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 speaking languages other than Korean.
Your mission:
Locate all those random bits of dialogue where a character speaks a language other than Korean. Maybe it’s the most perfect pronunciation you’ve ever heard, or maybe you need to have the subs turned on even when it’s your own language. All languages will be considered winners in this round of the treasure hunt.
