Is Suzy Bae dating her While You Were Sleeping co-star Lee Jong Suk after Lee Min Ho split?

While You Were Sleeping star Suzy Bae seems to have found a new love interest after her breakup with Lee Min Ho. It is her SBS fantasy thriller co-star Lee Jong Suk.

The popular South Korean singer and actress, who portrayed a news reporter named Nam Hong Joo in the mini-series, has recently admitted she actually fell in love with her co-star while filming the show.

When popular television host Shin Dong Yup asked the former miss A member if she actually fell in love with her co-star, she admitted it. "Because Jong Suk oppa is so good looking, I could really immerse myself in the role. Jong Suk oppa might just be a chemistry fairy," she said.

Jong Suk, too, admitted he developed feelings for his co-star "from time to time" during the production. "Suzy is the most beautiful woman in Korea. I fell in love from time to time," he said.

"It will be perfect if Lee Jong Suk and Han Hyo Joo will be in a relationship. Also it would be better if Lee Min Ho and Bae Suzy still in a relationship [sic]," a Facebook user stated.

"what? i dont like suzy for jongsuk, i like han hyo joo for jongsuk, because if you saw the picture of two of them, very sweet like a candy, its like a real couple, but suzy i dont like, because lee min ho and suzy is now break up, and then new boyfriend jongsuk, no way [sic]," an admirer of Jong Suk wrote.

Meanwhile, a section of netizens believes it is a trend in the television industry to compliment co-stars immediately after working together in a drama.

"I think it's a trend for actors to say that because it will get people to watch the drama e.g strong woman or weight lifting fairy [sic]," a Facebook user wrote.

"He totally fell in love with every girl he in a drama with. I remember he said the something abt Han Hyojoo don't hope too much. I'm not being salty. I'd love to see him in a relationship. But this is a marketing strategy for the drama [sic]," another netizen said.
