SBS Runs Poll Asking Which SBS Drama OTPs Do Viewers Want to See Reunited in Another Drama Again

Ooooh, a fun game, I want to play too! SBS is opening up a bulletin board with a poll open for 1 week asking viewers which of its drama OTPs do the fans want to see reunited in another drama again. Remember, only SBS dramas but there are sooooo many classics and great pairings to choose from. Currently viewers have been posting and the main picks for reuniting again are: Lee Jun Ki and IU from Moon Lovers, Namgong Min and Park Eun Bin in Stove League (and also picks for her and Kim Min Jae for Do You Like Brahms?), Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun from The King: Eternal Monarch, Ji Sung and Lee Se Young in Doctor John, Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won since Secret Garden, Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun in Suspicious Partner, and Kim Soo Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun in their epic You From Another Star. Koala’s own picks are: Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin from It’s Okay, It’s Love, Lee Jong Seok and Park Shin Hye from Pinocchio, and I still want Kim Soo Hyun and Nam Ji Hyun to do a drama together after they were the teen counterparts in Will it Snow for Christmas.
