Rare Occurrences: A List of Korean Actors and Actresses Who Acted Together Again in Different Dramas as Main Characters

Korean dramas can be said to rarely reunite actors and actresses who have previously acted together. But that doesn't mean it never happens. Some actresses and actors have worked together again as main characters. These main characters are not always male lead/female lead; their roles can be important to the story's progression, not just mere supporting roles.

Here are some actresses and actors who have acted together again. Note that this is only in dramas, not films!
