Top 7 Most Loved 'Real-life Couples' from Korean Dramas

During an appearance on Life Bar, Ki Tae Young shared his story about his wife Eugene, from their first meeting to the romantic proposal. The couple gained widespread attention when they featured on KBS's The Return of Superman. Ki Tae Young reminisced about their first encounter while filming 'Creating Destiny' in Australia, where they had a romantic kissing scene. He revealed, 'We shot a kissing scene in Australia, and that was the first time we met.' However, he didn't initially feel any attraction towards Eugene. 'During the first few months of filming, we only exchanged greetings and didn’t think we’d marry a celebrity like each other,' he confessed.

He also explained what made him fall for Eugene: 'What stood out to me was how she never participated in gossiping behind people’s backs when we were out eating with the crew.' The two met while filming the drama in 2009 and married two years later. After three years of marriage, they welcomed their first daughter in April 2015, marking the result of their love.

In 2004, both Lee Bo Young and Ji Sung were rising stars in the Korean entertainment industry. They starred together in the drama 'Save The Last Dance For Me,' but it was Ji Sung who was captivated by Lee Bo Young's beauty and strong personality. Determined to win her heart, Ji Sung decided to put aside his pride and fame. He persistently tried to get closer to her, even joining her friend group and leaving notes like 'I like you' in her bag. Despite his efforts, Lee Bo Young refused, as she wasn’t looking for a relationship within the entertainment industry.

After several rejections, Ji Sung didn't give up. Instead, he promised, 'If you want a boyfriend outside the entertainment world, I am willing to give up acting.' He continued to pursue her, not with money or his fame, but with sincerity. For Bo Young’s birthday, instead of buying expensive gifts or throwing a lavish party, Ji Sung organized a small fireworks display. When the police arrived to investigate the illegal fireworks, Ji Sung and his manager ran away quickly. Though not a typical romantic celebration, it touched Lee Bo Young’s heart, and she finally agreed to date him.
