[K-drama Treasure Hunt] Gifted shoes, with trust of not running away

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:

Gifted shoes, with trust of not running away.

 
Your mission:

We all know that gifting shoes can be risky because it means the receiving party might just waltz away. But K-drama characters often show their daring (and their love) by giving shoes when they please.

To that end, find every scene you can where someone gives shoes as a gift and mentions that they trust the other person won’t run away. Sometimes it’s a couple item (as we just saw in A Hundred Memories) — and many times it does not work out well for the gift giver. But no matter the results, if you know a drama with faith in gifted footwear, you got a winner.

 
Reference drama:

A Hundred Memories (Episode 6)
