Celebrate Lee Jong-suk's return with his beloved K-dramas
'While You Were Sleeping'
In one of the most beloved fantasy romance K-dramas, Lee Jong-suk stars as a prosecutor who shares precognitive dreams—and a love triangle—with Bae Suzy and Jung Hae-in. Together, they work to solve cases and prevent their tragic premonitions from coming true.
Audiences were drawn to the chemistry among the three leads, particularly the romance between Lee Jong-suk and Bae Suzy. The OST, featuring a line-up of memorable tracks, is also widely loved by fans of the drama.

In another fantasy romance K-drama, Lee Jong-suk plays Kang Chul, a webtoon character who crosses over to the real world and falls for Oh Yeon-joo (Han Hyo-joo). Audiences were intrigued by the unique premise, but what truly made the series unforgettable was the electric chemistry between Lee Jong-suk and Han Hyo-joo. To this day, the kiss they share in the drama ranks among the most iconic kisses in K-drama. 'Pinocchio'
In Pinocchio , Lee Jong-suk and Park Shin-hye are Choi Dal-po and Choi In-ha, two reporters who must navigate their complicated romance while confronting the dangers of sensational reporting and upholding the responsibility to stand for the truth. It is a tall order, especially for Dal-po, who has a score to settle against the media.
Once again showing a talent for creating palpable chemistry with his co-stars, Lee Jong-suk and Park Shin-hye deliver a believable romance. However, it is the drama's thoughtful exploration of societal issues that had audiences hooked. 'Romance Is a Bonus Book'
Lee Jong-suk stars opposite his 'ideal girl', Lee Na-young, in this noona romance about second chances—in both love and career. The K-drama follows Kang Dan-i's (Lee Na-young) attempts to return to the workforce after her divorce, and the unexpected romance with her childhood friend Cha Eun-ho (Lee Jong-suk), who has secretly been in love with her for as long as he can remember.
Fans found Dan-i's post-divorce journey relatable and her romance with Eun-ho tender and endearing. They especially loved the unrequited friends-to-lovers trope and swooned over Eun-ho's patient, steadfast devotion to Dan-i.

In his first K-drama after returning from mandatory military service, Lee Jong-suk plays Park Chang-ho, a well-meaning but naive lawyer who is forced to take on the identity of Big Mouse, a dangerous criminal mastermind, after he is framed for a crime. Although the drama's convoluted plot and lacklustre ending left much to be desired, Lee Jong-suk's transformation from Chang-ho to Big Mouse impressed audiences, as did his choice to take on a role far different from his usual romantic leads. 'I Can Hear Your Voice'
In Lee Jong-suk's breakout role, he stars opposite Hallyu royalty Lee Bo-young. He plays Park Soo-ha, a young man with telepathic powers and a past that ties him to Lee Bo-young's Jang Hye-sung. Fans were captivated by Lee Jong-suk's portrayal of the protective, heroic Soo-ha and fully embraced the noona romance he shared with Lee Bo-young, particularly praising the pair's undeniable chemistry.
