Name That Drama: Glueing eyeballs on stuffed animals

Help @missvictrix identify this drama:
Ages ago I watched a drama where the down-and-out heroine and her family (mom?) had to make ends meet by glueing (or sewing?) eyeballs onto stuffed animals (bears?). I think it was an old and cheesy drama — like Boys Before Flowers — but I can’t seem to remember it. I swear I’ve seen this trope in other dramas since, and I love it, because the drama gods know that when things get rough, you can always perform menial labor tasks at your kitchen table. Can anyone help me find this drama?

Yes, it is Coffee Prince. When Han Gyul helps her sew on the eyes after rescuing her from the fighting couple, that's when Eun Chan convinces him to take over the coffee shop. He keeps the one that he sewed with crooked eyes and the position of that doll on his shelf indicated how their relationship was progressing. Those dolls and the other menial piece work--peeling chestnuts-- played a great part in the drama.

Also, he had three volumes of an old 26-volume Danish Encyclopedia lying around, like, for goodnight-reading?
We had that, when I was a child, before the internet n'all. Leatherbound, the title gilded: Salmonsens Konversations Leksikon.
Not so relevant, just had to say it because you mentioned "shelves".

I seem to recall this being in a lot of the older dramas but the names alas escape me. It was pretty popular as a way to stretch the budget.

In the current weekender and the immediate previous one I watched, the 2 screeching intolerable characters had this as a do at home gig.

Coffee Prince - this was so long ago I barely remember the details
I think something similar was done by the FL's mom in Live Your Own Life.

Coffee Prince!!
The family also did chestnut peeling as noted by @pynyc. The chestnut picking scene remains to this day my favorite kdrama scene - for which @Javabean said during the live recap that the scriptwriter deserved a rise.
https://youtu.be/57XLHGiJJTM?si=UarpkwOxXqAOxVwM - poignant, bittersweet and tender. And the music, not to mention the ever charming Gong Yoo and Yoon Yue-hye.
