7 Idol Romance K-Dramas To Watch If You're A K-Pop Fan
Imagine falling in love with your favorite star not on screen but in the quiet ordinariness of everyday life. While K-dramas have often flirted with celebrity love stories, idol romances exist in a far more emotionally charged space. Idols are not just famous; they are curated, surveilled, and emotionally connected to fandoms. In “idol x non-idol” romances, love becomes an act of resistance against image making, expectation, and public sentiment. These dramas explore the loneliness behind the adoration as well as the fear of being truly seen, the desire for an ordinary connection in an extraordinary life. Here are seven such dramas that might satisfy your fangirl soul. “IDOL I” Maeng Se Na (Sooyoung) is a formidable lawyer who is ruthless in court. What people do not know is that she is also a devoted fan of idol Do Ra Ik (Kim Jae Yeong). When not arguing cases in court, she is wholeheartedly supporting her favorite singer. The fan and idol relationship takes on an unsettling turn when Ra Ik is accused of murder. Se Na steps in to fight for her bias’s innocence, convinced that he would never commit such a crime and that he is being framed. As they come face to face as defense attorney and murder suspect, the dynamic between them slowly shifts into something more intense. “IDOL I” draws you in for its unusual premise, blending fandom with mystery, suspense, and romance. The palpable chemistry between Sooyoung and Kim Jae Yeong is an added bonus. Start watching :”IDOL I”: “Lovely Runner” A fangirl who is willing to defy time and destiny to save her idol, Im Sol (Kim Hye Yoon) is devoted to Ryu Sun Jae (Byeon Woo Seok) of ECLIPSE. It was his words and music that gave her hope through the most trying time in her life. But it seems the man who gave her hope is struggling himself. As tragedy befalls Sun Jae, Im Sol, on that very day, finds herself transported to the past. She finds herself back in school with Sun Jae, who is the star swimmer. Well aware of how life as an idol will pan out for him in the future, she is determined to change the outcome as well as his destiny, even at the cost of her own life. But it seems Im Sol and Sun Jae share a far deeper connection. Although fairly recent, “Lovely Runner” is already an all-time favorite for many, with Byeon Woo Seok immortalizing Sun Jae as one of K-dramaland’s most loved idol characters. Start watching “Lovely Runner”: “The Heavenly Idol” Pontifex Rembrary (Kim Min Kyu), a divine priest, is suddenly thrust into the chaotic world of K-pop. He wakes up in the body of Woo Yeon Woo, a struggling idol in the group Wild Animal, whose popularity has been on a downward spiral. Rembrary’s divine confidence and being oblivious to idol life is a comedy of errors but one that eventually pushes Wild Animal to chart busting fame. Supporting him is Kim Dal (Go Bo Gyeol), the band’s manager, who is battling a traumatic past. With her quiet strength and Rembrary’s mystical powers, they encounter dark forces from his world as well as the treacherous realities of the entertainment industry. “The Heavenly Idol” balances romance, comedy, and moral stakes. It’s an underrated drama, and it makes for an engaging watch. Start watching “The Heavenly Idol”: “So I Married the Anti-Fan” Magazine reporter Lee Geun Young’s (Sooyoung) life spirals after a disastrous run in with top star Hoo Joon (Choi Tae Joon). The encounter ends in public humiliation and her abrupt dismissal from work. Certain that Hoo Joon is responsible, she stages a protest outside his agency, only to be swiftly branded as an “anti-fan” by the media. Her fortune takes another turn when a television producer offers her a desperate lifeline: a reality show that forces her to live under one roof with the very celebrity she despises. Hoo Joon, viewing it as a convenient PR exercise, agrees. What begins as mutual hostility and petty sabotage gradually softens into something more sincere as the two navigate life under constant surveillance. Packed with lighthearted chaos, emotional beats, and simmering romantic tension, the series leans into the pleasures of the slow burn. Its bickering leads, gradual chemistry, and warm emotional payoff make it an easy, surprisingly sweet watch. Start watching “So I Married the Anti-Fan”: “Spring of Youth” Sa Gye (Ha Yoo Joon), a member of a famous K-pop band, finds his career come to an abrupt halt after a scandal. He is pushed out of the group and is forced to confront life