It’s a part that we sometimes look forward to, especially if the main leads have a lot of chemistry. It takes a lot of experience and practice to really sell the passion of a kiss scene, so it’s no a surprise that there are a handful of K-drama actors who are known to be great kissers on the small screen. Here are 11 of those actors (in no particular order)!
Note: No idol actors were included in this list.
1. Yoo Yeon Seok
Yoo Yeon Seok has one of the best reputations in the Korean entertainment industry as being known as “the kiss master.” He was once on the variety program “Happy Together” and the MCs couldn’t help but praise his kiss scenes. When they asked what kind of tips he could give for other actors, he mentioned that he likes to share a glass of wine with the actress prior to filming to make them feel less anxious about the scene. He tries his best to get close with them so it’s not awkward when it comes time to film. How sweet!
Here is his infamous kiss scene with Seo Hyun Jin in “Dr. Romantic“:
2. Ha Seok Jin
Ha Seok Jin is another K-drama actor who has been dubbed as being a kind of guru when it comes to on-screen kisses. In an interview, when asked what his secret was in creating a perfect kiss scene, he said that he likes to use his hands a lot. He said that he holds their head and face, making it look more passionate. Some of his most notable kisses are in “Drinking Solo,” “1% Of Something,” and “Radiant Office.” The one in particular that really stands out was his kiss with actress Jun So Min in “1% Of Something.” Their chemistry was through the roof!
3. Gong Yoo
Gong Yoo has co-starred with an impressive group of talented actresses. From Yoon Eun Hye, Lee Min Jung, Jeon Do Yeon, to Kim Go Eun – Gong Yoo has won the lottery in terms of having amazing counterparts when it comes to K-dramas and kiss scenes. Having debuted over 20 years ago, he has become very good at showing fans and viewers his skills when it comes to kiss scenes. The passion and conviction in which he is able to act these particular scenes is always squeal-worthy and memorable.

4. Jo Jung Suk
One of Jo Jung Suk’s infamous scenes is from his movie “Architecture 101” where his character instructs his good friend Seung Min (Lee Je Hoon) on how to kiss properly. He must have taken a page out of his own book as he’s known to have some very steamy kiss scenes. One of the most infamous ones is from the drama “Don’t Dare To Dream” (Jealousy Incarnate). His character has a very deep and passion-filled kiss with Pyo Na Ri (Gong Hyo Jin) and there are so many fireworks and heat between the two that you can’t help but squeal.
