Do you like Korean dramas? Then you know that romance is the most important part of any drama. Today, I will introduce the nine best kiss scenes in Korean dramas from 2010 to 2020.

These scenes are so beautiful that it's hard to rank objectively, so I've listed the famous kiss scenes that were vigorously discussed online in Korea.

Let's take a look and see if your favorite scene is on the list.


THE WARDROBE KISS
What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?

Year: 2018

Actors: Park Seo-Joon, Park Min-Yeong

Channel: tvN

The first kiss scene that made headlines in Korea is the wardrobe kiss scene from the drama, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?

Narcissist Vice-President, Park Seo-Joon, and his secretary who has been assisting him, Park Min-young, had a legendary kiss scene because the two leads had such great chemistry!

In particular, this scene melted the hearts of many viewers with the famous line, "You're so pretty that I can't get angry anymore," spoken while the two were arguing.

In the video below, you can see the whole scene, along with the wardrobe kiss.


CONFIRMATION KISS

Year: 2012

Actors: Seo In-Guk, Jeong Eun-Ji

Channel: tvN

Reply 1997's confirmation kiss also became a huge topic of discussion after the show!

Seo In-Guk and Jung Eun-Ji, the two main characters in the drama, had been close friends since they were young.

In-Guk narrates his thought process: "Is it the shyness about seeing each other's changing body, or the excitement of my first love for a childhood friend?"

After the narration, they share a kiss after only the word, "confirmation." This scene, and the idea of using a kiss as confirmation for whether your emotions are love or not, became very popular in Korea under the name, "Confirmation Kiss."


GOOD NIGHT KISS
Suspicious Partner

Year: 2017

Actors: Ji Chang-Wook, Nam Ji-Hyeon

Channel: SBS

This scene in the drama Suspicious Partner became a hot topic with the two actors' sweet and passionate kisses. The number of views it has on YouTube is comparable to that of an idol music video!

The two actors, after saying good night and giving just a smell peck on the lips, pause and turn to look back at each other. After seeing the fireworks in each other's eyes, they full-on assault each other's faces with a kiss.

I hope you watch the video once and join the 38 million others (or the 38 people who watched it a million times)...

In addition to the kiss scene, The Suspicious Partner is also a thriller featuring murderers, prosecutors and lawyers. So if you like the legal, thriller, and criminal genres, I recommend this drama!


REUNION KISS
Crash Landing On You

Year: 2019

Actors: Hyun Bin, Son Ye-Jin

Channel: tvN

This drama finished its run in 2020 and remains one of the most popular dramas not only of this year, but of all time.

At the end of the drama, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-Jin's characters meet in Switzerland, which was really touching and a great ending to the drama.

The scenery in Switzerland was just as breathtaking as the kiss featured in the video. The harmony and chemistry of everything in the scene was perfect.


AGAINST THE WALL KISS
Another Miss Oh

Year: 2016

Actors: Eric Mun, Seo Hyun-Jin

Channel: tvN

The kiss scene of the drama, Another Miss Oh, was loved so much that it was called a Korean drama legend.

The kiss scene plays out like an action scene as the actors aggressively hit each other and jockey for a dominant position.

In fact, Seo Hyun-Jin, the actress in the scene, performed the scene just the same as she would an action scene.

It can be surprising to think how two people can go from attacking each other to kissing, but you'll easily understand their emotions and thoughts if you watch the drama.


TTEOKBOKKI KISS
Fight For My Way

Year: 2017

Actors: Park Seo-Joon, Kim Ji-Won

Channel: KBS

This scene occurred as naturally as any kiss in your life might occur. The two characters are bickering over tteokbokki, and then kiss each other.

Kim Ji-Won teases Park Seo-Joon by saying that her rank is, "up here (touching her head)," and that his ranking was, "down here (touching her foot)." So Seo-Joon kisses her unexpectedly and responds by saying, "Am I still down there?"

The scene is really adorable thanks to Seo-Joon's calm matter-of-fact tone and Ji-won's embarrassed attitude.


FAREWELL KISS
Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

Year: 2016

Actors: Gong Yoo, Kim Go-Eun

Channel: tvN

Gong Yoo and Kim Go-Eun's kiss made many people's hearts flutter. The scene perfectly brings together the OST, the atmosphere of the environment, and the chemistry of the actors.

Above all, Gong Yoo is known for being a good kisser and always having good kissing scenes, so maybe that helped make this scene famous. After watching it, I kind of want to watch the whole drama again...

The video below is a collection of all the cute scenes between the two stars (including the kiss). You can watch it and see the chemistry!


NECK KISS
The King: Eternal Monarch

Year: 2020

Actors: Lee Min-Ho, Kim Go-Eun

Channel: SBS

Many of the other scenes we've discussed are from dramas that aired years in the past (Crash Landing On You being the exception). But this is a very recent one!

The King was loved by many fans for its immersive theme of parallel worlds and transcendent love. Lee Min-Ho and Kim Go-Eun's kiss on the neck was perhaps the highlight of the drama!

Fans were saying things like, "Lee Min-Ho makes me want to live in Korea!" in the comment section of the video. Did you feel the same way?


KISS ON THE STAIRS
The Bride of Habaek

Year: 2017

Actors: Nam Joo-Hyuk, Shin Se-Kyung

Channel: tvN

The last kiss scene we'll talk about is the stair kiss scene from The Bride of Habaek starring Nam Joo-Hyuk and Shin Se-Kyung.

This drama was the talk of the town for its plethora of kiss scenes. There were always 3 or 4 kissing scenes in each episode and fans kept saying, "Stop kissing."

Among the many options, fans decided that the kiss scene on the stairs was the best in the series.



Today, we've gone over 9 great kissing scenes in Korean dramas. Just writing it out makes my heart flutter.

The decision for which scenes should appear on the list was based on popularity in online discussion in Korea and the views of the videos online.

If you're sad that your favorite scene didn't make the list, or if you can think of another great kiss, let us know!
