1. Heart-stopping finale
   

   There’s this drama that’s still on my mind for even more than a decade. It’s this South Korean daily drama (either made by KBS or MBC) that had its run in Singapore in the noughties for as long as I could remember. I vividly remember there’s this final episode in the drama where the female lead is in critical condition, and her heart stopped many times in the hospital ICU. I also remember that the male lead was distressed at the prospect of losing the female lead every time her heart stopped, but eventually she is safe and sound, and they even had a family portrait at the very end of the drama. It could be from MBC’s Miss Mermaid (2002), but I’m not sure so I’m asking if anyone who watched daily dramas know of such a scene. Thanks.

    

2. Who needs a lockpick?
   

   Okay, here it goes… The scene starts with a girl with balloons goes to her boyfriend’s flat to greet him… only to find out that he’s cheating on her and breaks up with her. She is devastated.

   Next scene I remember is, she goes to N Seoul tower with bolt cutter to cut that padlock where she locked her love.

   One night her pointed heels got stuck in gully grating she struggles to take it out but all in vain. Next day a delivery guy deliver her shoes but from anonymous sender.

   Hope it helps. Please can you tell me or find the name of drama/movie. I’m pretty sure it’s Korean.

    

3. Poor cucumber
   

   Hello beanies, can you help me remember this recent drama or webseries? There’s a guy who saw another guy naked. It shocked him so much that later, he can’t look at cucumbers during the company dinner.

    

4. Shady student
   

   I’m not sure if it’s a korean drama or a webseries but I have a specific scene stuck in my head and it’s driving me crazy! Basically, after class, this girl goes up to the main character and asks her to post in the class group chat to remind them to do section 1 through 4 for their homework. The main girl does, but the next day, the teacher asks them why they didn’t do the right assignment (the real assignment was sections 1 through 5), and he says that he’ll have to take off points. The teacher asks the girl why she didn’t remind the classmates, and the girl says that she asked the main character to post it, so the class blames the main character. Later, a friend of the main character checks the main character’s notebook and sees that she only did sections 1 through 4, whereas the girl did the correct assignment.

    

5. You don’t know that I know you know
   

   I only remember this one scene where Character A is pretending to be someone else and Character B is suspicious. B sends A’s used teacup to forensics for fingerprint analysis. B is surprised when A’s fingerprints are a match. It turns out A knows he’s being suspected all along and wore a membrane thingy to fake his fingerprints.

    

Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!
