Name That Drama: Oranges, raincoat-wearing bad guys, and too many siblings

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.
- Orange allergy
My mom watched a K-drama years ago that she doesn’t remember the name of. The main girl had an orange allergy. Apparently, the main guy goes in a room, and he sees second lead guy telling the staff there should not be any oranges in the room because of the girl’s allergy. The main guy understands (or misunderstands?) the situation. Can someone help me find the name of this drama?
- Maid with many siblings
I watched a drama about ten years ago and I can’t for the life of me remember its name. The female lead worked as a maid for the male lead, but something happened to her parents and her (4, 5, 6?) younger siblings also moved in. I’m pretty sure I watched it on Netflix, but again, that was a while ago.
- Jealous MIL
I remember a drama where the mother-in-law gets jealous of her daughter-in-law when she asks her son (the grandson) to take her out for some mother/son time with a movie and dinner. She tries to imitate the daughter-in-law in the same way, asking her son to go for a date with her, but gets an outright refusal. Can you recall which drama this is from?
- Raincoat baddies
So I’m in the middle of watching The Raincoat Killer on Netflix, and there’s this scene where the killer’s son — while his father is in the middle of killing one of his victims — calls him to ask about his flu. That’s when I feel the deja vu… I feel like I’ve watched this scene before, but can’t recall the drama it might be from. I googled it, but the only adaptation from this case was The Chaser, and I don’t think that’s it. Can anyone help me figure this out?
Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!

I loved Stars Falling From the Sky (#2). The parents had adopted younger children and the oldest was their biological daughter who had to figure out how to raise them after the parents died in a car crash.

2. Stars Falling From the Sky: As a coincidence with the orange allergy drama, one of her younger siblings was named Orange in Korean (Joo-hwang). All the siblings were named after colors of a rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo), and this drama was where I learned the words in Korean.

1 & 3 sounds familiar but cannot recall.
2 is definitely Stars Falling From the Sky.
I think 4 could be Through the Darkness IIRC. But it could easily be any of the psychopath dramas. That case was parodied in many dramas that they all tend to overlaps.

Number 3 is killing me. I know I've seen that. It happens a lot in family dramas.
That family was rich, right?
2. Yep, like everyone said it's Stars Falling from the Sky. A really cute show, I loved it.

I have just read a review of Stars falling from the sky it sounds really cute, and funny but it also had a thriller element running in the background so maybe it’s not such a new trend to mix romance with dark tones!

It is not a new trend. I have been watching dramas for 15 years and always liked my romcoms to have a dash of thrill. But the difference is that back then the thrill was never as tonally jarring. Nowadays they go all out on the thrill part.

I think nowadays the thriller element gets lot more screentime. Now you have entire scenes of bad guys lurking in shadows, wearing black, and the protagonists having anxiety-inducing close brushes with violence/death.
In the past, the bad guy was obvious- someone rich wanting to kill so that they can become more rich.
I think the parents' death ended up not being an accident and the oldest girl/heroine had a birth secret.

I don't remember the thriller element tbh. I don't think it was anything important, you should give the show a try, it was adorable!

I don’t remember that scene happening in the drama, but
Mouse used elements based on real life Raincoat Killer so maybe?

I think I've seen 3 recently. It might have been Rooftop Prince or My Beautiful Gong Shim.

So glad this feature has returned as I have a drama I need to find. The only problem is my key memories are the tropes I now realise are in loads of dramas🤣 despite this I am hopeful someone in the community will be able to help me out, if it is featured.

I think I know #3. It's probably from Beautiful Gong Shim. The second male lead (On Joowan) went on a date with his mother. His biological grandmother (his father is the son of a mistress) felt lonely, so she suggested to his dad that they spend some together because she felt bored, and he, not-so-nicely, told her to play Go Stop.
