Best kisses, tension and/or skinship

Dramas that IMO had couples with great romantic chemistry and one or more of the following elements:

  • natural believable displays of affection
  • steamy kisses 
  • good tension between the leads 
  • more adult-like relationships (skinship)

These are not necessarily my favorite dramas plotwise, as you can see per my ratings, but they are ones where I specially (or at least) enjoyed the romantic interactions.

    I really believed in this couple, it was very natural to see them together.

    The cute-sexy angst was really top tier. 

    I won't lie though, the only thing that kept from giving it a 10 was the fact that the kisses were not coherent with the amount of tension the leads displayed in almost every scene. 

  • Fake It Till You Make It

    Realistic, not your usual chinese drama plot. Two mature adults getting into a relationship.

    The chemistry... the flirting... and that man...

    Even though the kisses were quite innocent and the plot was more on the "youthful" side of things, the main leads chemistry was simply one of the best.

    Once they got together, the main couple chemistry was super sweet and intense. I rewatched a couple of scenes and thought their interactions felt quite natural. They were believable as a couple for sure. Plus no deadfish kisses.
