10 K-Drama Actresses Who Have Magical Chemistry With Any Male Lead
What’s a K-drama without a female lead who is able to capture her viewers with a simple hair toss or smile? In the world of K-dramas, there are so many actresses who have the ability to create chemistry with basically any male actor they’re cast with. Chemistry is key; even if a script is perfect, if there is no connection between the two leads it won’t be engaging. Here’s a look at 10 female actresses who are able to have chemistry with any male lead.
Hwang Jung Eum
Hwang Jung Eum‘s most noted K-dramas include “Kill Me Heal Me,” “She Was Pretty,” and “Secret Love.” She’s been a part of several star-studded casts, co-starring alongside many famous actors with whom she’s connected effortlessly. Her chemistry-filled career began with Ji Sung in “Secret Love,” and viewers thought they were so perfect together that they worked together again several years later on “Kill Me Heal Me.” Since then she’s consistently proven her ability to adapt to any actor out there, but some of the best examples include:
