00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most mesmerizing on-screen kisses in Korean TV shows that leave us feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
00:18Number 30, The Snowy Kiss, 25-21
00:30This climactic kiss happens after days of push and pull, and is charged with repressed feelings and overwhelming longing.
00:39Heedo has desperate tears running down her cheeks in fear of losing Yujin while he plays the part of a responsible adult, yet neither can escape the gravity that pulls them together.
00:48Rationally, he knows better than to lead her on, but the heart wants what it wants, a kiss in the snow.
00:54So, despite leaving her stranded for a minute or two, he rushes back, flips the cap hiding her tears, and brings her in for a kiss.
01:12Number 29, The Kitchen Kiss, I'm Not a Robot
01:15The only thing cooking here was a sizzling serving of chemistry. After all, the kitchen is where the magic happens, at least for Mingyu and Jia.
01:23She's making some gimbap for him, which triggers a wholesome memory, and he realizes just how fateful their connection is.
01:40The only way to celebrate it, therefore, is to share a kiss. Before she can even take off her kitchen gloves, he pulls her in for a smooch so divine you won't be able to stop replaying it.
01:53If you think their on-screen chemistry is killer, wait till you see the behind-the-scenes take.
02:06Number 28, The Puppy Love Kiss, A Good Day to Be a Dog
02:09In this show, curses are broken with a true love's second kiss. Hena is doomed to turn into a doggo every night if she ever kisses someone.
02:18The only way to reverse the hex is to kiss the same person but in dog form.
02:24When Hena accidentally kisses Sowon, her prickly colleague who has a phobia of dogs, getting a second turn at his lips becomes doubly difficult.
02:37Little did Sowon expect that love would make him willing to peck a pup.
02:54When he finally musters up the courage to do so and Hena turns human, she humbly requests a thousand more kisses.
03:03We get it, girl. The sequence that ensues, complete with push and pulls, smiles and blushes, is truly like a fairy tale.
03:10Number 27, The Handcuffed Kiss, W
03:24This K-drama is set in a world, or shall we say two worlds, see what we did there, where any moment can be goodbye.
03:33You can imagine our male lead's despair when our female lead tells him I love you but disappears a second later.
03:39But lo and behold, she's back and there's no way he won't take this chance to kiss her, even if she is handcuffed.
03:45So he picks her up, brings her up to eye level and she throws her cuffed arms around his neck as they kiss.
03:51The best part is the way they smile at each other afterwards.
04:05Number 26, The Door Kiss, Coffee Prince
04:09Our main couple, Hangyeol and Eunchan, go through every possible rom-com trope before they get their happily ever after.
04:15First, they have to deal with their individual love triangles.
04:18Then, Hangyeol has to question his sexuality because Eunchan misleads him into thinking she's a guy.
04:23Finally, he has to come to terms with the lie so they can be together.
04:26Naturally, when they get to the third stage, they find it impossible to keep their hands off of each other.
04:39In this scene, Eunchan runs all the way to Hangyeol's house because she misses him.
04:44Once there, they have a stare-off, as if to express that neither wants to hold back.
04:49When boundaries have been telepathically confirmed, he picks her up and kisses her against the door.
04:55You see, his character Dushik has a superpower.
04:57He can fly.
04:58The downside is that he starts floating whenever he's excited.
05:02So when he finally kisses Miyeon, played by Hangyeol Joo, for the first time,
05:06he is no longer a shy guy.
05:08He's a guy who can fly.
05:10He's a guy who can fly.
05:12He's a guy who can fly.
05:14He's a guy who can fly.
05:16He's a guy who can fly.
05:18He's a guy who can fly.
05:20He's a guy who can fly.
05:22He's a guy who can fly.
05:24When he kisses Miyeon, played by Hangyeol Joo, for the first time,
05:26you bet he was floating mid-air, with his lips still on hers.
05:44Now that ought to make someone feel special.
05:46Funnily enough, he passed this trait on to their son,
05:49who also starts levitating when his crush is around.
05:543.14155...
05:563.14155...
05:583!
