Park Bogum and IU in a slice of life drama where they are a married couple with a young family.

Well I already mentioned how much I appreciated the idea of Kim Nam-gil and Kim Jae-wook together.

Genre could be something like The Pretender - KNG on the hunt for master of disguises KJW with all the attendant latent sexual tension!

Or maybe something like Hikaru No Go - two equally brilliant men constantly in opposition but also two parts of a whole.

Yoo Ah In and Jeon Yeo Been in something that will make us cry buckets.
Seo In Guk and Shin Hye Sun would also be awesome together in anything

Han Yeri and Chu Ja-hyun.
Chu Ja-hyun and Go Hyunjung.
Another Seo Hyun-Jin and Heo Jun-ho.
Ji Sung and Park Min-young.
Lee Jun-hyuk and Park Jin-joo in a comedy.
Kim Seo-hyung and Go Hyunjung and Kim Hyesoo.
Yoo Jun-sang and Oh Nara in a older generation rom-com.

1. I love how Park Ji-eun (Crash Landing on You, My Love from the Star) and Kim Eun-sook (Descendants of the Sun, Secret Garden) exclusively pair superstars, so my dream pairings are
-Kim Tae-ri with Kim Soo-hyun, Yoo Ah-in, or Song Joong-ki
-Jun Ji-hyun with Gong Yoo, Hyun Bin, or Jo In-sung

2. I want all my favorite actors to be paired with actors their age and not actors ten years older, so I'll take any genre for
-Moon Ga-young with Lee Do-hyun or Lee Jae-wook

It's hard to imagine it without a story behind.

But I really liked Nam JiHyun pairing when she did the young counterpart in dramas and I would like to see her with the same actors but as adult leads :
NJH with Kim Soo-Hyun : I mean they could rewrite Will It Snow for Christmas for them and not the old one. I just remember their scenes and not the rest of the drama 😅
NJH with Kang Ha-Neul : They were super cute in Angel Eyes and I could totally imagine them with her being blind and him around her.

After watching the commentar of The King's Affection where Park Eun-Bin and Rowoon were talking about a second season in the modern world, it would be fun to see them in a rom-com.

In general, I like to be surprised by the actors. Sometimes, I don't think a pair will work but they do and sometimes it's the opposite. I don't think the difference of age is an issue in itself because it depends a lot on the actors.

Kim Nam-gil and Kim Ah-joong

Right now, it's Ji Sung and Seo Ji-hye in a romance!!

Park Bogum and Kim Dami in a drama or movie about serial killer. Either one or the other as a morally ambiguous character. I want them to try a different role feom their previous.

- Park Eun-bin and Gong Yoo in a epic periodic melodrama set from 1969 to 1989
- Nana and Lee Do-hyun in an action thriller with a modern-day fictional Bonnie and Clyde-like
- Song Joong-ki and Lee Jung-jae in an one epic adventure that set in the Philippines
- Hyun Bin and Bae Doona in a slasher horror that wanted the female lead to die at the finale
- Song Kang and Oh Nara in a romantic comedy about behind the scenes on what's happening in a fictional Kpop music countdown show
- Park Bo-gum and Lee Chae-young in a survival disaster drama about shipwreck
- Han So-hee and one of my fave veteran actors, Park Seun-geun in a caper comedy that set in Las Vegas

I know Kim Seo-hyung will be playing Han Seok-kyu's cancer-stricken wife in an upcoming Watcha drama, and also the lead role in an adaptation of the Japanese novel Paper Moon in which she has a troubled affair with a younger man. But could someone please put her in a screwball comedy with an ahjusshi as sparky and sophisticated as her - Park Yong-woo, say, or Park Sung-geun - and give them lots of witty repartee and romantic chemistry.

Jung So-min and Junho in something combining comedy and angst with no lawyers. I'm terrible at thinking of plots, which is why I'm not a fiction writer.

Moon Ga-young and Lee Jae-wook in an intelligent romcom where no one wears a school uniform.

Lee Jongsuk and Kim Jiwon (should've happened years ago but failed and now i want this pairing)
Lee Jongsuk and Park Minyoung in a flirty and sexy romcom
Yeo Jingoo and Moon Gayoung in coming of age drama (and much better script!)
Park Hyungsik and Kim Taeri in anything

I want to be surprised. LOL
But if I have to pick, I say Kim Nam Gil and Kim So Yeon in Jdrama mystery romance remake, Ice World or something similar. LOL I remember they wanted to do the remake (a long time ago) but it did not work out.
Or Kim So yeon and Park Hee Soon in a drama this time to have plenty of screen time. It could be a thriller genre.
A female centric drama with Kim Hee Ae, Kim Seo-hyung and Ko Hyun-Jung (whatever genre except soap opera/crazy makjang).

