Name That Drama: Hungry ghosts and a lack of safety equipment
by HeadsNo2
As always, feel free to email us your questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.
- I feel like I should know this one…
Please help me figure out what drama/movie this is. I’ve been looking for days…
I saw it here a few years ago, but all I remember is a lady in a restaurant receiving a gift card, and it was a red string… she followed this red string all the way outside (it was nighttime, either raining or snowing, most likely snow), and she followed the red string until she ended up in front of the guy.
- Has there ever been a rich lead with a nice mom?
This is pretty fuzzy, and the beginning may sound like a lot of Korean dramas, but I will explain. So a rich guy falls in love with a poor girl. The rich guy has a mean mother of course, and the son is supposed to be the head of the company. I believe his dad is deceased, but I can’t remember.
Anyway, so the mom doesn’t want the son to date the poor girl, but he does anyway. This leads the mother to kick the son out of his house, cancel all his credit cards, and fire him from his job at the family company. He then goes and lives with the poor girlfriend, or she supports him somehow. He spends his last dollars from his wallet on a gift for her, and I believe lunch. (It was like $10 so maybe she ended up paying.) She then teaches him how to be responsible. And then the last thing I remember is her saying that he needs to get his position back. So he goes back to the company. I cant remember who the actors are or anything else about this drama and it’s driving me CRAZZYY! Do you know what drama I am talking about?
- Name that drama that hasn’t aired
My question is for a drama that hasn’t aired yet. I remember reading somewhere on this site about an upcoming drama set at an international high school. I’ve scoured the archives and tried different searches, but can no longer find it.
I have some teenage white friends in Korea who were cast as extras in this drama. They were filmed this week for the pilot. They think it is a weekend drama currently titled Get Up (subject to change or have a different translated name) and it’s supposed to air next month.
Please help! I don’t want to miss them in their kdrama debut!
- I’m hungry just thinking about it
Hi beanies!
Since I have been recently watching Bring It On, Ghost, I remembered watching a drama before that has ghosts in it. I can’t seem to remember the entire plot. I’m sure it is a sageuk. In that drama, the ghosts which do not have memorials given to them are always hungry, and that’s why they always fight over the leftover food from the memorials of others. I remember the lead(?) is always struggling to get food because all other ghosts are meanies. Thanks for the help.
- Name That Parody
I recently watched a parody of some drama and I remember that I watched the drama they parodied (I think). It’s just that I don’t remember what the name of the drama was. Or who was in it. I just remember this one scene (this was what was parodied). A guy and a girl are driving off on a motorcycle. The guy only has one helmet. He gives it to the girl. Then they crash into another vehicle. It’s been driving me nuts, trying to figure it out.
Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!

There was red string. It was from her sweater dress that got caught on his bag and unravelled. I don't remember her following it but he dis cut it up and used the pieces to create a dream house picture for her and him. I remember that because I thought it was really sweet.

I now remember their first meeting when her dress gets caught on his bag and in at the end of a the drama he uses the red yarn to build a picture of their dream home but now I don't think #1 refers to a Gentleman's Dignity lol

#1 might be My Tutor Friend 2. It's not a gift card (I think it's attached to chopsticks instead), but all the rest fits. Girl, restaurant, string, night, snow, boy...
But based on all the other comments, maybe not. I had no idea the red sting thing was so common.

YES. Thank you. #5 should be Soulmate. There was a girl who wanted to pick up Shin Dong Wook. She told him the tragic story of how her first love died, and he went with her to scatter his ashes on the lake. Except she told that same story to men all the time, and they only thing they scattered on the lake was flour. Awesome.

#1 Sounds similar to History of Salaryman (but I'm sure it's not. I just want to have an excuse to remember that scene hahaha)
#2 Also sounds similar to Lovers in Paris(?) I just remember she asked him to date on his level and they only used $10. I'm also 80% sure that's not the right answer.
#3 Sounds like Moorim School but that's already finished..? Is it possible that they meant that weightlifting drama? It's set in a school for Olympians so I figure they'd need extras of different nationalities for the competition.

#4 is Arang and the Magistrate.. I havent watched but the sageuk thing gave it away lol
#3 is tricky because lately the only high school drama Ive read of is Moorim School and it already aired... Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-ju may have foreigners but its a campus drama

Aaaah, I think so too. That's why it sounds familiar. In Stairway to heaven, the male lead then rent a room, then both leads rent many comics and they spent a day together without worrying their problem. But the female lead felt guilty about this so she made him back to his family..

August 15, 2016 at 10:51 PM
Yeah I thought it was Oh My Venus, but I thought I might be wrong since nobody else mentioned it! I barely paid attention while watching that show but could remember the whole string/yarn thing which led her to So Ji Sub (in the snow I think) (but I'm not sure about the restaurant?)

I thought it was the neck scarf that he knitted for her that he unraveled to reveal his proposal ring and wasn't it pink not red? Or was there another scene?
I did think it was one of the cutest and sweetest ways to propose though.

Bond. James Bond.
August 16, 2016 at 1:03 AM
I think you're right. As much as I love the two actors, that drama was very forgettable. The proposal was very cute, but since it is a common trope, I couldn't remember how it happened in Oh My Venus..
Hopefully the right one has been posted!
Thanks for clarifying it for me!

The girl story about how her boyfriend was like, making her do all these things on a motorcycle (making her say I love you) in order for him to slow down because she was scared of how fast he's going. Eventually he makes her take his helmet because he knew that his brakes didn't work and he wanted her to live. It turns out the girl made up the story to get sympathy from a different guy.
