[Drama-induced shopping] Three times one drama influenced how I spent my hard-earned cash
by Guest Beanie
The Lonely Shining Goblin
By @Ally
When this monthly theme was introduced, I had no problem finding something to write about. I am the person advertisers advertise to: a stable income with control of that income, somewhat materialistic (although I really try not to be—I just like nice things!) and persuadable. However, I was really unaware how much K-dramas have influenced my spending habits until I pondered on it. I’m only going to discuss three times that one drama influenced our family’s buying choices, but believe me, there’s probably at least twice as many things that we bought because of this one drama (including plush toys, OSTs and the actual drama on DVD), and then several more due to other dramas. For those who have been regulars on Dramabeans since February 2017, it will not be hard to guess which drama influenced such binge spending!
Everyday Flowers: My husband often buys me flowers and has them delivered to my office. Sometimes it’s because he’s in trouble and is apologizing, others because it’s a special occasion, and then other times because he is just thinking of me. (Aw, gag.) I love flowers. I love getting flowers. It reminds me that I’m loved, at least temporarily. I dry out the ones that have special meaning, like my engagement bouquet. However, the ones that meant the most to me recently were buckwheat flowers that he had his florist spend weeks finding to incorporate in a flower arrangement. Baby’s breath would have been too easy, and not as meaningful. The seaside scene where these flowers made a prominent statement was one of the most beautifully shot scenes of any drama and every time I see those flowers, I relive how I felt when I watched it. And on the card was just one word: LOVERS.
The Lonely Shining Goblin
A Milestone Birthday Watch: This drama probably had the best male fashion of any I had seen prior and probably since. For my husband’s 40th birthday last year, I was looking for the perfect gift. And since his birthday fell shortly after this drama and after he gave me those flowers, I had to find the perfect gift. He had been talking about getting a Tag Heuer watch for well over a decade, and I had the perfect excuse to give him one. But not just any Tag would do. No, a 40th birthday deserved a 40th anniversary edition watch. And it just happened to have been featured in the drama. And the card? I wasn’t original here either: “I love all the roads we have walked together, I love all the scenes we have seen together, I love all the questions we have formed and the answers we have found together; I loved you in all those moments. Signed, Your Bride.” This writer certainly has a way with words. The meaning of the watch and card was not lost on my husband who is probably the only male I know who appreciated the romantic gesture.
The Lonely Shining Goblin
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Vacation: Who wouldn’t love to go to a beautiful city during a romantic autumn season? We knew this place had amazing food and this drama solidified how gorgeous and quaint the city was in its lovely cinematography. The autumn colors played off the wardrobes well, and you could just imagine the crisp, cool air while the actors strolled (or excitedly ran) through the old city. So, this quaint city, its famous hotel, its lovely haunts, its cute shops, and its delectable restaurants called to us and we answered willingly last September as we took three days to be pampered at that famous hotel, have the best food, drink the best wines, and relive our favorite parts of this drama while strolling through the same areas as our OTP, and it took us less than a lifetime to do it in.
Wasn’t it obvious? This drama captured our imagination in so many ways, and we fell in love with its fantasy and the real life people and places, so much so that we incorporated it into so many aspects of our own lives this past year. However, because real life is seldom a drama, one caveat to this essay: The watch had to be replaced due to a faulty second hand, and then once it was, my husband found it too uncomfortable to wear, so he returned it and purchased a Timex, saving me a few thousand dollars! I guess I now have more money to spend on more K-drama-related merchandise. I’m really an advertiser’s and product placement director’s dream.

Lovely Write-up. You guys are couple goals <3 (all the best!) Living in the province Goblin was filmed in, I always find it funny how they romanticized Quebec. They made it to be a english speaking region (Quebec is famously french in Canada), and Quebecers tend to be cold to outsiders (my experience at least). And winters are the worse. But I cannot deny autumn here. The colours are amazing. The leaves are as if you're looking at fixed fire. That being said, I think your purchases are completely justified -- it's as if you're reliving precious memories with the loved one you shared them with.