06:03This majestic lip lock embodies the truest essence of the title of the K-drama.
06:07Our king, Lee Hwi,
06:08Dami to our closest,
06:10has decided that all bets are off when it comes to her relationship with Jihoon.
06:13Stop fooling around, your highness.
06:18Fooling around?
06:21I'm not.
06:22She's risking her very life for their romance,
06:24and has absolutely no regrets.
06:26So, when Jihoon gets jealous of her queen, Hakyeon,
06:29trying to steal a kiss from Dami,
06:31she does what she knows will placate him best.
06:33I'll handle it.
06:35This feeling.
06:37After meeting at their hideaway,
06:39she makes her feelings clear as day
06:41before leaning in to plant a kiss on his lips.
06:43Jihoon takes the lead from there and pulls her into his arms.
06:46While she rests on his lap,
06:48he shows her just how much he loves her.
06:5023. Kissing Exes, Our Beloved Summer
06:53This is your favorite couple's favorite couple.
06:55Choi Woosik and Kim Dami play exes here,
06:57but their kiss in this scene has a chokehold on us like no other.
07:01So now that we're done with the kiss,
07:03it's time to move on to the next scene.
07:06Should I pass by or stay here?
07:14Should I pass by or stay here?
07:16Lit by the golden sunset, soaked in the rain,
07:19they kiss as if in a trance,
07:21like that's all they've wanted to do since they met again.
07:24Throwing caution and denial to the wind,
07:26they give into each other in the moment.
07:28As a bonus, we get a dreamy montage
07:30of all the kisses from their relationship,
07:32and BTS' V's golden voice offers the perfect soundtrack.
07:47It just doesn't get any more romantic than this.
07:5022. The Unconditional Kiss, My Dearest
08:02I've never kissed anyone other than you.
08:09More than the actual kiss,
08:10the context behind the scene makes it so memorable.
08:13This is the very first time in the series
08:15that our female lead kisses the male lead back.
08:18It has taken them 17 episodes of war,
08:20anguish, separation, and torture to get there,
08:23and when they do, of course, the kiss is heavenly.
08:26After all, he has just assured her that he'll love her unconditionally.
08:30I'm going to be by your side now.
08:37Even if you push me away, I'll be here.
08:41Even if you're jealous of me.
08:44Nam Goon-min pours his soul into this kiss,
08:46and Ahn Eun-jin looks ethereal even with tears in her eyes.
08:50The moment their lips meet,
08:51you might find yourself letting out a breath
08:53you didn't even know you were holding.
09:01Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
09:0721. The Friends to Lovers Kiss, Fight for My Way
09:11This show was the K-drama awakening of countless fans.
09:14And this kiss? Simply iconic.
09:16Kim Ji-won and Park Seo-joon are childhood friends in the show,
09:19and she's trying to remind him of his place,
09:22clearly far below her.
09:23below her.
09:24Yet all her feisty confidence leaves the chat when he pulls her in by the waist and shows
09:39her how he really feels with a kiss.
09:41As she turns away to catch her breath, he's more smug than she can handle.
09:45Oh, how the tables have turned.
09:5420.
09:55The Lantern Kiss, Alchemy of Souls Heated arguments diffused by even hotter kisses.
10:01We stan.
10:19Our leads, played by Lee Jae-wook and Go Yoon-jung, give us the most ardent will-they-won't-they
10:24in this scene.
10:25Meanwhile, the tension between them keeps getting more and more palpable.
10:28Then she flips the switch.
10:37Once the metaphorical lantern is turned off, he knows he can express his feelings just
10:41as they are.
10:42She leads and he follows.
10:44The result is the most passionate kiss, the kind that's only possible with soulmates.
10:49With their chemistry, these two need to be cast in another romance together.
10:5719.
11:02The Can't-Get-Enough Kiss, Suspicious Partner The sense of urgency in this scene is what
11:06makes it stand out.
11:08Our leads, Ji Chang-wook and Nam Ji-hyun, are gorgeously backlit by a warm glow as they
11:12shed their inhibitions and kiss.
