From 'Love Alarm' to 'Start-Up,' beloved K-drama pairings reunite years later

Some of K-drama's most memorable pairings are getting a second chance to share the screen, years after their romances first captivated viewers. Notable actors who once generated buzz with their romantic chemistry are reuniting in new projects, sometimes in relationships vastly different from those fans remember. These reunions occur anywhere from four to around ten years after the stars first collaborated, sparking nostalgia as well as curiosity about whether their on-screen chemistry has evolved.

Song Kang and Kim So-hyun, who previously starred together in the Netflix series Love Alarm, are set to reunite in the upcoming MBC drama White Scandal. Five years after their last on-screen appearance together, Song plays Dan Yi-hyuk, a third-generation chaebol heir who refuses to inherit his family's business empire. Kim So-hyun portrays Ji Eun-seol, a former child star whose career has taken a downturn. In White Scandal, the two characters are forced into a fake relationship to deceive the public.

Another beloved pairing, Suzy and Kim Seon-ho from Start-Up, also reunites on the big screen. Ten years have passed since their on-screen romance in the South Korean crime thriller. Suzy plays a journalist while Kim portrays a powerful businessman. Fans are eager to see how their dynamic might have changed over the years and whether their on-screen chemistry will resonate with audiences once again.
