THE GIRL WHO SEES SMELLS DRAMAFEVER TV

The growing Korean TV drama fever has led to the establishment of “Hallyu Tours.” There are now several published guides that map out the filming locations of popular TV shows such as “My Love From the Star,” “We Got Married,” “The Heirs,” “Doctor Stranger” and “Running Man.” I wish I can recall what show gave me this thoughtful lesson.A handful of local dramas have enjoyed so much popularity around the world, especially Asia, that they have been credited with enticing viewers to travel to Korea to see the culture and filming locations firsthand. When I remembered that, I was guilty because heavy rains kill people or their livelihoods here while I wish for more rain to get more sleep. While I’m bored wishing for more work, people can die.”

Then disaster happened then one of them said “I forgot that people die. The newbies are complaining they are bored. Then I remember a scene in a workplace kdrama. I get mad for my disturbed sleep and wish more rain will pour enough to flood and cancel work. Sometimes the very strong rain wakes you up at 3am making you expect work and classes will be cancelled but 3 hours later the sun is shining again. Hello! It’s stormy weather here in my country.

Be careful what you wish for (no, really).

It’s not an old show like Sungkyunkwan or Moonlight Drawn by Clouds because they’re wearing modern uniforms. One of the sidekicks rolled some rice into a ball and put it on his cheek and the other sidekick pretended to wipe it for him. The goofy sidekicks teased the OTP for taking care of each other too much. I’m pretty sure this is a show where the girl cross-dresses to attend school but I can’t remember which show it is! I just remember a scene where the lead boy wiped the girl-dressed-as-boy’s lips at lunch. I believe the characters were in their PJs? I can’t remember if the exchange was between two guys or a guy and a girl.

I remember someone complaining about how messy the room is and then freaking out over a cockroach they saw on the floor.

The room was a complete mess and there were clothes all over the floor. It seemed like some of the characters were living together. I only saw a scene used by DramaFever for the nomination and voting, but I don’t think it won whatever category it was nominated for. It was a drama nominated for something in one of DramaFever’s annual awards. I want to say this drama is at least two years old by now, but I’m not completely certain. Help! I don’t know if I imagined this but is there a kdrama show where the head of police has diabetes and always complains about his low blood sugar when junior cops are causing trouble? The rich boy is surprised because the rich girl takes him to a tiny rooftop restaurant to eat smelly food and the staff gave her an old looking blanket to cover her legs. They knew each other as kids but meeting again after a long time because she studied in the US (of course!). The rich girl goes on a marriage date with a chaebol guy. We watch the same shows but she doesn’t remember this scene and can’t help me guess what is the show. I was talking to my sis the other day and wondering if there are nice female chaebols in dramaland. Ready for another round of drama-sleuthing?
