Name That Drama: And other non-drama things

- Name that author (possibly two)
I have two separate book-related drama scenes in my mind but I don’t know if they’re from the same drama or not.
The first scene is in a bookstore. The woman is a writer and a guy moves her books to the bestsellers shelf and they giggle and run away. I think this was after a fight about her being an author?
The second scene is a group of ladies chatting. One of them says she sold only 200 copies of her book. It’s weird that I remember the number of copies sold but not the drama itself. Please help me find this drama!
- Name that sitcom
I’ve had this scene in my head for a reaaally long time but I’ve never figured it out. I am pretty sure this was a sitcom about a group of friends. For sure before 2010s, there was a girl who really liked a boy (both part of the main friend group, I think) and she was taking pictures of her other friends with a digital camera. Then she spots her crush with a white fluffy puppy and she secretly takes photos of him kissing the puppy, and then gets herself photoshopped into that picture so that he’s kissing her instead. But her other friends find out and get the photoshopped picture printed on everything, like cups and t-shirts and stuff, and uses that to blackmail the girl into doing everything they want her to. In the end, though, the guy does find out somehow, and for punishment the girl had to bunjee jump.
It’s a really specific scene, so it would be a great help if anyone recognizes this. Thanks!
- Name that period drama
Trying to remember this period drama that has this scene:
GIRL sneaks in to the kitchen(?) and chances upon the BOY prince (some royalty). Officials spotted and asked them to step out, the BOY steps out and they became polite immediately seeing his face. I can’t recall if the BOY asked them to keep quiet about this identity during this scene. My guess is the GIRL and BOY chanced upon each other and the BOY hid his royal status from her.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
- Name that summary
I haven’t watched this drama but I remember wanting to check it out except I only remember the plot summary: an old couple were looking forward to retirement when suddenly, their five(?) adult children move back in with their spouses and disturb the peace.
Does anyone know what show this is?
- Name that horrible sister
I need help trying to identify a K-Drama. It’s about a woman who lost her memory because she was in an accident when a truck turned over. No one knew who she was or how she got in the truck. Fast forward. The woman has found her father and goes to see him, but arrives at his funeral. It is found out later that the step sister saw the little girl in the back of the truck, but turned her back and pretended not to hear the little girl calling for her. Long story, but both girls end up having the same mother in the end.
Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!

Not Goblin. There, the king did go out in civilian clothes, but to spy on his betrothed while she balanced bowls on her head. But I do think MDBC is a great possibly. I seem to remember her hiding there, but not meaning to, she overheard one of the other eunuch’s and lady’s maids canoodling and the prince finding her and she shush’s him too. I don’t think it was a kitchen either, but there was food or grains there?

3 LT is Irresistibly Indifferent and reminded of the slow march of death
May 6, 2019 at 10:18 PM
Oh, I know five! But I can't quite...
The older girl in that was Kim So-hyun, I remember that. She was the jealous older sister who did nothing while her sister was lost. Because I remember thinking that Young [insert character name] was a much better actor than her older self.
How do I remember the scene end the actor but not the drama?? There's a reincarnation element here. The older jealous sister was reflected in both timelines and in both timelines she did something horrible to her younger sister.

Wasn't there a scene like second part of #1 in Sky Castle? At least I remember the women sitting together at a table and asking Lee Tae Ran about how many copies her book sold.
And like Beverly said, #4 sounds like Father I'll Take Care Of You.

5. Rooftop Prince? I think the female lead was also at the back of the truck and had an accident when she was younger but this step sister pretended not to see her.

1) The first, I think it's Matrimonial Chaos. She wrote a book for children.

Ooh I think you’re right! My guess was Bad Papa, but Jang Hyuk wasn’t giggly in that.

I agree, I think the first scenario is from Matrimonial Chaos.
And, I also think that second one might be from Sky Castle.

#2 sounds like Princess Hours. I don't remember the scene anymore but the Crown Prince is very popular in school given he is to succeed the throne in an alternate-South Korean constitutional monarchy.

Could number 3 be 'Goddess of Fire'?
I remember she messes with the prince quite a lot before she knew who he was....

I feel like I've seen #3..
It kind of reminds me of 100 Days My Prince as well (when they were in the kitchen because she wanted to cook something for him) but it might not be that one... I don't remember if he showed himself to the people who had spotted them.

I think the 1) a) is from « imaginary cat » : Yoo Seung Ho works in a bookstore, and his manager is a big fan of the sister of the main girl. And there is a scene where the manager puts her book in the bestseller section (though she doesn’t sell anything) to make her happy.
I know I have seen 3... but I can’t remember when.
As everyone said, I think 5 is rooftop prince.
Wow, first time actually knowing dramas !!! ^^

I think number three is ruler master of the mask because I watched it recently and it wasn't the Man who became king or Haechi-they didn't have hidden identities. But, if you can help it, I wouldn't watch Ruler I would watch or rewatch Yeo Jin Goo's show.

So number 3 is definitely Moon Embracing the Sun with 15 year old Yeo Jin Goo, Kim Yoo Jung, and Kim Soo Hyun. (I've not watched the show - because drama - but I saw the exact scene you described in YouTube video) I get why people confuse it with Moonlight Drawn by Clouds: they sound similar, they're both sageuks, and Kim Yoo Jung was in both. Plus in Moonlight drawn by clouds the prince also hid his status from her. (I'm seeing a pattern here 🤔) But trust me, it's not 😊. MDbC had Park Bo Gum not Yeo Jin Goo. I watched most of it over the summer and there was no kitchen scene when she didn't know who he was. Plus they were all grown. Only MEtS has them as kids.
