One of the things I love about dramas is their richness of detail — there’s always some small moment or expression or even prop to enjoy. They don’t often draw your attention to these details, either — they’re just there for you to catch and enjoy.
One of my favorite examples of this is in Start-Up (Episode 5, about 50 minutes in FYI), when Dal-mi is preparing for her big CEO speech. She’s nervously pacing the halls with her script, and holding a bottle of water she can’t seem to open. Ji-pyeong comes over and looks at her speech and makes some changes‚ but the detail I adore is that he also takes the bottle of water from her, opens it, and hands it back to her — all with such a matter-of-factness that makes it positively delightful. That level of detail and specificity, I think, is part of what can make dramas such a rich watch.
What are some of your favorite little blink-and-you-miss-it moments from dramas?