But Quebec is romantic! And yes, very French! We knew this before going. Our pictures prove how romantic it was. We are planning a trip back on the near future! This time, with the kids. We also went to Montreal and loved it there as well!

Our Uber driver told us we need to visit over Xmas when it's most beautiful and "not that cold". Clearly he's delusional from living in the cold too long. Decembers there are freezing!!!!!! I'm a soft Californian I don't do cold let alone below freezing 😂

Fall is prettiesssstttt. All the trees. And theres that waterfall on the way to quebec (i forget the name) you have to see it (LOVE waterfalls). But going in fall you risk fall weather (well, you know already, but actually, quebec city is colder than ottawa). Summer is pretty too, but less shade in regions like chateau frontenac, etc etc. Longgg road trip ahead of you

I bet it is Montmorency Fall. While Goblin is airing (in winter), I went to see Quebec City to see its magnificence. Then I went back in the summer and fall to admire her beauty in different seasons since I live in Montreal....It is uniquely beautiful in different seasons!!!

I stopped over in Montreal for half a day during my train ride from Moncton back home to Toronto. I tried to use the French I learned during my 5-week program but they just ignored it and spoke English to me XP
I didn't have much time before my train departed and I was only able to walk around on foot cause there were a lot of road closures due to a marathon. (I also stopped over a few hours before my program started but I was only able to grab poutine that time, also cause of some festival that was going on T____T)
Anyways...the amount of Korean and Chinese tourists that was pretending Montreal was Quebec City was astonishing. It was cute seeing so many couples with their red scarfs and long coats in mid-August. It was also amazing how perfectly they looked taking photos. The women with their makeup and the men with their hair styled nicely and walking with their coffees all of them not breaking a sweat wearing so many layers. Yet there I was staring at them inside a nice air-conditioned Tim Hortons all red-faced and nasty.

Yeah, I saw like 3 girls with red scarfs and even one guy with the grim reaper hat. They took them out of their backpacks since it was summer afterall. Not too familiar with Montreal, but they were posing at some wall near Notre Dame Basilica.
I think maybe cause they weren't able to go to Quebec City so Montreal was close enough for them.

Notre Dame Basilica is in Old Montreal :)
Ally
April 16, 2018 at 5:46 PM
We went there (Notre Dame Basilica) as well, as is was a short walk from our hotel in Montreal. There was another cathedral we went to next door to our hotel and walked straight into a wedding, just as the bride was walking down the isle! It was so beautiful, but very strange at the same time. I remembered being in Italy and all the churches were open an anyone could walk in so I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was that they wouldn't have closed the church for a wedding!
Herlene
April 16, 2018 at 10:53 PM
@Ally chances of you seeing a wedding in Notre Dame Basilica is pretty high....well, couples in wedding attires having wedding photoshoots are quite common too in that area, especially in the summer

What a sweet post.
I love that it means so much to both of you.
This was my winter watch and it was one of those times when the show and my mood were in perfect sync. Each shot was so beautiful.
I think Gong Yoo just wears clothes well, though they were beautiful ones.

I really don’t think anyone wears clothes better, but I’m certainly not objective here! Colors and hues play off his skin tone so well. And the show is probably the most beautiful in terms of color, lighting and composition of any show I’ve seen—although PRETTY NOONA is giving it a run for its money right now.

The first picture is mine, or actually, a friend that went with us who allowed me to use it for this! Thank you for this site to allow me to share this and also for being here so that I could discuss and read about others’ thoughts and ideas, not just for this drama, but many others. I probably would not love dramas as much if it was not for this site!

