Summary
I’m so glad thatSweet Homeseason 3 reunited Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si and continued their long working history together. Eun-hyuk’s death inSweet Home’s first season was one of the show’s most heartbreaking scenes, especially knowing how devastated Go Min-si’s Eun-yu was and how much of an impact it had on her character. So, the final twist inSweet Home’s season 2 endingwas a welcome surprise, especially knowing that it would bring the on-screen siblings back together again for a well-deserved reunion.
Since starring inSweet Home,Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si have starred in many notable projects. Lee Do-hyun has proved his versatility through K-dramas such as the Netflix smash-hitThe Gloryand the emotionalThe Good Bad Mother. Alternatively, Go Min-si showcased her acting talents in the thriller K-dramaJirisan, and is set to star in one of2024’s Netflix K-dramas,The Frog.Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si’s careers have continued to go from strength to strength, yet there is something special about the K-dramas they star in together.
10 Best K-Dramas To Watch After Sweet Home
Sweet Home’s third and final season draws Cha Hyun-su’s story to a close, but there are plenty of other K-dramas that match its unique appeal.
Sweet Home Season 3 Brought Back Lee Do-hyun & Go Min-si’s Great Chemistry
Their Dynamic Is Totally Different From Season 1
Sweet Homeproves that Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si work incredibly well together as co-stars.Eun-hyeok and Eun-yu’s relationship is fraught with complications in Sweet Home’s first season, as Eun-hyeok acts as Eun-yu’s sole caretaker, much to his sister’s dismay. Yet their character development and their increasingly tight-knit relationship are some ofSweet Home’s best. Both individually and together, the actors shine on screen as two ofSweet Home’s best characters and dynamics.
The success of their work inSweet Home’s first season carried over into its third and final season. AlthoughLee Do-hyun’sSweet Homereturnbrought him back as an entirely new character, the long history between the siblings was evidently clear. This made Eun-hyeok and Eun-yu’s reunion even more bittersweet, as the recently turned neohuman bluntly rejects his sister’s emotional advances. While this in itself is heartbreaking to watch, Go Min-si and Lee Do-hyun execute the scene perfectly and prove that there is still more to come from their on-screen partnership.
Lee Do-hyun & Go Min-si Have Been In Many Projects Together Since 2020
Sweet Home Was Their First K-drama Together
Sweet Homemarked the beginning of Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si’s many collaborations. Their next project,Youth of May,could not be more tonally different from the horrors ofSweet Homeas ahistorical K-drama. InYouth of May, Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si played love interests Hwang Hee-tae and Kim Myung-hee, whose sweet love story quickly became caught up in the real-life events of the 1980 Gwangju uprising. Though tensions inYouth of Mayquickly skyrocket,Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si prove they have what it takes to take the helm as a K-drama’s leading couple.

Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si’s final project comes shortly afterYouth of May, with the release of the YouTube short filmReincarnation Love. Once again, they were able to capture a completely new side to their on-screen dynamic through the time-loop romance, which focuses more on a lighthearted tone than their previous projects. While the short film is only six minutes long, Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si’s chemistry shines in the short period they are given, and hints at yet another unseen side to their acting potential together.

Among its many storylines, Sweet Home has alluded to a potential romantic subplot for Song Kang’s Cha Hyun-su throughout the K-drama’s run.
I Hope Go Min-si & Lee Do-hyun Star In Another K-Drama Together Eventually
There Is A Lot Of Potential For A Future Collaboration
Go Min-si and Lee Do-hyun’s long working history together makes the idea of them tackling another project seem all the more exciting. In the world of K-dramas, it’s not unusual for stars to work on multiple shows together.Song Joong-ki’sQueen of Tearscameomarked the third project he has worked on with Kim Ji-won (Descendants of the Sun&Arthdal Chronicles), whileGoblin’s beloved second couple, played by Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na, revived their on-screen romance as the leading couple ofTouch Your Heartin 2019. Thus, proving that anything is possible in the realm of K-dramas.
Much like fellow Sweet Home actor Song Kang, Lee Do-hyun is currently serving his mandatory military service and is expected to return in 2025.
Even thoughSweet Home’s third and final season is likely the last we’ll see of Go Min-si and Lee Do-hyun together for a while, the possibilities for on-screen reunions are endless. Some of thebest cameos in K-dramascome from long working relationships between actors, such as Kim Soo-hyun’s cameo in IU’s (Lee Ji-eun) 2019 K-dramaHotel Del Lunaor Bae Suzy’s appearance inMy Love From The Star. This would be a fun way for the actors to revive their great chemistry in an entirely unpredictable way, while also allowing them to explore working relationships with other actors.
However, seeing them in another leading role together would be even more exciting. Every new K-drama or movie they star in has proven that there is no limit to Go Min-si and Lee Do-hyun’s talents.Reincarnation Loveglimpsed at how comedy or a rom-com could work if they were at the helm, which is something I’d love to see more of, especially as their previous projects focused on the darker side of things. Regardless,Sweet Homeseason 3 is a perfect reunion for the actors and a working relationship that I hope does not draw to a close any time soon.
