Here, it was revealed that Song Seung Hoon considered Kim Hee-seo as the most beautiful actress he has ever seen. As Lee Si Eon sat down next to the host, Kim Hee-seon, Lee Si Eon said that he is currently starring in the drama "The Player 2" with Song Seungheon. He said, "While we were filming, I asked Song Seungheon, 'You've worked with many actresses up to now. Who do you think is the most beautiful?' And he immediately said it was you, Hee-seon." Surprised, Kim Hee-seon replied, "Really? That's very strange. I never expected Seungheon to say such a thing about me. We have known each other since middle school. We've pretty much grown up together. His middle school was right next to mine."

K-dramas to watch in fall for a cozy and lovely evening

 

Let's take a look at some of the best K-dramas across various genres to binge watch this upcoming fall.

 

Red and yellow ginkgo and maple leaves, soft sweaters, and the enticing aroma of spiced lattes and roasted sweet potatoes—autumn is truly magical and warm. With a slight crispness in the air and leaves showcasing their vibrant hues, the season announces itself in many delightful ways. 

 

Often referred to as the "second spring," autumn is a time of endings and new beginnings. Beyond the scenic foliage, bald cypress trees, and cozy comforts, there are many K-dramas that capture the essence of autumn with their bittersweet, coming-of-age, and slice-of-life narratives. To embrace the season, here is a list of 5 K-dramas to cozy up with this fall.

 

 

5. Autumn in My Heart

Yoon Eun Suh (Song Hye Kyo) and Yoon Joon Suh (Song Seung Heon) grew up together until their teenage years, only to face a life-altering revelation: Eun Suh is not the biological daughter of the Yoon family, but rather Shin Ae (Han Chae Young) is. The two girls return to their biological families, unaware that fate has more in store for them. Years later, Joon Suh, now a successful artist, returns to Korea from the United States. 

 

He reconnects with Eun Suh through his friend Tae Seok (Won Bin), who is also in love with Eun Suh, adding a new layer of complexity to their intertwined lives. Joon Suh and Eun Suh find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other and fall deeply in love. However, as the complexities of their intertwined past and present begin to unravel, they face new challenges, particularly from a jealous Shin Ae. Life throws yet another curveball at the star-crossed lovers, complicating their path to happiness.

 

Autumn in My Heart is a classic, brought vividly to life by the stirring performances of Song Hye Kyo and Song Seung Heon, who effectively convey the deep sadness, melancholy, and pain of their characters. Song Hye Kyo's portrayal of Eun Suh is particularly captivating, and her iconic long skirts and cowl-neck sweaters made a lasting fashion statement, inspiring fans to emulate her style from the drama.
