Song Kang has been one of the talks of the town, along with his leading woman in Netflix’s My Demon, Kim Yoo Jung. The two had been giving the viewers much chemistry in the fantasy, romantic comedy Korean drama series. Now that some have been shipping the My Demon lead stars, we think it’s time to find Song Kang’s ideal next on-screen partner among the star-studded and long list of great Korean actresses. We believe these could sell popularity and best chemistry with the 1994-liner actor. So, shall we start?
Song Kang And His Chemistry With His Leading Ladies
The actor recently dropped two new dramas under Netflix in the fourth quarter of 2023. The second season of the awaited Sweet Home and the most anticipated drama with Yoo Jung, My Demon. Moreover, Song Kang’s name has been one of the hottest and most handsome actors of this generation, and we think nobody would disagree with that. Aside from that, his chemistry with his leading ladies on numerous dramas is most often praised.
Dubbed as the ‘Prince or Son of Netflix,’ most of the K-dramas with the actor leads can be watched on Netflix. Kang has starred alongside Kim So Hyun in Love Alarm and Park Min Young in Forecasting Love and Weather. Of course, we can’t miss out on Go Min Si in Sweet Home, the top-tier ship of almost everyone in 2021, Han So Hee in Nevertheless, and the current on-screen partner that caught everyone’s attention, Kim Yoo Jung.
Before we dive into some of Song Kang’s ideal next on-screen partners, here is our list of actresses we hope Kang can work with again. We love the chemistry and all the behind-the-scenes. We can’t just stop thinking about them, and even fans, too! Don’t worry; we’ll also have these ranked for you.
3. Go Min Si: These two are good friends off-camera, and they have a chaotic friendship, along with actor Lee Do Hyun. Well, what if a different genre other than Sweet Home? Maybe a romantic comedy would fit the two; we must wait and see if that will happen.

2. Kim Yoo Jung: My Demon is still an ongoing Netflix series, but we can’t help but wish to see the two of them work again in the future. They seem to be comfortable with each other, and you can see it in their interviews and guestings. It’s hard to pick which drama could be their next project since their current drama offers numerous kinds, and honestly, the two are slaying every genre.

1. Han So Hee: If seeing them together isn’t on anyone’s list of Song Kang’s ideal nest on-screen partner (again), we don’t know who could be. Seeing them in Nevertheless, maybe we can see them with a lesser red flag, Jae On, and not too naive Na Bi. Hmm, perhaps a friends-to-lovers trope would be nice.

Right now, let’s take a look at some potential partners in the future for Kang. Are you ready to do some imagining of the on-screen couples?
3) Kim Da Mi
The Witch and Sweet Home crossover? Count us in. Having Kim Da Mi and Song Kang in a show together would be pretty unexpected but will surely make you fond of them, especially with their roles during their respective shows. What adds to this is that the two are only a year apart, which could allow them to have a comfortable work relationship.

- Kim Da Mi has been known for her roles in The Witch, Itaewon Class, and one of the most favorite light-hearted dramas, Our Beloved Summer with Choi Woo Shik. Her chemistry with Woo Shik caught everyone swooning over their enemies-to-lovers trope to strangers and then to lovers again. Meanwhile, Song Kang’s Jae On in Nevertheless, may have raised a red flag but pretty sure got us hooked. Da Mi can surely deliver what she’s asked of, and she’s cemented her name as one of the most loved Korean actresses in the industry.
There is a possibility that people would be intrigued by what these two actors have when they team up for a project. Maybe a fantasy and thriller genre, or one with a lighter mood, perhaps we can see a melodrama Song Kang; that would be interesting.
2) Go Youn Jung
The two shared a screen, and we saw a glimpse of Go Youn Jung and Song Kang as co-workers in Sweet Home Season 1. The fame of the actors has been skyrocketing, and seeing them working on a lead role drama in the future? Is that the next big thing we can look forward to? Well, we can say that if that really happens.
- Go Youn Jung has this innocent yet fierce aura that captures her audience. She perfectly fits the roles given to her with her superb and flexible. From Sweet Home, Alchemy of Souls to Moving, Go Youn Jung has really marked her name as one of the versatile actresses of this generation.
What if My Demon’s Gu Won’s ‘human’ life meets Alchemy of Souls’ Nak Su? If Kang’s following project has some traditional Korean clothes fits, maybe with some romance, action, and magic on the side, then our top pick for Song Kang’s next ideal on-screen partner would be Go Youn Jung.
1) Bae Suzy
Okay, here us out, as this is the most interesting on-screen partner for Song Kang that we have thought of; here is Bae Suzy. Her recent acting stint with Netflix’s Doona! made everyone fall for the idol Doona, even with all the red flags she has. This could be another visual couple we can have, and if this one happens, we are confident that every K-drama fan will be tuning in. Both are 1994-liners, too!
- Bae Suzy has been in the industry for quite a long while already and tried on various portrayals along the way. The dramas While You Were Sleeping and Uncontrollably Fond, business-related Start Up, action like Vagabond; you name it, she probably did it. She has this never-ending Nation’s First Love charm that even with her famous flirting smile, you’ll get captivated.
How about Forecasting Love and Weather’s Lee Shi Woo and Start Up’s Seo Dal Mi? Can you imagine a romantic comedy drama with two people in different professional fields? Will it make you cry at the end, or will they stick together through everything? Another potential crossover of roles would be a red flag couple with Jae On from Nevertheless, and Lee Doona in Doona! And who could portray those roles well other than the original actors, right? We wish to see Bae Suzy as Song Kang’s ideal next on-screen partner. Please give it to us!

Unfortunately, for Song Kang’s fans, we will have to wait for the actor to finish his military service before we can witness if any of these women will be leading a drama with him. Kang confirmed that Sweet Home 2 will be his last project before he enlists. With that, who is your pick as Song Kang’s ideal next on-screen partner once he finishes rendering his service? Let us know in the comments below!
