From dramas that spark fast under a strong genre premise to ones that let a relationship build slowly, here are seven Lee Jong-suk romances grouped by pacing.
What makes a romance drama memorable often has less to do with how big the swoon-worthy moments are and more with how the relationship gets there. This list groups Lee Jong-suk's romance dramas by how a genre premise โ a superpower, a webtoon world, a prophetic dream โ shapes the pace of the central relationship.
If this is your first time watching, start with the widely referenced titles before branching into different tones. It helps to focus on how each character approaches the relationship rather than ranking the chemistry against other shows.
01
I Hear Your Voice
Set against a courtroom drama with a supernatural twist, the romance is driven by the character's instinct to protect someone. The relationship deepens naturally alongside the case rather than existing separately from it, which makes this a good pick if you want both tension and warmth. It's often cited as the role that cemented his image as a romantic lead.
02
Pinocchio
This one balances romance with a career coming-of-age story. As the character grows into his job as a journalist while carrying baggage from his family history, the relationship builds through facing hard truths together rather than through sudden emotional swings. A good fit if you want romance paired with a growth arc.
03
W: Two Worlds
The premise of moving between a webtoon world and reality gives the character an almost surreal appeal. Because the plot is genuinely unpredictable, the relationship shifts quickly and dramatically alongside it. Worth prioritizing if you like your romance wrapped in a strong genre hook.
