Get your tissues ready, OG K-Drama fans, because we have a reunion that will hit you right in the feels!
It has been a staggering 24 years since the iconic MBC classic Romance aired in 2002, and the lead couple has finally graced us with a joint appearance. Yes, Kim Ha Neul and Kim Jae Won are back together!
On February 28 KST, the stunning actress Kim Ha Neul took to Instagram to share heartwarming behind-the-scenes snapshots from a filming set. The occasion? A special promotional interview for the Japanese satellite re-broadcast of Romance scheduled to begin airing today.
For those who might be too young to remember or new to the Hallyu wave, Romance was a cultural phenomenon. It told the forbidden yet captivating love story between a high school teacher, Chae Won (played by Kim Ha Neul), and her student, Gwan Woo (played by Kim Jae Won). The drama is legendary for pioneering the student-teacher romance trope in K-Dramas.
Decades later, their visuals are still top-tier. The duo was invited to sit down for a talk segment to celebrate the drama’s enduring popularity abroad. You can catch a glimpse of their reunion in the teaser video below.
If you haven’t watched this cornerstone of the early 2000s Hallyu wave, now is the perfect time to binge-watch it. The visual chemistry between these two legends is timeless.
