Best On-screen Chemistry

Relationships that have had the best chemistry in dramas I've watched over the years AND actors I would like to see work together again.

*The three relationships mentioned at the end are honorable mentions due to reasons that prevent the actors from working together again. Their chemistry was so good though, I had to include them.

**In no particular order after the first five.

  • The Rise of Phoenixes

    1. The Rise of Phoenixes

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 70 episodes

    8.5

    Ni Ni and Chen Kun

    Their chemistry in this drama was captivating. Could be any genre with them together again and I'd watch it. But obviously I'd love another romance, maybe a modern. 

  • Love Is Sweet

    2. Love Is Sweet

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes

    7.0

    Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi

    I enjoyed their chemistry in both Love is Sweet and Till the End of the Moon, but Love is Sweet showcases it the best (even if I didn't love the drama that much). 

  • The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

    3. The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Jung So-min and Seo In-guk

    They have a comfortable, "we just met but I feel like I've known you my whole life", intimate type of chemistry.  

    I guess they have a cameo in a different drama, but I'd love another one with them as the leads.  

  • Goodbye My Princess: Director's Cut

    4. Goodbye My Princess: Director's Cut

    Chinese Drama - 2019, 55 episodes

    9.0

    Peng Xiaoran and Chen Xingxu

    They play both the sweet moments and the heartbreaking moments so well together. It seems like we may never get to see them act together again but I'll always be hoping...

  • You Are My Destiny

    5. You Are My Destiny

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    8.5

    Jang Na-ra and Jang Hyuk

    Omg!! I've only watched them in this drama but apparently they have two other dramas and a movie together. Regardless, would love to see them in more dramas together lol. 

    Their eye acting chemistry alone is better than most other pairings chemistry. 

  • Wonderland of Love

    6. Wonderland of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes

    8.5

    Jing Tian and Xu Kai

    Another great eye acting chemistry pairing lol! It's as if they're having entire conversations just by looking at each other. I'd love to see them in a modern drama. 

  • My Dearest

    7. My Dearest

    Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    9.5

    Ahn Eun-jin and Namkoong Min

    The yearning was on a whole other level with these two! Their chemistry really elevated what was already a beautifully written and deeply emotional love story.

  • Lighter & Princess

    8. Lighter & Princess

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    9.0

    Zhang Jingyi and Chen Feiyu

    I need to do a rewatch, but I do remember them having a very comfortable chemistry together.

  • That Winter, the Wind Blows

    9. That Winter, the Wind Blows

    Korean Drama - 2013, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Song Hye-kyo and Zo In-sung

    They were kind of perfect in TWTWB so I don't know if anything could top it, but I'd love to see them together again now that it's been twelve years.

  • Lost You Forever

    10. Lost You Forever

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 39 episodes

    9.5

    Yang Zi and Zhang Wanyi

    The longing and the heartbreak!! I actually shipped Xiao Yao/Tushan Jing the most, but I also really loved whenever Yang Zi and Zhang Wanyi were on the screen together. It'd be fun to see them as the main romance or something with a similar intensity to what Lost You Forever had. 

  • Shadow Love

    11. Shadow Love

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 38 episodes

    8.0

    Song Yi and Cheng Lei

    They had such a sweet and comfortable chemistry. 

  • Les Belles

    12. Les Belles

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 26 episodes

    8.0

    Lin Yun and Fang Yilun

    I rarely enjoy a historical romcom, but their comedic timing together was perfect, and their romantic chemistry was great as well. Both are in Whispers of Fate, but I'm unsure if they have any scenes together. 

  • The Blossoming Love

    13. The Blossoming Love

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 40 episodes

    9.0

    Sun Zhenni and Zhang Binbin

    Also need to rewatch this one, but I do remember them working really well together. 

  • What Comes after Love

    14. What Comes after Love

    Korean Drama - 2024, 6 episodes

    9.0

    Lee Se-young and Sakaguchi Kentaro

    Another angsty drama with lots of longing but more episodes this time would be perfect.

  • Love in the Clouds

    15. Love in the Clouds

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 36 episodes

    9.0

    Lu Yuxiao and Hou Minghao

    I think a modern drama is a must at this point! 

  • Circle of Love

    16. Circle of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    7.0

    Guan Chang and Li Jiulin

    This drama was..something lol! But their chemistry was great. 

  • My Liberation Notes

    17. My Liberation Notes

    Korean Drama - 2022, 16 episodes

    8.0

    Kim Ji-won and Son Suk-ku

    I didn't really enjoy this drama, but their chemistry was so good! I would love to see them in a drama that I actually liked. 

  • Fangs of Fortune

    18. Fangs of Fortune

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 34 episodes

    10

    The entire cast of Fangs of Fortune is so dear to me :') 

    I would watch any combination of the cast working together again. I know Chen Duling and Tian Jiarui are both in Veil of Shadows and Hou Minghao and Xu Zhenxuan are both in Immortalis.  Hopefully there will be more reunions in the future. 

  • Affinity

    19. Affinity

    Chinese Drama - 2026, 40 episodes

    Fang Jin and Cui Yuxin

    Technically haven't finished this drama and I'm not sure if I'll come back to it, but the chemistry between these two is really good. Some of the best, if not the best, kissing scenes in any drama that I've watched.

  • Love between Fairy and Devil

    20. Love between Fairy and Devil

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    9.0

    Yu Shuxin and Wang Hedi

    The perfect grumpy/sunshine chemistry! 

    I don't necessarily need another drama with them but their chemistry has to be mentioned.

  • Our Generation

    21. Our Generation

    Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes

    10

    Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Linghe

    They've done two dramas together, Our Generation was the only one I finished (and loved). I don't need another drama with them either, but I'd still love to see them together again. 

  • Coffee Prince

    22. Coffee Prince

    Korean Drama - 2007, 17 episodes

    8.5

    Yoon Eun-hye and Gong Yoo

    Their chemistry felt very authentic. This is another one that I don't need another drama with them, but their chemistry was still worth mentioning. 

  • Bromance

    23. Bromance

    Taiwanese Drama - 2015, 18 episodes

    8.5

    Megan Lai and Baron Chen

    They look like they have so much fun together both on and off screen. Another one that I don't need another drama but wouldn't mind if they did another one. 

  • If Only You Weren't the One

    24. If Only You Weren't the One

    Japanese Drama - 2026, 8 episodes

    8.0

    Higuchi Hina and Ikeda Masashi

  • Amidst a Snowstorm of Love

    25. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes

    Zhao Jinmai and Wu Lei

    I stuck with this drama longer than I normally would've before dropping it because the chemistry between these two was so good! Would love to see them in a drama with better writing.

  • My Mister

    26. My Mister

    Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes

    10

    Honorable Mention

    IU and Lee Sun-kyun 

    So much of this drama was conveyed through the unspoken dialogue between characters. It wouldn't have been nearly as successful without these two working so well together. Unfortunately, there won't be a reunion due to the passing of Lee Sun-kyun. 

  • Word of Honor

    27. Word of Honor

    Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes

    8.5

    Honorable Mention

    Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan

    The highlight of this drama was their grumpy/sunshine (who can also be a grump sometimes lol) dynamic. There won't be a reunion though due to Zhang Zhehan being blacklisted. 

  • Love and Redemption

    28. Love and Redemption

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 59 episodes

    8.5

    Honorable Mention

    Yuan Bingyan and Cheng Yi

    A devoted battle couple with great chemistry. But there won't be a reunion because Yuan Bingyan has been blacklisted.
