1. Name that recap
   

   There was a scene from a drama that has been bugging me for so long. I didn’t watch that drama but I remember reading the recaps here in Dramabeans. That particular scene happened at the childhood portion of the story, as far as I remember. The mother of the hero was mugged in a dark street by foreigners (I think this happened abroad). All the mugger said was “Hey you!” and then the mother was shot. And died (of course you’d guess that). I remember the recapper/commenters feeling baffled with that scene (or was it just me?). Would really like to know the drama title and episode. Who knows, an intriguing scene might lead me to pick up the drama for marathon! Thanks beanies ❤️

   Another hint: The drama’s definitely after 2010.

    

2. Awesome in-laws
   

   Hi, it’s my first time posting but lately I can’t get this side-story off my mind from a drama I watched and I can’t remember which one. I only remember that one of the side characters was a married middle-aged couple, traditional style, the husband’s mother lived with them (and I think his little sister too).

   I don’t even recall if the reason for divorce was that the man was the usual cheating husband or simply someone who usually neglected and abused his wife (abused not as beating, but as a servant). I only remember that when the ajumma decided she was gonna divorce, she couldn’t bear to separate from her in-laws (mother & sister) so they decided to kick the husband out instead.

    

3. The charming not-a-boyfriend
   

   I can’t recall if this scene was a drama, a book, or a dream but I’m 86.23% certain it was a drama so here goes:

   A woman has a class reunion to attend and she was supposed to attend with her boyfriend. His flight was delayed (?) and she’s alone but then a younger guy shows up charming everyone including her. Near the end of the event, I think the boyfriend actually does make it.

   That’s it. That’s all I’ve got. Thanks for any insight!

    

4. Bribing with booze
   

   Hi! I was wondering if you can help me… if you can I would totally appreciate your help! I don’t have anything on me right now. Sorry, I am broke but maybe in the future I can send you some wine!

   Okay. Anyway. The question is, I remember watching a comedy. It was similar to Bridget Jones but in Korean… I can’t remember but she wanted to be a voiceover actress… and she was kind of overweight, but it was sooo funny. Do you have any idea what it might be?

    

5. Strategic cheating
   

   I was watching this US series, The Haunting of Hill House (it’s like a classic horror mixed with K-drama family drama LOL). Anyway, it reminded me of a K-drama where a married person was having an affair with another married person. When they were caught and confronted, the guy claims that he chose a married woman to have an affair with because she can’t reveal their relationship. Is there even such a show or did I just imagine it? Help! Does anyone know if this K-drama exists?

    

Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!
