Welcome to the K-drama treasure hunt, where we all go looking for K-drama treasure in the form of tiny drama details that we know and love. Sometimes these details take the shape of well-worn tropes (oppa Band-Aiding) or storytelling devices (Top Secret Deadly Allergy), but other times it’s just details we know we’ve seen in other dramas, but need help putting all the clues together.
In each post we’ll put you on the hunt for a piece of K-drama treasure, and you can report your findings in the comments.
There’s no umpire in this game, so if you find the detail we’re looking for, drop the drama title (or even better, drama title + episode number) in the comments, and we’ll all take your word for it. Or, we’ll go binge watch just to see it play out.
And remember, we’re here to map our way to the treasures not to the plot twists! We know how exciting it can be to have all the hard-earned details stashed in your head, but let’s try to keep the spoilers out of the comments.
This week’s treasure:
Licking the yogurt lid
Your mission:
We’re looking for the biggest class marker in dramaland this round. That’s right, the yogurt lid lick. Everyone knows that chaebols don’t do it, while the rest of us regular folks just can’t bear to waste any last drops! So, find and list all the scenes where our characters are keeping their feet on the ground and licking the yogurt off the lid.
Reference drama:
While You Were Sleeping (Episode 7)
