Kim Sae Ron and Yoon Si Yoon were paired on “Mirror Of the Witch”. The series was about a princess being cursed and left in the depths of mountains, where she met a man called Heo Jun. 

 The drama was released in 2016, when Kim Sae Ron was only 16 years old, 14 years younger than the male lead Yoon Si Yoon. The huge age gap and the fact that Kim Sae Ron was still a minor prevented a kissing or intimate scene from happening. The result was that viewers were comfortable when watching while still pleased with their on-screen chemistry.
