00:00This year delivered some memorable kissing scenes in K-dramas, yet many viewers found
00:04certain steamy moments so disappointing that it ruined the whole show for them.
00:09One of the most disappointing dramas of the year is surely Wedding Impossible,
00:14and one of the reasons why viewers hated it is the kissing scenes.
00:17In this drama, John Jong-so plays the part of a struggling actress who gets fake married to a gay
00:22man. She's involved in a web of lies that becomes more complicated when she starts developing a
00:27relationship with her husband's brother played by Moon Sang-min. At the end of the 8th episode,
00:32the two are having a fight and Jong-so kisses Sang-min out of nowhere. She then confesses
00:37her feelings for him and they kiss again. This was supposed to be a very romantic and heated moment,
00:42but the two characters look so stiff that it makes the scene awkward rather than heartfelt.
00:47Additionally, the fact that the kisses are very light and short makes the whole scene even less
00:53believable. The way this scene is filmed doesn't help at all, as the kisses aren't even shown that
00:58well, which distracts viewers from the moment. The final episode featured another kiss between them,
01:03which was just as underwhelming with one short peck followed by another kiss that looked too stiff.
01:08Many viewers were left disappointed by these awful kissing scenes, with some commenting that this just
01:13adds to the many problems of the series saying, bad acting, bad story, bad chemistry, bad kiss. In the end,
01:19the drama got a lot of bad reviews, with many pointing out that one of the most disappointing
01:24aspects of the series is the lack of chemistry between the main characters, with the bad kissing
01:29scenes being clear evidence of this. The Impossible Air also got a ton of bad reviews and was criticized
01:34for its story, filled with cliches, the lack of character development, the weird editing, and the awful
01:39performance of some of the actors. The series has a lot of disappointing aspects, and one of the most
01:44controversial moments of this drama was a kissing scene. In the sixth episode, the female lead,
01:49played by Hong Soo-Zoo, is about to marry Lee Jun-Yong's character. However, the day before the ceremony,
01:55the male lead, played by Lee Jae-Wook, confesses his feelings for her, and the two share a kiss.
02:00Jae-Wook initially kisses her by force, and Soo-Zoo pushes him away, but then she approaches him,
02:05and they share a more passionate moment. The fact that Jae-Wook's character kissed his best friend's
02:09future wife just before their wedding angered and frustrated a ton of viewers. Many pointed out
02:14that not only did it not make sense for the story, but it also displayed very toxic behavior. The bad
02:21acting of Soo-Zoo surely didn't make things better, as she looked very unnatural, and the way she cried
02:26during the kissing scene wasn't believable at all. The lack of chemistry between the two leads during
02:31the kiss was another nail in the coffin for this drama, which is without a doubt one of the worst
02:36series of the year. A drama that got a lot of divided opinions this year is Doctor Slump. Many
02:42viewers love the romance between the main characters, played by Park Hyun-Shik and Park Shin-Hye, but the
02:46series also got a lot of criticism. Even before the first episode aired, some fans were worried about
02:52potential kissing scenes, as Shin-Hye has often been named among the worst kissers in the world of K-dramas.
02:58In fact, she has been mocked by fans for years for the way she widens her eyes and has a
03:03frozen
03:04expression during kissing scenes. In Doctor Slump, she had the opportunity to show that she had improved
03:10and to shake off her bad reputation. The first kiss between the main characters happens in episode 10,
03:16and the viewers loved it so much they called it Shin-Hye's best kiss ever. However, this doesn't mean
03:21it was necessarily good, and not everyone was convinced by her performance. In fact, the way she
03:26closes her eyes and looks stiff while Hyun-Sik touches her lips reminds the viewers of many other of Shin
03:33-Hye's
03:33bad kisses from the past. Instead, many netizens praised Hyun-Shik, saying that he was the reason the
03:38scene was good enough for the drama. In the end, a lot of people were disappointed by the lack of
03:43chemistry between the leading actors, and many argued that this is the biggest issue that prevented the
03:48series from being a success. Another series that has generated a lot of debate because of some
03:53controversial kissing scenes is the BL drama Jazz for Two. This series actually got a lot of praise for its
03:59slow-burning romance and careful character development, with many praising the performance
04:04and chemistry of the leading actors Ji Ho Goom and Kim Jin Kwon. The drama also got a lot of
04:10attention
04:11for featuring a romance between two supporting characters, one of which is played by Hongyeom from
04:16the K-pop boy group Omega X. Many fans of the group were looking forward to seeing some steamy kissing
04:22scenes
04:23featuring Hongyeom and his partner, played by Kim Jong-Ha, but instead, they were left very disappointed.
