[K-drama Treasure Hunt] Flickering lights
by Dramaddictally
Welcome to the K-drama treasure hunt, where we all go looking for K-drama treasure in the form of tiny drama details that we know and love. Sometimes these details take the shape of well-worn tropes (oppa Band-Aiding) or storytelling devices (Top Secret Deadly Allergy), but other times it’s just details we know we’ve seen in other dramas, but need help putting all the clues together.
Each week we’ll put you on the hunt for a piece of K-drama treasure, and you can report your findings in the comments.
There’s no umpire in this game, so if you find the detail we’re looking for, drop the drama title (or even better, drama title + episode number) in the comments, and we’ll all take your word for it. Or, we’ll go binge watch just to see it play out.
And remember, we’re here to map our way to the treasures not to the plot twists! We know how exciting it can be to have all the hard-earned details stashed in your head, but let’s try to keep the spoilers out of the comments.
This week’s treasure:
Flickering lights
Your mission:
Track down any and all scenes where the lights flicker to mimic, express, or reflect a character’s emotional state or inner thoughts. We saw it in the latest episode of No Gain No Love and we’ve certainly seen it (somewhere!) before.
Thanks @Britney for this treasure hunt idea!
Reference drama:
No Gain No Love (Episode 10)

The ones I remember the most are the heart lights I first saw in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo and Strong Woman Do Bong Soo. I know those were used in other dramas but I can't remember the rest at this time.

The flickering light in Extraordinary Attorney Woo - the hallway outside the apartment when they first kiss. Beautifully shot and the flickering light was the perfect creative emphasis on that scene.

Not exactly flickering lights but in Hometown Cha-cha-cha had a scene where the lights go off in the FL's house and as she puts on the shoes ML got for her, the lights come on - very sweet moment. Lights were a bit of a motif in the show - ML getting a street light repaired for her, finding her with a flashlight when she's scared, etc.
