[K-drama Treasure Hunt] Male leads jumping over a couch
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 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:
Male leads jumping over the back of a couch
Your mission:
Find all those semi-swoony scenes where a stealthy male lead hops over the back of sofa. If you’re watching Lovely Runner (and you should be!), you’ll have seen this stunt recently when our hero tried to hide the fact he’d been listening to our heroine’s phone call outside the door. Nice try — but the upside-down magazine he’s “reading” on said sofa is a dead giveaway.
Thanks @elinor for this treasure hunt idea!
Reference drama:
Lovely Runner (Episode 8)

The only one I can remember wasn’t done by the ML but his friend. It’s in the drama Another Ms. Hae Young when KJS character have to hide behind the sofa because the main couple suddenly (and rightfully) barged into the ML’s bedroom and started to making out all over the room (they did it on sofa too!). The fact that he got caught after failed miserably on his attempt to silently escaped only added hilarity to the whole situation.

This doesn't exactly fit the premise (sorry!), but there's a very cute FL couch-jumping scene in Sh**ting Stars Ep. 9 when Tae Sung and Han Byeol's sweet moment is interrupted by the arrival of his assistant. She dives behind the couch to hide, only to be joined by him moments later after he sends the assistant away.

🫰👏🫰 This came to my mind as well!
Plus KTL: Gu Won doing pushups against the side of the couch, while he was waiting for Sarang to finally respond to his messages. 😂 Doesn’t exactly fit the bill, either, but comes to mind, thinking about

I feel pretty confident that Rain did this in Full House, but I don't have proof 😬

Rain has a tendency (and capability) to casually step over furnitures, so I completely believe you! 😁

Queen of Tears, obviously. Did he jump over the entire couch in order to get to the bedroom? 🤔

I have two that are right now on top of my head:
Soundtrack #1: When Sunwoo turns up at Eun Soo's doorsteps (she invited him to stay with her for two weeks to help her write a song about unrequited love), jumps on the sofa and tells her he is cold.
Doctor Slump: Jeong Woo jumps on the sofa to get away from cockroaches, followed by Ha-neul, who then gets mad because he left her behind.
Someone made an awesome gif about this but I can't for the life of me remember who it was.

Oh, I was thinking about this one:

😂👏
Hmmmm, but now you got me pondering… 🤔 Somehow, I have the feeling to have seen a mashup of that Business Proposal cockroach incident and the one in Dr Slump, but that one I cannot seem to find again… 👀😵💫🫣
Maybe that was Seon-ha‘s? (Or maybe, just maybe, that’s just all in my head. 😂)

Oh yes, that's the one I was remembering too! Sorry for the misdirect.
There was a mashup gif recently that was very funny. Too many k-dramas! I can't remember who posted it.

Yes!!! THANK YOU Sonai, this is the one.
Thanks Cecile. I do not know why I didn't find it on your wall. This was truly hilarious. Seon ha and Cecile had some of the best gifs of Doctor Slump.

Sunwoo and Jeong Wo are coincidentally, by chance, not related at all by any Sikcret.

I swear there's a scene in Legend of the Blue Sea where LMH's character is jumping over couches trying to chase Shim Cheong (he even trips at one point I think??)

Oh and maybe one in Park's Marriage Contract???? I have vague memories of Bae In-hyuk in that crisp white shirt leaping over or onto a couch....or maybe that's just my brain writing up fantasy scenes ahahhahaha (someone confirm if I'm hallucinating or not)

FATED TO LOVE YOU. In episode 18, Jang Hyuk uses the sofa as a parkour hurdle and then jumps over Jang Nara into bed.

This represent a shortened version of a scene full of various indoor gymnastics ... I am not quite sure whether the prolonged scene *actually* contains an actual jump over a sofa in addition to running around it and making sit-ups in it, but if not, I am pretty sure that the two snacky rivals jump over a sofa when 2ML comes to Min-min's house to make sure nothing happens to Strong Girl Bong-Soon.
I think they jump over a sofa in his boy-cave to land and play video games, before they start competing on... everything else, including drinking, of course.
