classic examples of how to portray intense relationships. While some are backed by childhood first love troupe, another one has a plot centred around some kind of crisis. But in all situations, if the main actors manage to sizzle together, the drama finds its takers. Even in 2025, several Korean shows gave us unforgettable onscreen pairings, from first time collabs to reunions, and from mature love stories to young love.

Here are 7 most memorable K-drama pairings of 2025

1. Im YoonA - Lee Chae Min (Bon Appétit, Your Majesty)
