How many times have I said the following upon finishing a drama- “Where can I get that stuffed pig, dog, weird thing? I want one!”
Okay, maybe like five times. Five times exactly! Henceforth are what I consider the best stuffed creatures that inhabit K-drama land. Feel free to disagree- the more stuffed cuteness the better!
1. Meat- My Girlfriend is a Gumiho
A chicken leg with a pink bow? Sign me up. This stuffed animal reflected its owner perfectly. Mi Ho, in all of her naivety and simple joy over meat was a blast to watch. Making her even more of a blast to watch- her cuddly chicken leg!
2. Alfred- Goong
I do not care who you are- there is something sad about an almost grown man having a teddy bear as his only confidant. It is like A.A. Milne took a queue from that drama that lasted fourteen episodes too long (you know who you are!) and was asked to create Goong. All kidding aside (and I am joking- Go Alfred all the way!), it is sweet and a poignant reminder of the fact Alfred’s owner is a prisonor by birth, attached to a position and lifestyle he did not pick for himself. At least he has Alfred!
3. F4 Kitty- Boys Over Flowers
Jan Di’s family start pumping out the stuffed animals in order to make ends meat. Jan Di takes their new occupation and makes a Jun Pyo stuffed kitty. I must say, I have never wanted a cat stuffed animal so much in my life! Jan Di’s dedication make this stuffed cat a keeper. Fighting!
4. Radish Cuteness- Rooftop Prince
Another bizarre stuffed animal, another great moment in K-drama land. The stuffed veggie belonging to Park Ha (won in an ever adorable way be Lee Gak) is surely a keeper. Not only will you be fulfilling your daily need of veggies- you will smile everytime you remember Lee Gak staring at amazement at the crane game. It is a win-win.
5. Miss Pig- My Name is Kim Sam Soon
The sheer torment this stuffed animal inflicts on Hyun Bin’s character and his unresolved feelings is a testament to its place in drama land. Just go after her already! That pig is not going away- it is like the Chucky doll of K-dramas. Plus, it is the perfect stuffed animal for an imperfect heroine. An imperfect heroine that turned out to be the perfect heroine for drama lovers far and wide. Thanks Miss. Pig!
Lore In Stone Cities 
you forgot the stuff toy in personal taste
I hear you- it is my second favorite stuffed animal from a Lee Min Ho drama. While I loved it to pieces it just could not breach my top five. Just my opinion- it comes in a at 6 in my book 🙂
I’d swap out Jan-Di’s cat for Tae Kyung’s pig-rabbit.
I hate to admit it- I have never watched You’re Beautiful all of the way through. I tried, I really did. I am a huge Hong Sisters fan and made a serious effort to adhere to my fan-girl self but I just could not do it. It is the one Hong Sisters drama I never finished- it hit me at a not good drama point and I never boarded the train. Ohhhhhh A-M you found my Achilles heel! But I have always heard great things-I hope to go back to it someday.
