[K-drama Treasure Hunt] Red umbrellas
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:
Red umbrellas
Your mission:
Following last week’s spot-the-umbrella hunt, we’re back for a bigger challenge. This time, we’re on the prowl for red umbrellas – which Twinkling Watermelon recently proved are just as good for rain rescues, but maybe with a touch more melancholy. It’s a toughie. But what’s a melo moment without some blood-red symbolism to clinch our hearts?
Reference drama:
Twinkling Watermelon (Episode 12)

Not a Kdrama
The intro to Friends also had some red umbrellas.
We haven’t forgotten about you Matthew Perry.

Same for most-hated, but at least we got the parody red umbrella scene in Be Melodramatic out of it.

Shopping King Louis! The rain scene when he's waiting for her at the bus stop and she realises that she's not so alone in the world anymore 😭 What a precious moment 😭

Such a beautiful moment!
But I thought that was a pink umbrella...
(I have not rewatched the drama, so I'm not sure).

I can't tell if it's red or hot pink honestly but close enough I thought 😂

Something in the Rain > The scene was cute. Can i already nominated this drama for the green umbrella quest? 😅
DP 2> With our favourite duo! I think it was in the first episodes, when Ho-Yeol came back.
Jealousy Incarnation> I think it was on the poster but not a scene.
Clean with Passion for Now> The airport scene when she protected him the umbrella

Wasn’t there some mystery element involving green and red umbrellas in While You Were Sleeping ? I don’t want to give spoilers but the colors were significant.

Hum... to be honest, I only remember Jung Hae-In's scenes (overall his questionning by prosecutor and the hospital one :D).

LOL that scene is gold, too. When her boss sees the matching Taesan umbrellas and looks around at his own Hanbada colleagues wearing mismatched ones: “Don’t we have branded umbrellas? We look like a mess!!”
*cur rummaging in the car trunk and reappearing for a second grand intro - now with matching dark blue umbrellas*

There's a brief scene in Backstreet Rookie where she is watching him from outside in the rain holding a red umbrella.

I thought I had one at the end of the Gong Yoo series 'Big'. But I double-checked and the umbrella was actually pale green. Rats.

I found another red umbrella! It wasn't in a K-drama but in a 2023 A24 film about the heroine immigrating from Korea, 'Past Lives'. A scene of the two leads playing as children under a statue, one of them with a red umbrella. 'Past Lives' is on several people's list for the best film of the year.

Secret Love. Min-hyuk's ex-girlfriend was using a red umbrella when she met with that fateful hit-and-run accident which changed the lives of 3 of the main characters.
