Name That Drama: Corpses, baby sacrifices, and a music video
by javabeans
Can you name these dramas? As always, feel free to email us your questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.
- Yes, RC, it would bug me too if I couldn’t remember a scene like this:
There isn’t much I remember about this drama, only that it was a sageuk and one particular scene that stuck in my mind. In this, there’s a large vat of boiling liquid and this guy is on a ladder (or some kind of raised platform) about to throw a baby into the liquid. I can’t remember if this was some kind of ritualistic sacrifice or not. It’s been bugging me for the longest time.
- Help Jenny identify this missed connection:
It is a fairly recent drama in the last 1-2 years. The two leads are in different relationships and they so happen to go to the same place for vacation. The main guy tells the main girl that if she wants to be with him, go and meet him at this tower. She ends up going but to the wrong tower — she went to the red one and he went to the blue one. They did not realize there were two towers and both stay all night waiting. One of them ends up getting sick after. The main guy asks a bystander if this was the only tower and he finds out there was another one and rushes to the other tower, but by the time he gets there she’s gone. Hopefully someone knows what drama this is as it has been bugging me!
- Here’s one for joana:
I have this one scene stuck in my head and it’s driving me crazy. I’m not sure if the scene I remember involves the main couple. There is this guy who is in a band or something and he meets this girl one day and is immediately interested so he talks to her, but finds out she is deaf. So next he waits for her by the stairs armed with a writing board and some sign language and asks her to a concert. She asks him if it isn’t a bit cruel to ask a deaf girl to a concert, and he’s all I’m sorry but music isn’t about hearing but feeling. She does agree to go with him. The guy seems to have grown up in an orphanage while the girl is in college. That’s all I remember, help please.
- Ack, having the electricity go out and mess up my drama-watching would drive me nuts too. Help ketu out!
I saw this scene in a movie that aired in one of the channels with subtitles. The current went out and I couldn’t find it in the guide… It’s driving me nuts…
There is a girl in a muffler standing outside talking to a man. The man is her father’s old friend but he lost his job or some such thing because of the girl’s father. She wants to see his place and he is interested in machinery and electronics.
There’s some strange tension between them. I think they would end up together in spite of him being as old as her father. Please help me guys…
- GossipGirl’s question has quite a few details; maybe one of them will jog your memory…
I was told about this movie by a friend of mine and his memory of the plot was hazy. Here it goes:
The movie begins with a guy (a genius?) who goes to a police station and turns himself in saying that he has committed a murder. He gives them the place where they can find the corpse and the police rush to the spot.
They reach the spot (cellar?) and somehow get inside. They find the corpse in the center of the room and the three windows(?) locked from inside.
They go back to the station but find the suspect’s lawyer waiting there for them. He tells the police that his client is merely attention-seeking and that he is not to be taken seriously. He also rules out the objections put forth by police (the client gave them the crime scene location!) as a mere coincidence. The detective then struggles to solve the murder mystery.
My friend also remembers it being a closed room murder (or close to it) and something about a humidifier in the room which can be controlled by a remote (touch-sensitive?) except that it has no fingerprints on it. There were no fingerprints to be found anywhere in the room.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
- I thought I knew what drama butterflies refers to, only it’s way newer than the ’90s. A similar plot then, perhaps?
This drama is either from the late ’90s or the early ’00s. I don’t really remember much about it, except for the fact that there were two sisters who were separated when they were young, and they met again later on, except the younger sister was now a thief? Oh, and the younger sister got in an accident when she was younger, where she knocked over something hot, and now she has a huge burn mark over her stomach. Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for this drama for ages…
- Louisa needs to know what this music video is (and now, so do I):
I know that its called Name That Drama, but I actually wondered if I can request a Name That MV?
It seemed to be filmed somewhere in North America. This teenage Korean male sees a teenage North American female move into the house next door or across the street. He instantly falls in love with her and suddenly transforms into this rocker guy with long black hair. Then he is in his room and has a guitar and full-on rocks out, while there are shots of the girl with earbuds listening (presumably to the song he is playing/singing) in her room. It cuts to her parents and they are wondering what is going on and then they suddenly get really into the music. That is all I remember. The only reason I can’t find it is because while I was watching parts of it, there was no volume so it was really hard to figure out what the song was.
Help would be ABSOLUTELY appreciated!!!

The first one is Warrior Baek Dong Soo. You don't see too many baby boiling scenes so they usually stand out.

#6 sounds an awful lot like Rooftop Prince; maybe the person just confused it with an older drama?
I'd like to know what #5 is, because that sounds really interesting!

Yay, finally one I think I know! I'm pretty sure #2 is Waiting for Love (aka Anticipate Love), starring BoA, Daniel Choi, and Im Si Wan (BoA and Si Wan were one of the couples) . It was a cute two part rom-com from 2013, written by the same person who wrote Marriage, not Dating. It's on Viki under the title Hope for Dating: http://www.viki.com/tv/20750c-hope-for-dating

At first, I think that was Anticipate Love too (love this short drama btw, :D ).... but the lines : "The main guy asks a
bystander if this was the only tower and
he finds out there was another one and
rushes to the other tower, but by the time
he gets there she’s gone. "...then I doubt that that was from anticipate love... because the one who realized that there was two tower is the girl (yoon ae) who then told Gi dae about the fact after they back from the vacation

But the OST for the drama was very good. I hated the sister, with the burn scar the most. She was nothing but a whiny brat. And, what a joke that she wanted to and became a singer. And, there were too many sleazy characters.

I was watching the final episode over the weekend. It was Shin Mina's first drama, and all the leads looked sooo young!
Too bad the male leads Ryu Shiwon and Lee Byung Hyun couldn't live up to the images of their characters....

Although it would've made a better drama minus the angst, I think it's better than most melodramas out there. Plus, it's nice to see LBH and CJW in their heyday.