I love this show so much too @Ally @ally-le inspite of the ending (actually I felt the ending was fitting). It was beautifully and lovingly made and deserves accolades, not only in how it successfully gets viewers to buy stuff (I want to go to Quebec too!!!) but in all it's production.
Nice article! 😃 It gave me ideas!!! Now I gotta find a way to hint what I'd like to the husband. 😏

I’m glad I don’t have to go very far to find people who appreciate this show; it wasn’t the highest tVN rated drama for no reason! There were so many people there who were there just because of the production, you couldn’t miss them. And I was fairly obvious with my red scarf as well! Good luck with the hubby! I’m sure you’ll figure out a way!

How awesome that you not only got to visit a beautiful city, but you also walked the same streets as those in your favorite drama, @ally-le! Aside from South Korea, I think that is a great bucket list place for drama watchers. Major props to your husband that can get your Goblin references because even though I randomly say, "It's a beautiful life..." no one around me gets it, lol😂. Does that last picture hint that Subway is a go-to during tough and stressful times? Hehe, or maybe it's Quiznos since I see it popping up now?😁

April 13, 2018 at 5:13 AM
The subway pic is there for humor because I don’t think I’ve eaten Subway in about 20 years! Not even a kdrama can change that! My husband rewatches Goblin more that I do now, and probably knows more meta references from that kdrama than I do for all the ones I’ve watched! 😂

LOL! Nowhere as "romantic" as you and your husband ...
I DO try to make it a point to go into Seoul, each yr we head back to Asia.
Last year, from Canada - Feb 2017 I was back to homeland Singapore just by myself, and just had to make a quick impulsive dash into Seoul with my mom (another Kdrama fan, though far less connected). To actively seek down the GOBLIN plush toy for my daughter, believe it or not! (it didn't exist in Singapore! - I looked in every Miniso :P)
This was maybe only the second or thried time we had visited Seoul in Winter. It was a cold (didn't really pre-empt the crazy in me that would prompt a 3 days 2 nights impulse dive into Seoul with NO heavy Winter clothes brought in from Canada. Nothing except for a ocuple sweaters, scarves and one heavier jacket which I gave to my mom. I used a lighter 'dress' jacket. No boots, no beanie-toques nothing in minus 2 temperatures. Luckily 2 out of the 3 days were sunny!)
Aug 2017- saw us again (Grandma, me and my daughter in tow) heading off Seoul - where a 7 day stay turned into 10 days because our flight back to Singapore was delayed due to HK typhoon.
Seoul just has a very special attraction for me esp (and us) - I am there almost every yr. Won't be going in 2018 and already feeling the pangs of regret - it will be Japan and Singapore this year.

My trip to Quebec and Montreal last May was entirely influenced by Goblin. A good friend came with and she is not a K-drama watcher. We made it a mission to visit as many sights that scenes were taped as possible. Hesitant at first, but she got into it and made walking around Quebec more fun. We even sent letters from the famous post office box in the hotel. Took a one day/night trip to Montreal and it was totally worth it. The hiking options in both cities were great.

My husband sent all of us postcards from the Hotel as well and made it a surprise! About a week later, I got it. So romantic. I posted it here:http://www.dramabeans.com/members/ally-le/activity/259391/
I’m glad you had someone to share that with! A fan girl’s dream come true!

Oh how sweet! Your hubby sounds great! So is my big sister. She got me into kdrama. I sent the letter to her, thanking her for always looking out for me. My friend always wanted to be a forensic scientist. She had a blast trying to find the exact spots and taking pictures matching the scenes. I want to go to SK with both of them. I think it would be fun to do the same there.

Yall are just so completely Sweet! I read cheesy romance novels and console myself with the fact that men like that don't exist in real life. And then I come to db and it's like....YEAH THEY DO because y'all are completely adorable!
This is the second time you've almost made me want to watch Goblin. So. Sweet.

Good to see you here @isthatacorner! They do exist, at least part of the time! It takes a lot of love and patience to find one and then even more to keep one! Lol! But worth it, every single day! Here’s to you watching Goblin. Just watch it fit Gong Yoo, will you? He’s better than anything!
