1. Stood up at the movies
   

   Years ago I downloaded a K-drama cute scenes compilation video which recently I’ve watched again. There is this cute scene which makes me want to watch the whole episodes but there is no info what drama it was. A girl waited for a crush in front of the theater but he didn’t come. She ended up watching the movie alone while swallowing popcorn and crying hard. Later out of the blue a hot guy came sitting down beside her to accompany her and he had the cutest smirk ever! I know its pretty vague but the fashion, the setting were outdated so its probably a very very old drama or a flashback or drama focused on the past like the Reply series.

    

2. Currently airing?
   

   I am currently visiting Korea and have become addicted to a Korean daily drama on KBS drama station. I have watched at least 3 episodes in Korean and cannot understand a word of it. I believe it is about a girl who was switched at birth. The actors are at the child stage. Her father runs a business and her mother hates her. Looks like a well-to-do young boy who maybe likes art and likes her. Her mother/mean lady has a friend with a daughter about the same age who is very prissy and that woman’s husband works for the other. Of course the young girl is bright, sweet and brave. There is another poor boy who may grow to like her. I would love to know the name of the drama so I can watch it when I get home to the States.

    

3. Addictive makjang (or is that an oxymoron)
   

   There was this one drama that aired on a cable channel a couple of years ago, 2011 and onward. The main female lead was an art student who had a pervy professor who she tried to fight and somehow ends up being an escort? I think the story revolves around her becoming a madam or something, there was also this gangster who is in love with her and saves her from all sorts of dangerous shenanigans and they end up falling in love despite the fact that the main lead was told not to ever fall in love. Also there is a mystery about her dad and I think she finds out he’s a senator or something, her mom sings at a bar and that’s how they met. It’s a little makjang but somehow strangely addictive and I cant remember the title at all. Please help!

    

4. Remarriage blues
   

   I suddenly remembered a scene from a drama but I can only recall that one scene. I also can’t remember when I watched it. A daughter is crying to her mother complaining that she can’t remarry because she is in love with the son of that man. In the end the mother decides not the marry for her daughter’s sake. I hope you can help me. 🙂

    

5. Ah, the ol’ egg maneuver
   

   I don’t remember when I saw this drama. I remember this one scene where the girl runs away and we see her in the train with boiled eggs. Then, her dad wakes up and he tried to eat the eggs but cracks the raw eggs in his head instead. Sorry it’s kind of vague.

    

6. Not deaf
   

   It’s about a deaf girl. I don’t remember the exact story line but I recall a particular scene where the lead actress was afraid that her child would be deaf like her so she tried using a rattle to gain the baby’s attention in a dark room. When the baby responded she cried. Sorry I cannot provide more information.

    

7. Dead fish
   

   Hi, I hope you can help me out with something I watched years ago. The story goes something like this: There is an actress who won an award for something and when she goes back to her apartment with her manager, a guy (boyfriend?) comes to visit her and as they are having a chat, he proclaims how much he loves her and proposes with a ring. Before she replies, she (thanks her stars) and goes to see who it is and turns out its another guy who came to propose as well. And THEN, a third guest arrives (gangster?) who also came with the intention of proposing. Overwhelmed, she goes to the kitchen for a drink and takes out a frozen fish and the first guy comes over to talk. Hilarity ensues and he ends up slipping on the fish and dies. She panics and puts him in the freezer and long story short… as a tragic (?) comedy one by one these men die accidentally. I think the police also came by and in the end her sister brought her friend’s to party all the while this mess with men was going on. And I think the manager was the one who also proposed in the end.

   Thanks for helping me out.

    

Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!
