K-dramas are widely known for their captivating storylines, swoonworthy romances, and heart-fluttering kisses. The much-anticipated first kiss between Park Hyung-Sik and Park Shin-Hye in the hit drama Doctor Slump finally arrived in episode 10, which aired on February 25. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this moment since the drama premiered on January 27, with new episodes dropping on Netflix every Saturday and Sunday.
Park Hyung-Sik is known for his adorable on-screen chemistry with Park Bo-Young in the popular K-drama Strong Girl Bong-Soon (2017). Their undeniable connection has left a lasting impression on audiences, and even after eight years, fans are still eager to see Park Hyung-Sik share the screen with another leading actress. This is likely why there was significant anticipation for his kissing scene with Park Shin-Hye in their new drama.
On the other hand, Park Shin-Hye, who has captivated audiences with her roles in various K-dramas, once again is ruling hearts this year. While she's known for her exceptional acting and undeniable charm, her approach to intimate scenes has always been a strong discussion among fans throughout these years. Compared to other actors, her on-screen kisses tend to be less intense. This has led to some fans being particularly enthusiastic about her recent intimate scene with Park Hyung-Sik in Doctor Slump.
Yesterday on episode 10, finally fans got to watch the swoon worthy kissing scene between Park Hyung-Sik and Park Shin-Hye, and it has sparked a fan frenzy. While one Instagram user commented, “First kiss scene I’ve seen her NOT looking terrified”, another user pointed out Shin-Hye’s real marriage with Choi Tae-Joon, and wrote, “Marriage has done our girl good…cos the kiss has upgraded.”
The inclusion of the passionate kissing scene appears to have propelled Doctor Slump to the forefront of Google's Most Searched Romance Shows on Streaming Platforms. This recent surge in interest has enabled it to surpass the previous leader, My Demon (2024), starring Song Kang, which had held the top spot until now. It seems that the addition of this romantic element has significantly boosted the popularity of Doctor Slump, captivating audiences and sparking widespread curiosity among viewers.
Doctor Slump’s next episodes - 11 and 12 will be dropped soon on March 2 and March 3 on Netflix, respectively.
