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 as 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:
Flowery clothing in the countryside.
Your mission:
Direct us to all those scenes where characters find themselves in the countryside wearing someone else’s flower-print pants. This is usually because their own clothes have been ruined in one way or another and a doting ajumma has been so kind as to offer some of her extras. (Remember when our King the Land pair was in this predicament?) Pants, shirts, vests — if it’s flowery and likely came from an ajumma, it counts in this round.
Reference drama:
King the Land (Episode 3)
