Name That Drama: Pool kidnappings and tragic chicken

Can you name these dramas? As always, feel free to email us your questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.

1. Who wants dogs and tears? See if you can identify Secret Giraffe’s question:
   

   I’m not sure if this is a movie or a drama but it’s Korean and also really old, most likely from the early 2000s but possibly older. It’s also a really sad tearjerker.

   This drama/movie is about a boy who is very young — he looks like a teenager or in his 20s. He’s homeless and is always wandering around with this little girl’s backpack on his back. I think the owner of the backpack is his little sister who he can’t find. So he’s always searching for his little sister. Then he finds a dog. The dog is quite big and accompanies the boy on his search and protects him from all these things including gangsters. And while protecting the boy from the gangsters, the dog ends up dying.

   There’s one more scene I remember. It was on a bus and a girl who looks about the same age as the boy gets on. The boy gives the girl money and the girl is all “Omo omo! Thank you!” and takes the money from him but he doesn’t let go of the money. So they both hold on to the money until the boy finally lets go.

   Does anyone remember what this is? I really want to watch it! Thanks!

    

2. I’m intrigued by the scene described by Manin — it’s clever in an evil way. I must know what this is.
   

   So, this is a something that’s been bugging me for a while: I have this one scene off a drama stuck in my brain but can’t for the life of me remember where its from. So now I turn to you guys:

   What I remember is that its an older drama (not sure on the age, though I’d say around early 2000s). The scene I remember is that a woman kidnaps the female first and second leads to get back at the male lead. She then takes them to a pool, changes their clothes and puts sacks on their heads, and make them stand on the edge.

   When the male lead arrives the first woman gives him the chance to save one of the girls from drowning as she pushes both off them into the pool. I think the plan was for the hero to save whoever he loved the most, but because of the switched clothes the actual love would die, while the other one had to live knowing that she was not his choice.

   Hope this rings any bells for someone!

    

3. Kristy’s drama sounds familiar-ish, but maybe that’s because weekend dramas have familiar patterns. Anybody got a clue?
   

   I been looking for this Korean drama. I think it’s a weekend drama. It’s about a family and I think they own a cafe. I think the second sister is a dentist and she is married to a dentist but their marriage isn’t going well. She was kind of forced to be a dentist because her mom wanted her to be a doctor but she loves to swim. I also remember that the youngest sister is chubby and has a crush on a worker named Danny. I really want to find this drama. Please help. Thanks!

    

4. June’s question rings a few bells with me, but doesn’t fit any of the suggestions I’d offer. See if you’ve got ideas:
   

   I remember watching this drama when I was younger with my mom. It was about two sisters, specifically the older one. She had been adopted because her parents thought they couldn’t have kids but they ended up having one later on. The mom totally favored her biological daughter and started disregarding the older adopted one. The older daughter grew jealous and abandoned her sister somewhere.

   In the present, they’re both grown up. The younger sister was raised in an orphanage and can’t remember where she’s from. A moment I remember best is when the older sister pays money for her younger sister (don’t exactly remember why) but the younger sister gets angry and confronts her.

   I left off when the older sister tries to commit suicide by getting in a car accident. If you could help me find this drama title, it’d be really helpful. Please and thank you!

    

5. chhavi has a fairly recent drama question:
   

   I came across this movie/drama a while ago. I’m sure it’s Korean but I don’t remember which year it was (probably around/after 2010).

   The premise was that there was a high school boy and he worked in some radio station or he listened to radio all day. One day when he turned on his radio, he found out that he has been connected to a woman on that radio channel and it came out that the woman had already died (I suppose) and that he was connected and talking to her high school self (as she studied in the same school in which he is now).

   I vaguely remember the connection to an antique pole or a building which was connected to the school. I think that the boy’s parents’ love story was also involved somehow. If anyone could identify this movie/drama then it would be a great help as I would really like to see it. Thanks.

    

6. Anybody recall this scene from Lora’s drama?
   

   I’m not entirely sure if it’s a drama or a movie (although I’m pretty sure it’s a drama) but I do know for sure it’s Korean. I don’t remember too much about the plot but I do remember that this girl was pregnant and her husband/boyfriend caught her eating chicken at night cause she was really craving it. Another scene I remember is that it was raining and the girl went outside in a hurry (I think to find her husband?) and she slips as she’s going down the stairs and sadly she loses her baby. It’s from the early 2000s and I would love to find out what it is. Thank you!
