Thanks to all who joined in!
I was reminded of some great scenes, great dramas, and I added some new ones to my list thanks to you all!
I managed to answer all but the bandage/ointment one. I'm going to try to take screen shots of funny/sad/bandage/PP scenes this year so that I can remember better!

16-Feb : An actor that inspired a quest (watching other works)?
I started quests with my very 1st kDrama, so I have many ongoing.
The most successful quest that started in 2024 is Lee Seung Gi. I first saw him in "A Korean Odyssey," then went on to "Vagabond," "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho," and "King 2 Hearts."
I wasn't crazy about Gumiho, but he was great in the rest.
Not only is he a great actor, but he sings (he's done some of his dramas' OST songs), he's a philanthropist & he has led efforts to make the South Korean entertainment industry better and safer for actors & idols.

15-Feb : Most beautiful location?
For this year's dramas:
"Queen of Tears" has some of the most beautiful sets - the home, the department store, the small town, the aquarium, but the location shots in Germany were gorgeous - not only the buildings & monuments, but the field of flowers.
As for gorgeous locations within S. Korea, I think "Love Next Door" did a great job - the temple, the neighborhoods, the onggi pots all provided beautiful backdrops.

09-Feb : Most obvious / incongruent / inexplicable product placement & did you buy the product?
"My Demon" - that super bright vitamin drink that showed up at the office - okay, I get that.
BUT - she's drinking the bright blue drink in her gorgeous white wedding dress!!! What if she spills? Made me so nervous!
I did not buy it, but you can.
I did buy a Samsung phone after seeing one in "Forecasting Love & Weather" (I'm pretty sure that the 1st place I saw the folding phone).
I did also buy the under-eye gel things that were in "Business Proposal." Don't know if they work, but they feel nice.

14-Feb : Most memorable kiss?
"Lovestruck in the City"
Ji Chang Wook & Kim Ji Won
(IMHO, better than "Healer")
Day 19: an actor that inspired a quest
None, really …
I don’t go looking for other shows to watch based on the actors. I pick shows based on the synopsis (sometimes in combination with reviews) and if there is an actor in there that I liked in another show, that’s just a bonus.
I also don’t look up details about them or their lives, or behind the scenes, or interviews or any of that. It just doesn’t interest me. I just want to watch a good show 😁
(And this is the case for ANY actor, not just Korean ones)
But I see so many people posting about all that stuff, so it seems like I’m an exception here 😄
Day 19: An actor that inspired a quest.
There Can Be Only (Wang Ji) Won
Watching her in #KDrama I Need Romance 3 (a role she's called her favourite) triggered a quest to watch EVERYTHING she's been in, right down to Korean Top Gear, CFs, (with Won Bin!) and this ADORABLE segment from an SBS reality show featuring her and her (KNB principal) husband in her ballet studio. Her acting career led her back to ballet in the end, so yay!
