  • The BinJin couple played Yoon Se-ri and North Korean Captain Ri in the hit K-drama after also starring in 2018 film The Negotiation – and they’re getting married in March 2022
  • Son has a ‘grand slam’ – titles from the Baeksang Arts Awards, Grand Bell Awards and Blue Dragon Film Awards – and, like Hyun Bin, has been on the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40

It’s wedding bells for our favourite K-couple, Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin! In late 2019 and early 2020, right before the world was overtaken by coronavirus, many of us were glued to the ride-or-die romance of Yoon Se-ri and Captain Ri in the drama Crash Landing on You, which centred on the main couple as lovers from North and South Korea.

As dedicated as we followed all 16 episodes of the series, after the show came to an end, we also kept tabs on the romance IRL. It started out merely as what fans hoped for, then became a rumour, and finally blossomed to the point the couple publicly admitted to their relationship. Now comes marriage, in March 2022.

There’s truly no stopping a real love story that’s meant to be, so read on for all the reasons why Son and Hyun Bin are made for each other.

1. Born in the same year and under compatible zodiac signs

Son and Hyun Bin were both born in the year 1982. Son was born on January 11, making her a Capricorn, while Hyun Bin’s birthday falls on September 25, under the sign of Libra. Astrology says that while the two signs don’t exactly mean similar personalities, they do potentially spell compatibility.

 

A 2020 report by Koreaboo said that both signs are “marriage-minded”. Capricorns are known to be very pragmatic, disciplined and devoted to their family. Libras, on the other hand, as its symbol denotes, are balanced and diplomatic peacemakers – a perfect complement to Son’s steady Capricorn traits.

2. They’re both A-list actors