beyond the spotlight. He enrolls in college and tries to blends in to campus life, faraway from the whirlwind and glitter of idol life. As he settles into university, he meets Kim Bom (Park Ji Hu), a talented and driven music student back from a stint abroad after a family tragedy. There is also Seo Tae Yang (Lee Seung Hyub), a medical student with a deep love for music. The trio, along with other students, form a campus band, and Sa Gye rediscovers his passion for music. He also falls for Bom, and as romance blossoms, the two emotionally support each other through lingering grief and unresolved memories. “Spring of Youth” is a coming-of-age drama about reinvention, healing, and emotional recalibration. Start watching “Spring of Youth: “ “Doona!” Performance pressure, recurring imposter syndrome, and burnout take their toll on Lee Doona (Suzy), a high flying K-pop idol. She chooses to step away from life in the spotlight and retreat to a life of anonymity in a shared house near a university. There, she meets college student Won Jun (Yang Se Jong), who, unaware of her former superstar status, treats her like any other housemate. Doona grapples with loneliness and the lingering weight of her past trauma. However, the quiet ordinariness of Won Jun’s life steadies her. The two navigate an unlikely connection, which takes them on a journey of self discovery. Grounded as it is bittersweet, “Doona!” sensitively explores mental health, the isolating cost of being a celebrity, and the unseen emotional toll borne by those who are expected to shine for others. “Let Me Be Your Knight” Yoon Tae In (Lee Jun Young) is the leader of a highly popular K-pop group called LUNA. In an attempt to cure Tae In’s sleepwalking, his CEO brings in Yoon Joo (Jung In Sun) into the dorm, a doctor who could help cure his condition. However, it soon turns out to be a case of mistaken identity. Yoon Joo is not actually a doctor at all: it is her twin who is a doctor. The clash between Tae In and Yoon Joo is often hilarious as they constantly bicker and argue, eventually giving away to fondness. Even though the drama leans into familiar tropes and playful situations, it remains a light-hearted, no fuss rom-com between an idol and his fake doctor. While the storyline can be predictable, there’s comfort in that familiarity, which is complemented by good music and a strong ensemble and makes it an easy watch. Start watching “Let Me Be Your Knight”: Puja Talwar is a Soompi writer with a strong Yoo Yeon Seok and Lee Junho bias. A long time K-drama fan, she loves devising alternate scenarios to the narratives. She has interviewed Lee Min Ho, Gong Yoo, Cha Eun Woo, and Ji Chang Wook to name a few.

Lee Jong Won Faces Suffocating Horror While Searching For Missing Colleague Kim Hye Yoon In New Film “Whispering Water”
The upcoming horror film “Whispering Water” has released its first stills of Lee Jong Won! “Whispering Water” is a horror film about a production crew sent to a reservoir named Salmokji to reshoot road-view footage after an unidentified figure was spotted in their initial footage. There, they encounter a mysterious presence lurking in the dark, deep water. Taking on his first leading role in a commercial film—and his first venture into the horror genre—Lee Jong Won stars as Ki Tae, Su In’s (Kim Hye Yoon) colleague who becomes entangled in the mysterious events surrounding Salmokji. The film follows a seven-member production crew who travel to Salmokji after an unidentified figure—one they never filmed—appears in previously captured road-view footage. As they investigate, a hidden presence lurking beneath the reservoir’s dark, deep waters begins to emerge, unleashing terrifying consequences. Ki Tae, a producer at a road-view company, heads to Salmokji in search of his missing colleague Su In, only to find himself drawn into a suffocating horror that traps him like a swamp. The newly released stills capture his growing unease, from standing tense in a dim office while gripping his phone to the shocking moment he arrives at Salmokji and is overwhelmed by what he encounters. Lee Jong Won shared, “Ki Tae is someone with a strong sense of responsibility and a deep desire to protect others. He’s the type who acts before he speaks—a character who moves forward without looking back,” adding, “I was excited to see what kind of story and fear could be created when I naturally immersed myself in the script.” “Whispering Water” is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8.
Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, And Moon Sang Min’s New Film “Pavane” Reveals Key Reasons To Tune In
Netflix’s new film “Pavane” has unveiled key points to watch ahead of its release today! Based on the best-selling novel “Pavane for a Dead Princess,” “Pavane” tells the story of three young adults struggling to love themselves. As these emotionally closed-off individuals find solace in each other’s company and slowly become a ray of light for one another, they ultimately learn to face life and love again. Here are three key highlights of the film! 1. The quiet yet heartfelt comfort and relatability conveyed through the trio’s coming-of-age journey Mi Jung (Go Ah Sung), Yo Han (Byun Yo Han), and Gyeong Rok (Moon Sang Min)—each carrying emotional wounds that prevent them from loving even themselves—the film paints a poignant portrait of youth navigating a harsh reality. As the three naturally grow closer and slowly rediscover light in their lives together, the story promises a tender depiction of youth and healing. Director Lee Jong Pil shared, “I hoped the film would hold the feelings people have about love and youth,” adding that “Pavane” delivers a story that is both sweet and bittersweet, offering empathy and gentle consolation to young people forced to give up dreams and love in the face of reality. 2. Chemistry between Go Ah Sung, Byun Yo Han, and Moon Sang Min Go Ah Sung, known for her stable and delicate acting, plays Mi Jung, a woman who hides herself from others’ gaze. After meeting Gyeong Rok, the first person to treat her without prejudice, Mi Jung gradually begins to change. Byun Yo Han takes on the role of Yo Han, a free-spirited and unpredictable character—at times lighthearted yet serious, warm yet distant—whose layered personality comes alive through the actor’s signature depth. Moon Sang Min plays Gyeong Rok, a young man who gave up his dream of becoming a temporary dancer and now faces harsh reality. Drawn to Mi Jung after their chance encounter, Gyeong Rok begins moving toward his stalled dreams and future once again, portraying the clumsy yet sincere emotions of youth. 3. Director Lee Jong Pil’s delicate direction Previously known for capturing the struggles and hopes of youth in films such as “Samjin Company English Class” and “Escape,” the director has shared that he had long dreamed of creating a romance film since his teenage years. Unlike the original novel, which unfolds in a first-person perspective, the film reconstructs the story through the viewpoints of Mi Jung, Yo Han, and Gyeong Rok, presenting a more layered portrayal of love, friendship, and growth. A diverse soundtrack spanning classical, rock, jazz, and Korean pop—along with visual motifs of light such as auroras, sunsets, and rainbows—enhances the film’s distinctive melodramatic atmosphere. “Pavane” will be released on Netflix on February 20 at 5 p.m. KST.

Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon’s ordinary human romance is just getting started on “No Tail to Tell”! SBS’s “No Tail to Tell” is a fantasy romance drama starring Kim Hye Yoon as Eun Ho, a quirky Gen Z gumiho (magical nine-tailed fox) who is determined not to become human, and Lomon as Kang Si Yeol, an overly confident world-class soccer player. The drama will follow their chaotic journey as the two attempt to save one another. Spoilers Previously on “No Tail to Tell,” Eun Ho unilaterally announced that she needed to date Kang Si Yeol, marking the start of an unusual and ambiguous relationship between the two of them. At the end of their first date, Eun Ho declared that she planned to erase his memories if they returned to their original lives, leading Kang Si Yeol to respond by kissing her. In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, the relationship between the two humans begins in earnest. While taking a walk in the morning, the couple holds hands and gazes at one another with happy, loving smiles. Worried that Eun Ho might catch a cold from the chill in the morning air, Kang Si Yeol carefully adjusts her hat—an affectionate gesture that startles the inexperienced Eun Ho by making her heart skip a beat. The “No Tail to Tell” production team remarked, “Just as Eun Ho had hoped, they will begin a very ordinary, typical romance. Please keep an eye on what sorts of crises and trials await these two characters, who are so happy that they aren’t even fazed by their overturned fates, and how they will overcome them.” They went on to tease, “An even more unpredictable plot will unfold in the second half of the story.” The next episode of “No Tail to Tell” will air on February 19 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
