It's already been a year since K-drama fans were left bewitched by Ryu Sunjae (Byeon Woo Seok) and Im Sol's (Kim Hye Yoon) epic romance in Lovely Runner, which stood the test of time, quite literally. The fantasy rom-com series' global success is majorly credited to Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon's charming chemistry. Besides celebrating the wildly addictive show's first anniversary, Lovely Runner — you can watch it on Netflix or Viki in India — made headlines recently for dominating the Baeksang Arts Awards 2025 nominations, including Best Drama, Best Actor for Byeon Woo Seok and Best Actress for Kim Hye Yoon. If you're missing Lovely Runner, we've broken down Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon's upcoming K-dramas that will release in 2025... Missing Lovely Runner? Here are 2 upcoming K-dramas starring Byeon Woo Seok & Kim Hye Yoon, the fantasy rom-com show's lead couple, that you can look forward to in 2025 1. Wife of a 21st Century Prince Wife of a 21st Century Prince is a romance drama set in an alternative universe where Korea is a constitutional monarchy. The storyline explores a royal romance between Sung Heejoo (IU), a chaebol heiress with beauty, brains and a fierce competitive streak, and Prince Lee Ahn (Byeon Woo Seok), the king's second son. Despite having everything, Heejo's perfect life finds an obstacle with her commoner status. On the other hand, Prince Lee has nothing but his royal status. The quirky pair get tangled in each other's lives when they’re at their absolute worst, with Lee Ahn undergoing a major change after hiding his royal identity his entire life, as does Heejoo. As expected, an epic love story beckons. Wife of a 21st Century Prince also stars Gong Seung Yeon and Noh Sang Hyun, and will release on MBC either in the second half of 2025 or early 2026. The hotly anticipated K-drama marks IU and Byeon Woo Seok's first on-screen collaboration. 2. Human from Today Human from Today is a fantasy rom-com K-drama that depicts the eccentric romance between Eun Ho (Kim Hye Yoon), a gumiho (mythical nine-tailed fox), and Kang Siyeol (Lomon), a world-class soccer player. Unlike traditional gumihos, Eun Ho has no intention to become human and rather lives a carefree life, avoiding men and good deeds to maintain her immortality. However, Eun Ho suddenly becomes human against her will when she gets into an unexpected accident with the talented but overwhelmingly narcissistic Siyeol. Along the way, a fantastical romance blooms. Human from Today also stars Jang Dong Joo and will release on SBS in the second half of 2025. The eagerly awaited K-drama marks Kim Hye Yoon and Lomon's first on-screen collaboration.
