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:
Drama characters watching dramas.
Your mission:
Find as many scenes as you can where a drama character is watching another real-life drama. For this round, we’re looking for the name of the show — plus the name of the drama within the drama. So, if you’re imagining something like Episode 8 of Love in Contract when our heroine gushes over Yumi’s Cells 2, then you’ve got the idea and are ready to play!
Reference drama:
Love in Contract (Episode 8)
