Help @daebakgrits re-find this cellphone:
There’s a K-drama scene so absurd that I can’t forget it. Ironically, I’ve pretty much forgotten the rest of the drama, so I can’t find the scene in question to rewatch it and laugh at all the cringe. I think the overall plot was about a spoiled chaebol daughter whose family abruptly loses their fortune, but before they go bankrupt, the daughter begs and pleads with her father to have him buy her the latest and greatest cell phone — which just so happens to be the size of a large tablet. (No exaggeration. It looked like a first gen iPad.) So after buying this monstrosity of a phone, she’s attacked or robbed or something and has to panic dial 119. The struggle is real, and 10+ years ago I got a good laugh at her fumbling to dial the number and hold the massive smartphone to her ear. I have a strong desire to see how poorly this has aged with time, so can anyone help me?
@babylilo is still on the search:
A while ago, a couple of Beanies tried unsuccessfully to help me identify the drama in which a chaebol granny makes a grand entrance onstage at what I think is a shareholders’ meeting. I think she was coming to save the day for her grandson, who was about to be taken down by his family rivals. The part I remember best was that she was clearly meant to look like Queen Elizabeth — dressed in a conservative ladies’ suit and hat, with two corgis on leashes. Unfortunately, I can’t recall any of the actors in the scene. Does anyone recognize this scene? I know it’s going to keep driving me crazy until I get an answer!
