*yes, those are my initials, but for this post they stand for product placement.
If it's "It's Okay Not to Be Okay", it's Volvos. If it's "Our Blues", it's Samsung Galaxy. And let's pay tribute to the holy grail of Subway!! It's everywhere in Kdramas. When I saw the gang chowing down in "Crash Landing on You", it made me almost want to eat at Subway. Almost.
Maybe the new kid is chaebol’s son lol..
I find that when they are making coffee from a prepackaged container or drinking the energy potions from the pouches, it doesn’t bother me because I don’t know what it is. If it was a US show, I would feel differently because the product placement is so blatant.
I also really want to get a Subway sandwich when I see them eating one. Looks so delicious!
What I've noticed is that any given show will feature one car manufacturer. For example, in Vincenzo everyone drove Cadillacs. In Hospital Playlist everyone drove a Mercedes. My favorite one recently was when a young, new-to-the-working-world guy was driving a Maserati. Really? I drove a Plymouth Horizon when I was starting out...
