Name That Drama: Hostages and guys in military uniforms
by HeadsNo2
As always, feel free to email us your questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.
- May or may not be a difficult one
I remember reading a post for it on Dramabeans and being slightly interested by it. For the past few days, I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to find it. It was a sageuk drama about a father trying to find a cure for his sick daughter, and he may or may not have been a genius. I don’t think I’m ever going to find it. Please help!
- At least this one has names
Hey Beanies, I need your help. I’ve been searching for the name of a particular drama. The drama series is about a girl named Cho Bong-hee. She loves making clothes, and once had a dye factory which she co-owned with a childhood friend named Sung-gook. Her rival friend’s name is Suh Mo-ran. Her real mother turns out to be Sarah Park, the woman who wanted to adopt her earlier. Cho Bong-hee has a birthmark on her lower abdomen. I would be glad to get a favorable reply. Thanks!
- I’m sure you all have this one
Trust me when I say I’ve looked everywhere, but several synopses that I read don’t even come close to the scene I watched.
There’s this place where guys in military uniforms break rocks in a mine during the day. The camp/rock mine leader keeps nitpicking this one guy, kicking him over and over again every time he gets up from the ground. During the night, the leader lined the guys up and gave them a quiz, something about a revolution, and even if the guy who got nitpicked answered correctly, he was still sent outside the barracks to receive punishment. The nitpicked guy is played by Jin Gu.
Please help me, beanies! Thanks.
- We’ve had much vaguer
I watched this drama about one to two years ago, and I can’t remember the title. All I remember was that the main character’s best friend was later held hostage, and dies before the main character can save him. A few days later, the main character’s love interest shows him a video that the best friend had made for his upcoming birthday. Sorry if this is too vague.
- Name That Movie
Hi! I would like to ask for help regarding the title of a Korean movie. This one is kind of old. I think it is about a female lead who was asked by her best friend to look for the lover of the latter. The female lead saw the male lead and was able to convince him to go with her, not knowing that it was to meet her friend. The female lead fell in love with the male lead while they were traveling, but was quite conflicted, because she didn’t want to betray her best friend. In the end, it turned out that the male lead was not her best friend’s boyfriend.
I also remember that the best friend told the main lead that one of the qualities that she liked about her boyfriend is how sexy his Adam’s apple moves while he is drinking.
Thank you, and I hope you can help me find this movie. 🙂
Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!

Or maybe she tried and it didnt come up for her hence why she went through the trouble of sending an email. I just searched it (i even specified korean drama and it did not work) so how about we try not to assume someone is being lazy next time they need help finding info...because based off your assumption, if it is up here that most likely means girlfriday, javabeans and the others were also lazy (they post it here if they dont know the answers either).

August 1, 2016 at 9:35 PM
@Ryanna, I think they still post it even if they know the answer. :) Just to let the beanies play along and guess.

@ryanna I apologize if my word "lazy" offend you or anyone who felt offended reading my comment. Im sorry for being unable to find a better word in expressing my idea. English isnt my mothertongue afterall.
... And i actually tried googling for it after read ur comment, and i found the drama.
About DB crews, just like @mary said i believe if im asking about 2014 drama about an alien fallen in love with human played by Gim Suhyun, they will still be posting it, for the sake of the game and fun.??
Anyway, thankyou for ur criticism, I'll try to be more cautious next time ??.
Cheers!

#5 I was thinking Surprise Party with Lee Yo Won. I don't remember the details of the movie so it could be completely wrong. It was an impetuous selection post 49 Days. You know the feeling you get when you miss an actor after a good drama with great acting, you reach for crumbs to see anything that actor was in.

August 1, 2016 at 3:24 AM
I think because the Mr. Destiny she was looking for didn't really exist...I need to watch this movie again for some clarity(and a dose of GY),

August 1, 2016 at 7:25 AM
The story was imagined by Gong Yoo while Im Soo Jong narrates the story. The guy does exist, Gong Yoo and us just didn't know what he looked like.
#5 is definitely not Finding Mr. Destiny coz the journey only begun when Gong Yoo opened an agency to find someone's first love.

I think its one of those he is her true love thingies.
She meets a man in India, then on the way back her path crosses with Gong Yoo's character. In her mind the two get mixed up i.e. she longs for the man she met but its actually GY's face that she remembers. Then in the end when she has to meet him the mental image she has of the man doesn't match up with the actual guy and the audience is made aware that it was some instant attraction to GY that she has held on to all these years and not the guy from India.
Least that was what I got from it. I may be wrong and it is kind of strange!

Is number 3 for real? They really couldn't find descended from the sun when they know jin gu was one of the main guys?

August 1, 2016 at 6:40 AM
In their defense, I don't think number 3 is Descended from the Sun. It's a scene from Swallow the Sun. They probablty couldn't find it because Jin Goo's not the main character there. He only plays a guest role.

Hi, I'm the one who leaves request #3. And seems like you're one of those who never watched Descended of the Sun. It's okay.
I watched DOTS, and that scene definitely not in the drama. I'm a fair player, so I won't even asked if I could find the drama.
Thank you for everyone who gave the answer for Swallow the Sun. Now it's clear why I can't find the scene, since Jin Goo only a guest role. I'll check the drama now ^^

Hi guys, i decided to post my question here cause i need a reply quick. Please help me find this drama!
Cannot be sure if it is Korean, but I am pretty sure it is. I only remember this scene where the main leads were with another couple(?) in this really unique looking place. It was like in between 2 higher walkways, and there was a bridge linking them. Then the place they were standing in was lower and had some small and shallow waterway(?) in the middle with stone steps to cross it. So basically the other guy piggybacked the other girl across the stone steps. And the female lead was begging the reluctant male lead to piggyback her too. So he had to, very reluctantly. I think the male lead had a crush on the other girl(?). Please help! Thanks!

Oh, missed that it was another couple :x sorry.
The movie I mentioned I think the main girl is carried by the second lead guy in the bridge and the main guy follow them (if I remember correctly), so probably not what you wanted :( sorry.

I'm pretty sure number 3 is Swallow the Sun. When I first read it it sounded exactly like a scene I saw in Swallow the Sun, but then they said Jin Goo was in it, so I thought it might have been Descendants, but I googled Jin Goo and he's in Swallow the Sun too, but he only plays a guest role.

#5 is DEFINITEL,Y one hundred thousand percent, Surprise Party, starring Lee Yo Wan, Kim Min Hee, Shin Ha Kyun, and Lee Sun Kyun. And one of Gong Hyo Jin's earlier rolls.
My older sister LOVED Lee Yo Wan as a kid, so we watched that movie sooooooo many times as kids. I can remember all the details of that movie because we watched it so much.
We probably have the dvd sitting somewhere at our mom's house too.

Don't know if anyone is still playing but I sent mine in but it wasn't posted :( so I'll post it here just in case. Hopefully, mine gets picked for the next game.
Okay, I'm looking for a drama or movie idk with two teenage leads and the girl is extremely hairy (for a teenage mind, I guess) and the boy is hairless and they both get teased and strike up a friendship. I never watched it only read the synopsis on Kiss Asian while looking for something to watch and it just really seemed weird but now I want to watch it.
The kicker is that the boy shaves her body hair for her LOL.
