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.
This week’s treasure:
Characters visiting an orphanage from their childhood.
Your mission:
Track down all the scenes where a character goes to visit the orphanage they grew up in. This could be a character on the hunt for their birth parents, or someone paying a visit to the lovely nun that raised them (like our second lead in Business Proposal). No matter the reason, if someone makes the trek to the orphanage of their youth, it counts!
