I would actually like to know #5 too.

No 2 is 'Mina' starring Kim Sarang.

Number two sounds like "Mina."

The last one sounds like a Japanese drama called Anna-san no Omame. The female character was incredibly narcissistic and thought everyone liked her, even going as far as to think that her best friend's boyfriend is using the friend to get her instead. She's really a whackjob.

For #5, maybe Anna-san no Omame?

It sounds similar - here's the description from the drama-wiki
"Anna is everyone's dream; beautiful, intelligent, kind and elegant. But in this drama, she is not the heroine... it is her best friend Lily. Lily is a girl who is overly confident of her own beauty and fantasizes that the whole world is in love with her. She even feels sorry for Anna who is always chased by the boys... as she believes that they are using Anna to become acquainted with her own self."

#2 is Mina starring Chae Jung Ahn, Ahn Jae Mo and Kim Sarang-I like that show too...

Number 4 is most likely the Jdrama Delicious Gakuin.

Number 4 is Delicious Gakuin.

It is a Japanese drama. I never watched it but I remember reading a description like that on dramacrazy.

#1 may be a Chinese movie and not a Korean movie. I vaguely remember a movie like that. Definitely the shoe-shining part. But you're right that it was a long, long time ago! I would say more 80's though.

I have a confession here: I love reading these, "Name That Drama"'s here. But whenever another is posted I get this "itch" to make up a plot and see if somebody can find a movie that it represents. (You know, doesn't anyone else have a COMPULSION to spit when they see the "no spitting" sign at the edge of a canyon. Or run barefoot through the "do not step on the grass" area? Meh, maybe it's just me. . .)
Seriously, one of these days I'm going to make up the weirdest scenario I can, just to see if somebody can make it fit into an old movie script.

i think number one is a korean movie because I remember the mom wore hanbok. I remember that the kid worked to buy medicine for his dad but I don't remember title because it was translated in my native language and it often changes/leaves out original title of the movie.

Number 3 sounds a lot like the drama 'Good Job, Good Job' with my uber talented ahjussi Uhm Ki Joon and Chae Rim. Everything fits expect that Chae Rim worked for UKJ's rich mom's ceramic store and letter opens one of her own. you can check it out at dramafever or good drama.net to see it if is it.

There seems to be so much success with naming dramas on here. I would like to try. I've only seen a few episodes of this drama but never knew the title. I saw it in 2007(maybe, possibly b/t 2004-2010). I'm not sure if it's a Korean drama. It's about three ladies who live together. Two of them are psychologists(?) and I think the third roommate is a reporter.
One of the psychologist had a coworker who used to be fat and she was also looking for her lost brother. I believed she let go of him at an amusement park when she was younger. During an episode (or maybe two), she mistaken a star from the US as her younger brother.

I remember psychologist two's name was Janice (Lee?). There was an episode where she met an (ex?) pornstar. The pornstar had problems with her mother. She used to agree and follow her mother's ways but the one time she went against the mother, the mother stopped favoring her and instead favored her (the pornstar's) sister. Janice became her friend.

I don't remember which psychologist was involve but there was also another episode where there was a kid who could see her grandmother. The mother was freaked out because the kid drew the grandmother in her burial clothes and the grandmother died before the kid was born.

There is also another episode where the reporter had to deal with a flasher.

This is all that I remember. If someone could name this drama; I would be really grateful!! I watched this when I was a kid and have been searching for a couple years.

I remember this one scene; where both the guy was standing looking down at the girl from building or something and they were both wearing suit and wedding dress?

girl wanted the guy to save her or something but they guy said his suit will get wrinkled or something like that.

I love reading those but then they put a big spoiler in the end and I lose all the interest.

it seemed interesting until you read ''he dies/she dies in the end'' well... thanks for spoiling it

I watched this drama in the late 90's and became so obssessed with it. Since i was very young then , i cant remember the title nor the sypnosis. i hope even one of you would know this. Please help me ~~

This is the story between two buddies and the conflicts they have because of friendship and politics. Its a melodrama and i think its very popular at the time.There is also a girl who will fall in love with one of the main leads and she is maybe a casino owner's daughter. I hope this is enough details.

Its incredible how someone ALWAYS manage to name the dramas!! Mm, congrats :)

Number four is the jdrama Delicious Gakuin, I believe. Haven't watched it, only know it because it stars AAA's Takahiro Nishijima! (AAA is my favorite jpop group, haha.)

These posts give me life. I get so giddy when they pop up!

I don't know where else to post this, but I'm looking for a drama as well. It's about a girl who teaches at a music school in a wooded area. There's a half white half Korean dude in the drama, and he spoke more English than Korean. He wasn't Daniel Henney, but he was just as good looking. The plot was kind of dumb but it was a feel-good drama. Please help. I've been searching for a long time! Thanks!

Thank you, Laya! I couldn't remember if it was Taiwanese or Korean! Been looking forever!

@Asdfghjkl In Dream High, Jin Gook (Taecyeon) and Hye Mi (Suzy) shared a row of yoghurt drinks as kids...

Idk for sure but the last sounds like Manny. I mean the drama itself was somewhat lacklaster in my opinion but janice was really narcissistic and she like the dude nanny who takes care of her sister's/friend's kids. But he ends up dating the kids mom cuz shes single. Idk whatever thats what it sounds like to me so check it out and see if it is!!

#1 I don't know if you found it yet, but I have been searching for it for years too! I finally found it. Spent all night searching. it is called:

Singer and Daughter (Uljido Motamnida) 울지도 못합니다 (1969)

or at least that was the name i found it under.
Let me know if you found a site where we can view the movie.
