My beautiful love story is Are You Human Too? with Seo Kang Jun playing the kindness, sweetest, most romantic robot hero - what woman could resist, even if there are unanswered questions about life with a man who, unlike his lover, won't ever grow old? Lovely challenge, Jane. Thank you.

No contest, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, Ep.13 (it's been a long wait!). She arrives at his home to stay the night; he says he won't hold back, and he doesn't. Backed against the wall, lips meet, buttons undone, tie pulled off, jacket shed... sublime.

I'm only half way through. It's so refreshingly different.

Chemistry oozes between Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim. One of my first K-dramas, I found their interaction so compelling I was convinced they were a real couple. I've since learnt that PSJ is a master of romance who can conjure up sizzling chemistry at will.

No hesitation in choosing the scene from Mr Queen when Shin Hye Sun does some flashy dance moves in the rain to celebrate what she/he thinks is the approaching end to their ordeal. The royal attendants are apalled; the watching king, entranced.

This is a hard one, so I'll cheat and say any scene which features the Cheonggyecheon Stream (Lovely Runner, Queen of Tears etc). It's a beautiful setting, whether by day or night, so little wonder it's used as a backdrop for so many romantic K-dramas.

I dont have to think twice - Hwarang. Various musicians contribute, but as a BTS devotee, for me the outstanding song is V and Jin's 'It's You.' It accompanies a catchy sword dance by the main actors which is impossible to watch without setting feet tapping.

Always hushed up. I seem to recall a few years ago Angus Robertson uncovered an incident at Faslane involving a fatality. Not a murmer in the Press.

I'm opting for Healer and Ji Chang Wook seeking comfort from Park Min Young as she tries to make coffee. Despite being able to single handedly floor a gang of thugs, our hero is really very vulnerable and desperately needs her. A very sweet moment in a delightful series.

That's another one the King should strip of his titles- for screwing the country.

There are so many to choose from (is there a K-drama without one?) that I'm nominating the charming but unromantic piggy back ride given to the Grandma of Korean films, Kim Young-Ok, by Kim Seon Ho in Hometown Cha Cha Cha.

Love your answer, but I'm nominating Family By Choice mainly because of the great performance by Choi Won Young as the wise father figure who opens his heart and his home to three children.

My favourite actress.
