A lot of fans have been shipping for Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk when they did the Korean drama series "While You Were Sleeping" in 2017. Everyone thought they would end up as couples, especially when the former member of Miss A broke up with her then-boyfriend Lee Min Ho. Almost two years have passed, and the 24-year-old actress is still single, let's relive their almost-relationship when the two gave us butterflies in the stomach.
Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk took their chemistry beyond "While You Were Sleeping." When the two won the 2017 SBS Drama Awards' Best Couple prize for their roles as Nam Hong Joo and Jung Jae Chan, their speeches made everyone think that they were real couples.
The MC Shin Dong Yup asked the two if they ever fell in love with each other while being immersed in their "While You Were Sleeping" roles. "Suzy is the most beautiful woman in Korea. I fell in love from time to time," Lee Jong Suk admitted. Suzy Bae, on the other hand, said that he is a good-looking oppa that she could "really immerse" herself on the role, per Koreaboo.
Their sweetness even continued backstage when SBS's "Entertainment News Hanbam" asked them about their win. "Jong Suk oppa might just be a chemistry fairy," Suzy Bae said, to which the 29-year-old actor answered by asking if she had a drink.
At the time, Lee Jong Suk and Suzy Bae's fans started shipping for them. According to IBTimes, one fan said that if it is not Park Shin Hye that the "Doctor Stranger" would be with, it would be better if it would be Suzy. Another fan said they looked compatible together as they have the same eyes.
Another follower said Lee Jong Suk and Suzy Bae would be the best couple someday because of their chemistry. But despite the support they received, there were fans who seemed unhappy about their almost-relationship.
A Facebook user said it would be better if Suzy Bae and Lee Min Ho were still together. It would also be good for Lee Jong Suk if he would end up with Han Hyo Joo. Another one said Han Hyo looked better for Lee Jong as they looked like a real couple.
There were also others that see Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk's sweetness as a promotion for their then-series, "While You Were Sleeping." A critic said it is already a trend in the television industry to complement the stars who are both working in a new drama to sell the series so that people would watch it.
