KOKTV (King Of Korean-drama) by WHYNOT Media have become pioneers within the web drama space. They've created countless hits like "Best Mistake", "Be My Boyfriend", and "One Fine Week". Just before 2023 ended, they released another captivating series titled "Snap And Spark". KOKTV's newest web drama features woo!ah!'s WooYeon, VERIVERY's KangMin, ICHILLIN's E.Ji, GHOST9's Lee JinWoo, Jeon GeonHu, Seo SooHee, and so much more.

The web drama enters a universe where social media popularity rules the world and the number of hearts you receive online determine your worth. The high-teen series dives into the lives of students at Han Arts High School who each tackle various struggles, and follows them in their journey of self-discovery and pursuit of love.

"Snap And Spark" have captured the hearts of thousands worldwide and fans cannot get enough of it. With romance being one of the main proponents of the show, there are various butterfly-inducing scenes that have made viewers blush in the deepest hues of pinks and reds.

Check out these heart-warming scenes down below!

Note: this article contains spoilers.

 

1. A Sudden Hand Hold

In the first episode, there's already a bit of romantic tension found between Moon YeJi (WooYeon) and Cha SooBin (Jeon GeonHu). Accompanied by their friend Seo JooHyuk (Lee JinWoo), the two are seen at a neighborhood playground, filming an Instagram Reels.

YeJi innocently touches the back of SooBin's hand three times, but does not receive an immediate reaction. Suddenly, SooBin reaches out and grabs hold of YeJi's hand, causing her to become flustered from the sudden skinship. Viewers at home were certainly squealing from excitement watching the high school romance unfold.

 

2. SooBin And DaEun's Piano Practice

In a turn of events, Kim DaEun (Seo SooHee) and Cha SooBin have decided to pair up for the upcoming school festival. Being model students, they excel in everything from studying to playing piano. And it seems that they also excel in creating scenes of pure romantic bliss.

While practicing their performance, their arms overlap as their fingers dance across the keys. Through this, they give off the aura of a budding spring romance just waiting to blossom. If you weren't rooting for them before, this scene will make a good case to change your mind!

 

3. SeonJae Wakes Up To YeJi's Humming

In an act of retaliation towards SooBin's actions, YeJi recruits Joo SeonJae as her partner for the school festival. Although they do start off at odds with one another, they develop a sense of comradery. This leads to a night spent planning for their upcoming performance, which results in both of them falling asleep at different times.

When SeonJae wakes up, he is greeted by YeJi's soft, yet sweet humming. It's almost as if he enters a trance and the strings of a love line start to form right in front of our eyes. The potential for romance is there, and now it's up to both YeJi and SeonJae to grab hold of it.

 

4. Heart-Fluttering Recording Session

After a few events, SeonJae and YeJi get down to business and start seriously working on an original track for the festival. SeonJae gets into the role of strict producer and YeJi becomes the hard-working vocalist.

As they get into their recording session, all sound fades away and SeonJae enters into a world where only the two of them exists. You can almost hear the rust on the locks to his heart start to creak open and the chance of falling in love become greater by the second.

Have you been enjoying "Snap And Spark" so far? Which butterfly-inducing scene do you like the most?

Is your drama watchlist ready for December? If not, don't worry. We are here to help you make your selection for the new month.

In our previous list, we recommended K-Dramas starting in December (here). Let's have a look at the web dramas streaming this month.

Here is a selection of 3 web dramas streaming in December not to forget to watch. (This list only includes web dramas).

 

1. "My Man Is Cupid"

When: From December 1

Cast: Jang DongYoon, NaNa, Park KiWoong, and more.

Genre: Fantasy, Romance

Summary: A drama with an undetermined schedule, where the story unfolds as a fairy, using cupid arrows to connect love, accidentally hits herself with one of her own arrows. This leads to a tangled narrative involving a woman, creating a unique tale of love.

Why look forward to it?: The fact that the direction of love's arrow is misguided already makes for a plot-twist-like story filled with anticipation. Many fans are also anticipating this drama due to its unexpected but pleasantly surprising casting. The main actors are a combination that is fresh and fans are curious what the chemistry between the cast will be like.

 

2. "Death's Game"

When: From December 15

Cast: Seo InGuk, Park SoDam, Go YounJung, Kim JiHun, Nam KyungEup, Kim KangHoon, Kim JaeUck, Super Junior's SiWon, Oh JungSe, Jang SeungJo, Lee JaeWook, Sung Hoon, Yoo InSoo, Lee DoHyun, and more.

Genre: Thriller, Fantasy, Drama

Summary: A life-transfer drama where Lee Jae, just before falling into hell, experiences 12 deaths and lives.

Why look forward to it?: It's a story about the cruel judgment that awaits after death begins - which is definitely a tagline that we haven't seen in K-Dramas as of yet. Not only does it promise to yield a thought-provoking and fresh storyline, but the drama already promises an adventurous viewing experience. Based on a webtoon with a similar title directly translatable to 'I Will Now Die Soon', the drama makes a spin on the webtoon name but centers the title around the main character's name (Lee Jae), turning the title into the direct translation 'Lee Jae Will Die Soon'. This already shows how the drama will give a unique spin to the existing story in the original webtoon.

 

3. "Snap and Spark"

When: From December (TBA)

Cast: woo!ah!'s WooYeon, VERIVERY's KangMin, Seo SooHee, ICHILLIN's E.Ji, GHOST9's Lee JinWoo, Jeon GeonHu, and more.

Genre: Romance, Youth

Summary: "If You Just Snap Your Fingers" is a high-teen drama that portrays the frustrations of students at the Korea Arts High School who want to experience pink love in a world where popularity turns into hierarchy, and not receiving hearts makes you a loser. Centered around students, the drama promises to unfold unfamiliar yet bold and diverse stories about their social status, desires, love, and growth in this challenging world.

Why look forward to it?: Not only will this web drama provide some much-needed social commentary and discourse, but it will also show a relatable story that many young people are dealing with today as they seek approval from society. The star-studded idol cast in this romantic youth drama also promises some great visual chemistry!
