Understanding Kdrama: Jjimjilbang Or Sauna Scenes

There are enough sauna scenes in kdramas that serious drama fans have probably seen someone get scrubbed in one, wear the distinctive sauna head towel or relax in a communal jjimjilbang room.

One of the more memorable and funnier sauna scenes took place when Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won visited the gender-segregated part of a sauna after they switched bodies in "Secret Garden."

Another fun sauna scene took place when Lee Min Ho was surprised by the intense way Gu Hye Sun's father scrubbed his back in "Boys Over Flowers."

Kim Bum and Park Jin Hee spend a romantic night together in a sauna in "The Woman Who Still Wants To Marry," or at least until she runs into her fiancée. Yoon Sang Hyun was described as the son of a sauna owner in "I Hear Your Voice" and in some scenes you can see him dispensing fresh towels. Characters in the dramas "I Do, I Do" and "Personal Taste" temporarily live in saunas when they have nowhere else to go.
