• I’m still shocked at how much I ended up loving cloy despite being skeptical after seeing the teasers and the promotional material. I agree with the lmh and Maximus comment, they were the true otp lol and WDH has the best chemistry...with himself.

  • Well yeah ..a lot of people were skeptical about CLOY at first .They hated it even before it started airing and said it would be a flop like Melting me, AC etc..But i m so happy,they proved everyone wrong and it came out to be a blockbuster hit..There goes the saying.." Don't judge a book by its cover"..

    • Haha it is difficult not to judge by the book because there’s so many dramas out there and there’s only a limited amount of time, so we have to be selective and we have to make quick judgments lol but due to rave reviews, I checked it out and loved it immensely. Feedback is important to me.

    • Laura, i agree what you are saying but i m just pointing at those people who like to predict that a certain drama will turn out to be flop or blockbuster even before the show starts airing..
      Saying that i m interested/not interested in a drama after looking at the plot or teasers is a different thing from assuming that this will certainly going to be a flop.

      I mean we should wait for atleast one episode before pronuncing the verdict .

• Hum Hospital Playslist couple are actors from Secret Forest 2...

  For the best chemistry, I really liked It's Okay, My Unfamiliar Family with Han Ye Ri and Kim Ji Suk, I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day with Seo Kang Joon and Parl Min Young, A Piece of Your Mind with JHI and CSB.

  For CLOY, I really liked the couple in North Korea, it was kinda magical. But then, it became the usual Kdrama and I was more invested in the ducklings and the ajhummas.

• I absolutely agree with ksh and syj

  • Yup. In my opinion, their chemistry was the best and most scorching out of all the couples.

    Lordy, you could fry an egg with those eye bangings alone.

• Lol at the hidden shade to LMH-KGE and JCW-KYJ pairing. Haha

• Koala, I didnt remember seeing jeon hye jin - choi moo sung in hospital playlist. Which couple are they?

• The year isn’t over yet. Why is it done so early? I feel bad for dramas that air during November and December. They seem to get passed over a lot when it comes to year end polls.

• Koala - there seems to be a mistake somewhere - Jeon Hye Jin - Choi Moo Sung we’re in Stranger 2/Secret Forest 2 not in Hospital Playlist

• On a side note 2020 will go down as a year with drama pairings where the main leads had little or no chemistry whatsoever to speak of. I’ve rarely seen as many hyped dramas where the main leads are a total misfit chemistry-wise:

  1) LMH-KGE The Eternal Monarch
  2) PBG - PSD Record of Youth
  3) LDW - JB Tales of the Nine Tailed Fox
  4) PSJ - KD Itaewon Class

  It would be nice to have a poll where the viewers could rate the chemistry of couples in dramas to see if we universally agree if it’s hot/scorching, warm-tepid, cold or merely non-existent.

  Any other ideas?

  • Park Seo Joon and Kim Dami has no place in your list, because neither of them aimed to be “romantic” in their stories. They’re not romantic couple and never intended to be so. Not by script, director or them as an actors. Because Itaewon Class is not a romance story, it was always about “bonding together” and showcasing “strong will” of all characters, bad or good. Love and romance in stories not equal things. So acting wise Park Seo Joon and Kim Dami had the best chemistry together among anyone mentioned here. Because both of them strong actors, then knew exactly what they’re doing and how to bounce of from each other effortlessly. They were the most natural and mature in their acting.

    • Park Seo Joon and Kim Dami we’re not intended to be a romantic couple, I agree. And if the producers had merely left them as colleagues- one with a one sided crush on her boss til the end of the show, it would have been ideal - and I would have agreed with your comments wholeheartedly. However the production hastily coupled them up in the last two episodes- and it looked pretty lame. Added to the fact that they are not a visual match and PSJ looked pretty bored in the ‘romantic’ scenes with KD. Otherwise the drama would’ve been excellent - but because of this - they belong on my list of couples with little romantic chemistry.

    • Totally Agree

• KSH and SYJ were insanely beautiful together. Every time they shared screen time it was like their characters yearn to have each other. Their eyes spoke a new seductive language in Kdrama for me. They are No.1 for me this year.

• I can't argue with this. The feels and number of times I squealed and hyperventilated when they were in screen is proof that this 2 couples deserve it. From chemistry to visual collectiveness