04:28On one occasion, they approach each other for a kiss, but the scene cuts and then only shows them
04:33blurred out, making it hard to see if they even kissed for real. Something similar happens in another
04:38scene in which the couple share an umbrella under the rain. They suddenly stop, and after looking at
04:43each other intensely, they get closer for a kiss. However, as they slowly approach each other,
04:48the umbrella moves in front of them, and the kiss isn't shown at all once again. These scenes annoyed
04:54a lot of viewers, with one netizen pointing out that if idols aren't comfortable with kissing scenes
04:59in BL dramas, they shouldn't even audition for them. After this post went viral, other people online
05:04expressed their opinions on the matter, with many agreeing. It was also noted that there's nothing
05:09wrong with this kind of scene, pointing to various passionate kisses between male actors. Some instead
05:14argued that BL dramas don't even need kissing scenes to be effective, so actors who
05:18aren't comfortable with this can just avoid doing them. Other netizens defended Hangyeom,
05:22saying that it wasn't his fault if the production company chose not to show the kisses. Hangyeom later
05:27commented on this, saying that he was quite worried about the kissing scene before filming it. He also
05:32revealed that there was a real peck in the scene, and even though it was light, the emotions were very
05:37high. He also praised Jangha for being a good kisser, showing that the actors weren't the ones at fault for
05:43the drama's lack of kissing scenes. The most discussed and disappointing kissing scene of this
05:48year happened in Love Next Door. This drama follows the love story between the architect Choi Sung Hyo,
05:53played by Jung Hae-in, and his childhood friend Baesok Ryu, played by Jung Seo-min. The presence of two
05:59popular actors and the idea of seeing them together in romantic and even spicy moments generated a lot of
06:05hype before the drama's release. However, as the series went on, viewers grew more and more frustrated with the
06:11development of the story. Things got even worse when the 12th episode aired, and a particular moment
06:16got a ton of backlash from netizens. During this episode, the main characters went on a date and
06:22watched a movie together, but they were quite awkward with each other. Seok Ryu was disappointed after
06:27the date, feeling that Sung Hyo wasn't paying enough attention to her. Later, she became jealous after
06:33seeing him with his ex-girlfriend, so they ended up arguing. After meeting again, the couple tries to
06:38reconcile at Seok Ryu's house, which was empty. This is where the most awkward moment begins as
06:44Sung Hyo expresses his discomfort with being in a room alone with Seok Ryu, saying that he shouldn't
06:51be there. He then goes on to say, I'm having bad thoughts, thoughts that I shouldn't be thinking,
06:55cheap and crude thoughts, unhealthy thoughts. Seok Ryu responds by saying that it's okay to have bad
07:01thoughts in a situation like that, adding, I used to like unhealthy junk food. This then leads to a
07:07passionate kiss between the two, which progresses to an even more intimate moment as the couple moves
07:12to the bed. This scene was supposed to mark a major shift in the relationship between the main characters
07:17as they begin to move from a more shallow love to a more serious one. However, the cringe-worthy lines
07:24just before the kiss ruined the entire scene, and many viewers were left disappointed. Some netizens
07:31commented that the scene felt like it came out of a drama from 20 years ago, with how old-fashioned
07:36the
07:36dialogue was, just after the episode aired, Heian appeared on a TV show to promote his upcoming movie
07:42and talked about this controversial moment. However, instead of addressing the criticism,
07:47or even acknowledging that there was any backlash, he talked about the scene with a lot of pride. He
07:52argued that the only issue is that viewers didn't expect something like this, saying, it's been a while
07:58since I've done something sweet. It appeared later in the series, so viewers may have been anxious about it.
08:03He then promised that he would appear in more similar scenes from now on. Meanwhile,
08:07a behind-the-scenes video of the series also revealed that filming this scene caused some
08:12awkwardness between Heian and So Min. In the first take, they ended up falling on the bed,
08:16and they both laughed about it. The second take didn't go much better, as So Min couldn't help but
08:21laugh. After filming the scene once again, they were finally happy with how things turned out,
08:26and they gave each other a high-five. Many netizens commented on how So Min looked very flustered while
08:32filming this scene, which adds yet another layer to the overall awkwardness of this moment.
