The on-going K-drama “Queen of Tears” is being criticized for its development that has been going downhill, yet maintains high viewership and popularity thanks to the chemistry between actors Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won.
This proves that “chemistry” between K-drama couples is a major element behind success, and below are 5 excellent combinations that you can expect in upcoming dramas.

Actors Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo, both known as “face geniuses”, are considering to star in screenwriter Noh Hee-kyung’s new work.
In particular, on the 24th, the agency of Gong Yoo stated, “Gong Yoo is currently reviewing writer Noh Hee-kyung’s new work.” Meanwhile, Song Hye-kyo previously revealed that she is considering the same K-drama.
