Obsessed with the latest Korean dramas? Here are some of the hottest Korean drama sex scenes and a look behind the camera.

Korean dramas: The hottest sex scenes in all of existence

Ever since the runaway 2019 Academy Awards triumph of the Korean black comedy thriller Parasite directed by Bong Joon-ho, Western audiences have become increasingly enamored of Korean drama as a whole.

K-dramas, as they are popularly known, are often dramatic or comedic romances that focus on a single couple. What’s fascinating is the tendency for sudden shifts in genre and tone. They have everything you could want in a show: attractive characters, hilarious & insightful dialogue – and, of course, romance. Hot romance.

But while sensuality is often a central focus, their love scenes are usually more virtuous that most Western depictions. But K-dramas do have their moments.

Psychological sexuality

For example, take The Handmaiden, the 2016 psychological thriller with multiple twists and turns full of dark erotica. Its plot features insanity, sexual abuse, crime, child endangerment, treachery, greed, and murder. 

Japanese Lady Hideko, played by Kim Min-hee, has been targeted by a scheme to rob her of her inheritance and have her committed to an insane asylum. The scheme is aided by Korean pickpocket Sook-hee (Kim Tae-ri), masquerading as the lady’s handmaiden.

At one point these two indulge in an erotic interlude under the guise of preparing the lady for her marriage bed. A fascinating erotic drama, The Handmaiden really cooks when it counts.

Modern lifestyles

The 2012 amorous romance B-E-D, directed by Park Chul-soo and based on a short story of the same name by novelist Kwon Ji-ye, stars Jang Hyuk-jin as B, Lee Min-a as E, and Kim Na-mi as D. 

B, whose life begins and ends on the bed, has an affair with married woman E, then maries D after the affair ends. This film is pretty much a series of erotic scenes featuring full frontal nudity that explores the depth & breadth of human desires. Not for the prudish.

Historical carnality

And then there’s The Treacherous, directed by Min Kyu-dong. In this 2015 period piece the Caligula-like main character, King Yeonsan (Kim Kang-woo) exploits the populace of Joseon for his own carnal pleasure, while his trusted advisor manipulates him through his impassioned desires.

The notorious acts of the king strain the boundaries of taste and decency while court intrigue keeps you on the edge of your seat. The Treacherous’s climax is intense, debauched, and orgiastic. Liberally laced with some intense sex scenes, this film is a crazy, carnal melding of outrageousness and historical fact.

Despite the obvious sexual overtones of The Handmaiden, B-E-D, and The Treacherous, K-dramas generally rather tend toward sensual kissing scenes.

Technological titillations

Popular Netflix series Love Alarm follows a romantic storyline with sociological overtones. Based on the Daum webtoon, its story revolves around three central characters, Kim Jo-jo (Kim So-hyun), Hwang Sun-oh (Song Kang), and Lee Hye-yeong (Jung Ga-ram).

Love Alarm’s premise involves their navigation of romantic impulses ruled by an app that notifies users if anyone within a ten-meter radius has romantic feelings for them. There is one very hot, bothered, and squealworthy scene between two of the main characters that will have you coming back for more.

Secret sex traffic

Another Netflix hit, Extracurricular, has its share of sex-fraught scenarios. Abandoned by his parents in the ninth grade, Oh Ji-soo (Kim Dong-hee) is a top student who, by all appearances, lives a quiet life. In actuality, he works as security for an illegal prostitution business under the name Uncle.

Lee Whang-chul, known as Old Man (Choi Min-soo), protects the sex workers and pays  Ji-soo. Oh Ji-soo’s classmate Seo Min-hee also works in the business, but doesn’t know  Uncle’s identity.

The show takes on some incredibly taboo topics including sex trafficking, abuse, and slavery and does so with a dramatic and tense storyline that only gets wilder as the show goes on. Peppered with sexual situations, intrigue, and a dash of humor, Extracurricular is well worth a watch.

The Hottest Sex Scenes in Recent K-Dramas

Korean dramas, once known for their chaste romance and lingering gazes, have evolved to embrace more mature and realistic depictions of intimacy. In recent years, several K-dramas have broken the mold, portraying sensual and emotional connections that captivate audiences. Here’s a look at some of the most talked-about and steamy moments in recent K-dramas.

1. “The World of the Married” – Betrayal and Passion

This smash-hit drama didn’t hold back when it came to exploring the complexities of infidelity. The intense chemistry between Ji Sun-woo (Kim Hee-ae) and Lee Tae-oh (Park Hae-joon) showcased raw passion and betrayal in equal measure. Their fiery scenes, steeped in emotional turmoil, left viewers captivated and uncomfortable, reflecting the dark side of their relationship.

2. “Nevertheless” – Young and Reckless Desire

This Netflix series brought a fresh perspective to modern relationships, diving deep into the messy, magnetic pull of young love. The sizzling scenes between Yoo Na-bi (Han So-hee) and Park Jae-eon (Song Kang) were both artful and intense, capturing the essence of fleeting passion. Their intimate moments were often set against dreamy cinematography, amplifying their chemistry.

3. “My Name” – Raw and Unrestrained

Han So-hee’s transformation from a vulnerable daughter to a revenge-driven woman was unforgettable, but it was her chemistry with Ahn Bo-hyun’s character that truly stunned viewers. The unexpected love scene was raw, unrestrained, and devoid of typical K-drama romantic tropes, making it a standout moment in this action-packed series.

4. “Something in the Rain” – Tender Yet Passionate

This noona romance between Yoon Jin-ah (Son Ye-jin) and Seo Joon-hee (Jung Hae-in) broke barriers with its unapologetically tender and passionate moments. Their kiss scenes—and the build-up to them—were praised for their authenticity, proving that chemistry doesn’t need grand gestures to make an impact.

5. “Love and Leashes” – Kink with Consent

In a bold departure from typical romance plots, this film-turned-drama tackled BDSM themes with humor and heart. The sizzling chemistry between Ji Woo (Seohyun) and Jung Ji-hoo (Lee Jun-young) was as much about consent and mutual respect as it was about desire, offering a refreshing take on intimacy.

6. “Flower of Evil” – A Darkly Romantic Connection

While this thriller centered on secrets and deception, the romance between Baek Hee-sung (Lee Joon-gi) and Cha Ji-won (Moon Chae-won) added a layer of emotional depth. Their rare moments of passion were charged with intensity, reflecting the complexities of their relationship and their undeniable love.

7. “Crash Landing on You” – Epic and Steamy

While this beloved drama was primarily a romantic comedy, the moments between Yoon Se-ri (Son Ye-jin) and Ri Jeong-hyeok (Hyun Bin) weren’t lacking in heat. Their tender, almost desperate kisses during high-stakes situations made their romance all the more unforgettable.

8. “The Glory” – Revenge with a Side of Romance

While revenge is the primary theme of “The Glory,” the intense connection between Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) and Joo Yeo-jeong (Lee Do-hyun) brought subtle but undeniable heat to the storyline. Their moments together, though restrained, were charged with emotional and physical tension, showing how intimacy can also serve as a healing force.

K-dramas have come a long way in showcasing romance and intimacy. These scenes, while steamy, are often layered with emotional complexity, making them more impactful. As Korean entertainment continues to evolve, fans can look forward to more bold, authentic portrayals of love and passion on screen.
