I wonder how many there will be for Eun Chan and her Han Kyul!

Second this! Coffee Prince doesn't make it to my list of absolute favorite dramas, but the OTP is ultimate.

I'm also particularly fond of the OTP whose love was so epic it prevented a devastating war between at least three nations; and another where the girl won over the boy, even though her father had his whole family assassinated. ^^;

after more than ten years still there's no one can beat that line..

10 years passed and still the best love confession line in dramaland.

Iconic love confession indeed

I know it is not a romantic pair, but can I propose Hyun Jong Hyun and Bok Gil from Imaginary Cat (2015)?. Because you can love a pet as if it is family.

Oooh, I've been waiting for this entry...
and other Replys.
CHILBOOOOOOOONGIEEEEEEEEEEEE
My heart still aches every time I remember it.

I'd love to read an entry about Chilbongie or Jung-hwan.
I still get upset whenever I remember how my OTPs were trolled, teased and crushed by the writer. I would write one myself but I'm absolutely horrid at writing so I'm avoiding that to not ruin my tragic OTPs.

Omomomomo

@mollyp @hotcocoagirl

are you writing for Jung Hwan- Doek Sun... i am eagerly waiting if someone else can write. i tried myself but could only stare at Jung Hwan pic instead of writing anything significant... please please do write... *puppy eyes*

Oh you should definitely write a post along these lines! The times when you felt an OTP may not be the end game.

I would love a drama where the main leads end up with the second leads. That would be such a fun (and major) twist!

I honestly don't know why that hasn't been done yet - or maybe it has but I haven't seen it.

I'd like to read this. I was actually pondering doing one about how shows might benefit from not having an OTP.

I still remember watching INAR and a lot of people were struggling with it because it almost completely avoided tropes. I had comments from people early on that they were "struggling to ship her with the second male lead" and I pointed out that you weren't supposed to be shipping her with the second male lead and they basically said, "but it's a kdrama and that's what you're supposed to do". As though somehow every show is just Boys Over Flowers rewritten over and over again. And in many cases it is.

School 2013?

:)

someone please write something about Joonho and Jehyuk from Prison Playbook. or maybe Looney and Captain Yoo, Looney and Kaist. i will take anything, ANYTHING from PPL.

Yes to the 300 page book about Hang-ah and Jae-ha! I cannot think of any other OTP where world peace hangs in the balance because of their actions. Talking about a high stake relationship!

Would it encourage you to submit if you think of this as a 500-1000 word book proposal? 😉

I consider them as the main couple because their love is the one that tangled with the main conflict, the land ownership.

Love your use of emojis! so well thought out!

Im thinking of writing for playful kiss amd all of its many variations. Its a couple and drama.that I ALWAYS come back to and have rewatched approximately 5 kajillion times and seek out every variation that I can find. Oh, I may have to. Seriously.

“Moonlight drawn by clouds,” the why did you have to make the OTP so fracking cute while knowing the real life prince dies young and they’ll be separated forever. 🌜☁️💕😭

Oh my Venus:love you’ve through thick and thin TP? 💏

Master's Sun was my first for-real OTP.

SWDBS was my first Pyramid... the first second lead where the second lead trope worked for me. The second lead showed with their character traits why the first lead completed the OTP. Min chase her from the moment he met her, he spoke what he felt as soon he realized he felt it, and he accepted her before she even knew that's what she need -- all the things that the second lead didn't do until it was too late.

Honestly, at this point you two are an OTP in my book ~ ;)

Please hahahaha

Of course, as long as The Rim & @mary together validate your essay. 😇😄

Yes!!!! 😂

Ultimate DB Oppa-Beanie OTP!

I know Gang doo and Moon soo are new, but it's so true. It's hard to beat them. I like them both as individuals and a couple.

I think this is a great post to write: 'true' OTPs.

For me, that would be OTPs that are good for each other. I love stories where the OTP complement each other or see things in the other that only they would see. So I've been spoiled recently with Moon Soo and Gang Doo as well as Kim Min Kyu and Jia

Please write about it. Honestly, they improve each other and compliment each other sooo welllll. I mean there are sooo many other OTP's in drama land, but this one feels so much more functional down the line

LOL i agree with you in almost everything you listed. 😂... heirs and boys over flower...you forgot to mention You are beautiful, also that was an OTP that didn't work. He was an arrogant jerk, and she was also a pitiful silly girl. Come on: I give you permission to love me?? (Or something like that, he said)... 😒
I didnt have experience at that time, that is why I watched that show.

Jung Sun/ Hyun Soo “Temperature of Love” (palpable chemistry OTP… the chemistry of the two actors made it work for me, in an otherwise slow/shaky story)

What could have been /regretful sigh/ The feels they gave me in the first few episodes totally win them OTPoints though. I totally loved the vibe they gave off during those first few interactions ;;

PREACH!

I think this is one of the reasons I tend to like SLP's (second lead pairing) or go looking for an SLP in a drama that I like that has a little age thing going.

Goblin --> I liked Reaper and Sunny MUCH better as a pairing.

I Hear Your Voice --> I was praying that male lawyer would get it on with the female prosecutor because I loved the story, the supernatural schtick, the mom, the villain, the characters... but he's in high school!!! He's in high school!!! Stop... go to college and then talk to me.

Any Louis and Bokshil appreciation is love. The one true puppy pairing to rule all the puppies.

Word limit! LOL😂😂😂😂

Don’t worry about the word limit, I submitted something about 600 words over and they edited down for me! If it’s compelling, write it!

Queen In-hyun's Man YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES

Princess' Man

INAR
SWDBS
Healer
are my top three

I do agree about I Hear Your Voice, Coffee Prince though. They were very good OTPs.

I must be the lone voice in the wilderness of Queen In Hyun's Man because I really disliked that OTP. I thought he treated her badly, constantly demeaning and belittling her for not being smart enough. I have a thing about OTPs where I need them to be able to answer "what do you actually like about each other?" and in that show I thought the answer was "she's hot and dumb so I can show her off and feel superior to her at the same time".

I'm about to watch Princess' Man because everybody keeps saying the OTP is great.
