Number 5: Ha Ji-Won – The Stoic Kisser
Ha Ji-Won, a renowned actress with a rich pedigree of stellar performances, finds herself on our list for her less-than-impressive kissing skills. Despite her acting prowess, a recent survey on DC Inside, a popular online community, labeled her as one of the most awkward kissers in the Korean movie scene. The infamous kissing scene with Lee Jin-Wook in “The Time We Were Not In Love” became the focal point of criticism. Fans pointed out Ji-Won’s lack of movement, making the kiss appear one-sided. In her defense, Ji-Won attributed the stiffness to the grueling filming schedule, expressing shock at the audience’s reaction. However, her encore performance in “Chocolate” reignited the debate on whether she should consider taking kissing lessons. Despite the critique, Ji-Won remains beloved by her fans, who can’t get enough of her exceptional performances.

Number 4: Park Shin-Hye – The Frozen Lip Syndrome
Park Shin-Hye, a remarkable actress in her own right, graces our list for her iconic half-hearted kiss in “Heartstring” with Kim Rae-Won. Despite the crowd’s cheers, Shin-Hye’s frozen demeanor during the surprise kiss left fans disappointed. The lack of lip movement and overall stiffness made the scene appear forced and uncomfortable. Even her kiss with Lee Min-Ho in another series received criticism, with Min-Ho claiming Shin-Hye wasn’t informed about the kiss beforehand. Shin-Hye’s fans continue to adore her, but the actress might benefit from a few kissing lessons to enhance her on-screen chemistry.
Number 3: Im Soo Hyang – The Awkward Romantic
Im Soo-Hyang, known for her brilliant acting, faces criticism for her portrayal of kissing scenes in dramas like “Gangnam Beauty” and “Kokdu: Season of Deity.” Despite her excellence in other scenes, fans found the on-screen kisses lacking passion and emotion. Soo-Hyang defended herself, revealing the challenging six-hour shoot for a particular scene in “Gangnam Beauty.” However, audiences remained unimpressed, leaving the actress in the midst of scrutiny. As fans hope for improvement, Soo-Hyang’s acting prowess continues to shine in other aspects of her performances.
Number 2: Kim Da Mi – The Reluctant Romantic
Kim Da-Mi, acclaimed for her role in “Itaewon Class,” encounters a hiccup in her otherwise praised performance due to a lackluster kissing scene with Park Seo-Joon. The series, filled with revenge and ambition, culminated with a disappointing kiss that failed to meet fans’ expectations. Kim Da-Mi’s static posture and lack of enthusiasm contrasted sharply with Seo-Joon’s efforts. Despite the letdown, fans adore Da-Mi’s acting, hoping she’ll grow more comfortable with on-screen kisses in the future.
Number 1: Song Hye-Kyo – The Cringe-Inducing Kiss
In “Now We Are Breaking Up,” Song Hye-Kyo’s comeback to the K-Drama scene, a steamy elevator kiss turned into an unexpected cringe-fest. The surprised expression on co-star Jang Ki-Yong’s face, coupled with Hye-Kyo’s stiffness, made the scene awkward and uncomfortable for viewers. While this particular kiss garnered criticism, the series overall continued to capture audiences’ hearts. Hye-Kyo’s fans remain devoted, hoping for smoother sailing in her future romantic scenes.