11:14And kiss they do like there's no tomorrow.
11:27It's so intense that you almost want to look away and give the two some privacy.
11:31But at the same time, you know you can't miss out.
11:33This scene proves why Ji Chang-wook is called one of the best kissers in the K-drama world,
11:38always leaving fans wanting more.
11:4418.
11:49The Couch Kiss, Love in Contract This K-drama was a refreshing take on the
11:53tried-and-true contract marriage trope.
11:56Ko Kyung-po and Park Mi-yeon portray a mature relationship that takes time and effort to
12:00bloom.
12:02so she takes the lead.
12:16When it comes to a kiss, he's the one making the first move.
12:19And quite boldly, we might add.
12:21Which is what makes his character all the more charming.
12:37In this scene, play-fighting on the couch turns into the most romantic kiss that will
12:41call you single in a hundred different languages.
12:44Nevertheless, we are obsessed.
12:4717.
12:48The Domestic Bliss Kiss, Something in the Rain
12:51Moments where our leads unburden themselves of society's expectations and revel in each
12:56other's embrace are few and far between in this K-drama.
12:59You see, Jin-ha is Chun-hee's elder sister's best friend.
13:02As exciting as a nuna romance is on our screens, the prejudice the couple has to face in the
13:06story is heartbreaking.
13:08That is exactly what makes this kiss so special.
13:24Jin-ha and Chun-hee unplug from the noise that surrounds their relationship, pushing
13:28guilt aside to be honest with their feelings.
13:31They let their guards down and are playful with each other, consciously ignoring the
13:34dark reality looming over them.
13:36They clearly wish it lasted forever, and we do too.
13:5016.
13:52The Dreamy Kiss, Nevertheless
13:54Pop Jae-eon had such a chokehold on Yoona B's psyche that our girl was already dreaming
13:58about him by the second episode.
14:00Suffice it to say, it was no innocent dream by any means.
14:04Jae-eon shows up at her door and, without a word of explanation, pins her against the
14:08wall for a kiss.
14:09Maybe it's because this scene is a dream sequence, but the two go way farther than
14:22any ordinary K-drama would allow.
14:24That is, until a phone call interrupts her racy fantasy.
14:27No prizes for guessing who would come beckoning.
14:30She was the player of her dreams, of course.
14:3815.
14:39The Rain Kiss, Doom at Your Service
14:42There's no trope more classic and fictional romance than kissing in the rain.
14:46So, if you want to have a K-drama moment with your partner, make sure you never carry umbrellas
14:51with you when you're out and about.
15:01That's exactly how Dong-young and Myeol-mang end up sharing a tender kiss while it's pouring.
15:05Even the wish-granting personification of literal doom isn't immune to sentimentality.
15:17Unfortunately for them, it ends on a tragic note.
15:28She had just asked him to love her a moment ago.
15:31However, before they could reflect on that wish or the meaning of the affirming kiss
15:34that came after it, he vanished into thin air.
15:3814.
15:39The Straddle Kiss, Bad and Crazy
15:41Two exes with unresolved feelings and pent-up pining, dangerously close to each other, all
15:46alone in a semi-dark room.
15:48One is wounded, and the other is dressing his wound, clearly concerned about the injury.
15:52What happens next is anyone's guess, but you are not ready for how breathtaking it is.
16:09The first time they kiss since breaking up is just to get it out of their systems.
16:13The second time they do it, with her straddling him on the chair, is pure romance.
16:17You just can't help but be in love with their love.
16:2913.
16:35The Kiss of Surrender
16:36What's wrong with Secretary Kim?
16:38There's a lot to learn from Young-joon and Miso's relationship.
16:41One such lesson is about communication.
16:43Although it's unbeknownst to Miso for most of their romance, she and Young-joon are childhood
16:48sweethearts.
16:49They're also colleagues.
17:07For two people who grew up together and work with each other, engaging in adult activities
17:12might not come as smoothly as for others.
17:15So, like mature lovers, they talk about it.
17:17The problem is, right when Young-joon has made up his mind to put the brakes on his
17:21pacing, Miso is all set to speed up.
