Korean dramas have a special way of turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories, especially when it comes to love confessions under the influence of alcohol.

These scenes blend humor, vulnerability, and romance, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. Alcohol is said to push out the truth hidden in the deepest part of the heart, and K-drama has proven that over and over.

Let's revisit some of the most memorable drunken love confessions in K-drama history.

Despite his initial hesitation, Teddy's inebriated state led to a sincere and touching declaration of love, showcasing the classic trope of alcohol-induced bravery.

"Encounter" – A Serenade of Affection

"Encounter" featured a charming scene where Kim Jin Hyuk (Park Bo Gum) serenaded Cha Soo Hyun (Song Hye Kyo) with "Drunken Truth" after a night of drinking.

"Hyde, Jekyll, Me" – Puppet Love Confession

"Hyde, Jekyll, Me" presented a whimsical confession where Goo Seo Jin (Hyun Bin) used hand puppets to express his complicated feelings to Jang Ha Na (Han Ji Min).

This heartwarming relationship melted fans’ hearts; they wished for their own circle of friends.
