Before the hit Korean series "The Producer" took China by storm, there was another television series from Korea that gained more than 200 million views on one of China's streaming site. This was none other than the series "Pinocchio" which starred Lee Jong Suk and Park Shin Hye. The chemistry between the two stars was certainly one to watch. Now, reports claim since the end of the series, the onscreen couple has taken their relationship off screen.

Reports by Soompi claim that Shin Hye and Jong Suk have been dating for almost four months. Despite the end of the series, the two have constantly been in touch. The pair reportedly enjoyed dates in and outside of Korea.

"Magazine photo shoots usually wrap up in two days. The rest of the time is free. The two would make time for each other while working to go on dates secretly," stated the source in the report.

The report adds that the couple would meet up late at night. Their dates also consisted of late night drives where Jong Suk would pick up Shin Hye from her home using either his Mercedes Benz or his Porsche.

Media Daum even manages to note the coincidental meet-ups between the two, which were also touted as their dates. In March, the couple was reportedly spotted dating after their InStyle photo shoot. Again in April, Shin Hye was spotted with Jong Suk in Hawaii. While Shin Hye headed out to Hawaii with a friend, Jong Suk reportedly travelled alone but had met up with Shin Hye as soon as he arrived in Hawaii.

While fans of the "Pinocchio" series are obviously happy over the news of Shin Hye and Jong Suk dating for real, it appears that the reports are completely untrue. According to an updated report, the pair is nothing more than good friends.

"It is untrue that she is dating Lee Jong Suk. The pictures were taken after an overseas photo shoot. The rumors are completely untrue," stated the source.

It appears that Jong Suk and Shin Hye real life romance isn't bound to happen anytime soon. Yet, this has not stopped fans of their "Pinocchio" series from hoping that they start together in another romantic themed television show. For one, their Chinese fans would love to see them together onscreen again.