17:33Once he has the green light from her, he sweeps in with a passionate kiss.
17:37It quickly becomes very obvious that he had been waiting for that moment his entire life.
17:4112.
17:42The Reunion Kiss
17:43Crash Landing on You
17:45Crash Landing on You is the kind of drama where love triumphs over all.
17:49It moves worlds and transcends borders.
18:06When North Korean Army Captain Ri Jung-hyuk falls for South Korean heiress Yoo Se-ri,
18:11they are well aware they'd have to go to the ends of the world to be together.
18:14This scene takes it literally.
18:28The couple promised to find each other after separating, and the location they're hoping
18:32to reunite in is Switzerland, where they first met.
18:34After several trials and errors, they finally cross paths.
18:38In a full-circle moment, she sees him waiting as she lands after a round of paragliding.
18:43Her eyes sparkle with tears as she jumps into his arms and they share the sweetest kiss.
18:5611.
19:06The Gender Swap Kiss
19:07Mr. Queen
19:14This one has some pretty complicated layers to it, but one thing is certain.
19:18The chemistry is chemistry-ing.
19:20Shin-ae's son's character is a man who not only traveled back in time, his soul is
19:24stuck in a queen's body.
19:26A womanizer in his original timeline, he's in denial about his attraction to the king,
19:30played by Kim Jung-hyun.
19:37When his highness kisses his queen to evade the enemies, he, in her body, commits to the
19:41act.
19:42Little did he know, he would get too carried away.
19:44The fake kiss gets too real too fast, until he comes to his senses.
19:5610.
19:58The Boyfriend Shirt Kiss
19:59Destined With You
20:00K-pop idol-turned-actor Rowoon and Cho Bo-ah deliver the kind of kiss that leaves your
20:05breath hitched.
20:17He has just seen his girl in his shirt looking adorably tempting, and he just can't help
20:22himself.
20:23Honestly, who can blame him when Cho Bo-ah is that gorgeous?
20:25Besides, the two very conveniently turn the lights off by accident, leaving the scene
20:30dimly lit.
20:31Your replay button will be crying for help by the time you're done re-watching the scene,
20:35just to make sure you got every angle.
20:429.
20:45The Shower Kiss
20:46Melting Me Softly
20:47This kiss got so hot, our couple had to turn on the shower to cool themselves down.
20:52For a little backstory, they just woke up from being frozen for 20 years.
20:56A tiny side effect is that their body temperature cannot exceed 91 degrees Fahrenheit.
21:07With such a passionate kiss, there's no way their bodies are staying in the safe zone.
21:12But you best believe they'll finish what they started.
21:14The solution?
21:15Take a cold shower while kissing.
21:17The kiss might be to die for, but they've got to live longer for more.
21:298.
21:34The International Kiss
21:35Guardian ā The Lonely and Great God
21:38One of the best perks of being a goblin has to be the power of teleportation.
21:42We might as well call him Mr. Worldwide with how he transports from place to place with
21:45none of the hassle of flights.
21:55In this particular scene, Ji Eun-tak flies for 17 hours to get to South Korea from Quebec.
22:00She arrives, only for Kim Shin to teleport her back to where she came from.
22:16Now, that might make some people crash out, but luckily, Eun-tak is more than happy to
22:19return.
22:20Joined by Shin, satisfied to see her happy, he urgently places his lips on hers, leaving
22:25a trail of kisses up to her pretty eyes.
22:287.
22:29The Unforgettable Kiss ā Business Proposal
22:45This scene starts with a misunderstanding.
22:48Young-seo, played by Sol In-ah, forgot her first kiss with Kim Min-kyu's Sung-hoon.
22:51He took that personally, so he vows to give her a kiss she'll never forget.
22:59We don't know about her, but we are definitely never forgetting this one.
23:14The real highlight is the way he pauses for a split second to take his glasses off.
23:19This scene saw heights of virality never scaled before, and according to some fans, even outdid
23:24our main couple's kisses.
23:26That's a serious feat in the K-drama world.
23:336.
