Name That Drama: Flower birthmarks and green sheets of paper

As always, feel free to email us your questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.
 

1. It could be anyone
   

   Beanies, I need your help. This particular scene has been haunting me for some time now. Can you remember a drama that has a feisty female lead who loves to call her boyfriend (or maybe a boy she likes? A boy who likes her?) and her best friend “dab-dab-ah” or “frustrating person/guy/girl?” It’s quite an unusual endearment and I couldn’t figure out where it comes from. Oh, and also, I’m pretty sure it’s from a recent drama, no older than 2010. Thanks for the help.

    

2. Every weekend family makjang ever
   

   There is this drama, but I don’t remember the cast or the title. But according to my memory, it was a Korean drama filmed before 2014, and the lead woman marries this man because she is poor, his family abuses her, and the husband’s family sends her to an insane asylum. That’s how far I got and I never finished it, but I’m sure it was on Netflix.

    

3. This actually does sound familiar, but I can’t think of it either
   

   Hi, I don’t remember the name of this drama, but I remember the plot vaguely. It’s about a lowly celestial handmaiden who was part of the heavenly gardens, and she cultivated more than any of the others but remained in the lowly position because she loved flowers. I can’t remember why, but then she had to be reincarnated on earth. She had a flower birthmark on her face. Sorry, that’s all I remember.

    

4. Cooks, cleans, and sings
   

   I don’t remember when it came out, but it was about a girl, who was ignored by her mom when she was little and wasn’t smart. Later in the drama she has a husband/boyfriend that cheats on her, and his brother comes and starts to fall for her. She also cleans his house I think, and enters a bread competition and runs a bakery.

   There’s a scene I remember where the brother and the main lady are getting blue jugs out of the truck. I also know the main lady is a singer in real life, and did a song for this drama.

    

5. Name that Drama or Movie or Story
   

   I don’t know if this is a Korean drama or a Korean movie or a story that someone told me, but I can’t stop laughing whenever I think about it.

   So there is this guy whose mother married someone who’s not Korean. Whenever he asks for money from his mother, he wouldn’t say the word “ton” [money] because his dad would understand what it means. Therefore, he would say it like this in Korean, “Mom, actually I’m financially down these days. Can you give me some green sheets of paper?” Then, his mom would say that she will give him some. The green sheets of paper would mean money.

   The guy who’s asking about money is employed, and I think his father is American, because of the color of an American dollar.

    

Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!
