Rather than being stereotypes, these characters represent the diversity in human relationships and our favourite type of duo is “the calm vs. the chaotic”. Here are our top 6 K-Drama duos that embody this trope!
1. “Vincenzo” - Vincenzo & Hong ChaYoung
Vincenzo (played by Song JoongKi) is a dark hero through and through whereas his partner-in-justice Hong ChaYoung (Jeon YeoBeen) is a feisty ball of energy. Even if their destination is the same, these two characters have very different means of achieving their ends. We cannot help but be obsessed with their duality.
2. “True Beauty” - Lee SuHo & Han SeoJun
The “best-friends turned enemies turned best friends again” duo SuHo (ASTRO’s Cha EunWoo) and SeoJun (Hwang InYoup) will definitely go down in history as iconic, not just for their endearing friendship but more significantly because of just how contrasting their personalities are. Yet, somehow, they manage to understand each other better than anyone else. Now, that’s what we call platonic soulmates.
3. “Reply 1988” - Choi Taek & Sung DeokSun
Choi Taek (Park BoGum) and Sung DeokSun (Girl’s Day’s HyeRi) could not possibly be any more different from each other. While Taek is a quiet genius, DeokSun is a loud sweetheart and we just can’t get enough of them together. The Choi Taek and Sung DeokSun couple is the very definition of “opposites attract”.
4. “Mr. Queen” - King CheolJong & Kim SoYoung
Worlds had to collide, the time-space continuum had to be disrupted, souls had to be swapped to bring Kim SoYoung (or rather, BongHwan) and King CheolJong together. Shin HaeSun’s Queen is assertive, fearless, and flirty whereas Kim JungHyun’s King could not be more upright. However, both of them bring out the best in each other and we love to see it.
5. “Extraordinary You” - HaRu & Eun DanOh
HaRu (SF9’s RoWoon) and DanOh (Kim HyeYoon) complement each other like yin and yang, which speaks volumes of how diametrically opposed they are in terms of personality. If DanOh is a ray of sunshine, HaRu is the sunshine protector of our dreams and memes. This is what “made for each other” looks like!
6. “Twenty-Five Twenty-One” - Ji SeungWan & Moon JiWoong
Finally, the latest duo to enter this list is none other than BFFs Ji SeungWan (Lee JuMyoung) and Moon JiWoong (Choi HyunWook). Boasting an irreplaceable synergy and an equally precious emotional connection, SeungWan and JiWoong are the blueprint of how meaningful friendships can be. SeungWan would rather study and change the world and JiWoong would rather look cool in front of his crush but together, they’re the happiest and that’s all that matters.
