Although the main characters were Cha Eun Sang (Park Shin Hye) and Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho), the on-screen couple snatched people's hearts with their cute and heart-fluttering moments together.
It can be considered that the virtual couple started the "second lead couple" craze back in the 2010s, and they even won the "Best On-screen Couple" at the Drama Fever Awards" in 2013.
While a lot of fans shipped the two idols and wanted them to date for real, Kang Minhyuk clarified that the "like" he had for Krystal was the same as caring for a younger sister.
"Out of all the actresses I have worked with, I liked Krystal the most. She was like a little sister (to me) and was so cute on the set."
While they haven't worked together for a decade now, fans assum that they still catch up with each other, given that Kang still follows Krystal on Instagram and presses "hearts" on her photos.
In addition to this, fans also want the two stars to work again in the future as the main lead couple.
Kang Minhyuk Ideal Type
Although the CNBLUE drummer's ideal type changed throughout the years, Minhyuk has consistently mentioned actress Kim So Hyun as his celebrity crush.
In another broadcast, he also mentioned "Nation's First Love" Kim Tae Hee and Lee Minjung.
In terms of personality, he likes someone authoritative, courageous, and a noona (an older female).
However, in 2015, Minhyuk initially claimed that he was not planning to get married or that he might do it late if he changed his mind.
Kang Minhyuk Dating Rumors With Jang Hye Sung
As Kang Minhyuk is known for being secretive when it comes to relationships, he is rarely caught in dating rumors.
However, in 2016, he was embroiled in a relationship speculation with co-FNC Entertainment artist Jung Hye Sung.
The report said that the two fell in love with each other due to their similar love for cats and flower arrangements. But FNC denied this immediately, clarifying that Kang and Jung Hye Sung were only close friends and that they were both shocked about the rumor.
