I know what you’re thinking. “That can’t be right.” But it is. Despite being one of Korea’s most-loved couples, Lee Jong Suk and IU have never starred in a K-drama together. Not even a special episode. Not even a cameo.
And it’s driving fans absolutely wild.
From MCs to Lovers, But Still No Co-Stars?
Their story started in 2012 on Inkigayo, where IU dressed him as Peter Pan, and Lee Jong Suk… wasn’t exactly thrilled. Classic awkward coworkers-to-besties setup. Over the years, their friendship grew stronger, and in 2022, boom, Dispatch revealed their relationship.
That’s a full-blown “friends to lovers” arc right there. K-drama producers, are you taking notes?
We’ve Seen the Chemistry, Just Not On-Screen
IU has lit up the screen in Hotel Del Luna and My Mister. Lee Jong Suk? He’s your go-to guy for tortured geniuses in W, While You Were Sleeping, and Romance Is a Bonus Book.
The emotional range? Impeccable. The visuals? Unmatched.
So why are we still waiting for someone to put them in a drama together?
Lee Jong Suk’s Upcoming Show, But Still No IU
In case you missed it, Lee Jong Suk’s upcoming show is Law and the City. Sounds like a solid hit, but guess who’s not in it? Yep. IU.
She’s busy with music and film projects, but fans are still holding out hope. Imagine the power if they finally share the screen.
Give Us the Drama We Deserve
We’re not asking for much. Just a 16-episode masterpiece. Maybe they’re childhood besties who fall in love? Or rivals at a publishing house who secretly adore each other? Bonus points if IU sings the OST.
They already have real-life couple energy. Just give them a script and a soft lighting filter, and we’re golden.
Let’s Make Some Noise
If you’ve ever wanted to see IU and Lee Jong Suk in a drama together, now’s the time to manifest it.
