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.
Each week 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:
Couple items
Your mission:
Find as many scenes as you can where a romantic duo shows off their couple status through matching duds. Sometimes it’s a pair of sneakers — like our newly linked side couple in Tell Me That You Love Me with their all-green kicks — but the sky is the limit when it comes to couple items in dramaland. Whether it’s t-shirts, sweaters, keychains, rings, or something else entirely, if it’s matchy-matchy, it’s a winner in this treasure hunt round.
Reference drama:
Tell Me That You Love Me (Episode 11)
