Whether it’s intricately planned gestures complete with candlelit settings or heartfelt, spontaneous confessions, K-dramas have mastered the art of popping the question. These iconic moments not only melted hearts but also served as inspiration for anyone preparing to pop the big question—or dreaming of doing so in the future. So, grab some tissues and join us as we revisit some of the most romantic proposals in K-drama history!
K-Dramas With Romantic Proposals
‘Queen Of Tears’
‘Queen of Tears’ introduces us to heiress Hong Hae-in (Kim Soo-Hyun), a key figure in the Queens Group empire, whose marriage to the company’s senior legal official, Baek Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun), is on the verge of collapse. Their love story began on a dreamy note, with Hyun-woo proposing during a romantic date at an aquarium kneeling with a ring in hand and Hae-in saying ‘yes’ without hesitation. Despite their eventual separation, the couple navigates a challenging phase and gradually rediscovers their love for each other.
In a twist, Hyun-woo decides to propose again, this time, as a plea to rescind their divorce. He chooses a breathtaking sunset spot, renowned for being the perfect proposal setting, and pulls out a ring. “You remembered my size,” Hae-in silently acknowledges. Though she ultimately rejects his proposal due to fears about her declining health, the depth of their love is undeniable, leaving viewers deeply moved.
‘Queen of Tears’ is available to stream on Netflix, boasting an impressive IMDb rating of 8.2.
'What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?'
Somewhere between realising how much he depended on her to get through the day and persistently pursuing her to return to work, vice chairman Lee Young Joon (Park Seo Joon) and his capable secretary Kim Mi Soo (Park Min Young) found themselves falling in love. Their journey, filled with dreamy dates and playful backs and forths, culminates in a proposal straight out of a fairytale.
Lee Young Joon sets the scene with candlelight in an opulent setting and serenades Kim Mi Soo with a heartfelt song on a grand piano. “I’m going to sing to you like this forever,” he promises, adding, “Every night, sleep by my side.” While not one to typically seek approval, he romantically asks for her permission in the most romantic way. Dropping to one knee, he presents a dazzling diamond ring, and Kim Mi Soo responds with a tearful nod. It’s a moment of pure magic.

During a candid moment, Hye-jun confesses her belief that fate brought them together and expresses her desire to spend her life with him, asking if he’ll marry her. To her shock, Doo-sik says, “no.” Just as she starts to feel dejected, he pulls out a ring, flustered and fumbling. “I too was going to propose to you today. I wanted to do it first,” he admits. Smiling, Hye-jun sweetly passes the baton, asking him to take the lead and pop the question instead.
