This drama had so many romantic scenes it is hard to narrow them down. But one of our favorites is the time-freeze kiss-scene on the frozen lake. Kim Soo Hyun said it was his favorite too. Part of what makes it special is that she does not even realize it happened.
"Fated To Love You:" This drama was also full of sweetness, with plenty of conventional romantic moments but the quirkiest and most endearing involved an adhesive bandage. When Jang Nara is hurt, her neighbor Choi Jin Hyuk applies an adhesive bandage. When Jang Hyuk notices the bandage on his sleeping wife, he jealously declares it tacky and replaces it with one of his own. The bandage winds up in their baby scrapbook. It's a sign that he claims her as his own.
"Empress Ki:" Costumes and stunning backdrops aside, the rose petal bathtub scene was our favorite. That's where Ji Chang Wook's Emperor Ta Hwan hides Ha Ji Won's character Seungnyang under his rose-petaled bathwater. If she's found she will be killed. She's under the water for way too long so he dives under to give her a kiss that is really CPR but also powerfully romantic.
"Pinocchio:" The chemistry between Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk so sparkles that the simplest back hugs between their characters are super-charged. And that bread kiss they shared could make people see breakfast in a more romantic way.
"My Spring Day:" Before seeing the drama the idea of Kam Woo Sung and Choi Sooyoung as a couple did not excite the imagination, but they were so sweet together that the scene of their hospital wedding was a tearjerker. They may not be together forever, it said, but forever can be found in a moment.
"A Secret Love Affair:" Yoo Ah In and Kim Hee Ae playing the piano together was electric. And although the music genius and his much-older piano teacher go on to have a more physical and forbidden affair, their musical duo summed up the reasons they had to be together, no matter what it cost them.