I'd like to see the following again:
Park Bo Gum and Lee Sung Kyung - liked the short cameo in RoY
Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Young - they were adorable in The Werewolf Boy
Kim Min Jae and Kim So Hyun (fantasy romcom) - I loved their tandem in Goblin, even though they were the childhood counterparts!
Kim Min Jae and Moon Ga Young (romcom) - I felt robbed in Tempted, when they didn't have enough scenes together!

And some new couples:
Park Bo Gum and Kim Ji Won (thriller)- Maybe working together to solve cases
Kim Young Dae and Kim Yoo Jung - (best friends to lovers/slice of life)
Park Hyung Sik and Lee Se Young (star-crossed lovers in sageuk would be interesting)

Kim seon-ho and Han So-hee in a melodrama
Kim Seon-ho and Han Ye-ri in a slice of life
Kim Seon-ho and Chu Ja-hyun in a Noona romance drama
Kim Seon-ho and Seo Hyun-jin in a feel good rom com
Kim Seon-ho and .. well it can be anyone. I just want him on my screen.

I have SO MANY potential pairings that come up in my head, I don’t even know if I can list them all. Despite my wishes, they tend to skew towards romantic and heterosexual relationships instead of platonic or queer pairings because apparently, even in my day dreams, I cannot imagine a more queered, friendship-focused dramaland. Take from that what you will.

Lee Soo-hyuk + Kim Seul-gi: Idk, I randomly came up with this pairing one day on a fan wall and it hasn’t left my mind since. Him as a stern and serious writer, her as an up-and-coming comedienne. Hmmm, I need this in my life!

Lee Jun-hyuk + Han Ye-ri: I just think they’d be neat together.

Kim Nam-gil + Gong Hyo-jin: Maybe they could be reluctant detective partners paired up for an important case who slowly come to appreciate one another (and maybe kiss).

Gong Yoo + Seo Hyun-jin: One of those pair-ups I’m genuinely surprised hasn’t happened yet.

Junho + Esom: This one’s for us, @dncingemma.

Song Joong-ki + Yoo Ah-in: One of the platonic ones (unless dramaland gets very progressive very quickly), because those two were a delight together in Sungkyunkwan Scandal.

Kim Seo-hyung + Lee Young-ae: This one will NOT be platonic, dramaland homophobia be damned. I need these gorgeous ladies to be lovers. Preferably with some angsty yearning thrown in the mix.

Kim Hye-joon + Lee Joo-young: Another romantic pairing only.

Lee Jong-suk + Park Min-young: Feel weird this noona romance hasn’t happened yet. To switch it up a bit (for PMY’s sake because my god she needs it), let’s make it a sageuk! Maybe one set in Silla

Yoon Eun-hye + Gong Yoo OR Joo Ji-hoon: Just need this queen to be back.

Moon Ga-young + Woo Do-hwan OR Kim Min-jae: Tempted ruined all my hopes and dreams and I want it back.

Kwon Yul + Chu Ja-hyun: I NEED THIS!!!

Kim Nam Gil and Ha Ji Won in a sageuk. Has to be a sageuk.

Kim Yoo Jung * Kim min jae
Kim Yoo Jung * Yeo Jin goo (reunion please)
Kim Yoo Jung * Hwang in yeop

😑

I don’t want these to be romcom pairings - I’d just like to see these actors that I admire bounce off each other:

Chae Soo Bin and Park Seo Joon

Han Ye Ri and Gong Yoo

Jang Hyuk and Kim Hee Sun

Lee Jong Suk and Choi Won Young (I’d love them to have a Sunbae-Hoobae type relationship in something)

I also love ensemble dramas, but are these actors too big to appear in those?

Lee Min Ki and Jo Boah. Anyone who has seen Shut Up: Flower boy band, will know what I am talking about *sobs*.

I wanna see Jang Nara with Jang Hyuk or Shin Sung Rok again in an action romcom, where they play as married NIS agents characters.

-Kang Ki Young x Kim Seulg Gi - romcom (coworkers falling in love).
-Kang Ki Young x Lee El - melo (married couple. Or single parent that falls in love with his son's teacher?)
-Baek Jin Hee x Son Woo Hyun - romcom (friends to lovers)
-Moon Chae Won x Song Joon Ki - romcom (from friend of a friend to lovers)
-Go Ah Ra - Seo Kang Joon - romcom (celebrity and bodyguard)
-Bae Doo Na x Jo Seung Woo - melo (Secret Forest spin off. They're married and have kids).
-Yoon Eun Hye x Shin Min Ah x Kim Tae Hee - slice of life about women (something like Search WWW, Be Melodramatic or Work Later, Drink No)

Bonus (movie):
-Moon Chae Won x Han Hyo Joo - Park Chan Wook (a mix between Ahgassi and Sympathy for lady Vengance)

Ryu Hye-Young (Bora from 1988) and Kim Hwan-Hee (Hwi from When the Weather is Fine) as sisters in a Vincenzo-esque revenge drama.

The younger cast from Moon Embracing the Sun reunited as adults in a modern melo (seriously that line up of child actors was AMAZING.)

Kim Beom and Chae Soo-bin in a rom com.
