[K-drama Treasure Hunt] Bad hiding places
by mary
Welcome to the K-drama treasure hunt, where we all go looking for K-drama treasure in the form of tiny drama details that we know and love. Sometimes these details take the shape of well-worn tropes (oppa Band-Aiding) or storytelling devices (Top Secret Deadly Allergy), but other times it’s just details we know we’ve seen in other dramas, but need help putting all the clues together.
Each month we’ll put you on the hunt for a piece of K-drama treasure, and you can report your findings in the comments.
There’s no umpire in this game, so if you find the detail we’re looking for, drop the drama title (or even better, drama title + episode number) in the comments, and we’ll all take your word for it. Or, we’ll go binge watch just to see it play out.
And remember, we’re here to map our way to the treasures not to the plot twists! We know how exciting it can be to have all the hard-earned details stashed in your head, but let’s try to keep the spoilers out of the comments.
This month’s treasure:
Bad hiding places
Whether you’re a hero staring at his lady love from behind a thin lamp post or a villain eavesdropping behind a potted plant, if The Plot says you’re invisible, who’s to say otherwise?
Even so, some of these hiding places are so ridiculous, we owe it to the world to catalog them–just to remind folks that you can’t really hide in these places in the real world.
Which drama scenes utilize hiding places that are so bad, but they escaped scrutiny anyway?
Reference drama:
Idol I, Episode 7
