Shows with good chemistry between actors
-
1. Autumn's Concerto
Taiwanese Drama - 2009, 21 episodes
It's an old one but still a favorite. It was one of the first Taiwanese dramas I watched. I thought the leads had a chemistry that pulled me in to their romance and made it epic. There's a lot of angst and a lot of waiting for them to get together, but when they do sparkles fly.
-
2. Blossom
Chinese Drama - 2024, 34 episodes
I thought I knew Li Yun Rui but this drama made me think again. I had never seen him act the way he does in this one. The way he connected with the female lead was beyond words and made this drama that much more interesting. It was the sole reason I kept watching it.
-
3. Boys over Flowers
Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes
Nope, not Jan Di and Jun Pyo but I was a fangirl for Jan Di and Ji Hu all the way. I just liked their pairing better. They had more chemistry.
-
4. Crash Landing on You
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
They are MARRIED in real life. Need I say more?
-
5. Devil beside You
Taiwanese Drama - 2005, 20 episodes
Another Mike He and Rainie Yang drama. It's amazing.
-
6. Devilish Joy
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
Put a very tall man next to a veryshort woman and I'm already hooked. Add a shitload of good chemistry to that mix and you have perfection.
-
7. Fangs of Fortune
Chinese Drama - 2024, 34 episodes
Not because of Zhao Yuan Zhou and Wen Xiao but because of Zhao Yuan Zhou & Zhou Yichen and also Wen Xiao and Pei Si Jing. One of the best non-romantic (I wish they were tho) Bl and GL within one series.
-
8. Hidden Love
Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes
Do I need to say more? It's one of the few modern cdrama I actually liked and it had a lot to do with the chemistry the main leads have with each other. I absolutely loved every second of it.
-
9. I Promised You the Moon
Thai Drama - 2021, 5 episodes
Another chemistry bomb by Billkin and PP Krit.
-
10. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
Do I need to elaborate? This chemistry was beyond words.. no beyond worlds.... It still makes me yearn for more. I'm so happy they did another movie together. Cause I NEED MORE.
-
11. I'm Not a Robot
Korean Drama - 2017, 32 episodes
I didn't know the main leads all that well but I love their chemistry. That kiss was one bloody steming hot kiss. It was mind-blowing.
-
12. King the Land
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
I just want them to date in real life. The chemistry was THAT good. I want to see more of them together.
-
13. Koizora
Japanese Drama - 2008, 6 episodes
I especially picked the drama because the pairing in the series has way more chemistry than the one in the movie.
-
14. Love Between Fairy and Devil
Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes
The chemistry between Esther Yu and Dylan Wang was one to die for as well.
-
15. Love Is Sweet
Chinese Drama - 2020, 36 episodes
Where TTEOTM was my trauma, this healed my soul. Like I said... the chemistry between the leads is nucleair and I wish they get to do more dramas together.
-
16. Lovely Runner
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
I don't even know what to say. Just watch it and you'll know how much chemistry there is. It made me weak in the knees.
-
17. My Journey to You
Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes
I'm not a huge fan of the two main couples in the drama... the brothers Gong however make me want to crawl into a corner and have an ugly cry. They did so well and their chemistry was to die for.
-
18. One and Only
Chinese Drama - 2021, 24 episodes
This is a special one because there's no full-blown romance but a silent one. With subtle acting of the eyes and word choice the chemistry just bursts off the screen. The follow-up drama didn't really do it for me though. It felt like they had all the chemistry in this one and drained it for the second one.
-
19. Queen of Tears
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
It's too bad Kim Soo Hyun has such a bad rep and I don't expect him to make a comeback anytime soon because the chemistry between him and Kim Ji Won is something special. I've never seen him like this with one of his co-stars before. I know he can do a romance very well but this one topped it all off.
-
20. Shadow Love
Chinese Drama - 2025, 38 episodes
The way they just look at each other makes me want to giggle. I know there are dating rumors (there always are) but this time I am a delulu because they have so much chemistry... no way there aren't any feelings IRL
-
21. Splash Splash Love
Korean Drama - 2015, 2 episodes
I was so mad this was just a short drama. I truly wish it would have been a full blown drama with 16 episodes. I needed more of their chemistry.
-
22. Strong Girl Bong Soon
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
This chemistry is the mother of all kdrama chemistry.
-
23. Suspicious Partner
Korean Drama - 2017, 40 episodes
I always think of healer first whenever I think of Chang Wook and having chemistry with his female counterpart BUT this is a close second.
-
24. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
BL's usually tend to have a lot of chemistry, but this one stands out. The two main leads practically devour each other by the way they look at each other.
-
25. The Last Immortal
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
This is my favorite Zhao Lusi pairing. They look so great together and it feels like they've been together for ages. They feel natural. Wish they'd do more dramas together.
-
26. The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
I have never shipped anyone as hard with Seo In Guk as I did Jung So Min, and still do to this day. They are so great together. I'm a giant geek for acting with the eyes and they both do that a lot in this one.
-
27. The Story of Pearl Girl
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
This is my second favorite Zhao Lusi pairing. She has this spark with Liu Yunning that she doesn't have with anyone else. It's amazing and I love it. Can't wait to start Long Ballad.
-
28. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
I refuse to call it a botherhood. It's a BL. Too bad the actors don't really interact in real life anymore, after what happened. I wish we got more of them together. Here's to hoping they do.
-
29. Till the End of the Moon
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
The chemistry between Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi is nucleair. Therefore this one belongs to this list as well as Love is Sweet.
-
30. ToGetHer
Taiwanese Drama - 2009, 13 episodes
If I have to pair Rainie Yang with anyone other than Mike He, it would be Jiro Wang. They have so much chemistry. I'd never seen Jiro that way before. It made me fall in love with his acting.
-
31. When Destiny Brings the Demon
Chinese Drama - 2025, 33 episodes
Even in real life the actors can't get enough of each other. Enough said
-
32. Why Why Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2007, 15 episodes
I absolutely adored Mike He and Rainie Yang together. I don't know how to describe it. They just work. It still amazes me they weren't a real couple and never dated. So this one belongs in this list, as well as Devil Beside You.
