Star News recently conducted a survey commissioned by Gallup Korea, selecting “The Most Beautiful Couples in TV Dramas in the Past 10 Years.” The survey was conducted through votes from 1,052 male and female viewers, aged 19 to 69 nationwide, from August 19 to August 23.
The survey results showed that there were two couples tied for first place in the vote, which were Hyun Bin - Son Ye Jin of the movie " Crash Landing On You" and Gong Yoo - Kim Go Eun of the movie "Goblin".
Both couples got 23% of the vote.
“Crash Landing on You” aired from December 14, 2019 to February 16, 2020. Hyun Bin plays the role of North Korean soldier Ri Jung Hyuk, while Son Ye Jin plays Yoon Se Ri, a beautiful and charming businesswoman.
In an unexpected accident while paragliding, Yoon Se Ri accidentally wanders into North Korean territory, where she meets Ri Jung Hyuk. He takes it upon himself to watch over her while trying to find a way to bring her back to South Korea, and their love blossoms from there.
Up to now, "Crash Landing on You" is still the second highest rated drama in tvN history. The drama became even more memorable when the main actors Hyun Bin - Son Ye Jin officially got married in 2022 and now have their first son.
Not only a beautiful couple on screen, Hyun Bin - Son Ye Jin is also an admired celebrity couple in the Korean entertainment industry.
