[K-drama Treasure Hunt] First snow moments

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 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:

First snow moments

 
Your mission:

Shovel through your drama knowledge to find scenes of the first falling snow and then tell us about the important happenings. The moment that comes to mind might be a snowy kiss, like the lovely scene in Twenty Five Twenty One where distancing our leads only brings them closer together. But also contained in that scene are tears, an argument, and declarations of love — all of which count as first snow moments in this round.

 
Reference drama:

Twenty Five Twenty One (Episode 13)

* A Piece of Your Mind: They watch the first snow together from the veranda of the ML’s home.
* I’m not a Robot: Pretty sure it at least shows in the final scene where they watch the meteor shower… but it might even be earlier?

🤔 It seems like there a just SO MANY shows with this trope, but I’d have to double check before I can say for certain… (Pretty sure it snows in Something in the Rain, but unsure if it’s “a thing” for the OTP.)

There are a lot of dramas with this trope.

Now, I remember Forecasting Love and Weather because they talked about the criterias for the first snow of the Winter.

Because it's so fresh in my mind - towards the end of Sweet Home when the see the first snow fall - it's right after many tragic events and right before everything blows up, so it represented this really melancholic poignant moment where time feels like it was standing still and the snow is a symbol of hope for all the survivors.

What was special about this: he was walking away until he saw the snowflakes. Then he turned around and went back.

Since Crash landing on you and Healer are already cited, I'll go with a drama at the other end of my appreciation range but a with a scene where the romantic significance of the first snow is explained : Romance is a bonus book. In this drama we learn that Corean belive that if lovers watch the first snow falling, they'll stay together. So when the first snowflakes are annonced, there is a rush in town to call and go to the loved one.

There's an adorable scene between the teens, Hui-soo and Bongseok, in episode 7 of Moving when sit on a park bench in the evening, finding their way back to one another after a break in their friendship...and the first snow begins to fall.

Later in the episode, when Bongseok really commits to learning to tame his capacity to fly...it's still snowing, which I've always liked to think symbolized his (first) love for Hui-soo, affection that helped him channel his desire to fly grow up.

Dr. Romantic, Teacher Kim S1

Now that you've reminded me, cdrama LOVE IS SWEET has a first snow confession scene that belongs to romcom texbooks (I feel heavy kdrama influence here btw) - it's emotional, sensual, gorgeously shot, yada-yada... and THEN these two horndogs proceed to make out like there's no tomorrow all the way to bed lmao! Not without some annoying obstacles for comedy ofc, but eventually the destination is reached to everyone's total satisfaction))) End of Ep20-beginning of Ep21, in case if you want to check it out for science^^

I'm sure season 1 of *Yumi's cells* has a first snow scene but I don't remember. But in season 2 it's Christmas Eve and if I'm not mistaken, it's the first snow, and Yumi and Wung accidentally meet up again for the rice cooker exchange.

Ancient history: a scene in Snow Queen when the FL is so transported by the first snow that you see the ML lead fall in love with her right then. He may or may not kiss her impulsively 🤔

My Girl in which the FL declares that the first snow marks her birthday, whenever it is. This leads to a collection of snow globes by the ML after they are separated.

After kdramas, I now think of romance when we have our first snow as well. My best friend texted that they had snow a few weeks ago and I told her she’d better go kiss her husband!

All the series I can think of at the moment are already mentioned here. So I'll just add that I really love the way Koreans view the first snow ❄️🩵

True Beauty when the leads meet at Namsan Tower. It is snowing and and she rubs her eyes to see if it is really him or her imagination. (Episode  15)
Good job on her pushing him away as he whines he "missed her" a swift kick in the shins would have been preferable. 😋

Vincenzo (Episode 10) where the leads hug in the underpass (with the shot beautifully framing the snow falling) where he had been fighting with the gangsters and figured out Babel's "real" chairman.

It wasn't first snow but it was unexpected snow in While You Were Sleeping. It led to the ML's decision to intervene before the accident that would otherwise have ruined the FL's life, and also led to them meeting in a dreamy snow scene, for the first time as adults, not realizing they had met in the past.
