Just as America has iconic TV cars like KITT and Herbie, Korea has its own automotive stars: Rebecca and Sunny. In K-dramas, unexpected stars sometimes steal the spotlight, and these two cars have done just that. Rebecca and Sunny have become beloved by viewers, carving out a special place in the K-drama world. Their charm and presence on screen have made them as memorable as the main cast, leaving a lasting impression on audiences.


REBECCA [Welcome to Waikiki]


Rebecca is the name of the beloved car of Lee Joon-ki, one of the main characters from the hit comedy K-drama "Welcome to Waikiki.” Rebecca, an old, beat-up car that serves as much more than just a mode of transportation, quickly became a favorite among fans. Fans see Rebecca as more than just a car; she's a character woven deeply into the drama, adding laughter to the plot. Each time Rebecca appears on screen, viewers can't stop laughing.

Rebecca symbolizes the struggles and aspirations of Joon-ki and his mates, who run a guesthouse named Waikiki. Despite its worn-out appearance and frequent breakdowns, Rebecca is a reliable companion in their chaotic life journey. Joon-ki's love for Rebecca, his old, run-down car, adds a unique charm to the series.


SUNNY [Lovely Runner]


Sunny is another iconic K-drama car that fans love. "Lovely Runner," a recent hit series that has taken the K-drama realm by storm, features "Sunny," a sleek and stylish imported car. The car is beloved of Kim Tae-sung. The way Tae-sung is devastated and heartbroken when Sunny accidentally rolls into the sea strikes a chord with the audiences, infusing the scene with both humor and emotion. Creating a character out of a car requires meticulous attention to detail. The production team of "Lovely Runner" chose the perfect vehicle that became a fan favorite and added a unique charm to the story.



"Rebecca" and "Sunny" stand out as iconic K-drama cars. These cars and their popularity prove that even the most unexpected elements can become beloved symbols of our favorite dramas.
