Korean Dramaland 2014: My Dream OTP reunions



We're almost through with the second half of 2014 and with 5 OTP reuniting on the small screen, there's a big chance that 5 or more will follow. I've always believed that if it rains, it pours. So here’s my wishlist of OTP reunions that I want to reunite for the second half of 2014. (Miracles happen!)

Warning: This list contains spoilers for various Korean dramas…You have been warned!

The OTPs I want to reunite in Dramaland 2014:

Jung Ryeo Won - Lee Beom Soo (History of the Salaryman OTP)


This OTP managed to get married and have a child together by the end of the series without even kissing onscreen. Yup, not even once. I feel like we've been robbed of a romantic development, but then again Salaryman is not a romantic drama, it's a mesh of different genres.

For their reunion: Definitely a romantic comedy! With kisses, lots and lots of kisses.

Ha Ji Won - So Ji Sub OTP (What Happened in Bali OTP)


I watched this series at a very young age; not knowing what the hell was going on. I was too young to understand the complexities of the characters and the convoluted storylines. But, I still remember that ending, that tragic ending!

This OTP wasn't canon because they both died at the end. See? Tragic ending. What made it more tragic was Ha Ji Won's character slept with So Ji Sub's character but she was in love with Jo In Sung's character. They were in Bali when she finally decided to be with Jo In Sung after sleeping with So Ji Sub. But broken-hearted Jo In Sung killed them both while they were still in bed thinking that they betrayed him. Ha Ji Won used her last breath to tell him that she loves him. Jo In Sung, realizing what he'd done, kills himself at the end. (based from what I remembered) 

For their reunion: Melodrama with comedic elements. And an ending that wouldn't scar me for life.

Park Min Young - Lee Min Ho (City Hunter OTP)



For their reunion: City Hunter part 2.

Kim Jung Eun - Lee Dong Gun (Lovers in Paris OTP)


Abs-Cbn is bringing this drama back to afternoon primetime so we get to relieved all the happy, sad, fun and 'kilig' moments again. This OTP is also not canon because she ended up with the main lead, or did she? I don't remember but the ending was that the whole series was a dream from her point of view? Or am i mistaken?....I just want Lee Dong Gun to finally get the girl!

For their reunion: Action - Romance drama. With a clear-cut ending that wouldn't ruin the series.

Lee Bo Young - Jo Seung Woo (God’s Gift OTP


This one seems a big stretch since God's Gift just ended 2 months ago, but I want Ajumma and Ajusshi back. They're my 2014 OTP even if they did not end up together, she was married and her main priority throughout the series was to save her daughter. And, he was dead ( ) at the end. Yup, a big ol' question mark because the series literally ended with that cliffhanger; was Jo Seung Woo's Ki Dong Chan dead or alive? Ugh!!!

For their reunion: Any genre, it could be a political thriller, historical revenge, romantic melodrama or another suspense mystery, I just want them together onscreen again before this year ends.

Because, seriously, they're freaking adorable:

Go Ara - Yoo Yeon Sook (Rely 1994 OTP)


I was a  Cider / Najung-Chilbong shipper when this drama aired and after it ended. While Cider wasn't canon (Nareki was), I still shipped them and it was really heart-breaking when they didn't end up together. So, I demand a reunion where they'll definitely end up together(or else!).

For their reunion: Romantic-comedy. With lots of skinships and hopefully no frustrating love triangle that would start an intense and exasperating fan war.

Jeon Ji Hyun - Cha Tae Hyun (My Sassy girl OTP)


For some unknown reason, someone wants to remake this gem of a movie. Oh right, there's a reason: a remake solely for greed of money. Because remaking a classic is such an easy thing to do and it would definitely guarantee a success, because it's a remake of a popular movie that raked in a ton of money. Right? Right? Wrong! We already had the awful 2008 American remake, we don't need another one. The plot of the movie is not the only reason that this became a hit. Jeon Ji Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun also made this movie a success and that should be the focus for a second go at continuing the MSG train. 

I'm still kind of bitter that Cha Tae Hyun didn't have a cameo in Jeon Ji Hyun's successful TV comeback series 'You From Another Star', a waste of such a big opportunity for more meta and more laughs. But, an OTP reunion can change all that.

For their reunion: ANYTHING!!!!!
