Name That Drama: Fake bags and fed-up workers
by mary
Ready for another round of drama-sleuthing? Help out your fellow Beanies or use this form to send in your own questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.
- Don’t drive your whole company away
I’m trying to remember this drama about a smart girl who’s a new CEO. She’s very strict that she offends the old workers. She takes the scolding too far and the old workers walked out. Later on, the girl goes around and apologizes to the elders because they’re the only ones who know how to keep the company runing.
- Everyone has a story
This month’s scene stealer theme reminds me of that one show which I can’t remember. LOL I just know that right at the end, the camera zooms out and the screen is divided into tiny screens of the side characters and extras throughout the show. And there was this parting message saying that everyone is the star of their own story, even if the show was only able to focus on a few stories.
- Let me check my horoscope
Help! While watching Terrius, there’s a scene where Ae-rin checks her horoscope before a job interview. It reminds me of another show where one of the characters also checks the horoscope before doing anything. I don’t remember if it’s a main character or just a funny friend. I just know in this other drama, the character is always checking their luck and stuff and interpreting everything that happens as proof that the horoscope is right.
- Why does everyone owe money in dramaland?
Please help me remember this drama! There’s this show where the girl owes the guy some money but can’t pay it. The guy makes her run all sorts of errands. One of the errands is to return a branded bag for refund, but the girl gets humiliated in the high-end shop because the bag the guy gave to her is a fake. I think the guy knows it’s fake. That’s why he sent her to try and scam money out of the shop.
- If you can guess this, you’re amazing
This is short because I don’t have any other clues. 🙁 I just know that there was a show this year or last year where they use “Ah-maazing” as a sound effect. Kinda like how the goat sound is used in Answer Me shows. I know it’s a shot in the dark, but do you know what show is this?
Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!

OOOOH this is the first time I'm going to try and "answer" a Name that Drama!
2) - Drinking Solo has 9 x split screen at the end with all the characters taking a swig of a drink, I think they say "cheers" but can't remember if there's anything about everyone's story.
3) Is that Bo-Nui in Lucky Romance?
the others all sound so familiar lol

#3 does sound like Bo-nui in Lucky Romance! But the asker didn't mention how frustrating that plotline was. Haha~ they almost made it sound like a cute quirk.

Maybe that was the original's writer's intention too, but somehow Bo-Nui just came across as annoying and STOOPID!

Yep, no. 3 is Lucky Romance and I hope you're not planning to watch it because it was really frustrating.

My ID is Gangnam Beauty used the "ah-maazing" sound effect this year, but now I really want to be super ahmaaazing trying to find out what other shows did the same!

@mary, be "amazing" I hope you meant "ah-maazing"! 😂Somehow the difference of inflection is really important to me!

Hehe I remember because in one of our crazy threads @lurkermabz commented on the awesome "ah-maazing" sound effect when Kyung-seok freezes at Mi-rae's suggestion of heading back to her apartment together 🤣

Wow, thank you for solving the mystery that it's Gangnam Beauty! <3
Reading story no.5 I mimicked "ah-mazz-ing" instinctively, and could not remember which drama is that! :D

2. It reminded me of Mixed-up Investigation Agency. I remember that show has so many cameos and side characters and they did that shot at the last eps.
3. Hmm... Is it Chun Song-yi from You Ftom Another Star?

#2 is definitely Mixed-up Investigative Agency. That's one of their epilogues and I remember it well because it always stuck with me.

For anyone interested, it's the epilogue for ep 14. JB discusses it at the end of her recap here.

Wah! Great catch! I've been browsing through final episode recaps to figure out #2. So it isn't a final ep but an epilogue of one of the eps?

This is such a late reply that you've probably already figured it out, but yes, it is!
This show is my favorite and this epilogue, in particular, always stuck with me :)

Oooooh~ could be! I remember there's that annoying uncle who suddenly became the hero because he turned the protesting elders around.

Good catch! It has to be Cinderella's Sister! Unless they've used this trope in other dramas. Now I want to re-watch it.
As for the other questions, I've never even watched any of those dramas.

Hmm...MGY is not a CEO in Cinderella’s Sister...I was thinking “Birth of a rich man” with Lee Bo Young or “Witch Yoo Hee”? It’s been so long...but I seem to remember watching a drama like that...

I don't think so, I remember that scene the op mentioned and I'm positive that I've never seen Alice in Cheongdamdong.

# 4 really does sound like Cheongdam-dong Alice except... the main character wasn't forced to return the bag but rather she thought it was real and did not want the guy to waste money on the bag so wanted to return it, not knowing that it was actually a fake.

#4 Maybe I am dead wrong, but reading some of the comments it came up to my mind that there's a tiny chance it could be "Cinderella and the four knights"? But I don't trully recall a scene like this, only that it could be possible.
I don't think it was "Heirs" but that could be another possible drama.
