Ryeoun and Shin Ye Eun caught the viewers’ hearts with their flourishing romance in the drama, while Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Sung Kyung showed consistency and a deeper level of love in the third season of the medical drama. Meanwhile, the DoWon couple from Netflix’s My Demon captivated fans with a contract marriage story that later turned into love. Who do you think should bag the Best Couple Award? Share them with us in the comments below.

- Will it be the third year for Hyo Seop to win this award, or will it be a year for him and Yoo Jung to get the same award with different partners? Or will we see a new couple receiving the trophy? There are many possibilities, and we are beyond excited to know what will happen next, just like an ongoing K-drama.
Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung’s chemistry in My Demon has been a massive factor in fans voting for them. As of this writing, the pair is in the lead among the nominees once you visit the voting page. Honestly, among these three, the DoWon couple is also our choice to bag the Best Couple award. Their interactions on and off-cam are such a joy to watch, and they seem to genuinely enjoy each other’s company. But we still have to wait and see at the award ceremony!
