[K-drama Treasure Hunt] Memorable creepy-crawlies
by Dramaddictally
Welcome to the K-drama treasure hunt, where we all go looking for K-drama treasure in the form of tiny drama details that we know and love. Sometimes these details take the shape of well-worn tropes (oppa Band-Aiding) or storytelling devices (Top Secret Deadly Allergy), but other times it’s just details we know we’ve seen in other dramas, but need help putting all the clues together.
Each week we’ll put you on the hunt for a piece of K-drama treasure, and you can report your findings in the comments.
There’s no umpire in this game, so if you find the detail we’re looking for, drop the drama title (or even better, drama title + episode number) in the comments, and we’ll all take your word for it. Or, we’ll go binge watch just to see it play out.
And remember, we’re here to map our way to the treasures not to the plot twists! We know how exciting as it can be to have all the hard-earned details stashed in your head, but let’s try to keep the spoilers out of the comments.
This week’s treasure:
Memorable creepy-crawlies.
Your mission:
Find as many scenes as you can where a cockroach, spider, or other bug makes a memorable appearance. Maybe everyone in the scene tries to play the tough guy against this creepy-crawly, but more than likely they’ll be screaming, squirming, or even hiding behind someone’s back, as we saw in a recent episode of Heartbeat.
Thanks @marysadanaga for this treasure hunt idea!
Reference drama:
Heartbeat (Episode 3)

Obviously, Business Proposal was the killer cockroach scene.
Recently, In-Hae was scared of cockroaches in Heartbeat and hid behind Do-Shik.
Also, in Boys over Flowers, I Think Gu Jun Pyo falls into the pool because a cockroach jumped on him.

Shopping King Louie. Because Ziggy is all of us when spiders are near.

In "Gaus Electronics" episode 2, a spider brought together Na-rae and Sang-shik in a classic, tropey fall.

Yes and I remember being concerned because they spent way too long in close proximity to it instead of getting up and running away at Olympic record breaking speed 😬

Yumi's reaction to a cockroach in Yumi's Cells (Episode 10) was me. Screaming, freaking out, crying, but you still have to kill it. https://youtu.be/wghRPzrRvLc

First one jumping to my mind is Go Joon-pyo screaming after seeing a cockroach in Boys Over Flowers.

Apart from the already mentioned scenes of the spider in Shopping King Louis and the cockroach in The Best Hit (both hilarious), I'll add Eun Joo's room, when FL finds out she is not living alone 😅
It's not a k-drama, but just yesterday I watched some funny cockroach related scenes in the anime Romantic Killer.

Final episode of Celebrity uses multiple roaches to shoo away minor characters for a protagonist/antagonist showdown. Nothing clears a room in K-dramas like cockroaches.
Although when I lived in the sub-tropics bugs were just a fact of life. Even the flying roaches (palmetto bugs).

I think that there is a spider in a closet where LMH and PSH are in Heirs, and he is very affraid of the spiderweb.

Are starfish shaped aliens that can fly and Crawl in Duty After School counted as creepy crawlies? ╰(*°▽°*)╯

SURPLUS PRINCESS, there was a cockroach, the maknae gets super scared and his noona kills it for him
Not a kdrama but in the variety show YOUNG ACTOR’S RETREAT, Ji Chang-wook gets scared of creepy-crawlies, tho he doesn’t bat an eye over ghosts as he doesn’t believe in them
