Kim Soo Hyun has returned to the small screen for the first time since he wrapped his military training with It's Okay To Not Be Okay. The actor plays Moon Kang Tae in the Korean drama.
For K-drama enthusiasts, Crash Landing on You almost feels like home. The 2020 drama managed to win millions of hearts for its star-crossed lovers' storyline which centered on Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin), a South Korean heiress who gets swept across to North Korea into the strong hands of Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin), a North Korean captain in the Korean People's Army.
What's Wrong with Secretary Kim is one of the most popular K-dramas of all time, thanks to its cheesy romance storyline between narcissistic businessman Lee Young-joon (Park Seo-joon) and his loyal secretary of nine years, Kim Mi-so (Park Min-young). Fans couldn't get enough of the tantalising chemistry shared between Seo-joon and Min-young and the dating rumours immediately started circulating like wildfire.

One of the most beloved K-dramas to come out this year was definitely Crash Landing on You starring the gorgeous pair of Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin.

One of the most fascinating aspects of K-dramas that draws the viewers in and sinks its teeth into their fictional imaginations is the chemistry shared between the leads.

While Hyun Bin had an early start to the year with Crash Landing On You releasing in December 2019 and premiering its mid-season episodes during the turn of the decade, there was Lee Min Ho, seated on his majestic white horse waiting to charge his way back into the small screen after he finished his military training.
