Name That Drama: Sisters, computers, unhappy endings

 
Can you name these dramas? As always, feel free to email us your questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.

  1. Happy Lemon has an older show on her mind, the description of which makes me laugh (unintentionally?):

    This is an old drama from late ’90s. It’s the story about two sisters. The Younger Sis sells cosmetics and has short hair.

    Her unni was a successful anchorwoman, very shrewd. She has no interest in an Ordinary Guy because he has no money, until it was later revealed he’s a chaebol. So she goes crazy when the OG dumps her for the Younger Sister. In the end, Younger Sis just chose to take care of her mentally deranged unni. They stare into the sunset at some countryside and live unhappily ever after.

     

  2. Kinga’s story sounds familiar, so maybe you’ll be able to identify the title:

    Hi all, I have been trying to find out the name of this drama or movie. My sister told me this story where the leads fall in love with each other online. And later at the end of the movie or drama, they find out that they live next door to each other. Sorry I don’t have much to add.

     

  3. sesesa only has one scene to go on, but at least it’s specific:

    Hey, I have one drama that I only remember one scene from, and it couldn’t be older than 5-7 years. Maybe.

    The scene: A boss-like main character asks his employees to produce a kind of website where citizens can check all the stuff about them (insurance, pension, medicine records, etc). They fail and he designs the website by himself and the group loves it. But then he gives it to an old man to test it out and the old man doesn’t understand how to work the webpage. Then there was something in the middle that I don’t remember but at the end they designed the homepage to be accessible by petting a picture of a dog.

    That’s all I remember, I hope you can help me, that scene has been in my head for days.

     

  4. Nikki’s is also fairly specific, and perhaps the details will jog your memory:

    I vaguely remember random details of a drama I watched a while ago, I want to watch it again, but I can’t remember what it was called. I think it had something to do with a dating show for a male celebrity. Of the female options who were there, one of the girls was his ex-girlfriend or something. If I remember properly, she didn’t want to be there I think. I remember there was a scene that took place on a yacht, and also one in a courtyard in the night light where he had to dance with the girls he chose. I think he told her some time before, something about wearing only one earring… and she did. I also explicitly remember she was wearing a green dress and the producers of the dating show got mad because they weren’t aware beforehand that he was going to choose her. If you could please help, it would do so much good for my sanity as I have spent a while looking for it. Thank you.

     

  5. Mrs. Jang guem suk asks:

    Do you guys know the name of the drama about a guy in his 20s or 30s who was one of the best car dealers around and then one day he had a nervous breakdown? Then the show goes a few months later and shows how he went from his mom’s fish stand to becoming a car dealer again.

     

  6. Aw, help mintylilly find her drama:

    I remembered watching this drama alongside my sister when I was younger. I never finished this drama and my sister is gone now so I want to remember our ol’ sweet memories together. One scene that is vividly in my mind is when the hero hands the heroine a stalk of lily bell (a type of flower). They’re at a grave, maybe her brother or mother, and I remember there’s confusion there about the grave. And the hero tells her the meaning of the flower. It is a sad scene but oddly feels sweet. And there’s a scene when they played basketball together. And I remember how my sister cried so much watching this and cursing about the ending. I think one of the leads died. I don’t know. Help me find this drama. Thanks in advance!

No 2, I think it's japanese movie called "Otonari" or a taiwanese movie called "turn left, turn right" starring takeshi kaneshiro. I love both movies.

No3. Reminds me of Japanese drama called "Rich Man, Poor Woman"

LOL, well someone should find out what number 1 is as soon as possible because it sounds so very satisfying:

"They stare into the sunset at some countryside and live unhappily ever after."

I simply must watch.

I'm not sure about no. 1 but I think it's All About Eve? But they're not sisters, though.

I know, right? My first reaction upon reading that was "Let me know what that drama is so I can NEVER, even inadvertantly, watch that."

#3 Rich Man, Poor Woman for sure, as previously said.
#4 Could either be from The Greatest Love, except the gril isn't an ex-girlfriend, or from Marrying a Millionaire. Never saw that one, but it could match the description given

#1 sounds like the year-2000 Kdrama "All About Eve" starring Chae Rim and Jang Dong Gun

#5 sounds like it might be Kdrama "Hot-Blooded Salesman"

#6 sounds like it might be Kdrama "A Thousand Days' Promise"

For #1, I'm not sure if it's 'All About Eve'. In that drama, it was a happy ending not a sad/depressing ending.

Plus they weren't sisters. At least not at first, I only watched half of it, because there were not subs!

A Thousand Days’ Promise with Soe Ae? It doesn't sound like it but then again I could've missed that scene...

Snow Queen! Of course it is! I'd completely forgotten about that part.

Required fields are marked *

I don't recall the flower part, but the rest of it sounds like snow queen. That drama made me read all the original Hans Christan Anderson's stories, none of that Disney crap

Snow Queen was my first Korean melo and I loved it.

Here's a link to a MV which contains the flower scene.

Why does #2 only reminds me of I Need Romance 3's side story? One of the female lead's best friend was doing this online dating thing and having casual sex with the guy until she finds out he lived next door.

No 1 is not Glass Slippers. In that one the unni is a very nice woman and she doesn't refuse a secret chaebol because she thought he was poor.

I really want to know No.1, I want to watch it right away.
