Throughout the week, there's an influx of captivating K-Dramas that push us to the edge of our seats, wanting for more. Covering a variety of genres, every series has something special that draws audiences in and helps us to temporarily forget about reality. These adventures in drama-land are therapeutic and often become the perfect serotonin boost throughout our day. Weekend drama "The Real Has Come!" does just that and so much more.
The KBS show stars Baek JinHee, Ahn JaeHyun, Cha JooYoung, and Jung EuiJae. It depicts the story of Oh YeonDoo (Baek JinHee) and Gong TaeKyung (Ahn JaeHyun) as they come together to form a fake, contractual marriage. They go on with this ruse in order to happily live out their own lives, without family interference. Although their relationship starts off rocky, as the series progresses, we witness a multitude of heartwarming scenes that remains wedged in our hearts.
The series is far from over, but there are already so many moments that make us squeal in excitement. Here are some heart-fluttering scenes from the drama so far.
1. Skating At The Ice Rink
At the very beginning of their relationship, neither of the two were exactly fond of one another. While they kept their hearts well-guarded, with towering walls that reached towards the sky, one trip to the skating rink allowed the doors of romance to nudge open just an inch.
The way Oh YeonDoo leads Gong TaeKyung along gets your heart racing. Then, the concern they show each other after a fall makes you hope that their love will blossom sooner rather than later.
2. Gong TaeKyung Stands Up For Oh YeonDoo
There's nothing more sexy than a man standing up for a woman and protecting her dignity. Oh YeonDoo runs into one of her old coworkers who berates her and the fact that she has a child.
Thankfully, before our blood could boil any further, Gong TaeKyung swoops in and stands up for his YeonDoo. TaeKyung is charismatic and firm, showing YeonDoo's old co-worker that he's not someone who should be messed with. It invokes a sense of pride toward the main lead and hope for TaeKyung's future character development.
3. Oh DongWook Protects Gong YooMyeong
Like most dramas, the two main characters are not the only couple in the series. There's hints of a potential love line between Oh DongWook (Choi YoonJe) and Gong YooMyeong (Lee YeHyun).
Although they have conflicting personalities, that doesn't stop DongWook from rushing to YooMyeong's protection when a flying basketball is heading their way. He brings her into a tight embrace, ensuring no harm comes her way. Although the basketball completely misses them, the scene is an insanely cute, aww-worthy moment. It'll be interesting to see how their relationship progresses and if there will be more moments like this in the future.
4. Morning Couples Yoga
Although Oh YeonDoo and Gong TaeKyung haven't entirely fallen for one another, we've seen the sparks of romance begin to fly on various occasions. We witness this once more through their couples yoga class, where they have to get close and personal.
As they perform the poses, you cannot help but feel your face grow hot in excitement and a warmth spread throughout your body. Their awkwardness is heartwarming, especially TaeKyung as he tries to suppress his innermost feelings.
5. Hugging In The Photobooth
After an afternoon of gaming at the arcade, Gong TaeKyung and Oh YeonDoo end up taking photos together in the photobooth. They make lovely poses as if they're an actual couple. Then, while thinking of their next pose, YeonDoo trips backwards and TaeKyung ends up catching her in his arms.
They end up in a brief, spontaneous embrace that will have you smiling from ear to ear. The moment is endearing and will have you cheering at your screen for more butterfly-inducing moments like this.
