Is that Guwon or Junho?

This obvious chemistry even sparked dating rumors for Junho and YoonA. Their respective companies have both denied it, but netizens are not buying it.

An industry insider revealed to PROOF that Lee Junho and Lim Yoona had been dating before filming JTBC’s weekend drama King The Land — The two are said to have chosen this drama for that reason.

Now, behind-the-scenes footage from one of the most romantic scenes has fans shipping them even more.

In Episode 10, Gu Won and Sa Rang traveled with their friends to Thailand for a short vacation. Yet, the new couple were hoping for more alone time together, so they snuck out for a pool date at night. It resulted in an intimate and very wet kiss!

JTBC has now released behind-the-scenes footage from this scene, and viewers immediately noticed some details. Firstly, Junho appeared to adlib flirty water splashes during rehearsals, which made it into the final cut. Previously, Junho challenged directions while filming another scene, and his changes were finalized. So, fans have realized that he has greatly influenced his character’s choices.

Say whatever you want but those teasing flirty water splashes ain’t part of the rehearsal they were adlibed into the scene at the end, argue w/ the wall. #Junho #Leejunho#이준호 #YoonA #LimYoonA #임윤아 pic.twitter.com/oS0bqdh36F

Even their gestures toward each other that immediately followed it had fans blushing! It’s not just these small attitudes or gestures, though.

JTBC even included filming of the kiss. King the Land viewers noticed a few differences from the behind-the-scenes clips to the final cut. They couldn’t get over how sexy Junho was for holding YoonA high before lowering her into a kiss.

This holding her high and then proceed to kiss immediately after putting her down slowly was not included in the actual episode but the hell this is so hot?! 🥵#임윤아 #LimYoonA #윤아 #YoonA #킹더랜드 #KingTheLand #Junho #LeeJunho #KingTheLandEp10 pic.twitter.com/jsMtPUKR3X

Arguably, the kissing was even better in the behind-the-scenes footage too. Viewers were impressed by the actors’ professionalism, considering how close the cameras were to them. They also noticed that the kiss scene was more like a makeout session, much like the characters’ first kiss scene, including more lip-biting! Some fans lamented over a few shots not making the final cut.

Their voices & angle in kiss scene makings is always better ❤️
The cameras are so close to them but gotta appreciate their professionalism they're completely lost in each other's face 😍#KingTheLand #KingTheLandEp10 #킹더랜드 #LeeJunho #Junho #이준호 #LimYoona #YoonA #임윤아 pic.twitter.com/zi3eks3UtW