23:35The Birthday Kiss ā It's Okay to Not Be Okay
23:38Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji demonstrate a lesson on self-control gone very right in this legendary
23:43kissing scene.
23:44One moment, he's teaching her about restraint.
23:46The next, he can't hold himself back from diving into a kiss with her, especially not
23:50when she's looking at him with those doe eyes.
24:05While the kiss did calm her down, it left us with all the butterflies, the cherry on
24:10the sundae, his sweet sentiments afterwards.
24:21In case you needed a reminder, this man is unfortunately fictional.
24:265.
24:27The Tearful Kiss ā Mr. Plankton
24:29If you're going to watch this show, keep a box of tissues for the tears and a pillow
24:32to hide your face in when the butterflies attack.
24:35Together, Hye-jo and Choi Mi are a double-edged sword.
24:44They start off as bitter exes.
24:46When they reconnect, he's living with a terminal illness, and she just received a life-changing
24:51diagnosis.
24:52After a transformative road trip, Choi Mi is finally ready to confess her feelings,
24:56just when he's letting her go.
24:58Choi Mi waits for him in the rain, and after being stood up, waits some more at his old
25:02office.
25:03She's confident he'll come to her, which he does, proving they are indeed inseparable.
25:11Their emotions get too overwhelming, and this breathtaking tear-stained kiss happens, followed
25:16by sweet reminiscence.
25:174.
25:18The Long Overdue First Kiss ā Lovely Runner
25:21Imagine you lived half your life thinking your crush hated you.
25:25They tell you 15 years later, they actually liked you all along.
25:29You'd run just like Byeon-woo Seok does in this scene.
25:31He has simply waited long enough.
25:44Who could blame him for pinning her against the wall and kissing her like he's making
25:47up for lost time?
25:48Besides, the height difference just makes things even cuter.
25:51This is the type of kiss that makes you re-download that dating app or call the one that got away.
25:56Proceed at your own risk.
26:073.
26:08The Sprinkler Kiss ā King The Land
26:10Say it with us now, consent is sexy.
26:13This is the only kiss on this list where the male lead expressly asks for consent.
26:26Of course, that makes the romance quotient go through the roof.
26:28The kiss that follows leaves him shaking as he holds her close before going in for another
26:33one.
26:34They're also soaking wet from having activated the sprinklers, but they couldn't care less
26:37about their surroundings.
26:38All they can do is focus on each other.
26:41Needless to say, Lee Joon-ho and Yoona execute this kiss with sheer perfection.
26:502.
26:56The Makeup Kiss ā Queen of Tears
26:58Nothing compares to how deeply affecting, meaningful, and poignant this kiss is.
27:02For a moment, it made us all forget about the impending doom this couple had coming
27:06for them.
27:19From a terminal illness to a one-sided divorce, our leading characters, played by Kim Soo-hyun
27:24and Kim Ji-won, were in the eye of the storm.
27:27Still, with reckless abandon, they went in for the kiss.
27:30In the same spot, they had their honeymoon too.
27:32What's even more heart-rending is not that they realized they love each other, it's
27:36that they never stopped.
27:37Let's just say, they weren't the only ones in tears.

28:08The Imaginary Kiss ā When the Phone Rings
28:11Some of the best things in life are the fruit of an active imagination, like this kiss.
28:23Baek Se-eon, who works as the president's spokesperson, and Hee-joo, his wife, who,
28:35due to her circumstances, has been forced to pretend to be mute, cannot seem to catch
28:39a break.
28:40First, they enter into a contract marriage that she mistakenly thinks is devoid of affection
28:44and warmth.
28:45Then, they overcome their misunderstandings and fall in love.
28:48But a conspiracy spanning decades tears them apart.
28:51After being away from her husband for a bit too long, Hee-joo imagines this Christmas
28:55kissing sequence.
28:56With how wonderfully the scene is composed and how smoldering the kiss is, she should
29:00definitely consider a career as a fan fiction author.
29:10Which of these dizzying kisses is your dream scenario?
29:13Don't be shy.
29:14Let us know in the comments!
